Ok, so apparently way back at the beginning of the year, I tossed around the idea with my sister in law of me driving out to Atlanta this weekend. I even went ahead and scheduled two vacation days for it. But then... I forgot. Because, honestly, my brain is made of swiss cheese. I didn't even remember I had a four day weekend this weekend until today.

But, I'm thinking that my brother and his wife must've forgotten too, cause they haven't mentioned it! Not one message saying, "When are you leaving?" or "What time do you think you'll be here?" Nothin.

I'm really hoping they forgot which means I don't have to feel bad about having forgotten. But, if they didn't forget, then I'm like the worst sister ever! What if they made plans? I always make these elaborate plans when people are coming to visit me - stuff to do while they're here and so on - and I ask for itineraries and make sure numbers are exchanged so if something comes up calls can be made. The lack of communication about this leads me to believe that it was forgotten, but maybe they're just not as OCD about that kind of thing as I am and they're gonna be sitting there all day tomorrow wondering when I'm arriving. Which means I should call or send a message saying I'm not coming - cause I'm not. I forgot about it and didn't save any money for a trip like that - but if they did forget, I don't want to remind them!

What should I do?

Call and ask what they're doing those days and see if they remember?

Just ask them if they're still open for a visit this weekend.

If not, I'd say come visit me, but I'm busy this weekend =(

But, if they did forget, and I remind them and they're all like, "Oh yeah! That'll be great!" Then I have to say, "No it won't, cause I can't come. I forgot about it too and didn't save any money for the gas it'll take to get there and back."

Then it's like, wow, let down.

Just be like Fonzy. What is Fonzy like?

Are you talkin bout this guy? Fonzie

Eyyyy

Is there another one I don't know about?

Well, if they've forgotten, and you remind them, then tell them you can't come, it wouldn't be so bad because they wouldn't have been expecting you/prepared anything anyway!

Ah, I sent a message explaining why I can't come and expressing my hopes they had forgotten it and apologizing for not coming if they had remembered.

Making a thread was prolly an overreaction! I was in a tizzy about being so silly and forgetful though.


eta: They had forgotten! My brother is out at his deer camp fixing the roof on the cabin this weekend!

My advice: Save more money so you're always prepared
