The Power of a Parent

I need to start off this post with a disclaimer, just to let everyone know how very, very much I love my parents. I adore them, I love them and would give my life for them in an instant, but right now, I feel like that little 8 year old girl that constantly gets on my father's nerves.

I feel like hiding and crying and not seeing him for a little while.

How can I be 36 years old and still feel this way right now? How can a time warp happen so suddenly in a matter of a few minutes?

And why is it that I am sitting here crying about it when I should just handle it like an adult and blow it off?

I went there to do some work stuff.... I now have a very small, one day a week job and I have to use their phone line to "transmit" information from this job (we have only cell phones--no land lines in this house).

So, I guess I went there at the wrong time. I got on his nerves and he let me know it. Over and over again.

I was trying to be invisible like I used to do. But their phone line is in the kitchen and they were eating supper......

I'll spare the details, it's just average every day stuff that no one really wants to hear about, but I needed to vent.

The bad part is.... I have to go back in a little while and make sure the transmitting thing worked....
