vent/confession: why is it when you have a busy fun weekend ahead of you the week goes by soooo slow

Klyn1983 · April 2012

Confession: I need a girls night out, badly. I haven't had one in months!

Vent: I swear our laundry and dishes multiply overnight! I just want the house to stay clean for longer than 8 hours!!!!

Confession: I actually really enjoyed the 5 days that FI was in Dallas. It's kind of hard to adjust to having him home again! I find myself getting more irritated than normal because the house was just so CLEAN when he was gone! Lol

Vent: My FI should have registered for summer classes a month ago and now he's dragging his feet. I have a feeling he is going to wait too long and all the classes he needs are going to be full and then I'm going to be PISSED because it will be the 4th time he's done this with scheduling classes in the past 2 years. This wouldn't be so frustrating, except for the fact that when he ultimately misses a deadline HE then gets angry...even though I remind him umpteen times before deadlines to get his sh!t together.

Confession/vent: How do I say this without sounding like a brat... I've been engaged for 4 weeks and no one has offered to throw us an engagement party... I'm now considering throwing one for myself, but I really don't want to have to take on the planning... I do NOT want to have the party for gifts, I honestly just want to celebrate with my friends and family! Due to FI's work schedule, we would have to have the party within the next month, or not until the fall. I either have to bite the bullet and throw the party for myself, or not have one at all. My mom isn't interested in throwing the party because she believes she is already putting enough money toward this wedding, and that a party like this is just a cry for more gifts/money (which it would not be, as would be stated on the invites). Sigh.

</div><div>I hate to say this, and I fear I'm going to come across as a biitch...but nobody has to throw you an engagement party. Nowadays it's completely acceptable to NOT have one. If your mother is taking care of a huge financial chunk out of your wedding, you should see where she's coming from.</div><div>
</div><div>Also, an engagement party is meant to announce the engagement. You can't have one in the Fall when you have been engaged for 6-7 months already. That does sound like you are hoping for money/gifts-regardless of what your invitation may read.</div><div>
</div><div>Eek. I hope you realize I'm not being snarky at all. I just couldn't find a way to word it without being blunt. <img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-embarassed.gif" border="0" alt="Embarassed" title="Embarassed" /> </div>

SO FI has works at an oil refinery that works swing shifts, so he works days and nights and anything inbetween. For the past 8 months, hes been training for a new unit, so hes worked mon-fri day shift and since Ive been in school we've really enjoyed our evenings and weekends together. And yes, we are one of those couples who do everything together because truthfully, hes my best friend and I want to be with him every minute of every day. So anyways, his work is sending him to Louisiana for two whole fricken weeks for training on the unit, when he comes home, he'll be back on shift work, so Ill of course see him less. THEN come August, they are doing a turn around in which he will have to work 120 days IN A ROW, 12 hour midnight shifts. Which means I wont see him on either of our birthdays, or any holiday until February. So I knew this was coming, but now that its coming soon, I keep having breakdowns and crying all the time. Im stressed with school and now that i wont have his support and his hugs and his words of wisdom everyday its going to be really hard on me. Im just going to miss him. Now, I know some of you are military girls who will think Im being a brat, but I use to be a military girl too and went through deployments with my ex and it was brutal, i know. SO as menial as this may seem, to me, its heartbreaking. I hate when hes out of town, I hate when he has to work all the time. I just want him home snuggling on the couch with me everyday!!!!

What is this with engagement parties? I know that when both of my BFF's got engaged there was no parties for them.

I confess that the more I learn more about my new job (and the company) the more excited I get about working there. The agency is AMAZING! I love my job there and actually feel like I'm making an impact in people's lives there. As much as I complain about my other job, my new job kinda helps make me see the larger picture of what I do there. However, I still don't like it and will probably be leaving soon.
