How very sweet of you.<BR/><BR/>I am so terribly sorry that your son is hurting because of someone's lack of manners. It upsets me to see a child hurt and it is even worse when it is your own. I will tell you that there will probably be more times like this in their futures. You will be there to support them and they will survive.<BR/><BR/>We are witnessing our granddaughter who will be 14 in July not getting to play softball. She has spent over half of each game sitting on the bench when last year she was the best player.<BR/><BR/>I actually asked one of the coaches last night why. He came buy to collect a $2000 check for cement work we had him do. He told us she is not aggressive enough. Our grands have been taught to be considerate and not showoffs so it seems now she is paying for it. Her mother actually had to tell her she is going to have to learn how to "schmooz" in order to get noticed. How sad she can't be her sweet lovable self.<BR/><BR/>Thanks so much for all the lovely freebies you share with us. They are greatly appreciated.<BR/><BR/>Big Hugs!Carole N.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11347641347143516468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310925502688096396.post-670264071760485272008-06-19T15:51:00.000+10:002008-06-19T15:51:00.000+10:00erika, you worried me! you're grounded for not sa...erika, you worried me! you're grounded for not saying you were going to be away!<BR/><BR/>and, while i'm doling out consequences, that other mom really needs a talking too! i can't believe someone (and another mom, no less!) could be so incredibly thoughtless!!! if i were a fan of corporal punishment, i'd say she needs a serious spanking! poor n.w.b-sy. my heart hurts for him, as i'm sure yours does. big hugs to you both!<BR/><BR/>i've been storing up all the goodies you've been making and i'm hoping that i'll get my computer issues ironed out by this weekend so i can play. have i mentioned how much i hate vista, lol? keep your fingers crossed for me ...<BR/>:)<BR/><BR/>p.s.<BR/>tell the new company you'll have to work from home because you're grounded, lol! best of luck, sweetie!LVMommy22https://www.blogger.com/profile/08563020920796171455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310925502688096396.post-73689421833032492062008-06-19T12:36:00.000+10:002008-06-19T12:36:00.000+10:00I have a 3 yr old and a 1 yr old and I'm so not lo...I have a 3 yr old and a 1 yr old and I'm so not looking forward to things like this! I'm so sorry for your son! I hope it was a mistake. Be brave and talk to the mom! You can do it! Let us know what happens! If the mom doesn't have an explanation, there are a lot of crazy scrapper women who will take her down!Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12152298566669948643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310925502688096396.post-19217971085244963052008-06-19T12:09:00.000+10:002008-06-19T12:09:00.000+10:00Hehehe!!! YUP!!! MEEEE TOO!!! I was going to say t...Hehehe!!! YUP!!! MEEEE TOO!!! I was going to say the exact same thing that everyone else has already said here. It seems like it might have been a mistake or an oversight and the other Mom would probably feel terrible if it doesn't get straightened out and your sweet little man gets his feelings hurt because of a mistake or oversight that she has made! And if it was intentional then you and she are due for a nice chat about what the problem might be anyway. <BR/><BR/>Things like this are great learning experiences for kids too. Thomas will learn how to be brave and ask someone politely and non-threateningly if he has caused some type of problem for them when something like this happens to him in the future. That's such a wonderful thing to learn how to do. Because almost every time it will just be a mistake or a misunderstanding or an oversight - but taking personal responsibility for setting things straight is one of the marks of being a mature and honorable human being. It is a mark of valor. What a fine opportunity to help him learn these fine mature traits by watching you and how you handle the situation. <BR/><BR/>I'm so sorry this has happened and that you and Thomas and the rest of your family have had to go through this painful time - but I am hoping for a wonderful resolution full of renewed friendships and valuable life-lessons-taught! So sorry also that you are having to struggle with this work situation. Yuck. What a huge thing to have to decide upon, and what a lot to give up if you end up having to. That, on top of this party situation, is quite a burden for you right now! I am amazed that you were up to creating another of your fabulous overlays for us, thank you sooooooooo much - it is absolutely gorgeous!!! I am hoping all the best for you and your family!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310925502688096396.post-57731533176147405602008-06-19T05:29:00.000+10:002008-06-19T05:29:00.000+10:00Erika - poor Thomas - I really feel for him!

If it isn't a misunderstanding then that is just a horrible thing to do and I think you should give Thomas the best weekend EVER so that he has more to talk about on Monday than any of the kids at the party! BIG, BIG HUGS to you all.xxVickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10632243682430065621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310925502688096396.post-54485541833517297082008-06-19T03:24:00.000+10:002008-06-19T03:24:00.000+10:00Erika,Glad to see you back!

Go to this Mom ASAP and ask what happened. It could very well be a lost invitation or if it was an oral invitation, they thought it was mentioned to him or You. My fingers are crossed that is what you find out. Sometimes misunderstandings are only there because we forget to speak. Oh, and thanks for the overlay, its' beautiful.makeyesuphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07875573680240094891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310925502688096396.post-41884391097407574022008-06-18T22:20:00.000+10:002008-06-18T22:20:00.000+10:00Wow!

I would go to the mom and say "I'm sorry my son seems to think he wasn't invited to this party, and everyone else on the team was. Is this on purpose?" See what she says. At this point you already have other plans for him, but maybe it would get straightened out. When my childrens feelings are hurt the lioness comes out in me.
