Unreasonable anger...

[forgivenservant]

I'm feeling really angry at a friend right now because she called right after I put Asher down for nap, and of course since he wasn't all the way out, that woke him up, and he's not sleeping. Especially with all the struggles of the last few days for sleep, I'm really pissed off. And it really irked me that I said I couldn't talk for at least another half hour and she keeps going with "ok, it's just that I still haven't heard back from you..." She left her message YESTERDAY afternoon. Excuse me for not always being able to be on the phone. Especially since I don't have the cell phone (Nate does) or money for long distance. And I didn't get through her message yesterday, because frankly, I pushed stop after "I haven't heard from you in a really long time" in an annoyed voice. Ok, I called 5 times last week, no return call. I didn't leave messages - the whole no longe distance thing - but she has caller ID. And has she been calling me? No. Nate says she hasn't on the cell phone, and she certainly hasn't left any messages here. Nor has she wrote me on facebook (which has SAID I'm a single mom for the last two weeks and will be busy). Why am I the bad guy for not calling (which I did)?

I'm feeling really ashamed for feeling so angry. It's not like she knew what a bad time it was to call. It's not her business to memorize my schedule. And why am I angry that she likes me enough to miss talking to me? What's WRONG with me??? Am I the only one who gets mad at people when it's not their fault, and they may even be doing something good? I feel like scum. Some friend I am.

And my head hurts. But I think I'll stop complaining now.

There is nothing wrong with you!  you are a mom with 2 little ones who needs to focus on taking care of their needs, not hers.  it is annoying that she would not be more understanding now that you are taking care of 2! She needs to chill!
