What Would You Do?

If someone called your house at 12:36am? What if you knew that this person might be drunk and calling because they want in some way to reconnect with your family because they were once in a relationship with one of your family members and are sad it ended? What if you silenced the phone as quickly as possible and did not answer because you knew that it would probably be a drunk call? What if the call woke your baby and you spent the next two hours trying to get said baby back to sleep? What if, by then, you only were able to get about two hours of sleep before having to get up and go to work and work all day???

Because at 4am when the alarm went off, I really wanted to call this person and ask what the hell was so important that they needed to call after midnight, not leave a message and wake the freaking baby?????

I am tired.

I am pissed.

I want to block this number.

I am going to start turning my phone off completely at night.

I hadn't been doing that since Gramps came to town, because if there is an emergency, I want to be available, but some jerk calling in the middle of the night to (probably) tell me how much he misses my mother, is not what I had in mind!!

I wonder if she got a midnight phone call. What about Smug-Sister? I should find out before I call him back and blast his ass - just on the outside chance it was about something legitimate.

But, then why not leave a message or call back if it was some kind of emergency??? If it was a mis-dial, also leaving a message apologizing for calling the wrong number would have been nice. Lord, I am so pissed!!

To end this post on a positive note, because I refuse to let assholes get me down!!

This is not how I would have set up this toy display:
