So, I was supposed to meet with a florist with my mom and FMIL a few weeks ago. The florist had an emergency, and never showed up. He apologized profusely, FMIL has used this florist for years, so I'm trying to schedule another appointment.
However, I scheduled that first appointment when I did, because I knew my schedule was going to get crazy really fast, and then I'd be behind. Of course, the florist (and many vendors) are all like, "You have time!" ...No, actually, I don't. FI will be busy with school once the semester rolls around again, I am in a show, we're both trying to work, FMIL works, mom works (strange hours, too, she's a shiatsu practitioner, so she has to work around client schedules), my dad is only out East about once every six weeks, and I'm struggling to get information out of my BMs. When I call a vendor and ask for an appointment, or to make sure my contract is in the mail (like the photographer, who said he'd mail it at the beginning of July, and FI had to call and say we didn't have it... twice...)... I'm not working on the schedule you think I should be working on, I'm working on the schedule I have!
Yes, right now, I'm mostly out of work. That does not mean I can come running to an appointment at any which time - I have other things I do, other places to be, and I'm asking now because I'm free, NOW.
I get it. They have other brides and parties and jobs. But please, please don't tell me, "You have time!" especially when I've just told you I'm pretty squeezed schedule wise.
Sorry. Frustrating weeks trying to get in contact with people. Some of it is my fault, some of it is not, and it's just getting to me.
