SAHM I am, Damn it!

Yesterday I got an e-mail from an old and dear friend, the Laverne to my Shirley...and I have to say, I felt a bit insulted by her tone.

To set the stage, I e-mailed her to tell her about our Thanksgiving weekend, and said that it was probably good we didn't get together while I was up in Erie, as I was so tired the whole time. I then told her what's been going on, how I've got all my shopping and Christmas cards done. I closed by inviting her and hers down over the kids' Christmas break.

To which she replied: "Christmas in OH?...Hell no!!!"

(Don't hold back or anything.)

Then she tells me she expects a handmande Christmas card from me, since I have so much time on my hands. She went on about other stuff, but in the interest of privacy I won't go into it.

But DAMN IT. She works....but I don't? I have so much time on my hands? Really, and not like I have to defend myself to you all, but this here blog thing is my only diversion these days; the only "conversation" I have with anyone other than my kids.

I'm not going to sit here and defend myself to anyone. I made the choice to stay home, I'm doing what I feel to be the right thing for my family.

But still, my friend making the comments that she made pissed me off.
