[Modoasis] All the world's a stage w/ nada trying to direct it

[Guest guest]

More drama for the drama fanatics here

Today daughter went to a friend's birthday party. Well, guess who

showed up. Nada (no, this is not the usual friend who invites nada to

parties and stuff). Now nada did tee off this girl's mom just about 2

weeks ago, but I guess the woman is hoping all will be well and she

wants to be friends with everyone, so this mom must have invited nada.

Little do these people know it just wants me to distance myself more

from them, too.

Melodramatic stage yesterday. I think I mentioned this yesterday; who

knows, mind is a blur. Daughter and I changed the time we went to

church. Nada showed up at our new time. That's not the worst. Right

after service yesterday nada used that captive audience of people to

say " Any men here who can attach a muffler to a car? Mine needs to be

put on to pass inspection, and my husband left me " to which she

started sounding pitiful and crying. People did NOT know what to

dowith that one overall. I got stuck there while nada grabbed

daughter to say so glad to see her and some woman feeling sorry for

nada trying to help out, thinking nada's car ws broken down. No, it's

just htat nada does not want to have to pay labor to have her muffler

reattached since she has no money from a husband any more. Finally

got out of there then nada approaches my car and blabs on about stuff

and I finally say " I don't want to talk to you now, so can I leave? "

I left.

Today at the party when I was away form daughter, nada told daughter

she is having the whole homeschool group come this weekend to help her

with her yard but one of the homeschool boys is coming to mow her

easment tomorrow. Ok, whatever. Notice she does this to daughter

when I am more than 20 feet away. Could be an overexaggeration, but

see how she is constantly trying to get enmeshed with the whole group

just to PROVE to me that they are on her side (kind of like sticking

her tongue out at me). I hope none of them come to my house. I am

sure nada will usse the opportunity to have one of daughter's friends

ask where she is and attempt to get my daughter over there. Ain't

gonna happen. Also at the party when I was not around nada asks

daughter " What if I have to sell the horses? " Just another attempt

for her to get daughter to beg me to do something so she won't have to

sell them or something. Yet again, whatever.

Geez. Do we have to quit going to parties? Can't even go to church

at a different time and be left alone for crying out loud. The well

intending people are just inadvertently making a bigger mess out of

things. I found a nice chapel daughter and I can go to once or twice

a week 30 miles from here. Daughter will love it. But can't do it

every day b/c of distance, time, and having to pay for parking. I am

just going to be as unpredictable as I can - go to 8 am service one

day, noon service another day, church 30 miles away another day, noon

serivce another, etc , but BOY IS THAT CRAZY to have to do . I even

tried to park so nada would not see my car there. Even that doesnt

work. Nada isn't even looking for a job yet, I don't think. I

wonder if she is thinking maybe dad is going to come back after a week

or so. I think she has that wrong. He's not just using a scare

tactic on her; I guess she thinks he might. She claimed someone

spotted himi in Alabama. Like who? That's the dubmest thing I ever

heard. None of his friends lives in Alabama so who would have

" spotted " him? Maybe they are just trying to throw her off trackk.

Probably.
