So it appears that I will be spending my Saturday night chaperoning the youth lock-in at church. Not exactly my preferred thing to do this weekend, I don't think I'm exactly in a frame of mind for hanging out with the youth group. But it appears that all four of the people who said they wanted to do the youth group this year managed to not make time for this, and in fact someone canceled last minute. That makes me very frustrated, because I spent the last two years doing it by myself because one couple who wanted to help sulked that they never got to be in charge, and then they punked out on me every time they were needed. So now they've punked out yet again, and here I am, left holding the bag I didn't even want.

Okay, so I didn't mean to rant. But now I'm not ranting.

Anyway- Vince and Libby both said they wanted to do something with me this weekend. I'm free tomorrow night, but I'm broke. Do with that information what you will. If you call me, leave a message and I will call you back.

I have cramps. I'm going to take a hot bath and go to bed.

they sound like a couple of asshat fucktards...or one of the many variations thereof.

you aren't obligated just cause someone else screwed up. Have PLANS that no one can make you change. even if you don't. You won theater tickets, you're out of town. It is my experience that indispensable people get screwed over like this often.

I know I'm not obligated. But I'm kinda a sucker, sometimes. I think I'm going to go help do crowd control for a bit, then leave. I don't have to stay overnight, there is another adult staying. But you're right...

don't be sucker or doormat if you can avoid it.

ha! I've been both all my life. But I guess I'm not that big of a sucker, because I wouldn't say yes if at least part of me didn't want to do it. Right? That's the thing about this weekend... even though I'm upset (I was really cranky last night!) about their attitudes towards doing this, I don't really mind covering for them. I could think of worse things to do with my Saturday night. And I try to to do things on the "principle" of it, so avoiding tomorrow night just because I'm upset with them would be stupid. I'm not upset with the kids.

Eh, maybe I'm fooling myself.... maybe I am a sucker.
