My sister and I have being trying to work out a visit for a while. The only time Emily, Travis, and I could have gone out to visit her in California was over Emily's spring break. Well, Angie didn't want us to come visit then because that was the week before they left for Disney, and she had errands to run and packing to do. Fair enough.
Then we tried to work it out so that she and my nephew could come here and we could do a beach trip during their visit. That was a lot of work and attempting to plan for nothing. She never would commit, and I would find a great deal on condos, and she would never get back to me and then the deals would be gone. One thing that she kept getting hung up on is that she didn't want her son to miss Vacation Bible School.
I mean, come on! It's not that I think VBS isn't worthwhile, but I think he could miss it one time to go and spend time with his family and to go somewhere he's never been.
Finally, we decided to just plan a visit and not try to include a beach trip.
Well, in the meantime, Kyle, Emily, Travis, his mom, his cousin and her family, and I have planned a five night beach trip starting on June 16.
A couple of weeks ago, Angie mentioned that they might be able to come here on June 11 for a few nights. I told her, "Well, we are leaving to go to the beach on June 16." She said, "I know."
That was the last I heard of it.
Then, I woke up this morning to two emails. She wants to come out on Friday June 8 or Saturday June 9 and stay until June 15.
So, obviously, I am slightly (and that's true, it's only slightly) put out with her. We couldn't come and visit her the week before she went on a trip, but they can come here the week before we go on a trip?
Also, the week she will be here--that's Emily's VBS. So I emailed her back and told her to keep in mind we are leaving town on June 16, so I would have errands to run and packing to do, and also, that week is Emily's VBS. I told her Andrew was welcome to attend. We'll see what happens. I can so see her making a HUGE fight or issue out of this, and I am just going to tell her--we were told NOT to visit the week of Emily's spring break because y'all were getting ready for a trip. Then you would not give up Andrew's VBS to come here, so why should we change everything to accomodate her when she would not budge?
I hope I am wrong and that she doesn't start anything with me.
But do y'all see what I am saying about how she wouldn't do that stuff for me/us, but I am expected to do that for her/them?

I think she's always like that. I don't know if she does it on purpose or just doesn't think about it. I know you guys have butted heads before.
