July 2012 Weddings

Family visit....

So earlier this week I mentioned that my parents were coming for a short stay.
My mom and I went shopping with FMIL for their dresses on Thursday.  My mom actually bought something and she was actually pleasant.
This is the dress she bought:



I love it and she bought Nude heels to go with it. Awesome.
FMIL didn't try a single thing on.   I was exhausted by the end of it.

Friday evening my dad went to try on suits where our WP is buying them.  He has his heart set on a suit at the store that was rude to us but he agreed to at least look at the other store.  My mom right away started making negative comments about how the salesperson was fitting him so he had to buy it and what not. (noooo.. she was fitting him in case he decides to buy it and they live over 400 miles away so if they do buy this suit she can get everything going and FI and I can pay for it and everyone else can pay us back)... Anyways,   I got so angry I just told her " Mom there's a pharmacy in the mall go over there NOW your stressing me out... I'm serious... vamouch"   FI just had a smile on his face.

Saturday- They left that afternoon.  Awful for me to say so but I was a little relieved.  I brought out a beer for both FI and I (even though I'm not supposed to drink I think I deserved it).

I love my parents but after they left it looks like a hurricane went through my house. I was constantly following them and turning off all the lights, throwing out garbage they would just leave on the counter or placing dishes in the dishwasher.  They do NOT live like this when they are at home. I feel like they were at 'Chez Andrea and Tom's" and we were the hotel maids.  Just wait till I go back to my hometown...

Re: Family visit....

  • I love your mom's dress! At least you got a couple things checked off your list to do.  I completely understand how you feel about people coming over.  My friends come over and I feel like I'm picking up for a week after they leave because they make a mess.

  • that is so frustrating!!  *hugs*   Did he end up picking out the suit?
  • Nope, my parents can't make decisions.
    My dad doesn't know what he wants to do about his suit.. (umm kindda got to make up your mind soon so they can do the alterations... plus the sale ends on Saturday)
    My mom, I've been after her since January about whether she was going to get her hair done or at least blown out (she had shorter hair) and she was always on the fence and I made her give me an answer this week  because I had to confirm how many appointments I needed and she said no. and Then I asked her about make-up and she said she would think about it.  Made her give me an answer for that too she said no about that as well... Which btw I think she's nuts because of all the pictures that are going to be taken.

  • Oh her deadline came and went......
