Self Control- FAIL

Major Fail!

Dot has insanely irritable skin during the winter. I called Pongo the morning he was to pick the children up from daycare and told him that her skin had been irritated recently. If I had been looking at him I would have seen a blank stare on his face as I explained that the oatmeal bath really helps her. Finally he told me since I know what she needs I could just pick some up at the store and drop it off to him. Ooookay. So on my way to lunch with a few of the ladies from the office we stopped at the drug store and then swung by his office to drop it off. He came out and grabbed it and we were on our way. I got a call about 20 minutes later and he wanted to talk. I told him I was at lunch and he asked that I call him back when I didn’t have people around because he had some questions for me. Back in the safety of my cubical walls I gave him a call. He really didn’t have much to say. He asked again what exactly he needed to do for Dot and I told him. Then he asked about a friend of mine who is separating from her husband (whom for the purpose of this post shall be known as Sam and Sally, original I know). He had gone out for drinks with her husband and just wondered what I knew. Long of the short, they’re not happy. That was about the extent of my knowledge of the issue. I could tell that didn’t satisfy him though as if he thought I knew much more. He still managed to end the conversation by telling me he’d like to get together and go out sometime. But my lack of enthusiastic response also did not make him so happy. Once we got off the phone I waited. Several hours later it came. AND! My self control failed me and I took the bait. But if nothing else I did get a few laughs out of the whole thing when it was all said and done.

Pongo 3:47pm: Hopefully you are trying to keep them from doing what you did to our marriage, but I also know misery loves company so who knows with you. None the less I have noticed you are acting secretly again so that’s god to know but you expect me to trust you and of course its funny when I tell people of what happened to us they go that’s funny we heard other stuff but not that so your little scherade is coming to a end. Now my real family that ones that didn’t just jump and run are having a family dinner in other city so I will call when we are done on Sunday goodbye and if *explicit* boyfriend is the reason you aren’t telling me anything maybe I need to have a chat with him. Just tired of the bs!

Just Me:) 3:54pm: Well I talked to Sally a little bit ago and Sam decided last night to move out and I guess changed his FB status to single which is how their girls found out. I think you are paranoid bc I have continued to say nothing but good things about you to the few people I talk to about it. I continue to tell people that I do not hate you and will not hate you but rather things did not work out. I am not acting secretly. I would have to have something to hide to have a secret. I hope you and the kids have a good time with the fam.

Pongo 4:09pm: Nice answer I see boyfriend didn’t make your prerecorded message that’s fine and btw that’s not the story I am getting. Karma-love it.

Just Me:) 4:12pm: I have no idea what you’re talking about so u might want to check the credibility of your information sources…and how is it that 2 hours ago when I talked to you, you wanted to get together and now you’re chewing my ass?

Pongo 4:31pm: Why is it 2 hours ago everything was a secret? Whatever Just Me:) I as usual was trying to be nice and as usually it was a mistake. Yes in many ways I would like to try to understand but I only get half the story usually and today D BAG boyfriend as usual is a issue to it sounds like so when you want to come over and be a part of a real family let me know until then goodbye.

Just Me:) 4:41pm: Again, I have no idea what secrets you’re talking about. Care to clue me in?

Pongo 4:58pm: I am done talking about it one day you will figure it out

Just Me:) 5:02pm: That tells me what I need to know.

Pongo 5:90pm: ? Wth are ya saying ? Ya lost me

Pongo 5:18pm: And if I was chewing ur ass you would know it-I gave you a option and you chose to ignore it. So know I know have fun withyour new life gotta run dinner to make

Pongo 5:45pm: Was my assessment wrong or hes there now so you cant talk?

Just Me:) 5:47pm: No. I didn’t have anything to say. I asked what you were talking about and you didn’t answer.

Pongo 5:51pm: Answered twice ?

Just Me:) 5:52pm: I don’t know what secrets you’re talking about so unless you tell me what you’re talking about I don’t know what to tell you.

Pongo 6:01pm: I think there more to know about what up with you right now also II think ya knew more then ya told me just because you thought I would tell Sam but I have come to see and know when you seem like you don’t want me aroubd or aren’t filling me in thats the secrets. As for my friends yes they comment on you and dbag but I dont so I say nothing and usually say that’s the past and no one cares. And my feelings here haven’t changed

Just Me:) 6:07pm: Well there’s nothing more with me. You know all there is to know. As for Sally and Sam, I knew they weren’t happy. I knew things weren’t looking good. I have a feeling you might have known more than me but I’m okay with that. I text Sally later this afternoon like I told you I was going to do and found out that Sam decided, last night, to move out. That is the extent of it. I don’t have anything to hide from anyone. I go to work, I take care of the kids, I shower and pee like everyone else. Lately, I study my ass off and I spend time with Boyfriend and my friends when I can. But you know all of this.

Pongo 6:22pm: Good 4 u then bye
