Here we go again!! We met my coworker and her friend who is visiting from out of town for drinks last night after work. She and I walked over after work and her friend was already there and my husband showed up about 20 minutes later. She invited us over for Christmas Eve and H and her friend got on quite well. Well we stayed at this pub until about 8:30 and then took off to walk to our separate cars. H was parked the closest so he was in his car and on his way out as we were still walking to our cars. He drives slowly down the alley and opens his window and says "I was thinking we should have these guys over tomorrow night for dinner since he's leaving on Friday". Are you kidding me???!!! Not a word to me about this until now, right in front of them. If he had driven the other way down the alley, he never would have mentioned it. That was totally putting me on the spot! What am I supposed to say to that when my friend/coworker is standing right there other than "Um, okay."? Even they were like "Um, if you're okay with that". As he drives away my coworker goes "He's something isn't he." Yup, that's one word for it! So 22 hours from then we are to have 2 people over for dinner. I need to clean the house, I need to buy food and drink to feed them and I'm not going to be getting home until 9PM and need to get to bed so I'm certainly not going to be doing any of that tonight. Then I have to work all day tomorrow until 4PM, then go to the grocery store which won't get me home until about 5:30 and then I need to clean the house and prep food in order to be ready to have them over at 6:30?? I was livid! I get home last night and I say to him "So what are we going to feed them?" He goes "I don't know. We've got to eat up that split pea soup I made". You're kidding right? You ask them to come over for dinner and you see nothing wrong with simply serving up a bowl of soup you made 5 days ago and that's it?? He's like "Well yeah, I don't see what the big deal is." Oh my god! Then when he said we should have them for dinner they said they had planned on going to an Indian restaurant but they can come to our place instead. He then goes "Well you can go there and then come over afterwards." You JUST asked them over for dinner and then tell them to go have dinner and come over after, which wouldn't be until like 9PM! Then he said "Or you could go have lunch there and then come over for dinner." Geez! You ask them for dinner and then it gets all convoluted.

I'm super irritated. I now have to leave work early today in order to get everything done. Meanwhile H isn't even going to be home until 7PM, but he told them to come over at 6:30! I'm tired and have a headache because I don't think I slept more than 4 hours last night, probably because I was so upset about tonight. I have other things I'd like to get done tonight, but guess those are all put on hold. If I tell H I'm upset he did this he'll go "What is the big deal? We're just having them over for a couple of hours." The BIG DEAL is that you never even consulted me on this. The BIG DEAL is that I have to leave work early and rush around and get things and prep them. She's MY coworker and friend, but yet you took the liberty to ask her over!
