Thank Goddess it is Friday!Today was a busy hot day. Drained the grass infested swimming pool and used the water to water the plants with. Hubby and I had an inside joke about it not raining until we over-water the plants now it will rain all weekend. Little Fawn has spent almost every day in her swimming pool so far. Lead dog is begging me to get him a swimming pool as well. He looks at her in dreamy abandon. He loves to swim more than any dog I have ever had before.
Anyway, I stayed up late last night printing out school stuff for this week. I want her to brush up on all of her stuff before she goes to get tested.
While I was out working in the yard in my flowers Miss Cookie from the Daycare next door came to the fence and right in front of everyone yells "So Eva when are you due?" So I said "Whaaah?"
So she says again even more loudly "When are you expecting?" So I say back "Expecting what?" and she blurbs out "Well, you've gained so much weight I thought you were going to have a baby, if your not careful you'll be as fat as I am before too long!" So I yell back "The only thing I am expecting is a big mac and a chocolate bar!"
"Huhhh????" I'm fat? Where? When? How?
I have weighed 135lbs for almost ten years now and I look fat -or-or-or- pregnant? Oh God I'm fat! I came in the greenhouse almost in tears when hubby asked what they've said I told him and he said that she had a lot of nerve saying about me considering that she weighs almost 400lbs.
Sometimes she doesn't realize that she is insulting, or maybe she does and she just shows it in a different way than most. Somebody like my mom now when she says something she means it to be mean but talking in hidden layers beneath niceness confuses and angers me just as much as if really being slapped in the face..
I don't know diary, if a skinny woman like me gains even ten pounds she becomes obese yet nobody says to a fat woman, "Gee you're looking even fatter today fatty but I can't tell from all those extra rolls you've got going on there!" Garrrr!
Sorry to make this sound pissy,
