Tell 'Em Tuesday

20pearls16

You know this is my favorite post of the week. We can't let the day go without it. Say what's on your mind, open letters, vents etc.....

Dear FI,

You are putting a damper on this wedding process by ALWAYS talking about the money. We are having a simple wedding. Any simpler we would be at the JOP. Just because it is small doesn't mean it can't be classy. I could see if you were actually paying for it, but I offered to foot the bill since you went all out on my E-ring. So shut the hell up and let's enjoy these last 40 days!!!! Dayum!

OK, I'm in!

Dear Hubby,

Thanks for writing a bunch of the thank you notes while I was at the salon!  It was a great surprise.  BUT...... it would have been nice if you would have taken a glance at the spreadsheet that was displayed on that 17 in monitor right beside the blank notes and seen that I was finished writing the ones for monetary gifts.  Yep, that template that you copied was for those only.  That's right, you're actually supposed to mention the exact gift people gave you in the personalized message.  So here's what we're going to do.  We're going to send those 14 you wrote to some of YOUR guests, seeing as how they probably won't know the difference anyway.  And from now on, I'll try to remember to be careful what I ask for.  You're still my baby though! 

Love,
Wifey

This has me DYIN over here girl!  Love this post!   

msteachme13

Oooo...I have neve done this before..so this should be fun. 

Dear FI,

Listen, I understand you want a small  intimate wedding....of 130. lol. I do too however, we cannot accomplish this if you are just letting your side invite whoever plus one! What is intimate about that?  At LEAST let's invite people we have met more than 5 times, and are seriously important to us. Tell you sweet dear grandmother to lock it up!  Also... You better be kidding about that your Pimp of an Uncle asking to give the prayer....You better be. 

Signed,

Seriously? Who the F&*% is that on the guest list? 

Dear Mother,

As your only girl and middle child,  I understand you are super super excited about my wedding. Thanks SO much. But I want you to understand this...It is MY wedding. Please do not try and relive your day through me. It will give me a headache. Other than that... Bring on the bellinis. 

Signed,

Your little twin...aka.. Daughter who does not need stress.

Dear Rude Friend of a Friend,

NO you cannot host my bachlorette, considering how you are concerned that my MOH might not be able to handle the financial pressure, given that she does not travel in the same "class circle" as you put it.  Ummm..... I"M SORRY????  I should have slapped you today at that brunch.#rude #get the F away from me.

Signed,

I WILL slap you if you say that again about my cousin. (smile)

msbdumas

Yes...Thank you Pearls ! Normally Sultry does it but she's out this week !!!

Ok...I dont have much but I do feel down in the slumps. My little cousin funeral was yesterday and then we have another one this weekend. IKR...just too much going on.

Last week, I sent out a text to my BM's I only have 3 and my MOH which is my little sister. The text was a pretty much get it in your minds in the next 2 months we will be going dress shopping, start looking at shoes, give me a budget for the shoes so I can look as well and so on. Only 2 out of the 3 responded..said Ooo..yayy, I can't wait, so and so. The one did not respond. I have been calling her, texting her. NOTHING. I posted a pic of some nails I did on FB. she gives me a like. Im like WTH ?! So im thinking of kicking her out the wedding. I even sent her text like "Hey, I havent heard from you, is everything ok ? Miss you ! still NOTHING. Ima give her a little more time..but if I dont hear something soon, she's OUT !!!

I'm in!

Dear FI,

I really need you to do what I ask you to do! I really dont ask for much just wash the dishes once or twice a week, put the toliet seat down and please please please stop leaving every single light in the house on! We can't be in every room at the same time and since I pay the light bill my pockets would appreciate it. And if you say your gonna give me some money on something don't let me have to ask five times for it, if you just give it to me I wouldn't have to get on your nerves about it. Also I really need those addresses that I have been asking you for. You keep playing around your momma and sister will be the only ones at the wedding on your side!

Signed,

Getittogether

Dear co-worker

I'm really tired of you only working 3 DAYS A WEEK! and getting paid like you be there errday! You always find some way to be off twice a week. Everybody knows you have no more personal, vaction, or sick time left! I don't get paid to do your job and mine. This is exactly why I don't speak to you! It's cool though I will be gone a week in a half in sept/oct and I think I will just let you figure that out once you see I'm not there. Oh yea by the way I have a ton of sick/personal time left for the year and I plan to use every minute!

Signed,

Annoyed by you

Oh this is fun...

Dear FMIL,
  I know you mean well when you say you want to help with the wedding. But I gave you one simple task on having my table runners made back in April  and I still don't have them. There were only 4 table runners needed and the material only needed to but cut and hemmed. I really would appreciate getting these back being as though I would like to do a mock up of my wedding table and all details need to be finalized in a month.

