Plan? What Plan?

Today did not go as planned. It didn't go as planned one little bit. We had plans to go down for my nephew's birthday and then go visit my dad. Well, my brother lives above our mom's right now. So we went down and sat inside her living room. The birthday party was going to be there since his portion of the house is not that big and it wasn't warm enough outside to have it outside.

When Master and I got there I saw my brother's car but I didn't see him. My nephews ran downstairs and came to say hi. I gave my youngest nephew his birthday present. Apparently my brother was upstairs. Well, what the fuck? The part was supposed to start at 12:30pm and it was now almost 1pm. My nephews both ran back upstairs.

Next thing I know they run back down the stairs to say that they are going to Burger King. Um.... what?

So I go upstairs and his snobby ass bitch of a girlfriend is up there and so is her sister. As usual, I get the dirty looks they always toss my way. I ignore it and ask what my brother what is going on. "Oh, well my girlfriend thought it would be a better idea to go to Burger King for the birthday party."

Well, how nice for her. Nice last minute change after we show up. Needless to say it did not go over well. Burger King is literally right across the street, but I was already pissed off. I'll get into why in a moment. And since they decided to have it in the play room it was loud as fuck. As I said I was already ticked. And my nephews were running around in the maze thing. So I didn't even get to interact with them. My brother pretty much just sat there with his girlfriend and didn't say much. I think I stayed a whopping 15 minutes.

Oh yes, I know. I'm a horrible aunt. But seriously? I was getting a migraine, it wasn't even a party and I didn't get to see my nephews and I didn't want to just sit there and stare at my brother and his girlfriend. So I called my nephews down and said goodbye. I told my brother that the birthday boy's present was on Mom's kitchen counter and that he had already opened it.

Okay, so now to delve more into why I was pissed off. First, you tell people where the party is going to be and they are already there. You aren't even downstairs yet and are hiding up in your apartment. Then, you send my nephews down to tell us all that the party is moving over to Burger King. That was quite a shock to everyone, including my mother.

You see, my mother had already bought a cake, cupcakes and some other birthday stuff. She had cleaned her house top to bottom people she knew that a group of people were coming over. She had made sure that everything was set up had already ordered pizza to be sent. She did everything according to plan. This is what my brother had said he wanted.

But.. instead.. his girlfriend brings a cake and "hints" that the party would be better at Burger King. And he goes along with it. I had told him before he left to go over there that he needs to talk to Mom. I mean after all, she had bought a cake and other goodies and had ordered pizza. His response? Well, I'm sure someone will eat your cake and we can just eat the pizza later."

How fucking rude is that?

And then we ended up not going to my dad's afterward because he had said he wasn't up to it today. I understood, completely. I honestly did. But it was just another thing that was like, "Um.. okay? Guess that plan is out the window too."
