Wedding Woes

Stabby things

1.  DH's job sucks.  I said in the check-in that he may have to work tomorrow.  I'm resigning myself to the fact that he'll probably have to, because that's just the way it feels shit has been rolling. 

2. DH's horrible grandma (there are too many terrible things to list) is begging us kids for money because she and her H are supposedly broke and can't make it home to NC.   SIL and BIL agreed to give her $50 and DH said we'll throw in another $50.  I pray she's too broke to ever come back here again and if my $50 puts several states between us, then I guess it was money well spent.  

3. I called Sprint to cancel MIL's phone line because it's no longer needed and they tried to sell me shit.  

4.  This guy can go fuck off:  http://wgntv.com/2015/12/04/mans-viral-story-about-cheating-on-his-wife-has-a-twist-and-everyone-loves-it/

I'm ready for a damn drink. 

Re: Stabby things

  • Apparently little boys about 5 years old in women's rooms (instead of the men's room or family-friendly bathrooms in the same facility) are due apologies for objecting when they try to force their way into the stall where you're sitting on the toilet even after you've called out that the stall is being used, because not smiling and being cutesy-coo about it is being "nasty" to the kid.

    Ugh.  No.  I have a 4.5 year old and I'd be mortified if he walked in on someone in a public restroom. That's why I keep a firm hand on him and guide him to the stall we're going to use.  That mom can go fuck off.

    1. I'm sorry.
    2. I'm sorry, and good riddance.
    3. I'm sorry, and they totally fucking suck.
    4. "Everyone loves it," ha; I would punch him in the junk if he were standing here right now.  And his wife, too, after reading her reply.  Junk punches for all!
    My only stabby thing is my coworker.  Her kid and DS are about the same age, and I am not into the things that she is.  I'm not judging, I'm just not.  So when she asks again if DS has seen Curious George on Amazon Prime yet (nope), or if I signed up for some deranged Santa train (hell nope), or if I have taken the kids to the mall to see the insane reservation-only Santa with 3D flight simulator experience (all the nope), I tell her no, and make no mention of making any plans to do so.  And then she asks again--oh noes, I'm running out of time to ride the Santa train that smells like feet, I hope my kid survives my parental ineptitude.
  • 4. Is that guy living a real life Pina Colada Song?  I couldn't see the wife's response, it was blocked on my computer :(
  • I'm punching the next idiot who says I need a boy for ring bearer. No. I love my nephews and all but they're all little yet (oldest will be 4 by wedding) and wild. They'd be all over the place. Our nieces are a little older and much calmer than the boys, they're looking forward to their parts.
  • SITB...

     DH has just been in a stabby mood all by himself lately ... his contract is up next week at a company his Dad founded and the new owners aren't renewing his contract.  Of course, that rubs off on the kids - so yea, it's been just a jam dandy weekend and I don't have any reprieve until Wednesday.. 

    And yea @Jen4948- the Mom who expected you to be cheery to her SS who hasn't caught on to all things "eyes forward" in the women's restroom - she can suck it..  Always bugged the heck out of me when women would bring their SS into the adult women's locker room at the gym.  I get that the kid isn't old enough to be alone even in the hallway, but that's why there is a kid's babysitting area at that gym and family locker rooms...  Also, with so many places having a "gender neutral/family restroom" somewhere on grounds, that's EXACTLY what situations they're for - use them!!!  You handled it far more diplomatically than I likely would have (especially if it was my kid!)
