Oblivious

Oblivious: unaware, ignorant, blind, careless, unthinking, unmindful, just STUPID!!!!!!
I was trying to be in a better mood. I was gonna be happy and sleep well. I have been venting, that is freeing. I really was feeling better.
THEN I get the most brainless and insensitive phone call right before I was going to bed.
"Mindy, how much do you need to relax? I have a proposition for you. What are you doing Saturday night?" Okay, when my oh so OBLIVIOUS friend starts out the conversation like that, I know that someone is gonna get an earful. And on Saturday nights, ALL nights, I am with my kids. "This is a great idea. It is beneficial for us both." She has no clue what would be beneficial for me. I take care of my kids (one is delayed), pay my bills, I go to school..... A break, a nap, a little help (and a million dollars) would be of great benefit for me and my family. I was expecting something stupid, but seriously: " Get Phillip (my husband) to watch the boys. I need to go out for a girls night and need someone to come watch my kid. Your husband owes me. You don't have to watch your kids. You can relax at my house. You don't have to watch my kid, it will be late." Now I am trying to make sense of this STILL. She wants me to go stay at her house and watch her kid because I will get a break from my kids. She says she never goes out, but the reason no one else will watch her sweet little boy is because every weekend and sometimes in the week- she goes out. I rarely go anywhere without the boys, and it is frustrating, but I am a mommy. (Plus Conner is a handful, even phillip can only watch him so long. Only I can calm him). She has already told me that she just does not believe she can watch my kids because of Conner's issues (which she has no time to listen to), so It would be relaxing to watch her kid while she goes out. I have more on my plate than I would like, and a million things I would rather do if I had free time (like sleep, clean, read a book, or take a hot loooong bath) than watch her kid. she won't bring him here because he can't sleep anywhere else, but she still needs my help. IDIOT!!!!
