WTF Wednesday!!!

Please feel free to vent here =)

Happy Hump Day!

Re: WTF Wednesday!!!

  • Is it WTF Wednesday already? I feel like we just had one!  I'm glad time is running so fast :P

    I don't really have any WTFs... just that I'm exhausted. All the time. I'm tired of working. Tired of going home and working out every day. Just tired. I need a honeymoon!

    Today is our rsvp date and we still have 34 people to respond which is about 16 more response cards.  I don't understand why it is so difficult for people to respond!!

  • 3.5 more miserable weeks at my current sh*tty job.  It seriously can't go by fast enough.

    I'm tired.  Really tired.  FI and I have spent HOURS painting and cleaning and making trips to Lowes and Home Depot.  I'm over it already.  I wish we had the money to pay someone to do this for us.

    My last personal trainer session is tomorrow and I'm so sad about it.  We've gotten to be friends over this past year and I'm going to miss him kicking my ass every week.

    First world problems.

  • Im about to unleash my inner bridezilla on my ring bearer and flower girls parents. No RSVP card and it's been almost a week since. I called them last week about rehersal dinner stuff and had to leave a voicemail and no response. So I tried emailing the mother at work, again no response. My mom just sent her an email and got an out of office until next Wednesday. I've spent almost 200 on the daughter and another 100 on the boy. The boy still hadn't been fitted yet for a tuxedo and they need that ASAP and the mother has known for months about it. I'm so pissed off. And my mom isn't helping since she has the lady's cell number but is like I'll try and call her later. Ughhhhhh oh and my florist and caterer are breathing down my neck about table numbers and head count. I'm wondering at this point if they are even coming or not. I'm about ready to cry or scream. Is it time to leave work yet and sit by my pool with a cooler of beer and tequila?

    After calming down over my little rehearsal dinner freak out yesterday, the only think I have to WTF about today is RSVPs.  They're due back Friday, and I'm still missing 89.  After reading everyone's comments about rsvps, I thought, "My family and friends won't be like that; they'll get them in".  WRONG!  Even one of the girls who just got married last year and was dealing with all this hasn't sent hers in yet.

    On a happy note though, talked to FI (who's been out of town since the 8th) last night and he really calmed me down about RD. He knew how upset I had gotten myself and called this morning.  It makes the day seem so much brighter :-)
  • My WTF today is I am sooooo sick of work!! Only 16 more work days at this shitty job (and I am taking two of them off!!) I can not wait...

    My other WTF is my FI's Brother is seriously driving me Nutso!! I have been with FI for almost 3 years and have met this guy maybe 5 times (and he only lives 20 minutes away from us). He called up FFIL on Sunday and started venting about how he didn't think he was in the weding party anymore, and how I am a mean and awful person. I don't even know the guy. Yesterday FI got ahold of him, and he has agreed to be in the wedding party for his brother, but hadn't gotten the e-mail about tux's (which is BS because he responded to it!) he'll try to do that today, but he's only doing it for FI beause he and I don't get along. WTF is this guys problem, I betcha he doesn't even know my last name, let alone ANYTHNG about me!! ERG it just frustreated the heck out of me...

  • Oh - I lied.  I thought of something else:

    Neighbor across the street has 4 little dogs that bark constantly when they're outside.  He let them out this morning at 5.30, and they did not stop yipping until he let them in again at 6.30.  So much for sleeping in until 6.45.

    It ridiculous - sometimes they'll be out there at 1 in the morning, barking.  How does that not annoy the owner?!
  • Why does it take three weeks for vendors to respond to me lately?? I know this is their busy time of year, but my wedding is under a month, I kinda need them be in touch with me right now and not go hiding.

    Right now I'm waiting for the DJ to get back to me regarding scheduling our final meeting (was supposed to be at the one month mark), waiting to hear about logistics for delivering the wines to the reception from our caterer, waiting for the Reverends to agree to our readings / programs, and waiting for the florist to give me her deliver times so I can factor this into my day-of timeline for my photographer. ARRRG.

    My WTF is also RSVP related - We're still down 23 people a week after RSVPs were due.  I've contacted my friends who haven't RSVP'd but both my Mom and FI are both refusing to talk to people!  My mom said she 'feels bad' about confronting people!  I've sicked my grandma on some of the people since my mom won't do it.  And FI is the worst!  He knows how much this is annoying me and is still not doing anything about getting a hold of his friends who haven't RSVP'd.  I just want to know what's going on!!!!

