So I haven't been on these boards much lately. I've been stressing, just like the rest of you all!
My mom is my biggest support and my best friend. She would do anything for me and vice versa. If I had it my way, she would have been my MOH, but she claims she is too old. Pshh whatever!
But anyways, the last few weeks have been absolutely over the top stressful. I cannot wait for this wedding to be done and over with because 1) it means no more stress...or well, you know - no more wedding related stress. and 2) I will FINALLY get to see my fiance! ( I can barely hold my excitement on that one). The stressful things: My bridesmaids.
My MOH/FSIL has been the biggest sweetheart and I could not be more grateful for her. She has been planning everything for me. She goes with me and my mom to all of the meetings with vendors, planned a shower with her side of the family and planning bachelorette parties...which leads me to what is stressing me out. She has planned two bachelorette parties for me. Nothing crazy...one was a beach weekend with some wine at our apartment that evening. I was driving, so the girls didn't have to worry about the 2 hour drive. No one, not a single girl showed up. They picked the date we planned themselves and at the last minute (and when I say last minute, I mean within an hour or two before we left) they backed out. I met up with said MOH/FSIL anyways and we had a blast! The second was a small trip. The girls suggested said location themselves because they swore it would be a great time and they wanted more of a "party" than the beach and wine weekend. FMIL paid for our hotel and FSIL was going to drive, so once again, money really shouldn't have been an issue. Once more, no one showed up. One girl actually said a couple days before..."It's my mom's wedding, sorry i can't come now." Really?? You didn't know your mom was getting married in two days?
So ( I am almost done with this little rant), I had my first shower yesterday, planned by finaces family. One of my bridesmaids came! Never thought the day would come
On the way there, she asked me.."So, are you having a bach party?! I'm ready for a party!" Umm...really? REALLY?
And the worst part...my mom's health. I am in the hospital for the night with her. She had surgery today and they are trying to nurse her back to health now. She was so out of it from the pain and drugs they had her on. I have never seen her like this. When they finally brought her out of recovery, I started crying. As many of you know, seeing your mother - or either of you parents for that matter - in pain like that is just down right awful.
Please send your thoughts and prayers to my mom for the next couple days as she recovers from surgery. Thanks for listening to my rant! I needed it
