Random thread- for all things random.

Re: Random thread- for all things random.

  • My MIL took over the planning of my baby shower from my Mom and SILs since I'm having another shower for a different branch of family/friends. She apparently sent out the invites on Tuesday but guess who didn't get an invite?

    THIS BITCH (points to self)

    So when my GF called me today and asked me details about the shower, I had literally nothing to tell her as I wasn't informed of the time, date, place or even if the invite said where I was registered at. Yeah. So I asked my MIL to send me a picture of the invites at least, so I could see.  She sent me this shit:image
    ...................
    I am speechless. This has MIL style all over it and zero of me.

    I know. The worst part wasn't the knowledge that we may have to replace the entire floor but seeing the look on DH's face. It broke my heart. He carries so much weight on himself about how he believes he needs to provide for us and I know in his mind he was beating himself up because he felt that couldn't even provide a safe (mold free) home for me & Noah. Hopefully my interview today goes well & they overlook my belly so that DH won't be our sole source of income & can hopefully lose some of that stress.
  • @MonkeyJD‌ So sorry about the mold situation! Dealing with house issues sucks sometimes, especially hate you're going through it this close to July and the new baby! But at least y'all found it. Hoping your interview goes well!! T&PS!!! Keep us posted!

    Yeahhhh it's for June 1st. I just know it's going to be the kind of old lady party with like... jello molds with whipped cream and crap like that. I just think if you take over the planning of something like that, at the least you should TRY to incorporate a bit of the Mom in there.

    I have never in my life worn leopard or zebra print and the invites are black! It looks like some stripper invite to a bachelorette!

    Yes, I'm aware I'm being petty. It's only because it's my MIL. Not even getting an invite in the mail shows me this is her way of taking over and making it about HER first blood grandson. Serenity now, serenity now.


    Yea, I know what you mean. I think she should have at least talked to you about it and incorporated some of you in it. Hope once your son gets here she respects your wishes then!

  • So my wedding anniversary is in 3 days and I still don't know what to get DW. She doesn't want anything but I still like to do something sentimental anyway even if its small. Ugh...

    The worst part is that she does all of this with a smile :-D image

    It's tricky to catch the woman doing any of this. She is a formidable opponent, to be sure. But I'm wise to her ways ;-)

    --------------------------

    1. Those are the worst kind of ppl. It reminds me of the dudes from clockwork orange. *shudder* sociopath. ETA: I don't by any means mean to compare her to that of a rapist. Just they way he smiled when he did his crimes.

    2. That gif is so eerie and perfect. I may make it my next siggy.

  • @MonkeyJD -So sorry about the nasty surprise!  I hope it gets cleaned up quickly and cheaply! 

    @Literachick - Heh, my shower is also scheduled for June 1st, and I am also the only guest who didn't get an invite.  So methinks I'm guessing time and location?  It wasn't supposed to be a surprise, but sounds like it might be!  (That said, my mom -who is helping out but not a hostess- said something about it asking for people to bring diapers.  1- I said that is the one thing I didn't want to happen and 2- we're CDing. D'oh. )

    Freaked out by this news story about a couple whose monitor (which was connected to their cell phones) got hacked by some creep who yelled at their kid through the speakers! I'm definitely rethinking my monitor choice.

  • I was having myself a pity party last night after this crazy week and wrote on Facebook that I need a friend that lives within 20 miles of me.

    The girl I mentioned before that I met through Facebook to start a "mom group" in our town messaged me and invited me to a Mary Kay party and to go shopping with her tomorrow.

    Sometimes I really love Facebook.

    I hope you've found a good friend!

  • Niece left Tuesday for home after a week with us and guess what she left behind for me? Her cold. Awesome. Not only can't I breathe through my nose, but it's also running like crazy at the same time. Ugh! Doctor gave me the ok to take Tylenol cold but it hasn't seemed to help today.

    I like looking at the wikipedia traditional anniversary gifts and spinning it in a fun way. Year one was paper and I had a tiny book of stick figure people made telling DH why I loved him (literally googled first anniversary paper gifts.) He bought me tickets to my alma maters basketball game.

    Year three is... leather! Haha

  • Dreamed the night before last that I could tell LO had a runny nose, could hear her sniffling. Then I felt a *pop*, stood up quickly and realized I was covered in snot! That's when I knew my water broke.
  • @hopalong1015‌ I know exactly what you mean!! My friend had her baby last week and seeing her little girl made me so happy for her, but also even more excited to see my own little girl in July!
