Jimmy, won't you lose my number?

I have definite 'issues'. I was subbing for Sunday school today when my phone rang. I grabbed it because Dave had the littles and it might have been him. Also, issue #1, I find it impossible to NOT answer a ringing phone. So I grab it and do not recognize the number. A 'normal' person would have let it go, but no, not I. I answer and it's this woman. Let's call her Ann Oying. She recently moved to this area and doesn't know many people. Her daughter knows Sarah but they are not friends. She has asked casually to get the girls together but Sarah has NO interest. I also see her at the Y and try to be friendly.
Ann called me the other day to get info on Sarah's cheer gym, her daughter wants to take tumbling. So I told her everything, gave her a number, gave her a url, etc. etc. We were on the phone for 30 minutes. Well, she got LOST driving there today and thought she would call me on my cell to get directions! She asked if I was busy and when I answered, 'yep, I am teaching Sunday school' proceeds to ask me for directions for 5 minutes! So what's the real problem? I am now worried that I wasn't as friendly as I might have been on the phone and I may have made her feel bad.
Explain that one!
