So I've been bitten by the blog bug, influenced by my friend. I guess I can always print these off and put them into my actual journal. It's faster to type than write anyway, and I can always save my paper journal for my most personal thoughts.
I do NOT like liars. I try to tell the truth as often as possible. I've been called brutally honest, but after being hurt by lies, I feel that in nearly EVERY case, honesty is the best policy I think that at 22 years old, I shouldn't have to lie about anything. So, in most cases, I don't. I'd rather blatantly not answer a question to the point where the asker knows that they're being denied a response and further questioning will result in the truth, an answer they probably don't want to hear.
So, anyway, my best friend puts me in a HORRIBLE predicament a few mins ago. She calls to say "I told my mom you're watching my daughter." I said "okay" after finding out that she took the baby to her cousin's house to be watched while my friend worked. (Her mom really dislikes this cousin.) Then we ended the convo. Now I've watched my god baby before and never has her mother called me to check in. Today, though, she calls me. I felt that it could be her so I checked my cell before I answered my best friend's ringtone, and, sure enough, it was her house phone, not her cell. So I didn't answer. I called my friend's cell right back because I was under the impression that she was at work. She hands the phone to her mother while I'm in the middle of saying "I don't want to talk to her, I'm not going to lie." I HATE being put in that position. GRRRRR. She used to make me lie to her job so she could leave early, before I flat out told her to get someone else to do it because I hate lying. So her mother was quiet, listening for me to say where the baby was, and she says, "Hey, what's my grandbaby doin?" I contemplated lying and just couldn't do it. I said, "You know what, I honestly do not know. I couldn't even tell you." So my friends' mother starts questioning her and they get in a huge argument. A few mins later, she calls me saying "I wish you had just f*in lied! She trying to kick me out!" I guess it's her mother's way of being controlling, and of course it's wrong, but I feel horrible!
I guess I wish I had lied too. Or I wish my friend would have been able to just stand up to her mom and say "She's with my cousin. I know you don't like her, but you won't watch the baby while I work, so I'm doing what I have to do."
I think that a lot of times people should do things which seem so easy to me, and conversely, people often find it so easy to do things that really eat away at my insides (like lying). IDK. I'm gonna pray about the situation. It gave me a pretty detailed first blog, though... :-(
