We went to the park yesterday with the moms group that I like the least. I really like some of the women, but it seems like they attend the least, and I really don't like one woman who is almost always there. Spencer was being Spencer. He wanted to swing and sat in the stroller until he realized I was serious about swinging later. Then decided to get out and play. He was social in the sense that he gravitated toward where other kids were playing and was comfortable enough around familiar adults to sit with them (when I was on the other side of the area). He didn't however speak to anyone or acknowledge them when they spoke to him. He just kinda freezes for a moment, like he's trying to figure out how to respond, but by the time he does the moment has passed and responding is not necessary. Anyway the mom that I don't like seemed perplexed and she didn't say 'your kid is weird', but I felt like it was implied. Maybe I'm being hypersensitive, but it's not the first time I've gotten that vibe from her. Rachel had fun anyway.
Tom and Lucy were here last night. Lucy was higher than usual I think. She seemed pretty clear headed when I spoke with her on the phone, but she was saying that Tom was in a very bad mood. So maybe she took another pill before they left. She was just speaking without really conversing and just waiting her her turn to speak again. As usual, she undermines her relationship with with Spencer in regards to listening and responding by asking questions over and over and never expecting a response. Tom wasn't in that bad of a mood, but I didn't really have a chance to talk to him much.
Mike was unnerved by 2 straight seconds of anything even mildly stressful as usual, but he seemed to be handling it well. There was just one moment where he said something like, "I just can't do this anymore." Uh, do what? No one expects anything from you because you can't handle any kind of (perceived) pressure. I didn't say that though, of course. He has said multiple times that Lucy is terrified of me. Well, Lucy is terrified of the possibility of anything unpleasant (hmmm, sounds familiar). She'd rather just avoid the issues. And since I bring them front and center to be dealt with, I'd imagine she is scared of me. Sorry, I'm not going to live in a constant state of avoidance and paste on a fake smile all the time, it doesn't really work.
Got the moms club prez stuff yesterday too. Seems like less and less fun every moment. Oh well, if it sucks I just won't do it again next year. The business meeting is tomorrow. Hopefully that will go well. I finally got a filter set up to pull all the moms club emails to one folder and out of the general inbox. That should make it easier to keep up. Can't wait until we get the yahoo group going so everything is in one place.
So like I said, just a weird few days. Nothing bad, just a lot of blah. I'm down 4 pounds though. That's definitely something good.
