Birthday party bust!



Saturday was my daughter's 3rd birthday party and although I think the kids had a good time, it was a bit of a disaster on my end.

First, the City never showed up to open the facility I had booked (Withrow House Clubhouse) so I had to beg a random city worker to let me in.

Then, the Sportball coach that was supposed to facilitate an activity for the kids didn't show up!

...and would you believe I double confirmed both of these contracts in the preceding week?

I am spending this week with my Mom, who is the hands-down expert at writing angry letters. I am in training!

UPDATE: One of the founders of Sportball called me tonight. She was extremely appologetic and backed up her words with swift action.

    That's life, control is an illusion, things happen and you just go with the flow. You survived so I'd say it wasn't so much of a bust. Your daughter was celebrated, you had her in your arms, your friends came to join in the celebration, all things considered, I'd say it was a success.

    Stay blessed.

    1. Blessings indeed. We have a happy and healthy little 3 year old who only occassionally picks her nose. ...I can't ask for much more than that.

  2. As if planning a birthday party for 3 year olds isn't stressful enough! Looks like you at least had good weather.
