NWR: Cowboys VS. Mickey Mouse

Hey ladies since its a slow day I thought I would share with you a secret that I have been dying to vent about but have not been able to IRL. Sunday we went over to FIL's for football and dinner. (normally I use football time as my alone time, but I really wanted to go over and say hello to everyone) While we are there FMIL pulls me aside and says.. "I know its your birthday weekend but we got Ryan this awesome weekend ticket package to go see a Cowboys game. I just wanted to tell you so you could keep the weekend open. I know that you hate football but I don't want to pay for anyone else to go." Conversation over.. So in about 20 seconds my birthday plans got ruined.. DF and I had planned on going to Disneyland (the same thing we have done for my past 2 birthdays, and something I have done for at least 15 birthdays it is totally my "thing" I look forward to it all year) So yes I am super excited for DF to get this awesome trip, I know he will be in 7th Heaven, not only do we get to go to the game, but the package includes a tour of the new stadium, a pre-game tailgate pass, and a autograph session. It has been so hard when DF brings up our disneyland trip, I just keep smiling and nodding.. Note to FMIL: I am the worst at keeping secrets, I wish you would not have told me first. I hate football, I hate being cold, and I hate that the Cowboys beat Mickey Mouse. Margaritas to everyone who finished this!

  • OMG I would be so hurt for her doing that.  ESpecially this year when the whole thing is about celebrating.  She should have asked if you had plans for your birthday weekend before stepping on them.  Sorry that happened to you.  :::hugs:::
  • Oh man that totally blows :( I would be so upset if my FMIL did that to me. I hope they take some time that weekend to do something YOU want! I'm sorry Marci.
  • UGH! I'm so sorry :-(  That's awful that you are getting stuck going to the football game and your birthday plans are in the toilet.::HUGS::

  • Your FMIL is a total turd for doing that!  She should have checked with you first, since it IS your birthday.  Maybe, just MAYBE, you guys might have already planned something.  EESH!How about doing Disney with a group of your friends or siblings?  That way you won't have to miss out on your tradition and your FI still gets to see his stinkin Cowboys.  lol  *HUG*
  • Why can't you go to Disney another weekend?  I'm sorry, she totally should have checked with you.Quick question, why would you be cold in Dallas?  It sounds totally awesome to me and I bet you still have a good time.  I hate hockey but have fun at the games.  People watching is enough to keep me occupied.  Or like someone else suggested, go to Disney with a friend and have FI take a friend to Dallas.
  • Thanks ladies for all your support! I know I sounded like a brat, but I swear I will go and have a great time, and wont complain to DF at all because I know how happy it will make him. Why can't you go to Disney another weekend? - I would love to but, both of our bdays are in December and with the holidays and work and the wedding coming up that 4 day weekend was the only free weekend we both had. (Plus you get in free on your bday and using my cousins free passes we would have been able to stay for 3 days and only buy one 1 day pass) Quick question, why would you be cold in Dallas?- BC I am from southern AZ. Our winter consists of flip flops and sweatshirts. Anything below 70 is cold to me. It sounds totally awesome to me and I bet you still have a good time.- DF and I always have a great time together so yes, it will be fun. Or like someone else suggested, go to Disney with a friend and have FI take a friend to Dallas.- I would love to do this, and even suggested to FMIL that Ryan take a friend who would be just as excited as he is and she told me she didn't want to pay for anyone else. I also said she should go with him so they could spend some time together and she is also a big football fan but she just started a new job and cant take time off that soon. Even if it was possible for us to take separate trips I wont ask any of my friends to spend the extra money and take time off work for another trip. They are already saving and being so supportive of our DW and our jack and jill party in Vegas.
  • Also even if FMIL had asked me before she bought the tickets, I still would not have said anything. I know how much this will mean to DF and I would never take that away from him.
  • I don't think you're being a brat.  I would be super disappointed and HATE when my plans get screwed up.  However for me, football (not the Cowboys though) beats Mickey Mouse's tush anyday ;)
