Excuse me while I do this....
Do we teach our children how to treat others? Do we teach them about commitment? Do we teach them about keeping our word? Do we teach them the simple things like saying please and thank you?
Yes, I am a smidge fired up right now for numerous reasons. But the main reason is this - a simple movie night with friends.
And the fact being that this movie night was at the specific request of David's friends makes me all the more tweaked. His friends wanted to have a Harry Potter movie night and this night was picked a good 2 weeks ago. David reminded those that said they would come. We had 5 "yes, I will be there". The "maybe I'll come" never get counted but we all know they don't come. (Why they just can't say no is beyond me).
Well, guess how many people showed up tonight? 2!! Yes, TWO!!! And get this - those specific friends that asked to have there party here (and said they would be here) are the ones that are NOT here. No phone calls from those that said they were coming - nothing, nada, zilch!!! I just don't get it. When you tell someone you will be there and something comes up, have the courtesy to call and say so.

Honestly people, let's be considerate of others.
I think it's going to take me a bit to calm down. Now to go fix pizza for the boys that came.
