Thursday confessions

CFM102012 · June 2012

I confess that while I don't really want them to break up, a tiny little part of me hopes that my cousin and another girl we're inviting break up with their bf's before invitations go out so I don't have to invite the bfs

I feel kinda horrible about this

I don't know that its necessarily a confession but it's on my mind and I don't want to start another thread over it. Three years ago today my grandfather passed away. He was the closest relative I've had so far to pass away. I was fortunate enough to know my great grandparents (great grandma died when I was in HS and great grandpa when I was a jr or so in college) but this has been the hardest. My mom asked my sister and me to call grandma and let her know we're thinking of her. I can't do it. Just thinking about it makes me start crying and I don't want to upset Grandma more than I know she already is. FI switched shifts today so he's at work and won't get off til midnight. I wish he were here.

so sorry for your lose- i know people say it gets easier when someone close to you passes away... it doesnt you just learn to live your life w/o them and that is not easy but that person wants you to enjoy your life so you should!!! June 30th will actually be 14 years ago when my mom passed away and its still hard - so i understand! it is especially hard with such a big event coming up that you wish they were there to share with you! you are lucky that you got to spend as many years as you did with your grand father... all my grandparents died before i was 15 and i was 17 when my mom passed away!

I'm so sorry. I hope your day gets better.

I'll confess, and to keep it WR: I totally just Facebook stalked a guy I went to college with and worked with for a tiny time (in college). He just got married and I was looking through all of the pictures. We haven't spoken in YEARS so that's embarrassing, ha ha.

lol i facebook stalk all weddings... people i went to grade school with and was never even very good friends with back then! i think i am just wedding obsessed!

WR: I confess that I'm so annoyed with my cousin for being "in a complicated relationship" with her husband. Now I have to order a new envelope since all of mine have been printed since I don't think it's ok to send it addressed as "Mr & Mrs. Shawn Last name." Either stay with him or split up already.

NWR: I can't stand one of my coworkers and I'm being forced to work with him more closely now that his position is changing. Plus since I'm HR and my boss thinks the sun shines out of his ass I don't have anyone in the company that I can air my grievances to.

achiduck · June 2012

Also, sorry you're having a hard day CFM. If I were in your position I wouldn't want to call either.

CFM102012 · June 2012

Thanks for the kind words ladies. Overall, my day isn't that bad. I could do with it being cooler. I just start crying everytime I think of my grandfather but I can't not think of him. I know it'll get better and I know in October I'll shed a tear (or more) for him but I know he'll be with me. I still need my something blue. Maybe I'll ask grandma if she has something of his that was blue that I can use for the day.

WR: FI's ex-girlfriend just got engaged. She is being totally tacky about everything. She's already posted pics of her ring (mine's better :P) and she was given a decent wedding dress by a friend. The tacky part being she put pictures of it all over facebook. They've set a date for next June and already I've heard more than enough about their wedding. I'm a biiiiitch lol.

Also, I went to the venue to drop off another deposit cheque (bye bye money...le sigh) and they were set up for a wedding. They had tulle drapery and uplighting. Things I didn't give a hoot about before. But everything was just so pretty...me kinda likey. Siiiiiiigh

WR: Phase two of the annulment process that will allow FI and I to get married in the church is taking forever. One diocese already went through it and nullified my previous, so the work for diocese number two is already done! Geez! Just get on with it! I'd like to officially be able to start planning our ceremony.

NWR: I'm crazy jealous of my cousin being pregnant. I know she had fertility issues that were concerning, but they weren't even ttc since they've only been married 5 months so far. I have the same issues and I have this horrible feeling it will be much more diificult for me. And FI and I really want kids, like yesterday. I'm SOOO happy for her. But jealous, too.

Heather613 · June 2012

NWR: I am getting knee surgery tomorrow and I am a nervous wreck. I know it has to get done I am just nervous about how I am going to finalize all the last minute wedding details. Luckily, I have an amazing FI who will be helping me out a lot so I don't have to worry about anything.

fishinflagrl · June 2012

I confess that I am about ready to straggle FI!!! He is not being very supportive of me being between jobs and taking classes. He feels the house should be cleaned daily and was upset that dinner wasn't ready tonight... I had class at 5:30 and need to leave at 4:45 to get there... Not happening dude. I didn't eat either. I hope he gets over this ASAP or he has something else coming!! Lol

[Deleted User] · June 2012

WR: FI and I took another look at the guest list to get it as close to final as possible. I had to remove my grandpa who passed away a couple weeks ago. It was so weird just having my grandma's name listed on that line.

Unfortunately I also had to add my uncle's new wife (former mistress). His divorce kind of split the extended family in two, those who supported it and those who didn't. I'm on the side who doesn't. I respect that he's made that decision, but him and my aunt and their three kids were the closest family and no one saw it coming. My aunt didn't want the divorce and my uncle disowned his (college-aged) kids the second he moved in with the other woman. At their wedding last month (which my parents attended, my sister and I did not) he even lit a candle in their "honor" like they were dead or something. It honeslty sickens me that I have to invite his new wife. If they were still just dating I really wanted to just "forget" to put her name on the invitation (rude, I know) but now I'm 100% obligated to invite her (instead of the 98.8% obligation I felt when they were just dating, lol).

WR: FI's good friend who is also a groomsman just broke up with his on and off again girlfriend. This is probably the eigth time and I so hope they don't go out again, because I really don't want her at the wedding.

NWR: well kinda.. lol. We don't want kids, but since we are getting closer to the wedding everyone is asking how many kids we are going to have. Its such a hard subject to talk about with people who have kids because they don't understand and aren't in the same place as we are. Stop asking already!

<div>"I'd like to get through the wedding before thinking about kids. How's that bean dip?" I got my first kids question at Christmas last year. Fortunately FI and I have talked about it so we know about how many we want. We just haven't figured out when. Its amazing how nosey people get. Its even worse when its family asking.</div>

I confess that I am going nuts staying home this summer with DD. I love her with all my heart but I am used to working. Being on furlough is a stress and finding ways to entertain her is driving me batty already. Only 1 1/2 months to go!

mrshall1027 · June 2012

WR: I am really starting to stress out about the wedding and everything that needs to be done. Invitations are a big factor right now and I feel like I really need to finish them, but I just have no motivation to do anything WR right now. I know once I start though, I'll get on a role and get a bunch of things done.

NWR: I've been getting pretty frustrated with my stepdaughters lately. They are being so difficult and they have both been getting in trouble at daycare. The youngest one thinks that she won't actually get punished when she does something wrong. The oldest one is testing us to see what she can get away with. And FI is such a wuss when it comes to them, that he hates to discipline them until it's too much to handle. I don't want to be the "evil stepmom", but I won't have a 3 yr old and 6 yr old running the show. I put my foot down tonight and they've been better since. We'll just see how it goes the rest of the week.

fjw2012 · June 2012

I am also starting to really stress about the wedding. In the first few months after we set a date we got soooo much done and since it's been at a bit of a stand still. A lot of it can't even be done just yet (putting edible favors together, seating chart, escort cards, etc.), which makes it even worse because all I can think is that we will be super busy in August and September.

Also, I can't stop checking our registries now that my shower invites have gone out. I need an intervention lol!
