What a day.
After a full day of singing at church and then going to a Christmas Party, it’s 4am and I just got home. Call it Mother Bear syndrome, call me a good friend, call me a meddler, I don’t care, I felt in protection mode tonight with a married male friend. A Jezebel-like woman has been eyeing him for a long time and I wasn’t down with her hanging around making googly-eyes at him until 330am, while his wife was at a friend’s house caring for two little girls while their mom was in the ER. I don’t know what makes me think I really solved anything tonight. She sees him more often than I do and if something is going to happen, then I can’t do anything about it. It just pisses me off to feel like I’m watching the making of an adulterous relationship that could sever the bond between my two friends. In a way, I feel like if the tables were turned, then I’d want a friend of mine to do the same for my husband and our marriage. There are too many skanks just ready to jump on men that have made a commitment to another woman and if I can prevent that from happening, especially to a friend, even if for ONE night. I will.
Maybe my day of singing tomorrow won’t be affected by all of this when I wake up in 3 hours…

I know, seriously. I want to tell all of the Jezzies, “this man already has dibs on him, find your own or go back to your own!”
