Not so wordless Wednesday

Hang out tight, or close the browser and come back tomorrow- I've got some venting to do.
Here is my general vent for the day- PEOPLE! I just don't get it, or them, should I say. And its not all people its more friends/acquaintances. Let me make one thing clear. I like my friends. I do. But of all my "friends" there is, hmmm, like ONE that I might take a pause if they suddenly went missing from my life. And no, its not who you think it is. But here's the deal. I'm tired of this being a one way road ok? I've dropped many a friend like a hot potato because they think they can just walk all over me or disappear and suddenly reappear like nothing happened. I don't take kindly to being repeatedly pushed to the back burner in favor of your OTHER friends. And I'm not going to stick around waiting until you decide I'm cool enough again. I'm not saying we should become BFFs and move into together and play MASH and date brothers (uuhhh...wait.) But make a GD effort. If I call you, ok text you, to make plans, if you don't want to then say "no". Don't say "sure, but I've got a bazillion other things to do then I'll call you." Then never call. First off- I'm NOT waiting for you by the phone, however, I do need to make plans. And if I call you to see if you want to go to the mall,and you say sure, I've still got to fill my time and I don't want to go to the mall and wait because either you won't call, or I'll get bored and leave and you WILL call and I don't want to have to be rude and all "Sorry, I got tired of waiting". Oh and while I'm at it. Don't whine at me that I never come visit you. *waves* *big grin* You know where I live too and the road goes both ways. And frankly, I'm tired of going to your house to sit and watch you do nothing. Oh, and random spur of the moment schedule changes make me want to slap you. I understand people run late. OK, but don't call me at 11:30 when we are supposed to meet at noon for lunch and tell me you can't make it until 1. Before you start telling me I'm one of those moms with her stopwatch and her schedule you can just hush it. I get spur of the moment. But trips to the park are spur of the moment. Walks around the neighborhood are spur of the moment. Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Naptimes and Bedtime are scheduled events around here (unless Chris is in charge and he does WhateverTF he wants to). Our day starts at 7:00, nap at 10, lunch at noon, nap at 3, dinner at 6, bed at 9. Every. Single. Day. Just because you call me on a Tuesday and the Sun is in the house of Mercury and the birds flew upside down today doesn't change my schedule when you call at 11 to come visit and I say no. I'm not going to wake Sophia up just because 11 is what "works" for you today.
So yea, maybe this is why I don't have many friends but whatever. At least now all my new friends know my schedule.
