I Know How She Feels.....

Yesterday I was reading Mckmama on facebook and I saw the following conversation...it got me to thinking.  You see I know exactly how she feels....

How do you not defend yourself sometimes?  I battle with this all the time.  I try to turn the other cheek and really this blog was my way to defend myself and speak my mind without being censored.  The problem is now that others are reading,  I know it appears petty at times.  I know people have said "it is obvious you have a problem with Leah and Shell"...yea and I have every right to defend myself considering the lies they have said about me.

At the same time that I am defending myself,  I battle with WHY am I lowering myself to their standard?  Why am I not taking the high road and walking away?  Yesterday when I saw this communication between Mckmama and Elisabeth I knew Mckmama had hit that point of,  enough is enough,  and snarked back!  Good for her,  and actually I think once you stand up to the people who are bullies and are bullying you, they tend  to leave you alone.

I am really trying to not let the trouble makers get under my skin...but sometimes it is hard.  I'm not perfect and I am working on taking the high road.

HERE is the conversation from facebook yesterday:

Elisabeth XXXXXXXXXX Every campground that we've ever been to has had a mail pick-up in the campstore or at the check-in... it looks like they're already stamped, why take a taxi when you're trying to save $$?

MckMama

Why? Just because I like to waste money. :) Teehee. No actually, they are CDs from people's photoshoots I've done for them. For one, I like to make sure they actually get to the post office. But for two, I pay a little extra postage to get ...them hand cancelled. If I put them in a drop box or at a campground office, they will automatically go through the machines. I don't want to risk them getting cracked. Also, I had other errands to do. But thanks for checking in!

ElisabethXXXXXXXXXXXX

Ughh! Why the flippity flop do you have to end a comment like that? "But thanks for checking in!' Seriously, ugghhh, it gets to me! Your answer makes perfect sense, and I totally get wanting the extra precaution of having your packages hand... cancelled, and not wanting to risk damaging CD's through an automatic pre-sorter. I just know that you just talked about cutting costs by line drying clothes, and know how expensive even a short ride in a taxi can be. I probably even would have apologized (GASP) had I not been put off by your sucky attitude!

Isn't it funny how Elisabeth after being the one to be questioning Mckmama comes back like she is the victim of Mckmama and her sucky attitude.  Really what did you think she was going to say....you insult someones judgement and you don't think they are going to be snarky to you.  I have actually always said I don't know how Mckmama has held her tongue with everything that has been said about her and her family...I could have never done it!
