With -- sit down -- a horse riding party. Oh, Jeebus, I thought my daughter would die. We made arrangements with the party girl's mom to go riding the next week together, but my daughter assured me, "It's not the same!!" Oh, how like crap we can feel like moms. But honest mistakes happen. And kids do survive. I DID THIS!! With — sit down — a horse riding party. Oh, Jeebus, I thought my daughter would die.

Oh, how like crap we can feel like moms.

But honest mistakes happen. And kids do survive.

Seriously. And you HAVE to write the DAY of the party plus the date, because hello, you just DO.<br/><br/>So for what it's worth, I absolve you of all mummy-badness. <br/><br/>Did that help? That’s madness. Seriously. And you HAVE to write the DAY of the party plus the date, because hello, you just DO.

So for what it’s worth, I absolve you of all mummy-badness.

Did that help?

No wait, that was my cousin, they had no kids. Poor Henry - but he'll get over it. Maybe the same people who get married at 6:00 on the Friday of Labor Day weekend.

I ran into a friend the other week and told her that we'd see her on Saturday afternoon at her son's 2nd birthday party. She told me that it was on Sunday afternoon. Like you, I had written it down wrong on my calendar. Oops!<br/><br/>And my daughter had her 3rd birthday party this past Saturday afternoon at 4:30 p.m. One of the guests said that she and her son had been to The Little Gym twice that day -- they thought the party was at 1:30 p.m. and showed up then!<br/><br/>It happens, particularly when you're overscheduled like we all are. Don't sweat it! Our kids just have a knack for making us feel like sh** at times. In my house tonight, said by my 5 y.o. son: "Tommy's parents let him wear shirts with Mickey Mouse and Spider-Man and other violent images. [ed. note: Mickey Mouse a violent image -- ha!] Why won't you ever let me wear shirts like that?" Apparently I'm the mean mommy who makes her son wear preppy colored shirts. Blah! Don’t feel bad.

Or is that the worst girlfriend award?

Anyhow - people do that, it is not the end of the world and I agree with one of the responses above - make a playdate.
