My FFFC - tomorrow I am going to the biggest, fattest, italian (like, from Italy Italians) black tie New Jersey wedding and I am going to eat and drink my face off. We have been waiting a year and a half for this day. My style is generally very subdued and classic, but I am wearing a long sequined gown and manolo blahniks from my rehearsal dinner (a pre-wedding gift from DH) that have rhinestones all over the toe. I guarantee I will still not stand out at this wedding. I am going to gain 5 lbs by the next morning, and sorry. Not sorry. (Oh, DD is going to Grandma's, and if I can still walk at the end of the night, DH is probably getting a beej at the hotel).
This is absolutely the best FFFC I have ever read, from start to finish. I can get 100% on board with every detail of this ridiculous experience, including the beej.
I'm also going to a wedding tomorrow and getting shithoused drunk, so Tarheel and Peanut will be raging hard.
When I give my thoughts or advice on a thread on The Bump, I often wonder if people believe or respect it a little bit less bc of DS1's issues.
DC, I respect you more because of who YOU are as a mother. Also, Jack charmed my entire family on Monday. DH thought he was the bees knees. We all found your babes to be absolutely precious. Never go down that path, and if you do, please call me so I can pour you a cocktail, apply a coat of my favorite red lipstick, and talk some sense into ya.
I've been gone all weekend at a conference, so I missed all of this, but consider this my belated show of support for everyone who's feeling down/frustrated about motherhood and/or lying, cheating husbands who don't understand what they have thrown away.
My confession? Me, seasoned traveller, MISSED MY FLIGHT this morning because I was too cheap to get a taxi to the bus stop and was not anticipating a 20 minute security line at 5:30am. Apparently Edinburgh Airport has about 5 million flights that leave at 6 am. That is a confession because I find it very embarrassing to be at fault for missing a flight. My other confession is that the only other seats available to get back home today are business class, so I had to pay about $200 extra to be able to get home, and I am planning on fully taking advantage of all of the business perks (not many on two short 1.5 hour flights, but I'll take what I can get). In all of my years of traveling, it will be the very first time I'll fly business, so I'm kind of happy I missed the flight. I just wish I could enjoy business on an international flight instead