    We're also struggling picking entrance songs and last dance songs and FI and FMIL are going back and forth on their first dance song.  I hate these little details.  FI told me last night he's sick of the wedding and just wants it to be over so I stop pestering him.  Made me feel real bad...

    Edit: Katie - Talk to your neighbor and if it continues call the police.  It's a noise violation and you shouldn't have to deal with it.  Sound harsh but if he won't work with you then you've gotta do something for your sanity!

  • It's 100 degrees in my classroom right now. Ugh I am hot and sweaty and do not want to be here another second. The kiddies are being suprisingly good at least, but I cannot deal with this heat!

    What?!? are you kidding... what kind of friend is this?

    My WTF is that my body is having a bad reaction to the wedding stress... and to be honest i dont even feel that stresses on the inside... but on the outside i am having 14 hr long dizzy spells, the shakes, heart palpatation for 30 min at a time and night sweats... And i went to the doctors and they said i checked out fine... so apparently it's just me. poo.
    Anniversary
  • ugh. My WTF is the same that it has been for weeks now. Wedding planning, buying a house, dealing with dramatic friends, packing for our big move, work, and staying healthy is too much for me. I have had a few breakdowns and can hardly stand it.

    I had a meeting with our wedding planner this morning and that calmed me down. She is amazing and helped me with tying in lots of our details, room arrangements, linen coordination, uplighting, etc., and I feel better about the day itself. But I am still freaking out about when I am going to pack between now and June 30th (our moving day). I HAVE NO TIME!! Maybe if I don't sleep betwee now and the wedding, I will have enough time in the day to get everything done. 

    Oh, and this is a real WTF. I made crockpot turkey chili yesterday and it was amazing. After fiance and I were done eating it, I put the leftovers into four tupperwares and left them out to cool a little before I put it in the fridge. I woke up this morning and discovered I had left the tupperwares out ALL. NIGHT. WTF!!! I let four meals worth of deliciousness get ruined. UGH.

    This is scary, please try to relax. Wedding planning is not worth your health. At the end of the day you are marrying your best friend and enjoying a party afterwards. There really is no need for us to stress as much as we all do.

  • 22 days to go and I feel like there are a million DIY projects to go! And I still have to find a job. And move to FI's house. And rent out my house. Completely freaking out!

    Bummer about your turkey chili! This happens to me occasionally and it sucks balls. About your move, can anyone help you pack up your belongings? Friends, family? Try packing one room at a time. Have a glass of wine or listen to music while you pack if either will help you relax!

    That's ridiculous. I wonder if it's a jealousy issue. Before FI and you got together - did he and his brother bro out a lot - and now he doesn't get to see his brother as much? I pretty much attribute all family issues to jealousy..one way or another:p

    My WTF is exhaustion. Clinical this week - four 10 hour days...two down, two more to go and repeat for next week. :-\

    I know totally scary... and like i said i dont feel that stressed about it, like i thought i was doing  pretty well but now it's apparently coming out in all these non controlable ways. Today i cut out caffine (poo... :(.. ) and that seemed to help a little. And i feel bad but a friend of mine is having a bridal shower tomorrow night (i already attended one of hers a month or so back) but i feel bad cause i am not going to this one because i just feel like i cant deal with anything more wedding.... But i didn't even want the big wedding, i asked FI if we could do a small desination wedding but his fami is too big and they have too many social obligations blah, blah and i do understand where they are coming from... i should have just let his family plan the whole thing and just showed up on the day eh? :)

    <div>No, him and his brother have never been close. I think its wedding jealousy (though I didn't think guys got that as much as us girls do...) When I first met FI his brother was engaged (to this girl I've never met at all) and they were "planning" their wedding. Then they put it on hold indefinitely,and my FI and I got engaged, and immediately started seriously planning.... I think he is jealous that we are getting married first even though he was engaged first... which is totally silly, but whatever... </div><div>As long as he shows up on the day of the wedding, in his tux, and isnt an idiot, I am so over dealing with him!!! </div>

  • My WTF My FFIL friends don't believe in RSVP. We are already at maxed capacity. FI is trying to reason with his parents about the guestlist and their response was it was rude to ask if ppl were going to show up. Btw their guestlist is 38 ppl in our 160 maxed list. And they are still complaining that it's not enough. They are inviting ppl they haven't seen in 10 yrs that live in the same city!
