Forecast: Disappointment

I have thought about this all day as I watched the torrential downpour.
As badly as we needed the rain, I have found myself hating it today.
I watched my lawn turn into soup.
I watched the weather channel and saw them predict rain, rain, rain for the rest of today.
I thought about how many people I have invited to this playdate at my house.
My smallish house.
I began to become very nervous about how in the world we are going to make it work with gravy grass.
Kids in and out. In and out.
I decided I wasn't woman enough for the job.

I have opted to take a rein check on our playdate tomorrow and vow to have one as soon as possible.

You have no idea how I look forward to these things - it wasn't a fun choice to cancel.
I will try to make it up to you by doing your laundry in my spare time or cooking nearly edible meals or pulling weeds - I AM good at pulling weeds...
Many apologies.

I'll drop my laundry off tomorrow. When will dinner be ready?

hey that's ok. you can't control the weather any more than i can control when my hubby comes home. do you detect a little disappointment and sarcasm with my statement?

we will make it up. when my kids were little and i needed some adult playtime, we used to take them to McDonald's to play. then we would visit. just an idea.

love ya, kimmie

Forgiven and completely understandable. COMPLETELY.
