Tue 10/2/2007 2:59p | No, no, no...please tell me this is made up!?!?!?!
Borrowed your shampoo and clothes without asking????
Oh, villains...I tell you...I am bouncing off the walls here at work reading this. I cannot believe anyone could possibly be so rude, inconsiderate, selfish, presumptious, and all those other words that I am not allowed to say here. You know which ones.
Poor DD. You and I are big kids, and we can handle crummy things like this...we just get mad. BUT...when someone makes our babies cry...that IS NOT ok!!!! She sounds like she wound up being ok, but this was HER surprise trip. I am so glad that no matter what, you guys got some time alone.
I cannot believe how mad I am! I need a smoke break, and then I'll be back. Maybe I'll have something a bit more comforting and philosophical to say. Nicotine enhances my intelligence. |

Tue 10/2/2007 7:18p | Okay final chapter -
So by the time she reaches me and we make it to the car it's 2:35 - our plane is at 4:05 in burbank and she still needs to put gas in and we need to return the car!! DS and GF have left on time at around 2:15 and call me and tell me they hit traffic on 5. They call to check on our progress and we have hit more traffic than they did - the say it clears up around Glendale or something -
This whole time friend is asking are you mad at me - I say no. Did I do something wrong - again I say no. Is everything okay - I say yes. Did you guys have fun - again I say yes. All very short answers by this point I don't want to get in to it with her trapped in a car in traffic with 2 nine year olds in the back - and then have to get on a plane with her. So then she shows me the stuff she "bought" DS has his doubts she bought all of it especially with the $21 hair wrapping HD had and after she "found" two shirts (both tink with a $36 & $38 price tags on them still)that just happen to be her size on thursday in the candy shop floor on main street - after I had the girls back to the hotel!! Now she wants me to be excited for her that she - who couldn't take HD to AGDS or BAB because she was out of money - had enough to buy herself 2 shirts, a hat for HD dad, a snow globe for a friend, and a shirt for HD that apparently they sold her for half price and wanted to know if they always did that kind of thing (yeah right they always do that). She procedes to tell me she never does anything or gets anything for herself so she thought she deserved them...Now I am thinking this really doesn't add up and I know she had about $200 for the rest of the trip before GK on Sat.
$50 GK
$26 bloody Mary's GK (3)
$15 snow globe
$25 baseball cap
$24 tink shirt for HD
$26 one shirt for her
$32 other shirt for her
$21 hair wrap
$13 Pict on Screemin
$12 pict on TOT
$32 gas for rental car
----
$276 hmmmm doesn't really add up - no she doesn't have any credit cards - but she applied for a disney one - plus they still ate after GK and on sunday!!
So we finally get to the car place and it is 3:32 we check the car in and get to the airport at 3:47 - check our luggage - DS has been there with GF for 30 min.
All our bags are marked late check in and we make the made dash to the plane - at burbank you get your boarding pass at the gate...so we are off arriving at the gate at 4:05 but the plane is just getting ready to load - they load outside here. Check in and they only have three seats left as they have already started calling standby...They tell us there is another plane 2 gates down in 40 min and we are sure to get on it. I tell her to call HD dad to pick them up and take the first plane (my car was near the airport and my dads condo so I had a ride)-SO she tells my DS come on come with me there are three seats - DS says no he's not going to leave his mom and sis in an airport alone (not only a good boy but he was sick of her and her rude comments about what he and his girlfriend may or maynot be doing) (Oh yeah I know what they are and aren't doing as my son is very open and honest about it all and we have had very serious talks about it especially since GF is only 17)! There was no way I was going to take the first plane and have to sit and wait for her to get there and I just didn't trust myself not to just leave here there!!not kidding!! So the flight home was packed and we had to wait on stand by - but the flight was delayed almost 30 min - but we got on and a nice young man (yep I feel old with that saying) moved to another single seat so DD and I could sit together and DS was right in front of us...
We made it home safe and sound and DD and DS both said they had fun when friend and HD weren't around and asked me to never invite anyone to go with us again - I reminded him I didn't invite her she invited herself...he just told me I have to quit being so nice and stand up to people and just say no...maybe he is smarter than me sometimes!!
Happy to be home and can't wait for the next trip as I know it will be great and this one will soon be a distant memory!! |

Tue 10/2/2007 7:58p | OMG, Villains, I need to absorb all of this before I can even comment. I am so upset. |

Wed 10/3/2007 12:42a | Sorry to interupt but I am amazed that someone who asked themselves on your trip could be soooooo insensitive and downright rude and not know it. I think you have been incredibily patient and restaining not just decking her and telling her to get lost (or other strong words!!) |

Wed 10/3/2007 9:29a | Every time I think of how you painstakingly went over every scenario about which airport to fly to and from, just so you could get your DD to the American Girl store, and to find out you didn't even get there! OH! It just makes me crazy!
(More comments to follow...in a hurry!) |

Wed 10/3/2007 2:13p | Oh my! There is a lot I can say but will hold my tongue. First of all what she did is not ok. Your poor DD crying and not able to go to AG. That part is what made me so mad. How can someone be so rude. At that point I would have told her to find her own way home if she did not want to go with original plans. Thank goodness you have future trips to forget about the awful trip. |

Wed 10/3/2007 2:19p | Mollysmom,I am leaving at 4am December 2. Unless I wake up earlier and unable to sleep. We will be at the parks that afternoon. I think we need to take Villans out for a drink. She sure can use one maybe two after that trip. |

Wed 10/3/2007 3:55p | mater4...you are now on my calendar so I don't forget. You'll be there when tink819 is, I think.
We sure do need to do something for villains. I know I had a couple of drinks last night while I was squawking at DH about all of this. I hope she gets the chance to tell this "friend" how she feels about what transpired. Not that it will change anything, but she should get it off her chest. Personally, I would have let loose in the car when she asked if I "had a good time." I would have kept it clean for the kids in the back seat, but there would have been no mistaking my anger and hurt. You can tell by villains' recount here that she is extremely upset. Mostly for her DD, of course, but you can tell that she feels taken advantage of in a great way. I guess I'm not as nice as villains...I would not let something like this pass without letting that woman know how she made me or my DD feel.
I think villains should toss back a few mudslides and speak her mind. Thank God she only has 2 more weeks to go before her next trip.
