昼食会欠席 2013-03-13 16:13

Today there was a lunch party with some mothers of my son's friends, but I didn't join them. One of them, the organizer had sent me a mail to tell the date and place. I immediately told her that I'd be busy today, because I didn't feel like going. I think I was a bit impolite. I might have given the impression that I was standoffish, however I only said 'no' because I hate having so many things to do after having fun, but they probably wouldn't understand.
今日は息子の学校の友達のお母さん達との昼食会があったのですが欠席しました。皆さんとお話がしたくなかったわけではなく、帰宅後いっぱいやることがあると憂鬱になるからです。でもすぐにお断りしたことは、あまり良い印象を与えなかったかもしれません。