Yours Truly,
Your wonderfully patient FDL

Yes I'm in! Dear coworker, Yes its fine if you just hand me your rsvp at work. It doesn't matter that I had the invitation sent to your house and that the rsvp already has a stamp on it. I didn't want that .45 anyway. Sarcastically signed, Why couldn't you just drop the flipping card in the mailbox?! Dear mom, Thanks for reminding me that its been the two of us all these years and balling histerically about losing me, causing me to break down completely when I'm only moving 5 minutes away. Love, Mama's girl Dear dad, I did not ask you to rent a storage space for us. I was fine with storing our stuff in the garage until we got a house. You are the one who said we need it and you are the one who offered to pay the monthly bill, so please don't call me again talking about the price went up 10. Signed, Not my problem Dear wedding guest, Thanks for breaking down into tears and guilting me into giving you a plus one so you can bring your mother to the wedding. Signed, I just can't say no when there's tears involved

20pearls16

I'm sorry yall forgot one.

Dear Guests,

If I put a number one in your guest box please stop crossing the 1out and putting 2, 3 or 4! The 1 is in there for a reason. If you cannot come alone, then you can't come. I didn't even let my mama have a guest, so you know damn well you can't bring one either. 

Signed,

Dear Mama,

You know that I love you and I know you mean well, but this is my damned wedding and I would really appreciate it if you would stop counting my money for me especially since you are not paying for the wedding. And another thing, I really need you to stop suggesting that we get married in the Bishop's office and have a small reception at the house. Are you kidding me?!? Nobody said anything when you went all out for your THIRD wedding, so please give me the same kindness. This will be my first and only wedding and after finishing school, graduating college, obtaining gainful employment, purchasing my own home, and successfully breaking the cycle of single parenthood, I truly think that I am deserving of the wedding of my dreams.

Signed,
Your loving daughter

Thanks for doing this.. I love this post too..

I'm in...

Dear Future Husband,

Now you know this is my first week back to work since surg, I been off the last 7 weeks and you had all the time in the world to chat, why did you wake me up out my sleep last night to vent. Why didn't we talk about this before i went to bed. And why did you fall asleep in the middle of your vent leaving me hanging, tossing and turning.. i was tired all da$% day.. if you want to talk to tonight lets do it now, do not wake me up.. and Babe, you just seen me clean up the kitchen, why didn't you just put the dish in the dish washer, THERE ARE NO DISHES IN THE SINK... I still love you babe, just help a sistah out..

Yours truly,

bothered sleepy women


Dear potential BMs,

I know you received my BM card, do you know how long it took to make them? At least acknowledge that you received it, Dayum, you can tell me that you don't want to be in my wedding, you wouldn't hurt my feelings, just tell me..

annoyed

Dear Boss,

Can you please stop popping that dayum gum like that, we are in cubicles, you do not have a enclosed office area, also, can you please stop talking so dayum loud on the phone, i can hear everything, i know all your business.. And since when have popping bubble gum been appropriate in the corporate world, i don't remember learning that at our etiquette meeting...

Sincerely,
aggravated employee

msteachme13

One more....

Dear Parent,

I am so sorry that you have an overactive son. I told him repeatedly to sit down during snack. It is not our fault that that he was jumping up and down repeatedly, ran in 5 circles...ran into a door, and ricocheted off it. He got right back up and started laughing...and then proceeded to run again.  I did 100% all that I could by making sure he was ok, and there was NO brusing or crying afterward. Although, I am glad you understood and agreed...that he is a MESS.

Signed,

Get that under control

I have more time than you since HR messed up my days and owed my an extra 2 wks of vacay on top of the new vacay days I just received.  Just because of your antics I have officially taken off  a whole another week of vacay just so you can do my work.    I am tired of hearing how Stella (you) is trying to get her groove back, how you decrease you mortage by $400, and the other non factor things going on in your boring life.

I don't have time to drive across town in lunch traffic for this mess, then have you drive me back home! Hell, I'm glad I had some dayum sandwich meat yesterday, because if not, I would have been sh*t outta luck on lunch! Also, best friend, please stop texting me telling me you're "outside, come open the door." Bi@ch, I'm at work! I done told you to stop dropping by here in the middle of the day or right when you get off! You will be standing outside in the Texas heat! Keep playing with me!

Dear Hubby--

I know I thanked you last week for takin your time to drag your a$$ into the emergency room about that finger you "hurt" OVER a month and some change ago. only to find out that it was actually broken (like I had told you).. and you had to stay outta work for a week... but I wanna thank you AGAIN.. for really F*#$king up your finger (since you are so hardheaded and ALWAYS taking off your brace) and now you have to be home FOR A MONTH!.. WTH?! WHY don't you EVER listen to me when it comes to things like that?!.. On the other hand.. I do want to commend you on your weight loss journey.. you are looking even more delicious than you usually do (heyyyyyy sexxiiii ).

I also want to thank you for agreeing to drive me back home this weekend so I can spend time with my nephews.. and get a chance to relish in my sister's new house (whoop whoop)!.. Other than that.. if you could sit your but one place and stop tryin to crack crab legs getting "juices" all over your splint and using that as an excuse to take it off.. That would be AWESOME.

Signed,
