Don't Go Hurting My Kid....

There are not many things in this world that makes me more upset than seeing my daughter hurt by some snot nosed brats ( a mother and daughter team to be exact)! My Mama Bear is just flying out... Thankfully, my kid isn't here right now to see me. She is one of those people that has a human barometer on how people feel. She always knows when I am sad - even when I think I am being so good at hiding it.
Well here's the scoop. This week is Easter vacation for my kids. My twelve year old (the victim) was very excited about having her friend Rosalind spend the night. You see Nikki, my kid, is pretty shy when it comes to making friends so a sleep over for her is pretty much a big deal in her book. She cleaned her room, picked out some good movies, had me get the "right" snacks, and picked out the "perfect" outfit to wear. Well Monday it did not happen, Tuesday it did not happen, and today finally the mother calls me and wants her other daughter to come too. Her other daughter is ten years old. She is in my youngest kid's class and my kid cannot stand her. You know the kind of kid who is always yelling, jumping up and down, and can drive a sane person crazy in two minutes...I told the mom that Kara - my youngest kid, just had a friend over for two nights and is really tired and is planning to sleep tonight (very true - I will not tell a lie, even if I wanted too)well...the mom starts hemming and hawing and says she'll call back after she checks to see if Rosalind has other plans.. does that make sense to you???? First off, why would the mother be calling me if Rosalind wasn't free and secondly what twelve year old makes plans without their mom knowing it???
The mom does not call me back...so I called and asked if Rosalind was coming over so I could order pizza for the kids....Oh the mom says, Rosalind is going to her dad's house tonight..I should have called you, she says... I know this to be a big fat lie... My last conversation with this particular mom - she said that the kids' dad never sees them... so all of a sudden the kid is going to her dad's.. I wish that was the case but I could almost guarantee that the mom just wanted her kids out of her hair tonight... As for the reason, I'm mad at the snot nosed kid...she never not once returned my kids phone calls. Rosalind has her own cell phone attached to her ear and texting fingers at all times so not having a phone is not an acceptable excuse. My kid has been hanging on a limb all week, not wanting to leave the house in case this girl calls.. I hate seeing my kid get hurt..okay, Lord , please give me a forgiving heart right now - okay, I am breathing in and out....
