What a let down.

So the chick who said she and her boys would go to White Water today was wishy-washy from the start. She told me yesterday afternoon "I want to go, count me in". So I tell the boys. There are estatic. I call her about 5 and tell her I have a coupon for her, 1 free child and $10 off an adult. She asks how much it costs and I tell her. She goes into this long rambling excuses about $$, I just bought a time share, and wasn't sure if they could go.
Great. I should have fucking known.

So I assume she's not going. I ask everyone I know and OF COURSE everyone is busy because it's short notice and a Friday. I absolutely can't bring them alone. No way. I come home and break it to Xan and he takes it well. I'm relieved.

I look at my phone this AM before boot camp and she text me @ 11. I'm in! I'm so happy. I call Xan on my way home from work this morning and he's all excited. I go to the store and get lunch and snack stuff.

9:00am. The time we were to meet. She calls.

"I'm sick. I shouldn't go. And the boys have swim team. I could go, but I'm not really up to it. I just wanted to let you know"
I tell her, "Well the kids are excited and ready to go. I guess I'll tell them we can't go now"
"Yeah, I shouldn't have said I could go"
me "Yeah, you really shouldn't have"

Xan is so mad he won't even look at me.

Excuse me while I have a little pity party here.

I'm always there for people. I took her child for 4 hours so she could pack for a trip after her car broke down. I try to do what I say, especially when my decision will effect somebody else's CHILD.
Just once in a while, I wish people would come through for me.

Just once.
