Re: Monday Confessions

  • I've been sitting here all day trying to write a paper that is due Thursday, but I keep Knotting instead. I don't know what has happened to me lately - my brain has really turned into mush in the past week or so.

    Our Story MAJORLY UPDATED 8/6/09
    Wouldn't it be nice to live together in the kind of world where we belong?
  • I'm pissed.  My car battery is dead and of COURSE that means I have no car.  When FI's car is broken, he uses mine, because he works and obviously needs to get to work.  So no matter who's car is broken, it means I don't have a car.  It fuucking sucks.  Obviously I'm not mad at FI, he has to be able to get to and from work (and it's always been when he's working out of town and it doesn't make sense for me to just drop him off and pick him up).  I'm just mad in general.  SO mad.

  • I faked being sick so I could skip school today. I have to go to the dr. and get an excuse. I didn't feel like driving a total of 4 hours today.

  • I'm annoyed at all the people who no-showed at our wedding with no real excuse. Including one of FI's closest aunts, and some of my close friends from work. All told, that's around $1000 wasted on these people, if you don't count the extra favors I had, extra cake, extra linens and centerpieces I had to order, etc. That $1000 could have gone toward my stupid photo booth that I thought we couldn't afford!

  • I am procrastinating on a lot of things that need to get done. I have no motivation to do them.I also slept until 1 or 2 pm the past 3 days and I need to get up at 6am on Wednesday. That's going to be rough.
    image
  • When FMIL told me she is stopping by our place Tuesday night, I wanted to ask her not to. I have too much to do to sit around and socialize with her and have her ask me 5000 questions about the wedding. Clearly I am hitting the "F it" bitchy phase of the planning.
  • Vogt (((hugs))) I feel your pain. A$$holes. Huge ones!
    image
  • I have secretly been very angry at my mother for a while now. We are actually very very close, she is on of my best friends, which is the reason she can hurt me even more.Whenever I talk about wanting kids (we do, but not now) or liking babies, or baby stuff, she freaks out. Her reaction runs the gammit of jokingly saying, "no don't you are too young" to getting very serious and saying, "you and mike have much more important things to think about."I know she has my best interests at heart, and is reacting to her own life choices of having my sisters at age 20 and 22, but it hurts A LOT. I keep thinking how she will react if I got pregnant tomorrow. That would just crush me to see disappointment on her face.
  • Vogt - Ugh that's so annoying! We paid our JP $400 to officiate the ceremony and invited her to the reception. She said that she would come, we paid the $90 for her plate, and then 4 days before the wedding she said she couldn't come to the reception. I was ticked because we had already paid for her plate and there was an empty chair at my parents' table. If I had the balls, I would have asked her to deduct her plate price from her officiant fee but I'm not sure how that would have gone over.
    image
  • I'm also incredibly tired of FI's family living 20 minutes away.  We see them seriously at least once a week.  That's just too damn much for me.  And when FI said he was going there for dinner tomorrow and they're having something I don't like, he got mad when I said I'd pass.  But I don't care.  I've had enough of them lately.  I see my family 2-3 times a year.

  • I'm annoyed at all the people who no-showed at our wedding with no real excuse.I am so worried about this happening. I actually didn't invite a couple people solely because they are the flaky type, and every time we've had plans to get together in the last year, they backed out. And not like a day before. They backed out while I was sitting at the restaurant.
  • Meaghan, I am sure if you got pregnant she'd be super excited.  Just because she doesn't think you should.  My friend was single and got pregnant.  My first reaction was, "dude, think about your options... health care covers abortions."  I thought her mom would say the same thing.Nope, her mom told her she thought she should have it and that she would help her in any way she needed.

