What is a person to do????

Seriously, I think I have been erked today like I have never been erked before. I am usually one that can take and take and take, and just blow people off. Okay so you are probably are wondering what happened. Well it all started yesterday/ lastnight at work. This youth group from one of local churches came in. I had just spent 30 minutes straightning boutique well they went back there like they do every other sunday night and messed it up. Whatever, annoying as all get out, but really no big deal I just have to restraighten. Well, the youth pastor's wife is at the counter. And she asks me how long I have lived in this town, I tell her since the end of April/begining of May. She then says, "So your husband is one of the Rookies right?" I said yea, I guess you can call him a rookie? She says ya, I know who your husband is, he is the one that had an affair on you and now has a baby by another woman in town." I said no, my husband has only been working here since April. She then tells me I don't have to hide it, that everyone in the "elite circle" knows about it. I said, no I think you have him confused and as far as I know the other 3 people that were hired at the same time with him. One is married and has lived here all of his life, the other two are single parent fathers. None of them have babies. She then says well if you feel the need to keep lying to yourself, you go ahead, but the whole town is going to find out about it sooner or later. So I tell her when her movies are due back, (keep in mind there is a line of people behind her and of course they are listening) whatever! I am actually laughing about this woman and so is the girl I am working with. So, it really isn't until this morning when I was telling Shawn about it that I really got irrated, just because I could remember the way she acted about everything.

Okay first of all my thing is a youth pastor's wife~ with the youth group standing there listening and you are talking about this???? I know everyone makes mistakes but come on!!! Set an example!!!!

Secondly, after I said it is not him, don't just keep accusing me of playing dumb and my husband of something that he wouldn't do.

Thirdly, how does one get pregnant in March and end up with a 2 month old in August... it just doesn't add up....

Okay, so I go to work tonight, and about an hour until closing she comes in to return the movies she brought back. The girl at the counter asks her if she would like her to check them in. She says no. I am walking up to the front and she asks me to check in her movies. The other girl I was working with kind of looked at me funny. So I am checking her movies in and she says so did you tell your husband that everyone in this town practically knows about his affair and his child. I said, no you have him mixed up with someone else as far as I know, no one on his shift or at the PD has recently had an affair on their wife. She then tells me that denial is not good for a person because it causes more pain later on in life. (Okay my irration level is going up and up at this point) I then said you can believe what you want to believe but the truth is, is that you don't know me or my husband. Then I asked her if there was anything I could help her with. She says well I just want you to know that my husband and I council couples and try to help them with their marriage problems, here is our card. (Irratation/anger at extreme level, about to explode) I took the card and ripped it up and threw it in the trashcan right in front of her. Then I said excuse me I have work to do. She followed me while I was putting rentasl up and she says can I say a prayer of peace for you. (can you see the smoke coming out of my ears???) I said do whatever you feel the need to do, but while your praying why don't you say a prayer for yourself! I then went straight to the bathroom. She actually left another card with the girl I was working with and asked her to invite me to that church on sunday. I think my coworker knew I pissed and I said please don't tell me you believe any of that, and she said that she hadn't heard anything like that and she doesn't see Shawn doing that. I said I KNOW for a fact that Shawn is not doing that.

I seriously feel like calling the senior pastor of this church. You dont get church members by going and running your mouth about something when in fact it is nothing but lies. When I came home Shawn knew I was mad. I think he was mad because this lady showed up like 10 minutes after he left, but it was probably good that he did leave. I wonder if this lady would have accused Shawn to his face. I wouldn't doubt it just because she kept telling me I was in denial.

But seriously who does that???? I know this town isn't like this. For the most part this town has been nothing but nice to Shawn and I. I have heard some town gossip but it is mainly about a persons business closing or not closing. I mean I hear stuff from Shawn, but never any names, or anything like that.

I guess I just feel like me, shawn, and our marriage was attacked! Normally I can blow these things off, but maybe it is the fact that she is a pastors wife. What is she trying to do build up the number of couples she coucils, by trying to start something that has no truth to it at all. I seriously don't know whether to drop it. I just have a feeling that she will keep going in the store just to see if I am working.

Anyway, we really didn't do much this weekend, except work and sleep. Shawn and I went to Amarillo to get his books and canyon to get my books. His online classes started today. I am actually excited to start school next Monday. Anyway, my head is hurting, probably due to the rise in bloodpreasure. I don't think I have ever had a problem with my blood preasure being high, but I am pretty sure it got to that point tonight. God has blessed us with lots of rain! It has been so nice!

I hope everyone has a peaceful week!

Toodles~
