Confessions/Vents

emarston1 · March 2012

Let's hear 'em!

Meegles4 · March 2012

My confession is that the wedding nightmares have returned. I haven't had ANY since we first got engaged nearly a year ago, but last night, I had a dream that FI wandered off after the ceremony and everyone was out of order and thus we didn't get any family pictures and my photographer was all over the place.

I think this means I should really get going on that day-of timeline.

I like Michigan. We have a lot of great stuff. And this year's winter was mild. However, now that it is 50 degrees before 9AM I always remind myself how much happier I am in warmer weather.

Confession: I am so unhappy at my job right now.

Fi has a job opportunity in Cincinnati. He hasn't been officially offered the job yet but word is he will in the next few months. Its a great opportunity for him and ouldn't have us moving until two months after the wedding so it's perfect.

If I knew what was going on with this I could either get my self through the day by telling myself I only have a few months left or just find a new job.

I'm sorry you are so unhappy :(
But get down here and join the Cincinnati party!! What do you do? You should start looking for stuff this way :)

I'm actually in a good mood right now which is surprising because I was up at 5 and am working on less than 5 hours of sleep. Today is FI's b-day (27!) and we are going out to a fancish resturant with live music and stuff. I'm excited to dress up and eat cheesecake.

I guess I confess that I picked up some presents for him yesterday and I'm nervous that he's not going to like them. Not the end of the world though..we can return it and there's plenty of stuff at the store that he likes.

The difference in my mood between the winter and every other month is insane. I feel wonderful right now. We're gonna hit 70 where I'm at today!

Vent: My FI's past irresponsibility is really getting to me. He got involved with a business and ended up signing a bunch of paperwork and owns 8% of the stupid thing, then when things went south with the business partner (they were fighting over how the business should be run), he decided to leave the business but he still owned the 8%...now the business is going bankrupt and the owner of the other 92% is suddenly MIA and all these bills are delinquent (he hasn't been involved with the business for months now, so he had no idea things were this bad) and is being taken to court over it!

I'm really pissed off that he made all those business decisions without even talking to me first. I didn't have a very good opinion of the company and would have NEVER advised him to take ownership of ANYTHING for it had he talked to me. I'm trying to just let him handle his own sh!t and stay out of it, but I really really want to yell at him for being so trusting and stupid.

I knew you would respond with something like this. My brother and his girlfriend can't wait either.

I'm a medical biller for a nursing home. Although I do have a Marketing degree.

Well, of course! Plenty of nursing homes around here. And so many more businesses than in MI. Come and move and we can all party.

Ugh!! Lots of drama!!!

I have a nice new '12 Ford Focus and FI and I take turns parking on our street since we only have room for 1 car in the driveway. Well, last night our next door neighbor came over and said that the previous night, she heard a crash and she saw the lady across the street back into my car and then drive away. She also said that the other lady across the street saw/heard the same thing. So we look at my car and YUP! My bumper is cracked, dented, and popped off on one whole side. It's the kind with the sensors in it so it isn't cheap.

Then FI goes to talk to the people across the street (I'm a hot head and he thought it would be best if he did it haha) and they denied it. They called their mom who picks the kids up sometimes and she denied it too. So FI comes home and calls the lady who came over originally.

Well, all of a sudden she "didn't know" what color the van was that hit me! So she THEN calls the other lady who saw/heard it and this lady says it definitely was NOT the lady across the street!!! OMG WTF. It's like a friggin sewing circle here!! I wish they would have communicated better, because she DEFINITELY said it WAS the lady across the street.

So now FI has to go apologize to them (he was nice but he still feels bad, and I do too) and I still have a ruined bumper from a hit and run

I'm with Loton1, very unhappy at my job. Which is not new. All I can say is hang in there, a new opportunity will come around.

My vent: Everyone keeps saying its your day do what you want. Yet some of those same people are objecting to everything we want to do.

For example, we are not having a wedding party (just flower girl and ring bearer) and there will be no bridal shower. Reasons for the bridal party: saving money for us and everyone else and don't want to deal with the stress of it. Reasons for no bridal shower: We are building a home right now, every week since October we have been purchasing items. I've compared what we have purchased to example registries and there are maybe a handful of things we still need so it will be pointless to register. I would like to have an open house/house warming party before the wedding that would substitute for the shower. People can come and go as they please and don't even have to bring a gift.

We are not getting married so people can drop a ton of money on us and you would think I am the worst person in the world because I want to keep things simple and within a certain budget.

aloisk57 · March 2012

Getintheboxx, I also did not want to have a shower since we already have everything we need and I don't need people wasting money or time on us...but my mom said that it would be RUDE of us to not have a shower! So now we have to have a shower so as to not offend anyone. But yeah, it's supposed to be "our day". It's BS.

getintheboxx · March 2012

Aloisk57 - You are a much better person than I am. I'm standing strong on the no shower thing. My mother said "people are going to be so disappointed you are not having a shower" I have a really hard time believing that. The thing is FI and I were just going to elope and be done with it, the house and other things are more important to us than a big to do wedding, but we re-considered and decided to keep it small (about 50-60 people) and simple. And they can't just be happy with that we decided to do the ceremony/wedding thing, they have to push for more. UGH!!

Sorry you are going through that...I can completely sympathize with you!!!

My Vent: Being a special education teacher with emotionally disturbed children means that the proverbial apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Well, I have this parent who seems to think I am the problem for her child's horrible behavior. She has gone as far to say that I should not make him do anything and just be a babysitter. No matter what I do it is my fault. Yesterday this child went to an out of home placement because he had a tantrum at home (not wanting to get on the bus) and sure enough, my fault! I have tough skin and do not really care but she keeps going to the district office and complaining about me. Contracts for next year go out in April and they might not see me as worth keeping around if she keeps going. I'm trying not to stress about it given I have no control over it. My principle and other parents love me so I am hoping this works in my favor. It is just frustrating to have such stupid people being listened to.

Wedding Vent: The guys were supposed to have their measurements in by March 10th. As of right now 1 of the 6 have them in. To make things worse my FI and another groomsmen were measured this weekend and when I went to call them in they have 4 measurements missing!! Now both have to go back. However, where we live there is no major tux place so my FI wants to wait until we get back up to Phoenix in April. I'm annoyed. It's not major, just annoying.

Vent: I made a list of my top 4 photographers( from recommendations here) and have basically been turned away by all of them. 2 from the start were booked. I had a meeting set up with one but then a client they met with 3 months prior decided to book the date a couple days before our meeting so they cancelled, we had absolutely every intention of booking on the spot too if everything went well. The other, is not very prompt at returning emails as in it took them over a week to get back to me and thats after I sent a second email, and didnt really give me a yes or no response if they were booked or not. Just told me that they were a week behind at returning emails and they might have my date available. Obviously it just wasnt meant to be with any of them.

I am just so frustrated. When the one photographer cancelled our appointment, I burst into tears. I just want to get one that I like booked. So since I exhausted really all my options, I have looked for new ones, most of which are more than we were planning on spending. So now I have a new list, a lot of them I really really love, if not more than the ones I originally liked. I am really hoping to have someone booked by the end of the month!

angNnic · March 2012

Check out the photog I'm using (she did my engagement pics thats posted below)...She is very reasonably priced. Sarah Kossuch Photography! Hope you find one soon!!!! ( My photographer is about the ONLY thing I have booked right now so I'm stressing about eveyrthing else!)
