I am an Ass


Nicola's house was beautiful again this year. Nicola's 3 daughters were there. They were behaving themselves. . The gay daughter's partner had to work, so I said I would be her date for the night. (My gig a low hates parties) FT showed up with her husband and two very blond toddlers. When it was time for the "white elephant" gift exchange I got a box of chocolates. I mostly got the box of chocolates because of the beautiful wrapping that included a Christmas tree ornament. (Even though I don't have a Christmas Tree.)

It was FT's turn. She had her cute little snow white daughter come and get my box of chocolates. I did not care. It seemed to me FT was using snow white as a shield so no one would steal her gifts. Who would steal something from such a cute little girl and break her heart? Even though the chocolates were exactly what Mommy wanted. FT let snow white eat 3 of the candies just to make sure no one would steal the gift from her.

Therefore, it was my turn to get another gift. My friend had bought a blow up santa at the Thrift store for $10.00. So I went and got it. The lady didn't want the blow up santa so all was good.

This is where I lost my mind. I was so happy with the blow up Santa. Geeze, I would have a Christmas decoration to put up outside my house like my neighbors. Peoples where getting gifts and stealing them all around me. I did not care. I was daydreaming about blow up Santa in my yard or on my roof.

Guess what. At the end of the game, FT husband had #1 so he had the final pick. FT and her snow white daughter came and got my blow up Santa. All of a sudden I turned into a crazy woman. This came out of my mouth in an angry tone " You know FT I don't have any Christmas decorations, and now your taking this from me" I was pissed. I was thinking to myself you can go out and buy 20 blow up Santa's. . even worse I was acting just like she did last year. (except I did not have a baby to blame) Not only that I really did not want everyone to know the dismal state of my affairs at home. To late now the cat is out of the bag, I am an ass. FT gave me back the box of chocolates minus the 3 that snow white had eaten.

Nicola's husband said that he would of taken my box of chocolates if he would of known I got them back. I told him he could have them. He asked me if I wanted the PJ pants he got. Yes, it was a great trade for sure. I have them on now. I love them. My date for the night gave me her peach shower gel that she won. She said she did not like the peachy smell. So really I came out ahead.

On the way home I realized how wrong it was of me to want something that bad. I don't even have little kids at home. Never before have I acted that stupid over a gift that was bought at the thrift store. What can I do now? Nothing. Why did I act like that?

Maybe it was because I wrote the blog about FT last year. Paybacks are a mother!

Since we are princess daughters of the most high King, sometimes our tiara's get knocked to the side a bit when we get sassy. I'm sure you'll use this story when you tour with WOF! Lol

I don't blame you a bit.
We all have our breaking point.I have always thought FT was a "Bad Seed" (Like the movie The Bad Seed) I recall reading on the invite no children welcomed. Of course FT thinks that does not apply to her.What have we learned from this- Spoiled children grow up to be spoiled adults.
