Damn you PMS
I just want to cry over everything. Plus, not a good day to bring up possibly going to Florida for Christmas with my family, since I knew what Adam would say. I just want to sit and sulk.
Plus, we stopped at Starbucks and I got a regular coffee when I totally should have gotten a hot chocolate. >:-0

Re: Damn you PMS
i hate those days, there are days when i'm super nasty to jay and i just say its PMS dont take much offense to it, it will pass.
Whats happening with xmas? He doesnt want to go?
Well, this year is my family's turn to visit my aunt and uncle in FL for Christmas. We've been alternating going there and them coming here for Christmas for like, 20 years. It's gotten harder as we have all grown up and starting different parts of our lives.
My BIL's parents didn't put up any protest when my sister brought this up, and so my sister and BIL and nephew go with us every time we go down there. In the 4 years Adam and I have been together, he's never gone to FL (which has been 2 times) and I didn't expect him to, since we were just dating. I was hoping this year was the year he'd go. I can understand that even though he likes my family, I'm not sure that 3 days with them is a dream vacation (even though my family is totally a blast to be with - seriously).
So basically, I'm not sure I want to use my credit card to buy a plane ticket (I just paid them off finally) and a ticket is over $300, I won't drive down there alone (and he said he doesn't want me to), but I don't want to stay here and miss Christmas with my family. On the other side, it's not necessarily fair of me to ask him to miss Christmas with HIS family, either. He's an only child, so it would just be us, his parents and his mom's parents. The biggest part is that regardless of all those things, it's our first Christmas married and I don't want it to be spent apart.
Our original plan if he would have gone would have been to leave Dec 23rd late and come back on Dec 27 (driving there and back), and he said, "well that's my entire break from work." Which is true. So I suggested today that we come back on the 26th instead and it was probably the last time we'd go down there, he just was like, "I don't know, I'm not sure what my mom would think if I were to ask her, my grandparents are getting older (wtf?? like my grandmother isn't getting older??), my grandma just had a stroke (with no side effects, I'm sorry that's insensitive, but it's true) and they have a limited number of years left. I just don't think my mom would go for it." Really??
I know that I need to compromise and I don't want to guilt trip him into doing something he doesn't want to do. Likely we'll stay here, and I'll give up seeing my family. I don't know. It's so stressful. Luckily my sister and her bf won't be going, so I'll have some family here, but it won't be the same. And Christmas is HUGE in my family.
