OMG!

Riley is in this little baby class. Aside from the fact that the teacher is a complete moron (USE TWO HANDS, RILEY!!!), it's an enjoyable class. I like all of the moms who attend and their kids are sweet and fun.

There is another child in Riley's class that shares his birthday which is coming up very soon. About three months ago, his mom came running up to me and said, "We're having our son's birthday party on Saturday the 19th so you need to have Riley's another day."

Believe it or not, I didn't get offended by this. Her son is her first and only child and these things are important. I just planned on having our party on the 20th. No biggie.

So, we bought some invitations (Curious George-Riley picked them out). I had them filled out, addressed, stamped and ready to go. I just needed to send them out. Yes, I do love to procrastinate.

It turns out that it's a good thing I hadn't done it yet.

Can you guess why?

Today the other child's mom handed out his invitations announcing the party date as Sunday the 20th.

SUNDAY THE 20th NOT SATURDAY THE 19th like she insisted!!!!

So now the parties are on the same day!

Nice.

The good news is that our invites haven't gone out. The bad news is that we have to buy all new invitations (Go Diego, GO!) and start this all over again.
That means I have to call the place where we were having the party and see if they can switch dates and I'll need to reschedule the delicious birthday cake I ordered. Annoying...but doable.

That's the last time I try to work around someone else's schedule.

I wouldn't even bother were it not for the fact that she is inviting many of the same kids we are inviting and I don't want people, my friends, to get stuck in the middle.

Birthday party politics are always so fun.

Well, they say nice guys finish last.

Please DO delurk and discuss this one.

I'm speechless.
