Can somebody please tell me what's so damn hard about RSVPing to something, especially when it's specifically asked for? We are having Lexi's 3rd birthday this weekend and even though I asked for all RSVPs by yesterday we're still waiting on over half our guest list. For most people that might not be a big deal, but because of the sizes of our families that's still at least 35 people who haven't answered. I have no idea how much food to buy and at this point there won't be any party favors because I'm not about to buy them for kids who may or may not show up. And I even make it easy by providing my phone number and email address, so that people who don't want to talk or don't have time to can just drop me a simple email. This is nothing new, so I shouldn't be surprised, but it doesn't change how frustrated I am over the whole thing. The only thing that makes this funny is watching these same people stress out when it's their party and they're not getting any RSVPs.
So, if you're one of the people who hasn't RSVPd yet and you're reading this, can you please take the 30 seconds to do so now? Or I might decide not to feed you if you do show up.

- This is a place to for me to rant & rave and mostly brag about my family. I try to be funny, but realize things are much funnier in my head than they are written down.I went to college to be a teacher, but after a semester of student teaching came home and told my husband (whom I married in 1999) I could teach or we could have kids. You can see what we choose! So I went to the opposite extreme and got my Business degree with an emphasis in Marketing and minor in Economics. After getting pregnant with our first child I gave up the business world and became a SAHM, which it turns out is my ultimate dream job. A short 19 months later we were blessed with another child, followed 3 years later by our 3rd. Our 4th and final baby arrived on Valentine's Day 2011. And the inevitable question - are we done? In the past I would have said I didn't know, but after a high risk 4th pregnancy and 4 perfect children, I can now say yes. We're enjoying our crazy life with two school aged daughters, one adorable little boy, and our newborn daughter, taking each day as it comes.
