She is driving me nuts...

One of my friends drives me nuts! She is an overzealous planner! I can't have fun planning things because I know I am ALWAYS going to have questions from her! I planned a last minute playgroup a few week ago...When I say last week I mean a weeks notice. It was a nice day so the plan was to meet at the soccer park with bikes and activites for outside play in which I listed my ideas. She left me an email two days before wanting to know what she should bring so I gave her some ideas. Granted there are eight families in the playgroup, she was the only one that didn't quite understand. The night before, she calls twice, once to know what everyone else is bring so she doesn't duplicate what they might bring. Whatever.

Tomorrow night is our mom's night out. I have been planning these the past couple of months. My friend and I really wanted to go the the Elephant Bar this time as opposed to the Bookstore. I am excited because about the whole group of moms will be there. It is a restaurant and bar, and two of our moms are pregnant with their fourth. This friend keeps emailing me questions, again! I am almost to the point were I just ignore her. I do enjoy hanging out with her because we do have a lot in common but man, she drives me nuts! What can I do?

Shannon, I feel your pain! I know a lady like this too. She will even go behind me and check prices of places I have already called. Very annoying!


I can tell you that I either give her a task to keep her busy or I tell her it is a surprise and to that she is to relax and enjoy herself. It does not always work...lol but the times it does are great!
