should I text/call

The mom of one of Tman's classmates is supposed to be coming by today for coffee and to get to know each other.  I don't know her beyond a quick intro and a couple emails.  We originally planned on her coming over right after the boys were dropped off at school.  She called me on Tuesday asking if we could make it around noon because she had to do something this morning.  I told her that was fine.  Around 12:15, she sends me a text saying she's running late and asking for my address again.  I sent it and asked her if she needed directions.  I haven't heard from her since.  I know where her morning stuff was, and that's, at max, a half hour away.  Maybe I read too much into it, but it seemed that her text to me was indicating that she was on her way or was going to be soon.

I don't want to be pushy and send her a text/call, but really, what if she's lost or something?  I don't want her to feel like she's putting me out by because I'm not going anywhere anyway.  She, obviously, has my number and I offered her directions.

WWYD?

ETA:  I admit to being quite impatient, and typically have very low tolerance for someone not doing something when they say they are going to.

TTC #2 for a million years: SA normal, CD 23 bloodwork shows nothing amiss, ovulation detected. Next step: ? maybe CD3 bloodwork to check eggs? All out of pocket, so limited IF tests/treatments.

Re: should I text/call

  • i'd let it go. if she shows up, great.....she *might* have a legitimate excuse...if she doesn't (and doesn't call or text you), i wouldn't ask her to come by again... i'd just mention it the next time you see her "oh, we would've really liked to have you come by the other day... i prepared XX (something wonderful, that you not necessarily really did). i would've loved to share it with you, but instead i gave it to h's coworkers".

    me too!!!

    I might send a text that says, "just wondering when you'll be headed this way?" and maybe throw in something like..."I was going to make a quick run to the store from some "insert random thing, i.e. milk", and just wanted to be sure I wouldn't be gone when you got here" .......I realize that's a lie....but at least it doesn't sound pushy...and will get you your answer.

    I do, actually, have some home made bread AND home made blackberry/apple jam that I was going to whip out with some coffee, but I've already put it away.  When I thought she was going to be here around noon, I thought, being lunch time, she might be hungry, but now it's officially AFTER lunch time.

    I'm going to let it go.  I honestly don't care if she comes by or not.  I'm very awkward around new folks, but I feel like I have done my part in trying to get to know her.
