can't swing a chicken

merrily, merrily

It seems that i can't leave the house these days without really pissing someone off. Everybody is mad at me.

Except parker and eliza. Eliza has declared herself the organizer of spring. Every morning after tristan and toby head off to school she comes up with our plan for the day. Three days this week the order of the day was a park at a local river complete with suspension bridge and frogs. Lots of frogs. One morning we made the mistake of taking the dogs who scared every little frog away to froggy hiding places. Today though the frogs were in full spring bloom.

froggy escape

My family is not speaking to me, nice people have sent me nice emails and i've answered them all wrong or not at all, parents at the school are mad at me and they're taking it out on my children and i pulled a muscle in my thigh playing softball last night. I forget about these things as we go about our simple daily adventures. But they are always there too. Weighing me down.

I'm not used to people being angry with me. I'm a nice person, a little odd sure, but gosh darnit people like me. So, if i've managed to piss you off too please forgive me i didn't really mean it.

Hi Jess
Well you haven't pissed me off. As my only constant commenter I think you are great!
Seriously, I know this place and you should try to hang on to the "you" that you know you are. Most of us can't even plese some of the people some of the time. Trying to is a waste of time. Just be you.
Going to bed- and yes, I know I should post more often! You take care.

Haven't pissed me off.

I just want to say hey, I check out your blog now and then (we live on the same island :) I have been in a place similar to this, feeling as though I have started a downward spiral of inadvertantly offending people and in turn offending more and more...it is exhausting. It was last year for me and things have cleared up, I actually have stronger friends because of it. (This may just be a lot of nonsense that doesn't apply to your situation, but I thought any support would be welcome:)
Good luck to you, keep enjoying this lovely weather!

I don't think you have made ME angry at you...
but misery loves company and a couple of my kids are pretty pissed off at me.

Wow - did you actually do something that warrents all these people being mad at you? I can't imagine what!

For the record, even though I don't really know you, I'm not mad at you. :)

You certainly haven't pissed me off. Just remember, only interesting people piss other people off (a boring person pisses no one off).

Adults mad at you, are taking it out on your kids??!! That is horrible! It's shallow on my part but I am cursing those who you go that low with hemerriods and yeast infections.

LB

ACK! that curse came out wrong..serves me right, I guess.It should read-I am cursing those who go that low with...

there should be no "you" in there-sorry

OT, so you held the camera in your right hand and took that picture of your left hand with the frog on it? I can never hold my camera still enough for that kind of thing and I wind up with a blurry mess. Maybe I need a better camera, right?

Back on topic, I think it takes a lot of guts to allow people to be pissed at you. But I'm not one of them who is. Pissed at you, I mean.

Nope. Not pissed with you either. Don't feel too bad. I regularly piss off almost everyone I know. And the world keeps right on turning. Chin up!

How in God's green earth did you manage to catch the frog, hold the frog and shoot the frog? Me, I would have run screaming in the other direction if I had to touch it let alone take it's pic!

I'm not pissed with you either, how could I possibly be?

Yeah, i'm pissed at you! everytime you're in town, you never drop in/call - NO nothing!

You stopped calling me all the time... I get the hint! (now) WHYYY Jess!!! WHY????

Please block "me", so I can stop peeking into your world. (can't help myself) being that I guess we ain't friends no more.

Greatly appreciated.

Boo-hooey!!!

Hey, you haven't done anything to piss me off!? When's it MY turn?! I have so much anger, just ready to take out on someone, just waiting to be unleashed. Or not. Ok. Not. If my mom wasn't here tonight I'd totally drink alone in my basement (again) and send you love messages but since she is, I'll just have to tell you now that you kick ass and for some lame reason all this shit always seems to happen at once. Fricken frick. (trying not to swear)

Not pissed off here, either. Nope. How could I be? Sending a hug your way.

Jen

I'm not pissed at you; I'm INSPIRED by you!

christle

You are inspiring! Just say the word and I can key some cars for you in the parking lot.

... and I'll bust the kneecaps.


I'll give you a hug at blogher, OK?

ugh - sorry you have to deal with this. I have been going through some crappy in-law stuff recently where i was cast as the heavy - i can relate. The frog picture is so awesome, Jess!

not me. not ever. i've been there, and it blows. i'm sorry.

and you can use my family for lovin' whenever you want. you want my mom's number?
