Awkward!

Today the weather was really weird, almost like fall or winter. Right now it's 63 degrees and raining. This morning I woke up at 9:30 then fell back asleep until 11:30. I decided to take my bicycle to the bike shop I bought it from because they do a free "tune up" for the first time, after everything gets broken in. So I dropped it off, went to a Christian bookstore to get a daily devotional book, and then went back and picked it up.

Carmela invited some people over to her house for dinner and I went, then we all went to church. Katey and Erica were there. After church we were talking and I found out that Erica is pregnant. That's a whole other story. They said something though that made me feel very awkward, and I a little annoyed. I had told Erica I could babysit if she ever needed someone (not that I necessarily wanted to, but I thought it was something nice to offer). Apparantly that must be something her and Katey feel strongly about because they told me how it's NEVER a good idea to leave your child with anyone but a relative, because you never know about people and you can't trust them. Basically I felt like I was being told I was not trustworthy enough...and it just felt weird. I wanted to leave because it just felt too strange to even be around them after what they said. I really wasn't even that serious about my offer...I pretty much just said it to be nice...and it was made into such a big deal about how it's "not a good idea". I just felt like saying "Can we just stop talking about it, because I didn't even mean it...I don't want to watch your kid, ok?"

Anyway, that annoyed me because I think I'm one of the more trustworthy people out there personally, and even though those things weren't said to me directly, they were implied and I didn't like that.

Wow, that was kind of mean of them to say. I think you are quite trustworthy. :)
