I Let My Neighbors Down

That’s it, I’ve officially LOST IT!!! I had my calendar marked for my little going away party this morning at 9:30 AM. I got my darlin’ off to work and I got ready for the special little ladies brunch.

I left the house at 9:29 so that I would be walking up to her door right on time. As I was walking down the sidewalk, my neighbor Phyllis passed in her car and we waved and I thought, aw, I’m going to miss her, sure wish she could be here. I got to Sadie’s door, rang the door bell and I stood there for what seemed like an eternity. Then I rang the bell one more time. No answer.

I walked back home thinking I got the time wrong and convinced myself that she was at the store. I also convinced myself that Phyllis was on her way to the store too and the party surely must start at 10:30.

10:29 came and I was on my way back over to Sadie’s house feeling much better this time around. However, I got the same response. No Answer. My heart dropped and I felt so sad. How could I get this wrong? I got home and called Mary Beth, one of my other neighbors and asked her what was going on when she said, “Oh Yes, I’m going to the brunch tomorrow at 9:30!” Tomorrow??? 9:30??? I thought, I’m not even going to be here, we’re flying to NY tomorrow! And then I had to explain to Mary Beth how I goofed it all up. She was so sweet and let me know she understood as we have a lot on our plates right now. I feel so terrible, everyone has planned to come to the little coffee/brunch and I won’t be there.
