today is my friend's 'jill's baby zoey's birthday, two years old, and i am flat broke, and don't know what to do. I think i shoud just be honest and call and tell Jill that i am not going to be able to make it, i am sorry i just cannot afford anything until the first and on the first i will bring them a special little second party or something, that way i will not disapoint them, and it is the honest thing to do, know i thought about lying and saying my sister that lives in southern california needed me to come by for a couple of days, the first is around the corner...but it is a lie and i don't wanna do that, you know. So i guess i am just going to be honest and swallow my pride (if that is what this feeling is called, unsure) and call jill and just be honest. I am sure she will be all like it's no big deal, but to me it is, the though of disapointing those two beautiful little angels is something i just cannot do, you know....ofcourse i do have some stuffed toys and a little present box thing that i got free at the container store that has never been used, so i could give her some bears...that is what i am going to do... and just tell nancy that i am strapped and want to do something the next week when i have more money. She'll understand, cause i know she is going to want me to be there. And it's not like the stuffed toys i have on a shelf are dirty or used or anything, they are actually very cute, they are care bears, remember those? Gosh i am probably making a much bigger deal out of this than i should....but i love those little babies and i've only known them such a short time. anyway that is what's going on with me.
so did you go? i hope so!if she is a true friend and i believe she is ,she will understand .i think as long as you come ,its not about the presnts but more so about you being present to celebrate their birthday with them. thats the way i see it , i have really good friends who have came to my kids partys with nothing,and i knew they didnt have money .i would call them and say dont bring nothing but yourself.just come celebrate their lives with me .to me birthdays are not about the gifts its about some one coming and celebrating the fact that we are all here and alive right now in this moment, and im happy that you are here with me and thats all that matters.i know we dont like to hear that ,but that always make up for it when they do have money and i hate that,but they always will end up helping out .just by keeping my kids for me or something like that .newayz...i hope you went :)
