conflict

did i create it
this lady butted ahead of me at my place of worship
during a potluck
i asked, "can somebody let me know where the end of the line is?"
then i gently, compassionately, and kindly, asked the lady "are you butting in line"
and she said, "yes"
then when i was getting food she asked, "do you have a kid attending school here"
i just said the standard answer for not giving an answer, "why do you ask"
she said "because this potluck is only for the family members of kids who attend the school"
i told her "i'm shopping around, but, no family member of mine is attending this school"
i told the folks who invited me and "granted permission" for me to attend the potluck
and they explained they got permission
yadda yadda
turns out it was the principal
she made another lady cry over getting carrots
no more drama vote for obama
she sounds like and acts like a bully
everything is from above
which means she allows bullying
this is my opinon not fact
my kid ain't goin' there
my husband is awesome and went to the director
the director butts heads with her too
what can you do
i wish i had enlightenment and coulda not let it phased me
but if i hadn't said something it would have burned me up
did i handle it the best possible way
my husband thought i did
but
i knew that it would reflect on our friends who have two kids there
but
i'm working on not creating conflict
reaction is everything
we have people from ALL around the world in our place of worship
cutting in line in one country might not mean the same thing as the states
but
let's face
rude is rude
i am grateful that i didn't yell and embarass my friend
i am grateful i am alive
i am grateful for my great health
i am grateful for my amazing daughter
i am grateful for my husband
the stars
one radio network
e-mail's
the internet
simplicity
NO DEBT
i am grateful
for gratefulness
