Everything started off great. On paper she's perfect. She's a SAHM with a kiddo that's the same age as my kids AND she lives roughly in my neighborhood. WIN! For about a year we've played the Oh-we-need-to-set-up-a-playdate-game and said we would call "next week" but for a year next week never came. And then out of the blue next week arrived! So I lugged my three kids, snacks, drinks and sharable toys to the park and proceeded to do the mommy playdate thang.
After the initial introductions of our kiddos and the preliminary encouragement needed to get everyone to play together, she and I settled in to have our first mommy chat. I knew immediately that this wasn't meant to be when I had to explain what a blogger was and had to justify why anyone would want to be one (She doesn't even have a computer!

But it was really when she told me how she pitied me for having a "slow" child that I saw red. Honestly, I know that she didn't mean to come off as a condescending bitch, I'm really sure that she didn't mean it as an insult, which is the only reason I didn't deck
SURPRISINGLY, my children made no objections when I called them to get in the car. Apparently they really didn't dig little "Joey's" whiny, tattle-tale ways. The kid may be "gifted" but he's destined to get beaten up a lot. Porter said he was, "'tupid and needs a timeout." Logan said, "He's ok but he sure cries a lot." And Myriam kept telling him to "Go away! You STINK!" (He didn't smell that I could tell. But I didn't get too close because I found him to be
I really hoped that she found me just as annoying as I found her but that doesn't seem to be the case because now I'm ducking phone calls and using my blog's editorial calendar as excuses why we can't get together again. I really don't want to offend her and not just because we might have friends in common, it's just that I really don't want to spend another moment
So what do I do, folks? How do you lose a "friend" without being the stuck up bitch she tells all her friends about? That is, if she has friends....
Peace Out!
