A friend of mine is getting engaged tonight and her family is throwing a surprise a "bling bling you got a ring" party. They just told me about it today and its only for the wedding party and family. They don't think the party will start until 9PM! They said I could bring DD which is very kind, but that is way past her bedtime and her naps suck right now. DH is out of town so he can't stay home with her....I really want to go and feel like I should go, but I really don't want to take DD since 1.) it would be almost 2-3 hrs past her bedtime before we got home 2.) I dont want 20 different people wanting to hold her. Should I go and just hope that she will nap while I'm there and not let anyone hold her or do you think it would be fine to just stay home? Surely they would understand...
Re: ugh...i have a baby ya know
hehehehe...its kind of weird. I guess they had decided or she had decided they knew they were getting married so she started planning her wedding. When I say plan I mean she PLANNED. She picked a date, bought bridesmaid dresses, bought decorations, picked out her dress, got a location, etc etc... I know its very backwards, but thats just how she is and we all just go along with it. He is proposing tonight, which is good since the wedding is scheduled for september
Not much of a surprise then is it?
I wouldn't take DD to a party like this. I imagine that it will be loud and a bit boisterous. Not an environment that MY DD does well in.
My family is a Foreign Service family. Families like mine are posted in every corner of the globe. We live our lives away from family, friends and the conviences and comforts of home. We often live and work in dangerous places among those that misunderstand our intentions and purposes. Sometimes members of our ranks sacrifice our lives to further diplomacy. Please remember that we serve too. And I'm always open to questions.
haha i had a friend like that!
i would just call her tomorrow and skip the party. now if it was the actual wedding that would be a different story.
I personally wouldn't take LO that late. I would have someone watch him for me and go.
Side note: I love that picture of your LO. So adorable!
Thanks! I took it in our backyard one day when she was in a pretty good mood. I'm glad I did, because I've tried a couple of times since and she refuses...hahaha
