am i being a biotch?

ok so my dad wanted to have some pics taken of him and Bennett (he never is in pics and he wanted some nice ones with his grandson). we had a girl that i went to HS with do his pics at about 8 months and they were amazing. she's very talented. so i contacted her and she's going to take his pics today. she lives out of town (about 2-3 hours i think) and i was flexible and said "whenever you plan on coming down, i don't want you to make a special trip", etc. i mean, my dad is paying her full price so it's not like i get a deal.

so, today is when the pics are schedule and it worked out really well bc i have the day off and my dad was able to get off work in the afternoon. i scheduled an afternoon time so she didnt have to come down the night before.

i get an email at 9am this morning saying they had snow/ice last night and their power is out...so her morning routine (she has 2 boys) has been thrown off and she doesnt know what the roads are and can we reschedule? ok..seirously? darnit! i emailed her back and said of course i don't want her to endanger her kids...but for me, i'm not sure about rescheduling. i had bennett out of daycare already, i had the day off, my dad has the day off, etc. i nicely said, can you check the roads and get back to me? we r available all afternoon in case she was worried about gettin here in time.

was that the wrong thing to do? should i hav ejust said ok let's reschedule?

Re: am i being a biotch?

  • I don't think it is bitchy.  I mean sure the roads are bad in the morning.  But as the day goes on, as long as it has stopped snowing/icing, the roads will have improved.  I don't think it asking too much for her to check the roads condition later before ruling the appointment out completely. 

    Hopefully she'll be able to make it.  

  • meh, this is all null and void...i told her we'd reschedule. i can't make the decision to have her drive and then if something happened, i'd feel horrible. grrr i hate winter!

  • i think it's fine to let her know you're willing to play it by ear. it is an inconvenience if it doesn't work out, but in the end you can't plan for weather so i would try to be understanding. i would probably try to reschedule since you were so happy with the originals.
    Me:39 Dx LPD, Fibroid, AMA and all that goes with that. H:37 Dx low motility and low morphology. TTC since 3/12. Clomid 8/12 and 9/12: BFN. 11/12 on a break for Myomectomy sched. 11/26. Resume TTC early 2013.
  • I see that its a mute point now but I would let her know you where ok with playing by ear for today. However I would have told her that you were uncertain that you wuold be able to reshcedule for a future date.
