Ugh! Why can't I say no?

I just joined the local MOMS group and attended my first playgroup a couple of weeks ago.  At that meeting, the coordinator asked me if I wouldn't mind hosting a playgroup on the 20th (Tuesday).  I told her if no one else volunteered then I would do it.  I was out of town all last week, just getting back last night.  Apparently one person agreed and then backed out, so it's back to me hosting.  My house is still in the process of getting unpacked Embarrassed and it's in no way ready to host a play group here so I have to figure out an off site place to meet.  Since I'm new to the area, I haven't been to any of the places that the coordinator suggested.  I hate to just pick something sight unseen, but that's what I guess it's going to have to be. 

Oh, I wish I hadn't agreed to this!

  • Wow, I can't believe they asked you so quickly.  That seems over the top to me.  I am sure you will rock it though!

    Thanks for your vote of confidence Ashley.  I'm not feeling so confident about this.

  • What kind of gathering does it have to be?  Can it be something as simple as making bubble wands and playing with bubbles in the park with watermelon, grapes, crackers and cheese for snacks?  You can do that in any park or your yard, then just get that walkway from the frontdoor to the bathroom guest ready.
  • The playgroup coordinator had suggested some jump house type places and a few splash parks, but since I haven't been to any of those I didn't feel comfortable hosting there.  I was also trying to get away from a regular park because it's soo hot here, but that's what I'm going to do.  Since I've only been to one other meeting (at someone's house) I don't really know what the expectations are so I'll probably just bring some light snacks and drinks.
