What exactly does...

"after 4pm would suit me better for you to stop by" mean to you???

Well this is what I was told when arranging to stop past a ladies place this afternoon to collect some 2nd hand clothes I had purchased from her.  I had told her I was going to the hairdressers at 1pm, and would finish probably between 3.00 & 3.30 and that I could stop past either before or after I collected Rat_girl from kindy, and that I normally pick her up at 4pm.  She said "after 4pm would suit me better".

So I finished my hair apt about 3.20, I went to the corner store, I fueled the car (just wasting time basically) and then I collected Rat_girl, I signed her out at 3.55, spoke to her teacher for a little bit, loaded the kids and the car and went to collect my clothes.

I arrived at her house by I think 4.13 according to the clock on my car, I knocked, knocked, knocked and no-one answered (this is the 2nd time this has happened now, last time she said she was out back and didn't hear me, even though she knew I was coming).  So I checked the letter box incase she left them there, nope nothing.  So I drove home.  I left a message on FB for her to say I came past but there was  no answer.

She responded with "hey, I waited until 4.10 but then we had to leave, my husband wanted to get to Dick Smith before it closed and then we went to the lagoon"

Ummmmmm there is no way if I was picking up Rat_girl at 4pm I could have got there before 4.10 and she said after 4pm.  AFTER 4pm!!!!!  She only waited 10mins and then just left.

Now is it just me or is that just strange.  Honestly I'm very much over today, an probably over reacting and taking my mood out on the wrong person, this lady is a very lovely person afterall, it was probably a misunderstanding but just typical of everything else that is happening....don't even get me started on 'diva' Rat_girl and our bed time struggle tonight, not to mention her shocking behaviour at kindy and home today.  I'm quite upset!  But too mentally and emotionall exhausted to talk about it.  Perhaps later, or perhaps tomorrow.
