Re: FFFCs
My confessions are lame because my life is super boring right now:
There's some family drama going on right now with my dad's side of the family and H's family, and I am SO glad we live too far away to get wrapped up in all that ish. And now my grandfather on my mom's side is sick, which has her worried that he won't make it to our next family trip out there in 2014 and we'll have to go back before then for his funeral. Depressing.
I can't believe school is getting ready to start again. Where did the summer go? I feel like it was Memorial Day just yesterday, and school starts for OSU a week from Monday. I need to go to Walmart this weekend and stock up, because I won't be able to get into the parking lot of either Walmart in town starting on like, Wednesday. Lame.
We've put JJ in gymnastics lessons, and he's really enjoying them so far [they're going much better than swimming did]. A tiny part of me hopes this sticks so he can become some world-famous gymnast someday. I've clearly been watching too much of the Olympics.
A nestie on another board has become sort of my "personal shopper" since I'm fashion-challenged. She posted a bunch of links for me of clothing pieces I should try based on my height, size, job, etc. I'm ridiculously happy to have another pair of eyes "shopping" for me. I'm lame.
I am in effing tears tonight because my mom and DH got into it over money that my sister owes us for her cell bill. She has unlimited everything and we charge her $50 a month. She pays sporadically and will often times go 6 or months without paying a dime. My mom tried to pull the whole "well she babysits for you" card tonight and it totally pushed me over the edge. The 15 to 20 hours she has spent "watching" B does not equal $600, for a years worth of cell phone bill. Sorry, but no. I asked my sister what she expected when she watched B and she said nothing.
Now DH is saying that my mom should not babysit for me on Thursdays since we do not pay her. He apparently thinks that she expects to be paid every time she watches B after the argument tonight.
Effing great!!! My schedule is so sporadic and last minute sometimes that I need to be able to ask someone (usually my mom) to babysit.
Apparently my family is not a family that can do anything for "free" suddenly. They put me and my kids in the middle and I am now pissed at my mom and DH and admittedly my sister too for not paying on a regular basis.
What do you mean that's the wrong side? Tastes great to me!
Why do you allow this? I would have suspended the phone line about 9 months ago.
How old is your sister and why is your mom involved at all?
