Confessions? Vents? Here's your moment to let 'em out!!

emilyb213 · July 2012

Confession: My fiance's twin brother (and our Best Man) told us the other day that he took a one year contract position working in Afghanistan. He got out of the Army last fall and had a hard time finding a job, so he took the first good prospect offered. My fiance is upset, because he really enjoyed having his brother back home. I feel really bad for my fiance and his parents, having to deal with him being over there again. I'm also worried that something will happen with his time off and he won't be able to make it to the wedding (he said the HR recruiter assured him that it wouldn't be an issue, but who knows). My fiance will be devastated if his brother isn't there.

Vent: With future brother-in-law heading back to Afghanistan, my fiance and I will once again be the focus of his mother's attention. The last time this happened, it culminated with her writing my fiance a five page letter, detailing all of the ways she had been wronged by us, victimized, taken advantage of, etc. (a sample: "You got cats because you know I'm allergic and wouldn't be able to visit if you had them."), all of which she ended up taking back when we talked to her. Future mother-in-law has some serious depression/other mental health issues, so I try to be understanding, but she also uses her issues as an excuse to say/do whatever she wants, and I'm really not looking forward to having her full attention focused on us for the next year.

Holy novel, sorry, this has been bothering me for the last couple days.

Confession:

Wedding is approaching a lot faster than I really could have imagined. I feel like I am so far behind, but there isn't really anything that I can do about it. I turn in the contract and deposit today for the venue, but that is about all I can do for the next 4 months. I just feel like I am behind and nothing is going to get done. I am worried

Vent:

FI doesn't help at all. I bring stuff up and he just blows me off. I am working 2 jobs and I am tired all the time. I FORGOT MY COFFEE AT HOME THIS MORNING! That's super crappy, and now I am super grumpy. I don't even know where to start with any of the wedding, and my best friend is in Italy. All very random things, but thanks for reading, I needed to get that out.

Vent: I've been waiting patiently until after my sister's wedding to discuss my wedding plans with my family. My cousin, who is also my florist, hasn't been returning my calls or emails. She comments on FB and seems friendly when I see her in person. I don't know if we have a problem or not. We used to be best friends when we were kids.

Anyway, I called her yesterday, and she was very nice. I asked what she was doing this Saturday. She's going to spend the day with her friend, Jenny, and plan her wedding. Jenny got engaged a few weeks ago. We discussed a few flower questions I had, and I was just glad she was willing to talk about that.

There has not been one person in my family that has seen my ideas for my wedding. Most of them know where it is, that's it. I've dreamed of this my whole life. I never thought I'd be doing everything by myself. I'll probably only see my fiance twice before he moves here next April.

Confession: I am spending way too much time looking at wedding stuff at work.

Confession: Anytime outside of business hours we work at my agency, we have to use to take time off before the end of the pay period. I scheduled my drug and alcohol prevention ed program to go until 6 yesterday and today intentionally so I could leave work two hours early on Friday. Last night, I let the class out at only 5:15 and I honestly think it'll end up being let out early again tonight. I still plan on using two comp hours to leave early tomorrow even though I won't have technically worked those hours to earn comp time off.

Vent: I'm seriously ready to be done with school. I'm having a hard time juggling full time work, grad school, wedding planning and renovations on the fixer upper FI and I bought last fall. I'm on schedule to be done this up coming spring, but I'm going to only do one class a semester instead of two because I think I'll go crazy otherwise. I'm already behind in my summer course. I planned on using down time yesterday and today to catch up but I keep leaving my stupid school stuff at home. Plus I'm sitting my Masters Comps in September and the National Certified Health Education Specialist exam in October. I'm going to be brain dead after all this. I'd be just as happy without a Master's degree, but in NY anyone with a teaching license is required to obtain a Masters (in a corresponding field to your undergrad, it has to be pertinent otherwise it doesn't count) within five years of gradutaing undergrad otherwise they pull your certification and I guess the process to get it back is a complete nightmare. So dumb because NY doesn't even have any teaaching jobs so they're basically forcing kids to go into a dying field and go further into debt for stupid piece of paper.

Vent: I really really don't like my FSIL atm.. I *still* have never met the woman, but on Monday she called my FI up (inbtwn his super important job interviews) and told him that she up and moved to TX and was only just now telling him. This is after his parents announced they were getting a divorce (back in March or so) and his dad up and moved to GA. So, my FI is feeling like absolute poo right now and like his family doesn't care about him. It breaks my heart, but at the same time leaves me furious. I can understand that they had good reason to move to TX (house and possible job there) but they KNEW he was back in the area since May and she didn't make any effort to see FI before she left town. On top of that, FI will now probably not get to see his little nephew when he is born in September.

