Monday is here again

I hope everyone had a good weekend. I sorta did. Saturday was good. Yesterday started ok and then devolved into a shit show.

You guys feel free to tell me if I am wrong. I had a friend A from my studio. We hit it off over horses and she started letting me ride him. Now at the barn there are these two horsed that are owned by a girl called B. She never comes up and rides, has forbidden these horsed to be handled, is behind on board and has let their feet grow out into flippers. Its awful. I no longer could stand by and finally made a complaint to animal control with the support of A. She even said she wanted to write a statement. 

Some bg info that might be helpful at this point. When A came back here in January she had to leave her horse behind in Wyoming for some time and he was neglected while there, so he came home in a pretty sad state. Animal control was called for abuse. B is family or a family friend of the barn owners. A is 19. 

So anyways. Sunday comes animal control comes out. My name is mentioned (despite me asking it be kept anonymous) and the barn owner is pissed and has banned me from the barn. A's grandmother is also there and supposedly is saying some disparaging things about me as well. This is all coming from A. So needless to say I am hurt and upset. At this point A has not stood up for me, not revealed her part in this matter and basically, in my opinion thrown me under the bus. 

So at this point I have basically told her to kiss off. I don't need people in my life who I invest time and effort and emotions into to basically treat me with no respect.  She thinks its about me getting banned from the barn, but I don't think she realizes that its about her disrespect of me. 

Oh and on top of it "out of the blue" the owners daughter friends me on FB and I was like WTF do you want? I told her I think its funny they are having a conniption about these horses being called on and they didnt really seem to care about A's horse being called on. 

So thats kind of where I am. I still will have to see her at the studio sometimes and I am just trying to let the anger go now because its not worth it. I have said my piece, and I am done. There is no use being angry and rude to her because of it at this point.

georgeharrison - How was the Gondola rides? Did you happen to see if people could bring strollers?

Great weekend for us! We went to Good Guys Car Show, Haiku @rtc, Piano Guys, did some shopping, took baby swimming. Lots of fun. I am resigning from my position, today. I'm dreading talking to my boss. It's going to be so awkward.

@aellasbeth , sorry about the friend/barn drama.

minion , the gondola was fun. I am 99% sure I saw people with strollers. The gondolas are really big, so there is plenty of space.

My weekend was decent. Not much besides our Saturday outing, but it was a nice day for it, so thumbs up. Errands and resting the rest of the weekend.

I'm back at work this week which is a huge bummer. I love spending time with my boy and I don't love working. Ha.

My weekend sucked.

[georgeharrison]

kwpnjumper55, I'm really sorry. Let me know if I can do anything.

Hi!

I'm sorry to hear that the weekend kind of sucked for everyone. Hugs all around!

Mine was okay - FIL was up to his usual antics this weekend. He was doing so well, too! Usually he's pretty respectful of me, but he was just an a-hole this weekend. He really doesn't respect me as a parent, and just completely passes me over. I am the last resort when he's doing stuff with the kids and they need something. He always calls for MIL or DH first - never me. And when I make suggestions about how he could do things with the kids (I suggested that maybe he could take the lid off of DS's milk and he could drink from the cup because he does well with that now), he was super sarcastic and asked if I wanted to be the one to clean him up when he makes a mess? Um, no. DH stood up for me, but still. I cannot stand the blatant disrespect FIL gives me. It's really annoying - and DH wonders why I get defensive around his dad.

Sigh.

Good luck on the resignation.  I am always so nervous when I have to do that.  But you have to do what is best for you.

Thank you. I need the luck. I always think their response is gonna be "Eff it, you can leave now and don't come back".

I always think that, too.  And that they will be like, "Oh awesome.  I was going to have to fire you for sucking so bad anyway." and then I'd have to cry.

*hugs* @aellasbeth Not sure what advice to give. I don't blame you at being upset that A didn't stand up for you.
Good luck minion

I had a pretty decent weekend. Gaming Friday night was interesting, lots of bad dice rolls for me. Saturday was lots of fun - we went to lunch at Marination Ma Kai and then did lots of walking along the water and over in Alki and that beachy area on the other side of Alki, hunting pokemon and generally enjoying the weather. Was a bit too much though, I somehow got sunburned THROUGH my thick t-shirt on my shoulders and we forgot to reapply sunscreen (although at least we had applied at all). Bad night of sleep so Sunday I was exhausted. Went to Sounders game, I started shutting down in the middle of the game because I was so exhausted. I started crying while we waited for light rail because I was just so. damn. tired. Even though it was after 4 when we got home, I had to take a nap as I just could no longer function. then took it easy and watched tv. I took Tylenol PM to try to help me sleep last night and it sorta helped but I can feel the exhaustion creeping back in. I need that sleep study asap!

I really need to do laundry and clean the kitchen but we'll see what energy I have by the time i get home...

@aellasbeth, that is a sucky situation. I guess at that point I'd just be happy as long as the horses in need were getting some attention and helped and everyone else could just f-off.
minion, Fingers crossed all goes well and you can finally get some relief from it all.
kwpnjumper55, big hugs. I'm still struggling with the hound being gone. Hang in there.

Not much exciting going on here. We are back to are filled weeks and I am trying to get some Dr stuff taken care of. I'm starting to feel a little better with an increase in my thyroid meds, its only been 3 or 4 days but i'm starting to notice the difference and I'm beyond relieved.

For everyone struggling today, hang in there! Only 2 more Mondays until Thursday and the weekend is in site

kwpnjumper55, lots of hugs

@aellasbeth, I think that the barn owner should have done something about the horses, but since they do not seem that concerned it was good to make sure that the horses are ok and getting the care they need. Your friend just doesn't seem to be strong enough to stand up for you and she really should have, you are better off without people like that in your life.

@ksta, I really hope you get your sleep study soon it makes me worried and I feel terrible you are not able to sleep.

The baby is still on the inside and he moved back up so I am thinking he will stay put for awhile. We stained one side of the fence. We changed the oil and I guess the guy closed the top on the can and I didn't double check, so we had like a gulf of Mexico to clean up in the driveway.... so irritating but we soaked up a lot of it and then had to take it to the hazmat disposal
