Birthday Bash!

Okay when I have to clean my house for something important - i.e. a birthday party - I usually make a detailed list. I am a list maker! Actually I make more than one list, but we'll talk about that later. So I am more than half way finished on my THING TO DO AT HOME list and I should be finished by late afternoon....except for the garage and the mowing - but that is for JR.
JR and I got to talking after I got off the phone with my best friend Dana. She unfortunately isn't going to make it and wanted to call and send her apologies. So I started making my grocery store list and JR asked if I had a head count of how many people were coming...ummm no - because I guess when people see rsvp - they think it meanseveryone else should rsvp - the problem with that thinking is that everyone thinks it! LOL So I assume that the people that didn't rsvp aren't coming...I dont know what etiquette says...do you only rsvp if you are coming? hmmm...ANyway, so I was naming off the people that I knew were coming FOR SURE and we have 10 adults...and with the exception of 2 of those adults (Nikki and Travis) they are all related to me. My mom, dad, sister, aunt, uncle, cousins. there are still some maybe's out there and a friend of mine who may be coming a little late, and then another friend of ours, Keith. I still can't get over the "maybe" people...Hello - today is Thursday - what is going to pop up between now and then? As you can see - No one from JR's family is coming. He talked to his mom last night. She said she didn't have the money...but yet she can go on a cruise with only a weeks notice! It is so ridiculous...trust me 0 I understand not having money...REALLY I get it, but I dont think I could ever miss my grandchilds birthday. JR was so pissed. When he got off the phone he said he had text Brittany (his sister) earlier that day to see if she was coming and she said it depended on whether or not their mom came so they could ride together. So theres that. Then, to add to that family - yesterday I got a text message from Lisa (JR's brother's wife) at 10:30 in the morning that said, "miss u" I thought about saying - well I will see you this weekend...but I chose to just ignore it. It is just so crappy of them...I am more hurt by Jason and Lisa not coming than by anyone else in that family because when we lived in Spring Lisa and I got really close and I considered her my friend, not just a sister in law. When we went to Houston for Davin's 4th birthday, she gave us such a guilt trip for not staying with them, that we changed our plans and stayed at their house. She was telling me how she missed me and wanted me to stay there so we could talk and catch up. Well, while we were talking and catching up, we talked about how Carol (JR's mom) didn't go to Davin's party because - oh SURPRISE SURPRISE, she went on a cruise - Lisa was saying how she was hurt and I predicted that Carol wouldn't come to Landry's party either - I also predicted that she would say it was because of money or becuase of her dogs...SHE DID BOTH. Lisa made the comment, "I WOULD NEVER MISS LANDRY'S FIRST BIRTHDAY" Whatever!
So JR said that he was serious and that we WOULD NOT be traveling to see ANY of them during the holidays...I reminded him we had to go to Galveston because of my grandmother and that it wouldn't be very nice to go there and not see his mother. He said he didn't care - that it wasn't going to happen. I started to try and discuss this with him, but decided to wait a little while to when he calms down. I told him I couldn't wait until Davin's 5th birthday....he said why - I said, "Well because Logan will be playing T-ball at that point." He said, yeah - but I dont think like Jason and Lisa - I think its perfectly fine to miss a t-ball game for a cousin's birthday party. And I said, "Exactly, I can't wait to say - well, Logan has a T-ball game, but we will be there anyway. We want to teach our children that family comes before sports." I mean seriously the kid is 4 years old...he can miss a damn game! Ughh that family seriously just pisses me off!
My next prediction....Not a single one of them will send her a card!
