I'm just curious how y'all would handle this.
My bff is turning 30 next weekend. She lives in Atlanta, I'm in Augusta. We decided that I would come up w/ my girls and stay at her house and that she'd just line up a sitter and we'd hit the town w/ a bunch of other friends. Well, I found out the other day that Emma's going to have 2 soccer games that Saturday (11:00 and 3:45) AND her choir is singing in church at the 9:00 and 11:00 service. They have a spring musical that night at 5:00 but I didn't know about singing at church in the morning til Tuesday, the same day I found out about the soccer games.
Chances are I could maybe finagle a way to let Emma spend the weekend w/ my parents. I'm not sure how much DH will be around because it's playoff season for High School soccer and we don't know his schedule yet. Best case scenario he could take her to the 3:45 game and Tess and I could head to Atlanta after the 11:00 game. Then Emma would spend the night at my parents house Saturday night and my mom would take her to church for the 9:00 and 11:00 performances and I'd be back in town for the musical at 5:00.
I've already told my friend that I'm probably not going to be able to make it. She's not mad, disappointed of course, but she has 2 younger kids so she understands. But I still feel torn. I mean, missing 1 whole soccer game and 2 choir performances seems like a big deal to me. But I never miss her stuff. I would still make it to one game and the big musical. And, I know my friend wants me to be there.
So what would you do? Oh and fwiw, Augusta to Atlanta is about a 2 hour drive.

Good grief! And I thought I was over-booked as a kid!
I wouldn't feel that guilty about missing the game and the choir performances. Mom needs mom time. You'll still be at one game and the spring spectacular will probably be bigger than the Sunday a.m. events. In the grand scheme of things, it's just a 24-hour period.
I would go be there for your friend.
I never miss anything either. I probably wouldn't go especially with a spring musical (is that something they have been working on for a long time) is this with the church part of the choir thing? I am sorry I hate that, but it sounds like you have a good friend that would understand. You can make a date with her the next weekend.
Update to my response!
Oh the musical thing is on Sunday. That is the thing I would be most worried about missing. I would go if your parents can help out!!!! She will have plenty of soccor games!!!!!
Life happens. I miss out on adult "stuff" constantly in favor of kid "stuff" even if its just to spend Saturday watching my kid play in the yard.
I remember being disappointed when my Mom or Dad couldn't come to something and I really didn't care what the reason was.
And on the other hand, my bff who is single just got a new bf (or whatever you call male companions now that we are 30). Well, we had plans to go to an event with my JL this weekend plus I had asked her to go shopping with me in Dawsonville after and made all the arrangements to have DH watch P all day long so we could have some desperately needed gf time. She canceled to go to a wedding in SSI with her new squeeze. Can't say as how I blame her but I am still kinda disappointed. But I will get over it. So will your friend.

Tough call, I hate when everything is happening at the same time! Since you can make one game on Saturday morning, and the musical on Sunday evening, I'd probably try to go and be with my friend for the evening if I could...but I wouldn't blame you one bit if you decided to stay home and schedule something else with your friend to celebrate (assuming it's not impossible to find times that coordinate between you two...if this weekend is as good as it gets, I'd go now). Have fun this weekend!
Word. Tritto for me.
