December 2012 Moms

Well Fu..

I can't believe I did this. I am SO angry with myself and upset and just pissed.

In February my sister, DH, and myself figured out the dates for DS's bday party and DD's. We did this so she could get the time off of work, she works in Angio at a hospital and has to get her time off in way in advance. Well some time in the last 2 months, the last time we confirmed the dates, I switched the date in my head. I sent out bday invites, have my schedule to clean my house and buy party supplies set up, for Oct 12. the date we planned was Oct 5. My sister is coming in 2 days, and everyone else is coming next week. My house is trashed because I haven't been getting any sleep, the room they sleep in is the play room and you cant even walk in there right now. I am just beyond mad at myself.
I just found the school directory, would it be ok to email the parents of DS's friends and explain my mistake and see if the kids can come this Saturday?
My sister ALWAYS helps with his parties, she helps clean, decorate, she's my bff and I need her. I'm already a mess about my mom being in FL and not able to make it to the party. She's never missed anything with him. I don't know if my dad or any of my other siblings will come. My sister in Chicago said it's unlikely, my brother pretty much avoids me, my other sister is always busy it seems...
I'm going to have to stay up crazy late trying to get the play room in order. I've been trying to organize one thing a day, that's not going to help now.
I never do things like this, I feel like such a failure. I know my sister is going to be disappointed, Bryce will be too, gah!

Re: Well Fu..

  • Oh no! Don't be so hard on yourself. Everyone makes mistakes and forgets things. I do all of the time and I only have one child to keep track of! I don't see the harm in emailing and asking if this Saturday would be ok, but don't be too disappointed if some parents are unable to make the change. I don't know if this is an option, but maybe have a smaller family party this weekend and still have the other next weekend. I know that would be hard especially since you won't have your sister then to help you.

  • Thanks ladies. I think we will do two parties. I can't find the info for one of the kids, it's like he doesn't exist except at school. I can't not let his parents know and have the poor kid be left out.
    We are going to go to chuck e cheese with my sister and BIL and maybe my inlaws too. Bryce still gets his gift and we will get some better family time.
    Now I'm stressing about getting the play room clean, with DD taking super short naps the past few days, I'm not sure how I will find the time. She is not allowed in there because of small big kid toys.
    I'm not dealing with it tonight, I'm too tired. I'm going to gorge on coffee tomorrow and maybe a friend can come and play with Milla.

  • Opps, I have done things like that. Sounds like you have figured out a nice compromise to moving the entire party and extra family time is always nice. Enjoy spending time with your sister while she is here!

  • Sounds like you have a really great sister. I bet she'll totally understand, still help you get ready for next week, and turn a blind eye to a less than perfect room to stay in! Enjoy your time together. Sounds like you've got it under control.

  • Don't beat yourself up! It seems like everything will work out, try to enjoy your time with your sister. If it makes you feel any better, I sent out invites once for a huge BBQ at my house (about 85 invites...) and got my own phone number wrong for RSVPs :/
