Inconsiderate.

I forgot that earlier in the week, I sort of made plans with one of my friends. I more or less invited her to tag along for something I was already needing to do. Except, as the week went on, I had too much to do, and I was going to put off that errand until next week. But I felt bad. I am constantly putting my friends off for work or the kids, so I decided to rearrange my schedule so I could do it.

I woke up early this morning, squeezing in two hours of work before taking Jill to get her passport. Then I dropped Jill at her friends, and quickly grabbed lunch for Emmi and I. I figured at best, I had another thirty minutes to work before we would leave again. I really had other things I needed to do while Jill was gone. I am hosting a baby shower in a few weeks, and I need to get started on some of the small projects for that. But, no. I wasn't going to cancel. As I sat working, I remembered that I needed to get something for my reunion. Damn. I could be doing that this afternoon. No. No. No. I will not cancel. I just kept thinking about how easy it would be to get some of these things checked off my to-do list while Jill is at the movies with her friend. Shopping with one kid is so much easier than two. But. I couldn't cancel.

Except. She was supposed to be here an hour ago, and she isn't even answering my calls. And now Jill will be home soon. I could have squeezed in one or two of my other, more pressing errands. Instead. I got NOTHING done. Not even this less important trip. Because I sat here fucking waiting. And? This is not the first time she has done this. This happens every time. And you know what? I am not even mad at her. I am mad at myself for being stupid enough to rearrange my schedule.

I would be checking her off my list as "not good at showing up", take care of number one, God knows you have enough on your plate.

Ummmm... Sheri, you probably know. I'll text you. And, I have the whole baby shower planned out. I rock. I should be a party planner.

Tricia said...

Oh...and I just heard of something call a "Baby Sprinkle" for someone who is one baby one bajillion like you! We must do this!

Okay, I looked up what that is. I think that is what my baby shower was. LMAO It is a great idea, though.

I don't really know what to say.. It's been a long day and my feet are killing me.. I am currently eating tuna, carrots, red onions, walnuts and a champagne vinagrette all mixed together.... AT TWO IN THE MORNING... I'm hungry.. leave me alone..

I would scratch her off my list.. That is ridiculous!! Especially since she didn't answer her phone!! Even if you are frightfully busy you CALL!!

XOXO...
