Journal Entry for October 21, 2007 Mood

Sunday, October 21, 2007

I made such a fool of myself yesterday. There I was holding my son, with my daughter and husband beside me ordering lunch, when an "innocent" comment had me on the brink of tears at a fast food restaurant. (Granted I have been very emotional lately, which probably explains a lot.) The person at the counter made the observation that "Wow, that's a pretty big age difference between the two of them", refering to my children. I felt like I had been punched in the face, and stood stunned. Everything came rushing back to me. I managed to mumble something about my son being long awaited, and walked very quickly to the rest room. Where I cried over the sink for 5 minutes.

I wanted to be mad, to think of him (the waiter) as an idiot, it would have been easier, but I couldn't. He had know idea, he was just making conversation. Even my husband had a little bit of a reaction, flinched a bit when we talked about it afterward. Just when you start to feel a bit better ...

What can ya do? Things are going to happen like that. Happens to me all the time. The good thing is that you were able to remove yourself and break down elsewhere rather than right then and there and making a scene. I sometimes forget the removing part and make a scene. lol But really, what can you do? You're not a fool for feeling that way, it's just how it goes. If you're a fool then so are all of us!
