Right now I'm irritated. I am irritated because people cannot "répondez s'il vous plaît."* I have just had to send out a bunch of "can you child please come to my child's birthday party" emails for Sweet Pea's party. As of right now (4 days before the party), I've only heard from 5 out of 12 girls and two of those were no's. I know with the state of the world I shouldn't be this concerned about a birthday party, but I am. First, Sweet Pea will be so upset if she only has three friends at her party. Second, I am bitter because I've bought gifts for all these kids and the least their parents could do is respond to the freaking invitation. Third, if I end up with only 4 kids I'm going to have to think of A LOT more activities to fill three hours, and after planning a Mary Poppins and Disney party that were scrapped, I really don't feel like planning any more.
I've also decided that Mole is just an irritating person and it's not his fault. I have almost perfected the slow backing out of his office without his noticing. In another few days, he'll never know I left.
So, who wants to take bets on how many replies I get tonight after sending out the emails?
*Yes, I did need to Google that. I didn't know that RSVP was French, I thought it was Latin. However, I do know what it means.
Grrrrrrrr-in the time it took me to write that post I got one more no. : (
ReplyDeleteTo keep you up to date, I now have 7 girls coming (including Sweet Pea). In addition to that I have one probably, so hopefully we will have 8 total. This fits my dad's old rule that you should never have more than 1+ your age at your birthday party.
