Today was a different kind of day. It started off with the typical kind of crazy morning before I dropped Em off at school. She was very excited about getting to have a friend who had never been to our house before over for a bit after school. She had set the whole thing up earlier in the week so it was a done deal and not a last minute thing. I am not a last minute thing kind of person. Em will attest to that. I was waiting in my usual place for Em to come out of school when I noticed her walking to the car alone. When she got to the car she told me that her friend decided to spend time with a different friend that afternoon. She looked so sad. You have to understand, Em doesn't have friends over very often so this was a big deal for her. I guess if they hadn't made plans earlier in the week it wouldn't have made me upset. Em being who she is told her she understood. My guess is that this friend's mom had no idea that her daughter was with this other girl and not Em. Or maybe she did know. The point is that it was just an outright mean thing to do. If I ever found out that Em pulled something like that she'd be in SO much trouble. We had fun anyway. We met Laura and Allison at Cup of Joe and Allison's boyfriend showed up too which made Em's day. After that she spent some time with her Aunt Janet playing Wii Sports and other Wii games. She had a great time. :) Thanks Aunt Janet. We love you!

I am so not a last minute plans mama too! Arie forgets sometimes that I have to haul two little ones around or get two little ones down for naps. I tell her plan ahead! plan ahead! That way I don't get stressed out trying to move everything around! In our house, sometimes Ariella has chores to do after school, so if she gets those done and gets her homework done, she's free to go! You wouldn't believe how hard that is for her sometimes!
ReplyDeleteI hope Ariella wasn't 'the friend' , I know there was a time when they were hoping Arie could go to the cup and she couldnt because she hadn't gotten her one weekend responsibility done yet... and couldn't go anywhere till it was over. I believe the conversation went like this Arie- "i will be done in like 20 minutes" Emma "its been 20 minutes, ready?" Arie "huh?" (looks at the mess she hasn't started to clean up yet!) kids are funny that way!
No, it wasn't Arie. It was another friend that seems to do this to her a lot. I am so glad that Arie has chores to get done too! Sometimes Em thinks she is the only one that has to get her work done before she can do the fun stuff. The only exception is on Thursday afternoon when we have a standing "date" at Cup of Joe with her older sister's. :)
