Sean finally broke down and called his father to see if he's coming to Ian's birthday party. He is coming, but asked Sean what to get Ian. I told Sean to have his girlfriend pick it out just like every other year. The man doesn't even know his own Grandson, so who cares? (I am bitter, yes. It's not every day that a Grandfather lies to his own Grandson and misses his gymnastics recital because he doesn't want to come!)

I also heard from (well, not from exactly, but rather 'about' from another person) the other group I was talking about. earlier. They aren't coming and it's understandable why, but I still wish they would have called...

I didn't realize how long it's been since I've written anything! Sean had his surgery on Thursday and he can't do anything at all but sit on the couch. It's been up to me to take care of Ian and do all the housework, so I haven't had time to log on. I haven't even had two minutes to drop Entrecards, which is something I used to do daily!

We're gearing up for Ian's birthday party on Sunday and I'm excited for a day of friends and family. Ian's pretty excited too, though he doesn't quite get why we're having a party this month instead of November when his true birthday is, LOL!

People are funny though. Some RSVP'd right away, and still others haven't even bothered. I know it isn't a big deal for some people, but we're going to the park, bringing a big grill, and cooking ribs, chicken, and hotdogs. Everyone knows this, yet they don't care enough to respond? I have to buy the food by Friday and it's pissing me off that there are quite a few people whom we haven't heard a peep from! I told Sean to call his "family" and ask but he refuses, which is great because I really want to end up without enough food for the people who were polite and responded so that the unthinking people can eat! Better still will be to spend a lot of $$$ on food for people who won't even show up...
