Self High-Five!

[LeeAndra]

ICYMI, we moved to my hometown at the beginning of November. I FB messaged a couple of ladies that I knew to see if they wanted to get together with our kiddos for a playdate. One woman in particular has two daughters that are around the same age as my daughter and a son that is 4 months older than my son. Perfect, right?!

She had told me that she would get a hold of me after Thanksgiving to set something up. CRICKETS. I waited until the beginning of January to follow up with her and see if she & her kids would be interested in getting together. We discussed places to meet up & dates... and then CRICKETS again. It's now March, and I haven't heard a word in two months.

Back in the day, e.g. until, like, a year ago, I would have freaked out and tried to psychoanalyze every interaction we'd had with each other to figure out why she was mad at me, asked our mutual friend what she thought the issue was, etc.

Yanno what?!

I'm just letting it go. We haven't seen each other in person since 2007 and only had a handful of conversations since then so I'm confident that I didn't do or say anything to offend her. She's either too busy, not interested, or both... and that is okay. I'm not going to follow up, and I'm not going to worry. Our mutual friend babysits her kids on Thursday nights and posted a photo to FB so it reminded me of the whole situation again.

*self high five*

I'm growing up, ladies.
