OMG...freakin' people!!!!!!

Sorry, need to vent a bit. If you ever have the brilliant idea of organizing a reunion, pick up the closest object...unless it's a stapler, scissors or a knife...and wack yourself over the head! All the planning, calls, emails/messages/more emails...everything you do isn't appreciated because someone's pissed off over something.

After talking with a former grad who planned her reunion, I wanted to do what they did...pick a few events that people could show up and pay their own way (beach day/dinner/drinks at a bar). Loved it! Thought it would be easy. Well when I asked what people would like to do, they suggested a dance...which requires a hall, liquor licence, DJ, munchies, etc...oh, and money up front. Well I don't have that kind of money, but I figured if everyone sent post dated cheques, I'd know the money would be there to pay for everything. So I sent out all the details a month ago with a deadline for July 1st. I haven't received anything. Today I email everyone asking for ideas for an alternate plan. Then I got 2 emails from gals wondering what the heck's going on. I referred them back to my message from a month ago. Now I'm getting attitude over it. My goodness, some mother's children!!!!! What a pain! I'm kind of hoping the dance falls through now because it's more trouble than it's worth. UGH!!!!

*sigh* Thank goodness that's over. In other news, the wknd was tough with E...very, VERY challenging. DH was in course again all wknd which is explains the issue. After a lot of talking/couching, FINALLY by Sunday, she turned a corner. Today DH kept her out of daycare...so happy for her. They had a really fun day. Now, I'm just about off for an excitified evening. I have my first 2 sit downs tonight with my trainer. All I have to do is sit there and watch, but still, it's nerve racking. Weird. Anyway, wish me luck.
