Welcome back to high school! Ugh :-P

 I just need to vent, and it's really silly because this happened over two weeks ago and I'm still kinda irritated about it.

First of all, I have a total of three friends from high school that I still actively see and talk to.  Friend A is my "best" friend and lives about 3 hours away from our home town, Friend B just became a mom, and Friend C still lives with her mom and has no intention of moving out or getting in a relationship any time soon.  I also live two hours away from our home town, so when I go home with the baby I have to try to cram people in left and right and it's tough because out of the four of us, only certain ones of us still talk to the others.  Friend A and Friend B were best friends but lived together and had a falling out over friend A's boyfriend, followed by an even bigger falling out when Friend C's dad died (B thought A didn't react appropriately, whatever).  Well now friend B and friend C don't talk to each other either, they had a big falling out.  So I still talk to all of them, and A and C still talk to each other, neither of them talk to B but I relate to B the closest because we are both new moms.  Have I  lost you yet?

So a couple of weeks ago I found out that A and I were going to be in our hometown at the same time (B and C both still live there).  Since I have to see Friend B separate from everyone else, I wanted to try to get together with A and C at the same time.  I suggested it to A, she said okay, and I e-mailed C and said "Guess who's going to be in town at the same time as me, let's get together."  I suggested Saturday evening and C said that wouldn't work, so I suggested she come by when she got off of work on Sunday.  A and I made plans to hang out Saturday afternoon and evening (A's sister is best friends with my sister, so we were all going to hang out together).  I waited to call B until I was sure of when C was coming over.

So I am sitting around Saturday afternoon waiting on A and she didn't show up and didn't call.  Her sister showed up on time and tells me "Oh, well she's at the house with C, they are playing Wii."  A didn't come over until almost 8:00 and by that time DS was in full meltdown mode, so she only stayed for about an hour.  When I asked her what happened she said "Well, C called me and wanted to hang out and I asked her if we could all hang out together and she said she wanted to hang out with me alone."  Nevermind that she already had plans with me and C wouldnt' have even known she'd been in town if I hadn't suggested we all get together.  And A had plans with me and should have just told C she was welcome to join us (because she absolutely was), but she didn't.  Then A was supposed to come over Sunday morning to make up for our lost time, and she didn't show up till 1:15 and had to leave to go back to her place at 2:00.

Meanwhile, C texts me and says "Let's get together Monday instead."  So instead of coming when she could hang out for a long time, she picks a time when we can only spend about an hour together.  And the thing is, I go out of my way to make sure I make time to see her (especially since she and B's falling out is over the fact that B doesn't have time to hang out anymore).

All in all the only person that showed up when we agreed and spent a decent amount of time with me was B.  And to think I almost didnt' make time to see her because of the drama it would cause with A and C :-P

Yeah if you followed all of that, I'm really impressed.  I feel like I'm back in high school.  So stupid.  Am I being sensitive, or were A and C just rude and childish?
