Ok..so I am not one to normally vent, but here goes nothing.
My MOH lives in SD, she has a busy life with a child, pregnant again, 2 jobs and now planning her wedding along with breathing (everything happened after she accepted MOH except her 1st child). She came to me back in June wanting to know dates that would work for the shower and the B-party. Gave her dates, she sent out invites for the shower and then fell off the face of the earth. I finally spoke to her 2 weeks before the shower and she asked me if I knew what was going on or if any plans had been made. I said no, thinking she was taking care of it. My other BM's spoke to her and realized she had nothing planned, so they took over and everything was fine. (Other BM's were not too happy, but I cannot blame them).
Now FF to the B-Party. My MOH called wanting to know the date. I told her the same date we had discussed back in May. She said she felt bad because she can't really participate in the fun as she is now pregnant. I told her that it will be just fine and I just really want her there to hang out with us. She offered to sober cab as she cannot drink and wanted to be there with us. All plans/reservations were made and invites were sent out last weekend.
She called me yesterday and said I have to tell you something but don't freak out..I'm not going to be able to make it for your Bparty as I have to work. ::cue freak out::: She has known about the date since May, she planned everything and sent out invites, people have started to RSVP, and now she cannot make it? She asked if the other girls would be willing to take over, which they have already offered (thankful for that) but now we don't have transportation.
Any one have any ideas for a shuttle company? Limo's and party buses are a bit out of the budget at this point.
Before you flame me, I just want to make it known, that yes, I am greatful for everything she has done, and I also understand that it is not their job to throw parties for me. Their job is to show up on the wedding day, in appropriate attire. My issue is that invites are sent out, deposits put down for the reservation and then poof she can't make it.
Thanks for letting me vent.... Rant over.
