Morning ladies!! Let's hear your confessions and vents!!

pedulaney · June 2012

Confession:
I opened at the daycare today...at 6:00 this morning. I usually don't have any kids for another hour yet so instead of doing extra cleaning I am looking at pretty wedding things!

Vent:
I finally decided on a bridal party and asked them this last weekend. I asked my sister to be MOH, friend and two FSIL's to be BM's. I still have two other older sisters, and by older I mean like 17 and 21 years older. I didn't ask them to be in the BP and I hope they aren't too upset. Really, we're not close and I was hoping to ask them to do a reading or something. :S Hope they aren't too upset.

Mine is both a confession and a vent. I am really disappointed in my experience with dress shopping this past weekend. One of the stores I went to was really nice and very highly recommended around here, and they were great, but they only pulled me 6 dresses, and I just felt like they werent really getting what I was looking for. They did put me in one dress that from the waist up it was everything I wanted, but I really didnt like the bottom of the dress. The second store was horrible. It was like a free for all, you pick out your dresses, the fitting rooms were really dirty, and they didnt even have full length mirrors in the dressing rooms wtf? It was another store that was highly recommended by my local board, I just really dont understand how it was though. I made another appointment at a different store for Monday, so I really hope I find the one.

Sparkles - I hope you have a better experience on Monday!

Vent: I've been so tired this week, ever since we came back from our camping/race thing this weekend I have been trying to catch on sleep, but I always find "important" things to do instead of going to bed. Which leads me to my

Confession: Last night I didn't go to bed until later because I was catching up on the Bachelorette episode. I think I've mentioned a few threads back that I love some mindless TV once in a while, but sometimes I literally feel like my brain cells are dying while I'm watching it.

n3rdl3t · June 2012

Confession: I plan to spend most of today at work on theknot

Vent: After 2 and a half years of being together I STILL have not met any of my FI's family. When we were just dating before, he said his family is the kind who don't really care who he's dating and they'd only want to meet me when we become more serious. I can understand that I guess, but hey look! We got more serious. I'm just really frustrated that he hasn't even mentioned introducing me to them. IDK, maybe I'm overreacting.. his family is going through a lot of stuff right now (parents are going through a divorce and his sister is pregnant with her first child) and I'm trying not to be selfish, but it just feels like either a) they don't care or b) he is hiding me for some reason.

Have you tried talking to your FI about it? Maybe he is just the type of person who doesn't have a really close relationshp with his family and that's why he hasn't really made an effort to introduce you? I would totally feel the same way as you, but I'd try to talk to him and at least get an idea of why he hasn't introduced you guys yet.

Miss Esa · June 2012

I have to go with the vent first, otherwise the confession is lost...

Vent: I was stuck in traffic this morning, and an elderly man in a POS “in home cleaning” van was dodging in and out of other cars, all while going UNDER the speed limit. I was stuck behind him for a bit, and as soon as he changed lanes I hit the gas. Well, or course he decided he wanted to change lanes again, so he did. No turn signal, nothing. He would have taken out the entire front end of my car if I hadn’t slammed on the brakes. I didn’t honk, because he was so old and I thought he might have a heart attack or something, but he did notice that I rolled my eyes at him. He started flipping out! He was throwing his arms all over the place and I assume he was yelling. When there was a break in traffic, I hit the other lane and took off. He hit the horn for no reason and let it drag on.

Confession: I switched lanes right in front of him and hit the brakes.

emilyb213 · June 2012

N3rd, does his family live near you guys? Have you guys talked about it since you got engaged? I'd definitely be revisiting this with him.

Sparkles, hope Monday's dress shopping goes better (and seriously, who owns a bridal salon without full length mirrors?!).

Confession: My allergies are rampaging today and rendering me totally useless at work. I should have stayed in bed.

Vent: The woman who sits in the cubicle diagonally from mine is on the phone on personal calls constantly throughout the day. So far this morning, I've heard about how she forgot to put her flag out for Flag Day, she's made arrangements with her brother to go visit their mom, and she's discussed her daughter's stool samples. Seriously. I'm close to throwing office supplies at her over the cube wall.

n3rdl3t · June 2012

I've brought it up multiple time prior to being engaged and that it bothers me that I haven't met them yet, so I have been trying to give it some breathing room for him since we've only been engaged for about a month now..

And yes, they are local

MandiNewMommy · June 2012

Confession: I was running super late this morn (just couldnt get out of bed) I went 85 on the highway and ran a red light. Opps! Glad no cops around this morn!

Vent: My family had a really hard time with me getting married again after the loss of my husband (everyone loved him) They did not think that FI would stay around. I have always been super close with my family but even sence all this I am not. We still see them but it is just dif now. It really hurts that my mom hasnt helped with anything and I am not even sure she know what day we were getting married. We just dont talk about it. This week I txted her and said just wanted to let you know that I got the place for the wedding. She asked what wedding...REALLY?!? Like I said I am just really hurt by the whole thing. I dont feel that things with my family will ever be the same now.

cnhelbert · June 2012

Confession: I spend almost the entire day yesterday catching up on Game of Thrones episodes and on the knot. It was awesome!

Vent: I emailed FMIL twice in the past month about wedding details and guest list questions and have never heard back from her! Also emailed my photographer 10 days ago about booking her and putting down the deposit and I haven't heard back from her either.

MissHSoonToBeMrsS · June 2012

Confession: I am STILL being a lazy bum. For example, I just laid in bed the last two hours, eating Rice Krispies and watching "What a Girl Wants". I know there are things I could be doing around home, but I just don't feel like it!