The icing on the cake was when she left him a message on Tuesday saying that she accidentally packed some of his dress clothes and brought them to TX with her since she thought they were her husband's. I just want to kick her booty right now. ugh.

Confession: I am really having a hard time being strong for FI over this stuff. I just want to either break down and cry for him or go yell at everyone in his family for the stuff that they are pulling. But I am trying really really really doubly hard for him, because he means everything to me.. just hope I can keep it up till things calm down in his family

Vent: We've been doing really good staying within and even under our wedding budget, and I was hoping we'd be able to use some of the saved money for a few extras (like uplighting). I've talked to my venue yesterday, they have a minimum that we have to spend for our wedding, and I was under the impression that it includes whatever we want to spend it on (like upgrading linens or alcohol) but apparently it only includes food. I know it was totally my bad for not confirming ahead of time, but on the upside at least I found out now and not weeks before the wedding when we are finishing up the menu and all that.

Confession: I've been slacking off on going to the gym lately. I usually go twice a week, and I've been doing it only once ever since I ran my 5K a month or so ago. I know I need to get back on track, but I've just been feeling sooo lazy lately.

anastassiiat · July 2012

MrsK - so happy you guys are finally closing! That must be sooo exciting!

emilyb213 · July 2012

MRSK, THAT'S AWESOME THAT YOU'RE FINALLY CLOSING!! CONGRATS!!!!!

(I felt that news warranted an all caps reaction.)

cnf2013 · July 2012

Yayyyy MrsK for closing!!!! Goodness you've been patient with that! Post some pictures once you get in a set up!

sopraffina · July 2012

Congrats MrsK!

ashbeth06 · July 2012

Congrats MrsK on closing!

My vent is NWR, but it's part of my life right now. I'm teaching a remedial math class for 2nd graders reviewing 1st grade and pre-teaching some skills. I'm suppose to have around 32 students total, but I've only seen 27 this week already. Not everyone shows up everyday. I'm just frustrated that you can't call the school and tell them your kid isn't coming, esp. if I find out they were on vacation. Why pay the money if your child will not benefit from the extra help by not attending an hour long class?! I am grateful for my job, but as a teacher, I want to help as many students as I can.

Congrats MrsK!!!!! Good luck with all that.

Confession: I started a new job, and I really miss coming on here and any other wedding related website during the day. I feel so behind by the time I get home and like I have to much to catch up on.

Vent: Also regarding this new job, it is sooooooooooooo boring right now. We have to train, and there is a lot to learn, but the training lady only works with us 2 times a week. The rest of the time I literally sit there and watch one of the girls while she does her work. From 8-4. With a 1 hour break. OMG I feel like I am going to fall asleep in my chair. And I don;t feel like I am learning much this way, because she just goes about her business and I can barely keep up.

On top of that, FI's uncle passed away Monday night. Today is the wake, I missed the 1st one becaue of work and am going at 7. Then FI is off again tomorrow to go to the funeral and I have to miss it for work too. I feel bad because I know he is vvery sad about the whole thing and I wish I could be there for him.

</div><div>That was me when I started my new job back in March. There was so little I could do unless I was observing a program. I just sat around in my office and did absolutely nothing allll day 9-5. I still do a whole lot of nothing most of the time. It's pretty lame.

KplusA · July 2012

Confession: I am doing really bad with trying to eat healthy. I spent all of June eating healthier, smaller meals with less dessert and I worked out 5 times a week. I lost 2.5 pounds in June! Then I went camping 2 weeks ago and then immediately went to LA for a week and both of those trips included a lot of yummy dessert (although I did a lot of hiking/walking on each trip). I started working out again this week, but I'm scared that all the cupcakes I ate in Beverly Hills will have made me gain back the weight I lost. I'm scared to weigh myself, so I spend all day worrying that I gained weight. I think I'm going to weigh myself tomorrow to put myself out of my misery. If I gained the weight back I'll be really sad though : ( I'm the kind of person who needs to see a little weight loss to keep myself motivated.

Vent: How the heck are you supposed to find a florist??? There seems to be a florist on every street corner in my area and I have no idea how to choose one. Do you just call them up and ask what they can do with your budget? I seriously might make my own flowers, it would save me so much money but would definitely be more stressful.

LouD042109 · July 2012

Confession: I seriously need to watch what I eat. I need to get to the gym but honestly I think I am going to wait until school starts in August for that. It would be free for me then. My biggest issue with getting healthy is my lack of self-control. I absolutely love chocolate, cookies and ice cream. It is sooooo HARD to stay away from it. I have tried so many times to cut it out of my diet...along with soda. I really don't know what else to do about my diet, but I have got to do something..especially before my wedding.
