UPDATED: Uh OH! NPR...how does one dig themselves out of this hole?
One of my friend's kinda makes me feel a bit guilty for not being a SAHM like she is, and I wanted to vent about it a little...
So I wrote an email to send to my husband, very short, nothing really bad, but just complaining how she doesn't understand and shouldn't make me feel guilty
and I sent it to her by accident!    
UPDATE:
I called her, and she was like oh hey what's up, and I said, Did you get my email? She said, yeah...what's up w/that?
I was like, I'm sorry, I was venting and not even sure if I was going to send it to X, but sent it to you by accident...I am just venting about not spending enough time w/X as I'd like to (which IS true)...
she was like....oh don't worry, I'm sorry if I made you feel like that, its fine it's fine
And then I said I'm sorry again, and to just ignore it, I made a mistake...
Either she really is fine w/it and won't forget this OR she is just saying that and is pizzed off
I guess only time will tell
 
One good thing is she is packing for a vaca they're leaving for tomorrow and is running around doing errands w/DS...so maybe it'll just blow over more easily than if she was at home

Re: Uh OH! NPR...how does one dig themselves out of this hole?
Oh boy.
I'd probably never say anything to her and just pretend I didn't even realize and see if she brings it up.
Maybe it'll open her eyes to how she is making you feel.

Re: Uh OH! NPR...how does one dig themselves out of this hole?
I say good. Now it is out in the open and you can have an honest conversation about it - if she is a "real" friend. No need to dig yourself out of anything. You were expressing your feelings. Just be honest and say that the e-mail was meant for your DH, but now that she saw it, that is how she makes you feel

send another email right away apologizing & explain that you meant to send it to dh to blow off some steam. You can also say: I really should have said something to you anyway & I guess here's my chance!

Re: Uh OH! NPR...how does one dig themselves out of this hole?
I freaked and sent two emails after that saying...
Sorry I was just venting and I guess I feel a little guilty about not spending as much time w/my DD as I'd like
and then another saying
Sorry, I didn't mean anything negative, just venting...maybe it didn't come across the right way in an email
I'm such an idiot!
I can't recall it...and I know she checks her iPhone all the time, so I'm SURE she already read it...
The ONLY positive thing is she's very laid back and maybe will roll her eyes at it..I'm hoping

At least it wasn't too bad and now you can have an open conversation about it

I can see wanting to make sure it wasn't taken completely wrong, but don't fall all over yourself trying to apologize. Is the girl calling you to apologize for how she makes you feel?

But is that true?
I mean if you aren't a SAHM & you're ok with that, be ok with it & tell her.
I don't think you need to soften what you said about being frustrated - she should know her words are hurtful.
If there is a little truth in it, then at least now you see where your frustration is coming from.
Either way - SAHM/WM - it's can be a winning situation.

Glad you spoke with her.
Maybe treking DS around as she's packing, she'll be envious of you running errands on your lunch hour.