  • Meaghan, my mom is the same way. My sister has been married for 5 years, both have stable jobs, and my mom was still giving her the side eye when she was TTC.
  • GG - shame on her she should have known better!! Vogt, that is just miserable :(Another one, spinning of J&K: Mike asked me if we could see his mother for the first time since 4th of July next week. She will be in our area. I said no with no good reason. I am such a biitch about her and I know Mike would really like to see me be the bigger person and forgive her crap.I feel bad because she is still his mom no matter what and we see my family all.the.time.
  • Being pregnant has made me self involved. I usually am pretty altruistic and engaged in community issues, helping to solve social problems, etc. but now all I can think about is myself. I hope this changes.
  • Mandy -  you are actually probably right. She is a truly amazing grandmother to my sisters' five kids. One of my sisters even got preggo out of wedlock ::gasp!:: which didn't even make my mother blink an eye. It is just SO constant and so overbearing. Literally every single time I see her this type of conversation happens. Also, I think it has something to do with the way they always expected me to be the achiever of the family and settling down with babies is not the first thing they would expect after Yale, great job etc... Not fair, but you know how families can be.
  • Two things:1) I'm thisclose to murdering whoever is clipping their goddamn nails in the office.2) I'm feeling gunshy about posting here today after Friday's FFF.

  • A girl who we (my husband and I) used to be friends with friend requested me on FB last week, I was very tempted to be bitchy and ask why she thought I would want to add her as a friend and all sorts of other rude things. When I told my husband she requested to be added and what I wanted to do, he gave me a look and told me to decline it and not say anything. Im really a rude and immature person sometimes.
  • 1) I'm thisclose to murdering whoever is clipping their goddamn nails in the office.You are much more tolerant than I am. Said persons clippers would be thrown out the window after the first clip.
  • Another one, spinning of J&K: Mike asked me if we could see his mother for the first time since 4th of July next week. She will be in our area. I said no with no good reason. I am such a biitch about her and I know Mike would really like to see me be the bigger person and forgive her crap.I feel bad because she is still his mom no matter what and we see my family all.the.time.Ah, I forgot that you can't really stand your MIL. We could have vented to each other last week, haha. I cringed the entire weekend that MIL stayed with us in August. She really has done nothing wrong to me, but I can't stand her most of the time. Thankfully, she is 6 hours away and we only see her 2 or 3 times a year. I feel bad for saying that, but she is overbearing and expresses her opinions about everything. FIL lives in the same town as my parents, but we are always visiting my family. I tell him we should go visit his dad more often, but he doesn't jump on it and call him up. I don't get it.

  • Yesterday FI was all lovey and wanting to hang out with me.  I was not lovey and did not  want to hang out with him.  He drove me nuts, but I didn't want to hurt his feelings by making him give me a few feet of space.  I used homework as an excuse and then didn't do much of it.

  • Look at me go.Now I AM mad at FI.  He ate half my freaking lunch.  We have nothing halfway decent to with it because I was going to go grocery shopping today.  But I can't BECAUSE I HAVE NO CAR.

  • I left the confession part off--I definitely sent him a childish whiny text message because of it.Ok, now I'm done.  Promise.

  • FIL started asking about grandkids....at the wedding reception.  I really hope this doesn't continue.  
  • J&K, order pizza with his CC? :D
  • Gah, my cats chew their toenails off and I always step on them. It's like a whole claw too when I find them. So gross.

  • A campaign for one of our larger accounts got entirely screwed up on Friday. There was an error with the budget and my boss and I talked about how I could remedy the sales person's mistake.I came in today and found out that my boss had done all of the work to fix the error and even let me sit out the awkward billing meeting that was the result.Sometimes I feel very guilty about knotting when he is such a good supervisor.

  • I am irritated with BF for spending more money than we wanted to on MY father's birthday. Every gift giving event for my parents, we buy a present, and it is from us and both of my sisters. That's fine, but we always spend more than we should because we feel like it should be bigger from all three of us. My parents both know that my sisters don't chip in, but BF doesn't want them to be hurt that my sisters don't buy them presents, so he always wants to make it look like they did. I would rather take the extra $75 and actually add to our savings account for one.

  • FIL started asking about grandkids....at the wedding reception. I really hope this doesn't continue.SIL mentioned it in her toast. I wanted to die. FIL mentions it all the time - he wants 4 grandkids out of us in the next 10 years. Yeah, okay!

  • Gretch - next time we hang out I promise we have have a wonderful hate fest. I have stories you would not believe. I know what you are saying about FIL which is actually really funny that you have the same thing. FIL lives 20 min from my parents and Mike is VERY close with his dad. For some reason Mike just never calls him to hang out. GUys are weird.
