What in the freaking hell?
So uh, my mom's BFF Christmas just came over without telling me she was doing so and got annoyed I would not let her in. She was supposed to come over last week, but my house is PACKED with crap due to the fact my hubby and I traded rooms with our oldest son (the living room). You couldn't even get to the front door! Much less the kitchen. But I told her my husband was sick (which he is).
So, I said later this week. She called on Tuesday, I said he was still sick. She said "Maybe Friday?" I said I will let you know. She called last night, I didn't see it until late. She called his morning, I didn't answer, as I didn't want to deal with it. We're still organizing everything and the kitchen is still packed with boxes. There is ZERO room for her to visit. And I didn't want to explain all that.
NOR SHOULD I HAVE TO.
This is MY house. I live here. I do not owe a single person an explanation for why they cannot visit. Why it's not a good time. Yes, my mother lives here, too, but I have things going on right now, I can't help that people cannot come over at the moment.
But apparently she called and said she was coming over, something I told her a long time ago she was not allowed to do. I told her she needs permission to visit, as I have a very aggressive dog (to strangers in his house, to us he's not aggressive to us at all and he is trying to like strangers outside of his house and doing quite well with it) and because I need to make sure it's clean. Because, WTF. Who doesn't want to clean up before someone stops by???
Sigh.
So, Christmas (not the holiday) was bored. She's someone who always needs something to do, or else she gets anxious. And she wanted something to do today, apparently, and thought that she could just disobey my house's rules, and just pop over for a visit with my mom. Here are the reasons why that's not allowed:
- My house is not always put together. a) Right now I have a HUGE burn pile built up in the kitchen (we burn our paper and cardboard), b) our dishes aren't done, c) the floor needs a good mopping, and d) THERE ARE FOUR HUGE PLASTIC BINS FILLED WITH STUFF BLOCKING EVERYTHING. Some of those bins are for our garage sale, but most are to figure out where they need to go. I am in the process of organizing and cleaning, I do not need someone, esp. a judgmental asshole who hates messy spaces, coming over and seeing my mess. And yes, she's a judgmental asshole, as she's bitched to me before about having to clean her friend's fridge (she was paid to do it), and she kept talking about how "horribly disgusting it was". I was like, "Why would she need you clean it if it was clean already???!!" What an idiot.
- I have a mean dog. He's actually pretty lovely and lovey and kind and sweet and adorable. But he HATES strangers at his house. He will BITE them. Enough said. She sat there today, saying "I won't catch what your husband has, I can just come through!" while my dog was going NUTS at the door, trying to break it down. I was standing there like "Can you not see how stressful this is for me? Cannot you not hear the rage in my dog's barks? Do you want to come in and have him bite you??" I need to either remove him from my house when she comes over or crate him. Recently, my son has been taking him out on a leash when she comes over to get him used to her. I hate it, but it seems to be working.
- I don't have a doorbell that works, I can't hear her knocking. Today, though, she called my mom's number, which made me run to the door to answer it, because otherwise my mom would try to come out into my room to let her him, even though there is ZERO room for her to, and my mom is not allowed in my room.
- IT'S JUST FUCKING RUDE IF I ALREADY TOLD HER NOT TO DO IT!! And I did tell her not to do it, more than once. And she agreed. Now the crazy woman has a cell phone, so she can call the moment she's on the porch and if I don't answer, she will call our house phone, which rings my mom's room. Next time I will turn off the internet so the phones won't work LOL
