Everybody looking forward to the weekend......
Except me !!!
I have over 50 people coming to my house for the birthday party Saturday. I did not send out invitations or ask anyone to RSVP.
I'm a stupid woman....
p.s. My real FFFC is that no one really cares about your UO. Again I say, you're not as important as you think you are.
p.s.s. I miss BDL
Come back from Planet Lurkdom to Cricket Bumpie Land !!!
Re: Friday, Friday, Gettin' Down on Friday !!!
As of yet, I have no real confessions.
We've booked our trip to Puerto Rico for 6 days (TR-Tues). The in laws are coming up to watch Nolan. He'll go to daycare on the weekdays. He's only met them a handful of times. We're leaving so early in the morning that we can't say goodbye. I really hope that we can enjoy the trip without me being sad the whole time.
I let D play with baby dolls. My sister is in charge of the preschool program at or church and is constantly bringing home toys to clean. When D gets to her house in the morning the toys are usually next to his. He picks them up, gives them a kiss, and hands them to me. Sometimes he walks around holding them. I just think it means he will be a good father one day.
Then day before he died, he asked her if he could borrow $10,000 to save our house (they are extremely wealthy...they have a house in both Massachusetts and Florida, etc.)
She said no.
At his funeral, she pulled me aside and I thought she was going to offer her condolences. Instead she said "your dad had us consign on a student loan for you and I'm not about to shell out 6 grand when that goes into default so you have to call your school like...yesterday."
She also stopped giving me and my siblings birthday money because she wanted to start saving up for her 3rd house and needed to make some cuts.
All of the other grand kids still get gifts.
SCANDAL!
I pay tons of money and they never do shit for me. They also never tell us anything. We're in negotiations and anytime I ask a steward they say, "We're working on it." I pay you $80 a month...care to tell me what you're working on? Oh, a 2% raise in exchange for taking away our personal time and allowing our managers to schedule us full-time hours? SUCK IT.
SCANDAL!

FFFC #2: I have never watched RHONJ, gossip girl, Desperate Housewives, the Bachelor/ette, Jersey Shore, or Sex and the City. Oh and Grey's I only watched for 2 seasons.
MIL is always asking how he got this bump, that scratch, etc, and I always say "I don't know", then she starts in on her "don't you watch him?!". Truthfully, no. If he's in his bedroom playing, I let him be. If he drug out some pots and pans in the kitchen, I let him be. He doesn't need me hovering over him making sure he doesn't bump his head on door frames.
In my defense, I hate them, so I never make them, but I thought it'd try something new for G. He hated it. We resorted to a bowl of Cheerios instead.
SCANDAL!
I hope that as he grows up, DS shows no interest in joining the military. If there is a war going on and he joins and gets deployed I think I would lose it. I would probably go insane and/or kill myself if he were to die while enlisted.
I hope to God that my view on this changes as he gets older because I have a lot if extended family and friends who are in the military and I appreciate what they and the rest of the military do for my country. I would love to be proud of DS's choice if he joined instead of feeling scared and selfish about it. But right now, nope, never gonna happen. I won't allow it.
I find this funny. I've been making grilled cheese sandwiches since I was 10.
I find this funny. I've been making grilled cheese sandwiches since I was 10. Well, when I was 10 I was watching Saved By the Bell, woman! You need to watch ALL EPISODES!
Touché
High five, girls!!!
O does the same with big sis' toys. If he's happily playing then I'm happy. I don't get what the big deal is but my family would flip out if they saw him playing with C's Rapunzel doll and putting on her tiaras. I think it's freaking cute and all part of being little brother to a big sister who loves princesses. He's been C's dress up buddy since day one. And it all started with a ring
I am opting out now that I can, too. I was just fine in Florida for six years with no union representation. I disagree with many things our union advocates for, so I'm happy to have an out. I didn't sign up for the new dues system. I just need to send a certified letter to our union and the district.
DS's birthday party is tomorrow and my heart is just not in it. I didn't do anything special. Bought 95% of the stuff vs making it. He has an outfit to match the party. I'm wearing something I already own. I think if DH were here it would be different.
