If you know me at all this probably isn't much of a confession because you'll know this. I DO NOT like confrontation. I hate it. Angry people make me uncomfortable. . . except for you Em. You never make me uncomfortable. Sometimes I laugh at you. . . but I love you and I say go girl. In fact, that's something I don't love about myself. I won't like something. . . for instance many of you have heard me complain about Tim's baseball coaches this year, but have I complained to them... NO! This lady tonight had the same problem that I've had throughtout this team. Her kid only batted once while other kids played the entire game. So she complained and grumpily asked them to explain themselves. Good for her. Crap-ola to me. Still, while she complained I felt my heart race and I felt totally uncomfortable. I have issues. They gave her some lousy piece of crap excuse that wasn't worth a dime and i thought, but what would I say once he said that to me?? That's my problem, I need Emily in my pocket at times or maybe just some guts.

LOL!! Jen I love you for the fact that you are not in peoples face and you don't yell at random people in the store or that you are able to hold back when most people should but don't. But I should say everyone gets that rush of adrenalin (sp I know I butchered it)cause confrontation is not a good thing. But these days some people just need a good dose of chewing out. And that is why I am more than willing to jump in your pocket and yell at anyone that makes you mad or are unfair to your children.
Oh Jen you're too cute. You are so positive and deal with positive emotions and when people get angry that's a negative one. I don't blame you on this one I think it would be hard to confront the coach. I mean we're dealing with your children here and seriously why can't they just be normal people and not have to be talked to. Good luck! I love you just the way you are.
You are confident, and firm in your convictions which is enough. I say don't bother developing the in your face skill, because you won't need it when you get where you are going, because in that place there are no meanermeanerpantses!
I know just how you feel. I hate confration to but I would be good to have around after the fact because I can come up with some really quick smart things I should have said! Although in the moment I really wouldn't say them anyway!
LOL, I am trying to find a good balance of this, good luck to you on finding it too. :)
