Finally closure

It’s over, it’s done and I am confident (fingers crossed) that we have finally reached closure.

Tonight was our 2nd annual POP TOP Winner party – our cluster collected can tabs for Ronald McDonald House. The top 3 troops that collected the most win a Pizza/Dance Party. My older girls didn’t participate this year so we volunteered to man the concession stand. We’re trying to earn money for finance our Cruise in 2014. Anyway, my former Daisy troop was the winner this year – worries that issues would occur with all of us there were top thoughts in our minds.

What a relief – NO ISSUES. Psycho showed up – she stayed clear of the concession stand forcing her daughter to come up and purchase items. The crazy cookie mom – stayed clear of the concession stand also. I was tired, cranky and more than willing to cause a scene tonight at the smallest provocation. I’m spoiling for a fight, I really am. I happen to turn around when the kitchen door opens and who walks in? The new leader! Michelle is oh so polite with the Hi How ya doing and the new leader is all smiles and talkative. I guess after their bridging ceremony and my “niceness” she thought all was well – well… it was kinda – I’m just still a little hurt but.. doesn’t matter. Anyway, She’s nice, talkative and makes a few comments about not returning next year.Hmm, wonder what that’s about?   About an hour later she shows back up with the excuse of stealing another slice of pizza. She asks to speak to me and then proceeds to ask my forgiveness for her behavior. She tells me she is sorry for the way she treated me, spoke to me and spoke of me. She told me she was sorry for believing and allowing others to influence her judgement of me. (well.. somewhere along those lines). She told me her heart was hurting with how she behaved and asked if I could forgive her. To my amazement there were actual tears in her eyes. So, as everyone who knows me…knows what I did. I said, “THANK YOU” and allowed a small hug. I said, “See? I’m not as bad as THEY say I am”. She smiles and all is well. Obviously she didn’t notice (or care) that I did not say “I forgive you”. I won’t. I don’t forgive and I WON’T forget. Petty, I know but…Anyway – a short while later one of my favorite “moms” comes into the kitchen informs me she heard I got an apology and then informed me that she was asked to try to convince me to come back(by the new leader) !! Sheesh! And I thought it was a heartfelt apology – it was just a way to get me back so she could quit! UGH..

Well, the final laugh is on them – I’ve joined another troop and will be weeding out my favorites to get them to come to my new troop – screw the bitches – they can get a new troop on their own. Am I bitter? Yes…

But.. I got the apology (for what it’s worth) that I was looking for and I’m done.. Chapter done, booked closed.
