    I think you pretty much sold why you shouldnt go!

    To be really honest i think thats a fair way to travel for somebody who you don't know very well.

    I attended a wedding when i was 18 weeks pregnant, i still had morning sickness and was really tired and i went and just sat there pretty much. I couldn't eat anything, everyone else was having fun as they had an open bar and all i drank was juice as thats all i could stomach! while sitting at the reception i kept thinking "i want to go home to bed.."

    yes, and it's hard. DH never goes to or takes DD to parties, even if I'm going. It's tiring. Esp working full time. I've often been tempted to call and say DD is sick...

    Yeah, I'm the same - we are terrible for feeling obliged to go to things.

    Can you say that one of the kids is sick maybe?

    Did you end up going Leesa??

    I know that feeling... and I've often told a couple of white lies to get my way out.
    I never say that DD, or DS is sick. As I worry it'll jinx me and I really don't want them to get ill.
    Soo... I normally say the I"M not well. hehehehe.

    i feel like this all the time about social events. i was actually beginning to think that there is something wrong with me as i have become such a party pooper! it is hard because you get invited to so many things that it starts to dominate your time.
    did you end up going? i hope you got some rest today xoxo
