So, I started out with a great weekend. I got a big break with my writing *one of my short stories got published in a newsletter* Then I got to spend Thanksgiving day with my boy. It was good to see him after so long, and I really enjoyed the day.

I had made plans to go shopping with my three best friends on black Friday and I was super excited to go. I barely slept all night before thanksgiving because I was excited. A few hours before we were ready to leave they informed me they wanted to invite my boys girlfriend. The one who's been making my life a misery. They said they feel bad not inviting her because they are friends with her too, since I wasn't driving I didn't really have room to say no, and I don't want to be immature, but it ruined my night.

We haven't left yet and as I post this I really don't want to go anymore. I don't want to see her or hear her brag about how much my kid loves her. I understand that she and I share mutual friends and it's hard for them, but I knew them all first, and they know the stuff she said to me. They say that I should be the adult and just ignore her, but she hurts me so bad. I really don't want to go anymore, but I don't want to seem immature by backing out. I just feel so unimportant.
