She Was An American Girl

Who Are They?

*  They don't help me with my mom emotionally.

*  They don't help me with my mom financially.

*  They don't help me with my mom physically.

Who are they?

......Shaking my head in disgust.

Flabbergasted

I'm flabbergasted by people.  I just don't understand them.  I wish I didn't think about it and try to figure them out.  It's consuming me and making me depressed.

I'm having a huge challenge with one of my kids.  I'm at a loss.  I don't know what to do.  I decided to tell my ex a bit of what has been going on and I asked him what he suggested.  I heard nothing back from him.

What do I understand with that?  That he wants nothing to do with me ever again.  Yes, my kids are adults, but barely.  And will always be our children.  After 21 years of marriage and he can just cut me off like that.  I mean NOTHING. 

What did I do?  He's the one that had the affair.  I have never talked trash about his girlfriend to anyone, especially my kids.  I've never talked about about my ex to my kids, either.   If one of them comes to me about how she is pissing them off, I listen and I once in a while, I try to explain where she (the other woman) is coming from.  I can't be too blatant about that because that will piss them off.

I get hateful comments and remarks.  Everything I do is scrutinized.  I don't know how I became the bad person.  What did I do?  Just tell me!  What did I do?

Tell me what you think.

The Stinkin' Theives

I was woken up before 6 am Thursday morning with my phone ringing.  After having, what seemed like a very long debate with myself, I answered the phone.  I had very little enthusiasm or shock when the man on the other end asked me if I had just purchased a Mac on the Internet.  No, I have not purchased a computer at all in recent months, maybe even years.  Still half asleep, he let me know that someone is trying to use my credit card.  I had no reaction.  One because I was still asleep, two because this has happened so many times before.  He told me I need to call my credit card company to make sure it hasn't been successfully used.

I was about to go back to sleep when I realized, yeah, I better call Am Ex right now.  These theives, who live in Pensicola, Florida had tried to make a couple of purchases and two other Apple stores.  One thing that did create a reaction from me was the fact that they were able to successfully change the address on my account AND my password.

I called my M/C company to see if any fraudulant activity has been done with that card.  Nothing. Like in a film, a scene from the previous day played through in my head.  I had purchased gas at Costco.  As I pulled up the employee that I regularly see there was talking to another employee as he walked up.  All I could think was, "Why does this guy have to talk SO LOUD?"  He was telling the other guy, "I didn't think he worked here.  He wasn't even wearing a (Costco) badge."

My theory:  This guy who didn't work there and wasn't wearing a badge was at the gas pumps descreetly putting in those little devices that reads credit cards.  Obviously, mine was read and sold.  I called Costco to tell them my story and my theory, just to let them know, not to be mad with them.  Costco was thankful and I went back to sleep, therefore ruining my streak of waking up early (before 9 am) since Daylight Savings Time.
