Bitter, with a side of sour grapes

August 4th, 2010

So, yeah. BlogHer. BlogfuckingHer. Can you tell I’m still bitter about not going? I’ve got this whole “poor me!” attitude going on which has been exacerbated by some very rough days and nights with Sam.

I’ve decided to take a blog and twitter vacay for the rest of the week. I’m afraid that reading the SQUEE! posts and tweets will give me an excuse to feel worse and get even more bitter.

I’d love to be the bigger person and be super happy for my friends that are going, but all I can think of is how I’m NOT going and I’m going to be STUCK with this kid that refuses to sleep or be separated from me for 30 seconds and how utterly beat-down sleep problems make me feel.

I’m not proud of this attitude. I hope I’ll get over it posthaste.

    I’m bummed about not going too. I didn’t think I wanted to, but now that it’s upon us, I really wish I was going to be there…

    We’re totally going next year. Deal?

    Hahaha – let it all out! Sometimes, it is okay to just be freaking disappointed, without reservation or apology. Thinking about ya!

    I’ve decided that I’m going next year NO MATTER WHAT. That’s how I’m making myself feel better. And I can’t seem to stop reading all of the Twitter updates and blog posts, no matter how annoyed I get.

    I totally haven’t been on Twitter since Baby came home in June. And I constantly wonder what hijinks are happening without my knowledge.

    Maybe you could change your tactics and think: BlogHer is for suckas.

    That is, until you go next year.
