My Sundays are normally uneventful. I lounge in my PJ’s, do little side projects and READ! The weather this weekend has been gloomy and rainy too. Perfect weather for the types of activities I just mentioned. However, today we are celebrating kidlet #2’s birthday so we are heading to Sky City!
I have to be honest with you, getting the RSVPs for this event has been a bit of a challenge. Folks do not know common etiquette nor do they care to learn it. When a birthday venue charges by the head, I would never just assume that it would be okay to bring my child plus his/her 4 siblings. I have been dealing all week with these kinds of issues. Talk to me about your situation. I’m an easy person to talk to, but don’t leave a message saying 6 are coming when two were invited.
OK. Enough of that.
Today is also the day that my son auditions for the 3rd time for The Music Man. It’s down to 5 boys. Break a leg Kidlet #1!
After all this is said and done, I will ask my husband to get the Halloween stuff down from the attic (again). Third time’s the charm, right?
Book Chatter 
Etiquette has gone out the window. We had a Cinco de Mayo party and asked for regrets only. Only 2 couples didn’t show who hadn’t regretted. (One of them did send a note explaining what happened after the fact.) We did however, have a couple, who were not invited, show up with their 2 small children. It was not a party for children.
Oh, Ti, I’m so glad I’m not the only one who has to ask my husband to do stuff multiple times.I usually try to RSVP just because I know how nice it is as the host to have an accurate idea of how many people are going to show up.Have a fun day and good luck to Kidlet #1 with the audition!
1. I’m jealous of the PJs all day thing; I haven’t done that for years … unless I’ve been sick, in which case I’m probably not in the mood for reading!2. RSVPs … it’s frustrating! Equally frustrating are thos who indicate they will be there, then no-show and you’re stuck paying the party venue. I call if I don’t get a response by the RSVP date; that helps some.3. How did the auditions go?4. Our Halloween decorations came up from the basement yesterday. I think the younger two will change their minds *daily* (maybe *hourly*) about costumes right up until it’s time to trick-or-treat!
My decorations are up! Kidlet #1 did well with the audition. We find out if he got the part on Tuesday evening.
