Seussical
So I opened it carefully. Never know what he might have snuck in it. The card was ok. There was also a notice for a party on the 20th.
Now this frustrates me. In the holiday season why would they wait so long to let parents know of a party at the program? Then I look and realize that it is on Thursday. The time 4-6. NOw husband and I went to the summer one. We brought a dish etc. husband can in no way shape or form go this time. Thursday is one of those nights for him at work that unless death or maiming (his mind you no one elses) he really can't miss.
So now we have the dilemna. I don't know how comfortable I am going by myself. Obviously staff will be there but so are all the other kids (this is an offender program and I know how violent mine is what are the others like) and their families. I would have no problem bringing something but I just don't know if I am comfortable alone.
I know difficult child would be disappointed (as if that doesn't happen a lot) but I just am not sure I have the strength to do this alone. I do have a commitment that day (that I could get out of easily but he doesn't know that) so I could always use that as the reason.. You know since you informed us so late dad can't take off work and I committed to such and such. But I feel torn. This should not be that big of a deal.
I just wish I weren't so afraid to go do things with him right now. That would make a huge difference.
I have to rsvp soon but I am sure when we are there for the staffing on Monday he will ask. So I have to know by then what my decision is. ARgh, why do they make it so hard to do things with them?
