I'm All Ears, Usually.

In the past two weeks I have had two of my girlfriends leave or dump their boyfriends and I have been all ears for both of them. I have wished so bad I could just snap my fingers and make their pain and doubt go away but it's never that easy. Well yesterday I kind of exploded. I was so sick of hearing the same thing over and over again and I snapped, I controlled myself when I was talking but I needed to get out of there and I needed a chance to vent myself. I love my friends and I want the best for them but sometimes I feel like they don't feel the same way about me. I listened to one of my girlfriends for nearly 4 hours (for the 5th day in a row) go on and on about how much she loves this guy but it just isn't going to work, nothing new to say, just complaining. Never once did she ask how I was or if anything was on my mind. In fact, I don't remember the last time she let me vent to her, about ANYTHING. I started to talk about something at one point and before I even finished my thought she was back onto her problems.
Luckily for me (and unfortunate for you guys) I have a blog were I can vent as much as I like! I'm sad, down and frustrated. I miss my grandfather, I can't stop tearing up every time I think about him and it literally kills me to know he will never see me walk down the aisle or hold my first child. I keep having memories of him and I know he is still with me but it hurts, a lot. I am frustrated with my job, I get no respect and I feel like I am running into a brick wall at full speed. My house is a mess, actually it's spotless to the eye, but underneath all that is MOLD and ishy things I can't even honestly talk about that right now. I know everyone has problems and mine are tiny compared to most but I feel like a very full glass bottle ready to break somedays. This will get easier I know.

Alright, back to yesterday. Eating was pretty good, I dug into my flex points a little, had I said no to the fruit smoothie at the salon I would have been fine, or maybe it was the chicken salad I had for dinner...either way it was worth it, I needed some protein and my body was very thankful. I ate a large amount of fruit with my chicken salad dinner and due to my stupid allergy to fruit I couldn't eat or drink anything the rest of the night (my mouth swells up and burns when I eat most fruits). So here it is, the first day of the week:

You can come here and vent all you want and I won't even try to change the subject back to me. :) I can fully understand where you are coming from it gets old hearing the same things over and over from your friends. You are very kind to be there for them and for this you deserve something special just for you. Hopefully they realize what a great friend they have in you. I am from Minnesota too so its nice to see someone from my home state. Have a wonderful day. :)

Honey, I used to have a friend like that. Notice I said USED to? She dumped me a year ago for reasons I won't bore you with, but DH said all he ever heard was my end of the conversations "Yeah, No, Really? I didn't know that, Good, Bye" Seriously, she never asked about me or what was going on and her life was ALWAYS drama! Everything was drama. It was insane. She was toxic and I am glad to be rid of her! We had been friends since the 5th grade, but it was always about her all the time. I was the maid of honor in her wedding and she was the bride from hell. Anyway, so I know how you fell there!

Vent here anytime. That's what it's here for. You write for you, we are just lucky to get to read your life. :)

I'm sorry you miss your grandpa. It's hard , but it will get easier some day. My grandpa didn't get to see me get married, but I know he would have been so proud of me. Yours is too. Look at all that you have accomplished in your young life! He's smiling down on you now. :)

Hope you have a better Friday!

Oh girl. I've had a friend like that. (again, a la Amanda, I say HAD)You can come here and vent anytime. We care about you.

I'm really sorry that you're missing your grandfather. I was super close to my gramps, and when he died in 01 it nearly killed me. I really hate that you're having to go through that. My heart goes out to you!
