I need to vent today. I'm trying to not let it piss me off....but, I am upset with a few people over DJ's birthday. One friend- never rsvp'd. So, in texting her the other week over something else, I asked if we'd see her for DJ's party. No reply. Then, I emailed her husband a week later to ask if they got the cd-rom and were able to view it ok, and would they be coming? He said he had plans, but she might be able to, although she has family in from out of town- but to call her. So, I called her and left a message and said I completely understand if she won't be able to make it, but to just let me know as I was buying food and supplies that weekend. That was last weekend, ONE week before the party. At this point, I bought food assuming she'd be there, and her daughter a goodie bag. No reply STILL. WTF. It's just upsetting that she can't even text me to say she can or can't come. Well, at this point I assume she can't. I mean, if she can't even find the time to text me, what makes me think the time to be there? It just amazes me though because she's planned parties, a wedding, she knows how it can be. You know? And not even the courtesy to return my call? I'm really so pissed at this point after it being a week after I called her, that I won't call her again or her hubby till they contact me. It might seem petty, but I'm tired of feeling like I'm always the one to make the effort with some people.
Another person, family, did not rsvp either. Dave had to call her. And that upsets me too, because we used to talk and hang out all the time, but now she's having a rough time with her relationship and her living situation, and she's crawled into a hole. I feel for her, regardless that she has no one to blame but herself. Anyway, we've tried to help her again and again...and well, it just upsets me that she's going to let her petty stuff get in the way of DJ's special day. I mean, we've been to every one of her son's birthday parties etc. and she can't even muster up a little excitement? Or, even just the minute it would take to call and say if she's coming or not? She told Dave she's coming, but I don't know. I am not holding my breath.
You know, DJ won't know the difference now, but in five years, he WILL. He'll notice a family member who is not around, and it pisses me off, for HIM. Not for me. Honestly, we had to cut the guest list. We couldn't invite our aunts and uncles and cousins. Now, I feel like I should have cut a few friends out instead! Or even, we had a few friends we didn't invite, who may have liked to come, but we didn't have the room. It's not really so bad that it will be about 25ppl and not 30, 30 is a lot...but it also would have been nice to know in time for me to have bought food, supplies etc. Although, of course I bought stuff early, with a 1 year old you've got to pace yourself! I don't know. I know I always bitch about this stuff, it's the same old sh*t, I shouldn't be surprised. I just wanted to vent.
I know Saturday it won't matter who's not there, it will be who IS there. DJ's one and that's all that matters.
