Telling someone that you have a prior working engagement would be honest, and it would also be respectful of your gal's feelings. If you feel like you have to give such details, then I'd agree with the "jerk" assessment.
EP, here is your answer.
A wise man knows how to present things to people so they know just what you want them to know. You must have never had kids. When a kid asks you "Where Babies come from" they only need to hear the bare basics not the whole details.
People and girlfriends are the same. You just needed to tell her "Baby, I'd love to join you but crap, I've got too work all day"
"Ooh, sorry. I'm busy Sunday. How about [day that it's good for you]?"
THEN SHUT UP. If you've only been dating a little while and you are not exclusive, you don't need to get into all of the gory details.

You were looking for trouble.
I frequently lack tact in my directness, but I do try to never hurt someone with the truth. What you did, OP, was to take the truth and use it like a bat. You hit her with the truth.
Lol Ep, from how you seem to not accept the commenters advice on tact, i say you ARE being a jerk. Oh well girls find jerks hot, keep at it.
she called me last night and said good luck with everythign and wed have to do something during hte week.
just as i expected everything to happen
