Wow-what a great way to test me. Put a group of "popular" girls in my class, have them want something I asked to do (Room Mom), get denied, freak out! These women were never going to be my friends. But they're a clique-and I totally have my issues with cliques. G is not going to be friends with their kids. So on the one hand, I'm bemused and feel like they're pathetic. (Really-on the email we were addressed as "Room Moms" instead of our names-lololol). On the other hand-I hate when I think people don't like me or are upset with me. I feel bad for J. Because she was friends with them and they're being ridiculous and giving her a hard time. Betrayal! Cover-ups! Friendship! These women need jobs or actual problems if they're going to be upset over this. How insane are they?! What is the adult thing for me to do? I'm going to host this event with J. We are going to come up with sign-up sheets and I'm going to ask the working moms if they want to sign up prior to opening it up to the brunch. And if the clique is upset and doesn't come to my house-awesome! I'm happy to do the parties with the nice moms. I don't feel a big need to walk up to school and hang out anymore. Although maybe G wants me to. If we didn't have this stupid street with no crosswalk and the insane drivers, I would completely let him walk home alone too. Maybe I'll just hang out in front and help cross the street. That would work. I have plenty of other stuff going on in my life. HIS elementary school is not MY life.
