Two times within the last 3 weeks I have seen a woman at a playspace that I wholly and completely have never met in any other context. She is seemingly friendly, attractive and competent. I see her initiate conversations and quasi interact with strangers within the same space. Both times she stared daggers at me, then aloofly looked away when I looked back. While she was seated, my son toddled up and touched her leg and she ignored him. Coldly. I have stood within a few feet from her and never has she commented, halfsmiled, or otherwise. In short? She really cant stand me. Hates me.
Woooooooot!!!!
Im delighted!!!!
You know, mothering as a SAH is like interviewing every day. You have to talk to people, network, create playdates, build social interactions. All so often I get to know people and I annoy the bejesus out of them.
Or I say something offensive at a party. Or I'm too loud, too opinionated, too something or not something enough. It's heartbreaking when you are navigating territories you have no idea where the landmines are and you cant correct the impression.
Today, I found it wonderfully refreshing to be simply be hated on sight.
For once someone can't stand me that I haven't given good reason to.

How could someone not instantly love you. On sight. I mean, co'mom!
;-)
Be you. Always . . .
