Ahhh, Life

If there's one thing that I can always count on in my life, it's that about 2-3 times a year, shit will hit the fan between my father and me. I got a super awesome voice mail from him while I was at work today regarding his disapproval with something I wrote on Facebook. And if you're thinking, "Golly, I didn't know D. Shizzle had Facebook! I totally want to add him," think again. My old man does not have a FB account, and instead something I wrote to my sister regarding getting a drunk dial from him passed through two other people (family members) in less than 24 hours and got back to my father. So there I sat today at work AT A PSYCH HOSPITAL AMIDST TWO OF THE MOST STRESSFUL DAYS I HAVE EVER KNOWN AT THAT FACILITY, listening to my dad tell me how disappointed he was in me....and that Facebook is "scandalous at best." Now, in retrospect, I can understand him being unhappy with the comment. BUT, did I write it with malicious intent? No. Is it something I would be upset with if written about me or to me? No, and I'm certain similar content has been distributed regarding past actions of mine. Still, I am sorry to have upset him, and I have deleted the comments. What I can't understand is why I cannot be approached differently? Do I have to get my ass chewed with every conflict? Does he really think that I am always out to get him? BECAUSE I HAVE LIVED MY WHOLE LIFE WITH THAT DUDE MAKING ME FEEL LIKE SHIT ABOUT EVERYTHING, even though he's sooo proud of me. Blah blah blah. So, I have not returned his delightful phone call, nor will I. There is no point. If I do, things will continue to escalate, despite whatever I try to say to him, including an apology, and I will break down. Hmm. Last I checked, I have a husband gone away, and I don't need this kind of bullshit from my family. There are more important things for me to worry about. Yeah, so commence not speaking to that set of parents again.

Tomorrow is my last day of work for the week. Woot. This is my last weekend off before the Croat comes to visit. How bitchin' is that?! However, that means I really need to whip the rest of this place into shape. Holy hell. So excited, though. Also, it's nice to have something to look forward to in October. Now I must find something for November. Whoooooooooo's next?! :-)
