Had a great weekend!

This weekend was super fun. My hubby and I went to see Rod Stewart and Stevie Nicks at Riverbend. It was a great show...outside, on the lawn. I loved it. I think I'm a Rod fan now.

Yesterday I had a baby shower with my friends. I loved being able to hang out with them.  I will admit that I was disappointed with a few of my friends who didn't RSVP and didn't show up...nor did they even apologize for not coming. I mean, anymore acknowledgement if some sort would have been nice. I didn't care about gifts...just wanted to hang out and catch up.

The same thing happened with a few people I invited to my wedding. Never even got a congrats from people I consider friends. I am thinking maybe over been too generous with that word. I mean, if someone gives no acknowledgement for the big things, which are easy to acknowledge, there is no way they'll be there for the little things that matter so much.

It has opened my she's for sure and made me reevaluate some things. Not out of anger, but just out of...principle. I think I need to have a good definition of what I consider a friend.

I mean, I've always been there for people. I am thinking I'll continue this, even for those who aren't there for me. I mean, I care about them. I do think I'll expect less though and maybe I'll hang back a little bit. Maybe I'll send cards instead of driving 2 hours for an event. Things like that.

I don't want to act like them, but I'm not going to go out .of my way anymore when it isn't reciprocated. This sounds so bad and I feel guilty for writing it.

I don't understand why someone like my friend Suzanne  wouldn't even at least say she's sorry for not coming. I mean, we'be been great friends for years and I have driven to Lexington to see her. I drive to Nashville to visit her and even asked her to go to NOLA with me when my ultimate goal was to go alone and think about the direction my former marriage was  going. It is just very hurtful. Even if she couldn't go, she could have at least sent a text. :-(

Anyway...c'est la vie, I guess.

The shower was super fun no matter what. I loved seeing Jenn, Mindy, and Kristy. :-) We laughed a lot, caught up with each other and Kristy told is about her 11 week old twin boys. I loved it. It was nice to get out of the house for a while too.

After that, I went to see Mom. She's doing greqt and planning a vacation to Myrtle Beach in September. She's going the first week of September. Lol. I'll probably have the baby while she's gone. Oh well, whatever. I really don't think I'll make it to my due date. I didn't with my boys and this one has had three due dates, one of which was Sept 2 and the way we're going, I think she will come around then, if not earlier. My measurements are all a week ahead, but more importantly, my body is acting like it did when I was about 4 weeks out from giving birth to my boys. My back has been hurting a LOT the last couple of days. I've had pressure and a lot more BH contractions, and cramping.

Of course, babies come when they are ready, regardless of what we think. ;-)
