Utterfly Aggravated

ARGH I'm so utterly aggravated! We do alot of camping every summer. Many of our family members do. We reserved the best spot for out family already. It's away from any roads, it's directly behind the playground and near where the rest of my family camps without having to cross any roads. Now, when you have a 4 year old and a 2 year old this is THE perfect spot! Well, get a call tonight that the host (who is the one who promised us this spot) told her daughter she could have it. Now this daughter's camper sat there all last summer and was seldom used. I mean like less than half a dozen times whereas we spent about 3/4 of the summer there. So I call the daughter back and try to reason with her and point out to her there are other spots that would work fine for her. When I told her why I wanted that spot she said she wanted her for her son for the same reason. He is like SEVEN or so. They can still camp in another spot that doesn't require him crossing any roads. He would have to walk back behind their camper and go out of his way (I know I know he's 7 "out of his way" is generally debatable) to get into the road. For him to visit the host or the campground he'd just have to walk a few yards from this other spot. So then she admits she wants that spot for the shade. Well HELLO! The spot I want is NOT shady during the day just late afternoon evening. The other spot I suggested to her is shady during the day and the sun shines on the BACKSIDE of the camper in the afternoon/evening. What a bunch of bull. So much for people looking out for each other. So much for family taking care of each other. Just totally blows my mind that people would do that to each other. Say one thing then just do the complete opposite without so much as a sincere apology. But then again this person hasn't been happy with much anytime I've seen her. She's always pissed off at the world. What a way to live life.

Actually now I feel better. I don't feel better at her expense. I mean, I'm not happy that she's so unhappy with life. I'm happy because thinking about how unhappy she is makes me realize how lucky I am to be this happy with my life overall. Some people might tick me off, but it'll pass. I'll forget about it and go on being happy. I already found a really interesting campground not too far away nor expensive. Close to dh's work, close to my in laws and close to where my mom spends a lot of time in the summer. There are tons of activities and it just looks like a really great place to spend the summer. It's kind of far from my best friend's house but I couldn't find anything in our home area and still be close to dh's work. I figure I'll spend like 3 days a week at home to sew and take care of business and spend fri-mon/tues at the campground. I'm feeling even MORE better now. I think it'll work. If something changes at the closer to my house campground then maybe we'll spend the last part of summer there or something but for now I think it's going to be a very enjoyable summer!
