The Best Laid Plans of Mice and Men

So, in my haste to go to New Orleans for Jazzfest with my bestfriend, hubby and I both forgot that hubby’s brother and family were coming to town for a couple of days to meet Minnow for the first time–yes that is right the first time.  So all I can say is SHIT.  Hubby is obviously staying behind and I am trying desperately not to.  I so want to go.  I also don’t want to lose the stupid change your airline ticket fee–but that is what I get for being spontaneous and not writing everything down on my calendar.  I am hoping I can still go with my best friend.  If not, I’ll suck up the fee and say “Maybe next year New Orleans”.  Damn it, I want to see billy joel.  I want crawfish monica, I want Cafe Du Monde….

PS…yes I totally know I should want to stay home and be with Minnow when he meets his uncle, aunt and 2 cousins for the first time.  I do know that, but just because I know it doesn’t make it true.

  1. Oh no! What crappy timing. Also, I don’t see any reason why you should want to stay home. Everyone will be fine without you and New Orleans sounds like it will be a great experience.

  2. LAWD, Dalai Mama, there is ABSOLUTELY no doubt in my mind that you ought be nowhere near young Minnow in the face of such a tedious visit and should instead be drinking bourbon. You deserve it. What a shame you can’t quite get to it. Or at least, not yet. If your bf can’t go with you, it’s time for a new bf. Crabmommy, perchance?
