THAT Woman.

This is a post that I hope most women will be able to relate to. Do you ever notice that in any group of women there's always THAT woman. The one who consistently finds everything offensive, is snobby, and generally just acts like a b*tch?

I'm a part of the local Moms Club chapter and let me tell you, we definitely have THAT woman. Unfortunately, she joined the executive board with me (late - otherwise I wouldn't have joined) and it has just been a nightmare. I can't even breathe without getting a sigh or a snotty remark.

Recently, someone volunteered to take over the newsletter from me. Wonderful, right? Well, to help make the transition easier, I asked that everyone who submits things to the newsletter also CC me for this month. As usual, there weren't any submissions for the around town sections, so I went and looked some things up. I CC'd the ladies responsible for those sections to let them know I had done it. (The deadline has already passed.)

A couple hours later I get a snotty email from THAT woman saying she already turned her stuff in.

I hit reply all and said great, thanks - I didn't see the email, so I didn't know. I refrained from mentioning that she was supposed to CC me too so I know what's going on during the transition time, but whatever.

Deep breaths. 6 more months of being on the board together, then I can say goodbye to ALL of my responsibilities and leave the club. The moms in it just aren't all that nice and we don't go to any events because bringing out 2 kids (3 in April) for an awkward playdate just isn't worth it.
