insomnia again
I went to bed around 8:30 and woke up about an hour later. I lay in bed reading--sometimes that helps me fall asleep. No luck. So I figured I'd update. As far as the party goes, I've only got 16 confirmations out of the 38 I've invited and eight of that number has to come, since they are family and myself. I'm not inviting any of my siblings or their family--I don't think they'd want to come. I did give the RSVP date for next Friday. But the closer the date comes and the longer people wait, the more worried I get that the answer will be no. *sighs* At least my immediate family and friends are coming. We still have to order the food, but I'll wait to see how many are actually coming. And we still need to find a place to rent the karaoke machine.
I remember when I was in 7th grade and this kid in one of my classes invited me to his birthday party. I didn't really know him, so didn't feel comfortable saying yes. Later I asked him how his party went. He told me that only one person showed up. I felt so bad and wished that I did say yes. I'm sure he's forgotten about it. But to this day, I still feel bad for what I did. I don't think I would feel as bad if I actually had a good reason to not go, like if I were busy or something.
On a different note, B tells me that his youngest cousin has just been betrothed. The wedding won't take place until sometime next summer. We will try to attend. Next year is also B's sister's 10th wedding anniversary. B's parents want to take the girls along with my kids to DisneyLand so the happy couple can celebrate in peace. Darn... My body is so tired but my brain still isn't sleepy, but have nothing more to write. Maybe I'll try reading again.