Vent: This is NWR...but FI's job is driving me nuts! This week he is working about 45 minutes from home. I was excited thinking we would be able to spend more time together. Well he is leaving the house at 6:30 a.m. and not getting home until around 10 or 11! I totally appreciate that he is a hardworker, but this schedule sucks!

rmp4996 · June 2012

MrsK- So jealous that you are going to Nicki Minaj! Wish I could take you FI place!

Sparkles- Sorry you haven't enjoyed wedding dress shopping, I hope it gets better for you. Hang in there and don't settle.

Sorry to your girls having trouble with mom's and FMIL's, that is really sucky. My FMIL is ok most of the time, she doesn't seem too interested in the wedding really, but it is early. I have asked her to do something ewdding related in the upcoming weeks, we'll see if I have to pull teeth to get it done.

N3- I would feel just like you. Give it a littlemore time like you said, and then I would really push to meet them or for him to give a more vaild reason why you havn't yet.

Confession: I am watching Love In The Wild on demand- I too love me some mindless TV every now and then (I also enjoy Teen mom, on at 1:30ish, RHOOC, RHONJ, and RHONY, and I hate to admit it, Kardashians every now and then.)

Vent: So, when we booked our venue, we booked with this girl Sam who we loved and was supposed to be with us till the wedding and the whole night of. Then, she got a new job and left. So we got Eric, fine. He was ok, again expected him to be there the whole time. Well, i e-mail him, and 3 days later get an email from Bill saying Eric is no longer there and Bill has his appts. WTF? I just met Bill last night, I don't LOVE him but don't hate him either. I seems ok with him, but he was kinda all over the place, didn't know anything at all about my wedding (it is only his 2nd wk there), and just didn't seem as interested as the other 2. Towards the end he warmed up a bit, and FI really warned me to curb my bitchiness or he wouldn't come to any more meetings, so I'm giving the guy a break. But I'm a little uneasy about how it keeps changing, and this new guy doesn't know us well yet.It worries me a bit why the staff keeps changing. I am 100% getting a day of coordinator now because I need someone there who know exactly what I want.

cnf2013 · June 2012

Sparkles, good luck on Monday!

N3rd, it's super weird that you haven't met his family yet. I would definitely say something to him.

Mandi, I really your family comes around on you remarrying. You should be allowed to find happiness and love again and they need to be more supportive of that.

MrsK. I would totally go see Nicki Minaj with you if I lived in Detroit. Also, the thumbs down idea is excellent!

I don't know if I have any specific vents or confessions today. I've just had a lot of minor irritations lately. Like a lot of FI's little annoyances have really been bugging me lately. I think it's because I'm stressed over how much I've had to work lately. I have to work late four out of the five days this week after working long hours last week and last Saturday. I'm just ready for a break. Plus the house is filthy but FI wont clean it and since I'm barley home this week it's not getting done. The amount of dog hair tumble weeds on the floor is going to make me lose my sh!t if they are't swept up soon. Tomorrow I have to go to a conference all day out in nasty asss gross dumphole Rochester which is like the dirtiest and most horrible city in NY (and the world in my opinion). And I got suckered into driving us all out there which blows because my car is a lease and I'm like 1000 miles over my mile allotment. And I left my bathroom key at home today so I had to drive the hour round trip to go get it so my bladder wouldn't explode today. And because of the extra driving I had to get gas today but I'm so broke I had to charge it to my credit card that I'm trying to just use to pay for grad school. Ugh. Everything is stupid.

The only plus side is one of the guys from the radio station across the hall just came in and asked me do a commercial for them because they need a female voice. So I get to do a radio commercial which is kind of cool.

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: C & V Thursday : hahaha this soudns like me. except I've now resorted to either shaking my fist at them, or giving a thumbs down. I don't know about you, but if someone took the time to thumbs down me, instead of the standard middle finger, I'd be more upset hahah
Posted by mrskaiser22[/QUOTE]

Hahaha, I just wave. I've noticed that people get more piiiised off at me waving then cursing or doing the middle finger

sparkles776 · June 2012

Thanks everyone! Mrsk, first I went to dior bridal in Dearborn, which was the good experience, they just didn't pull me very much. Second was B Ella bridal in downtown Northville.

ashlidie · June 2012

Confession: I am not as fond of FMIL as I was when we first started dating. Nothing major, just stupid little things irk me when before I didn't have a mother figure so I looked up to her with almost no negative bias.

Vent: One of those small little things is from today. Father's day is sunday, and while I dont talk to my mom much, my dad and I have had tough times but our relationship is getting stronger and well, he's my dad. I was supposed to see him saturday but he couldnt get off work, so I have to see on sunday. Well sunday FI's family has plans to go out on the boat (watch blue angels for the war of 1812 celebration in Bmore) but not all day. BUT she won't tell me what times so I can't figure out when we can go my dad. Well, she would only say "its boating I cant tell you until the day of" OKAY well then I will just make plans with my dad, take her son with me and if we cant make it to the boat, well then I guess we tried to see his father but I just want to see my dad for 10% of the day (we are just having breakfast) and am totally ok with spending the other 90% with his father on the boat. She does this very often, not letting us know the plans but like FI and FIs bro are in serious relationships where they cant cater to their parents 100% of the time, they now have another family to accomodate too and its not like I see my dad very often anyway.

thanks for letting me vent ladies, this is good therapy haha

sparkles776 · June 2012

Ash I would do the same exact thing. If FIs parents lose out on seeing him for the day, that was their choice than by not giving you a time.
