Good morning friends. I hope you have all recovered from Christmas Day and got what you wanted as gifts.
Well what a trip to Trenton. I wasn't there 10 minutes when Sadie asks me to take her to Belleville. No please in there either. So I reply no, I just got here what do you want in Belleville? She rolls her eyes, says Dad gave me money and I want to get my lip pierced. Well, I will take you tomorrow. Rolls eyes again and pouts. So next day, with Mother's permission Les and I take her to Belleville, I have to sign because she is only 13. Lip gets pierced and home we go. No thank you, kiss my arse nothing. I am making dinner, she decides she is going out with her friend. She is told to be home before dark. We are eating dinner and she texts her mom and wants someone to go get her because she is cold and didn't wear a coat. No one is jumping up to get her. Texts her mom, nobody loves me, I want to die, yada yada yada. This goes on for a quite a while. Ok I will go get her. I drive there just steaming. Slam the brakes on and come to stop and give it to her. It gets nasty between us. I am really angry by this point, yelling. I ask her what she is mad about, she wants to die yada yada. I say you have a roof over your head, food in your belly, the best thing that happened to you is your mother, so stop ragging on her. I also tell her that I am just a taxi driver to her, nothing less. What were you told before you left the house? I dunno. I have anxiety and issues and that's what my problem is, is basically what she said. My last words were take responsibility for your actions and quite blaming the rest of the world. The night doesn't go so well, and then she tells her mother that I slapped her arm repeatedly. WELL, my blood is boiling inside of me as I try to defend myself to Phil. HE knows I would never slap her, her mother thought maybe in the heat of the moment maybe I did. I was so terribly hurt that she would even entertain the notion but I stay silent. I didn't sleep well that night, I literally thought she might try to hurt me somehow. The next morning all is as if nothing has happened. At one point Sadie comes downstairs and I apologize for yelling at her, I was wrong I should not have yelled, sorry. Not one word from her. We have Christmas dinner that night, her other grandparents are there and Maggie starts in on her. I shut my mouth. She is told she is rude..........Christmas Day arrives and the morning is spent relatively quiet. I go up to say goodbye and tell her that I love her. Sorry for the long rant, but there really isn't anyone I can talk to about this.
So we arrived home last yesterday afternoon after visiting with Les' Mom and his brother and family.
Also my neighbour calls over and invites us in for Christmas dinner. We had a lovely time and I was so touched that she invited us over. I did buy her a fabric folding pen that she saw here and really wanted. She is making a parka for her daughter and thought it would really come in handy. She couldn't wait to try it.
Today Les had to work but then after work we are headed to his sister's house for Boxing Day fondue. Another day I don't have to cook.
My niece LOVED her fabric box, especially the green fabric. Her shop is called MINT Hair Salon. I may have enough fabric left over to make her a wallet, the NCW is the one I want to make her. Wish me luck.
Happy Monday everyone.
