Frustrated

So I promised myself (and quietly to Triston) that today would be the day I would book his bday party. He has been talking about Jump!Zone so I was gonna go for it. I figured if I at least mentioned Grayson's condition maybe they could put in the notes not to book us alongside another party. If they can pull it off great, if not at least it was worth mentioning. Who am I to stop a business from making money? Not my intention at all.

But as I am talking to the lady I realize that there is the potential to be booked alongside two other parties and overlap at times. That is sooooo many people to expose G to. Not to mention that open play hours take place then too. My best options are a 9 am party on a Saturday or Sunday. I can't do that to families or ourselves. Not fair.

So as I hung up feeling frustrated I went to my email to distract myself from crying. I thought back to how difficult this whole concept of planning a happy day for my kids is thanks to leukemia.
Then I found this in my inbox:

I cried. I am not alone. I am not the only mom who has to deal with these same fears and frustrations. And honestly, there are TOO many of us out there.

Not fair.

My best option right now is to see if T is willing to have his party at Exploritorium again. They were abosolutely, amazingly understanding and cooperative WITHOUT my even asking them to be. They gave from their hearts before I could even say no. It is worth a try. I expressed my appreciation in several ways after the party last December and I am more than willing to give my money to a place that gets it. We shall see.

Sincerely,
Tired, frustrated with leukemia mommy
