FRIDAY CONFESSIONS

I feel really stupid even admitting this and perhaps a bit bratty (I'm admitting this upfront)- I can't post this on my BMB. I feel kind of pathetic that since none of my friends offered to throw a baby shower for us, my mom feels like she has to now. The last thing I want is for my mom to feel like she's obligated to this (wants to and obligated to are different). Several people in my family have asked her when it's going to be since they found out I was pg and she'd been telling people she has no idea since traditionally it's not her responsibility (I know traditions have changed a bit on this). But now that I have 12 weeks left, she feels that if no one else wants to, she has to. I'm staying out of it for the most part, she's asked for some people's addresses so if she wants them I'll give them. I keep telling her that it's not something she has to do (DH doesn't get any of this etiquette stuff and think he can just go around asking who's doing it) Yes, I realize a shower gift and yes, I realize that not everyone gets one so really I shouldn't feel like this & it makes me sound gift grabby. But when your other friends have had their showers thrown by friends, it makes you kind of feel crappy. Another part of me also feels like just saying f' it all together and just not having one.
Also-nothing on FB about this please
My mom and sister threw mine for Collin. None of my friends are married or have kids, so they have no concept of the etiquette. I wouldn't stress over it at all.

Wow, I seem really pissed off. I'm not though. Just disenchanted with humanity right now.
Seriously. I can't understand why people care so much or why they feel the need to yell at everyone how they feel about it. I wish people would just stop talking.
On a related note, I'm inclined to ask all of the preachy people on my FB if they're going to eat mass amounts of duck in protest this time around.

Jennie Writes Words ~~~ We Still Read ~~~ Presidential Challenge
I've never watched an episode of Duck Dynasty. I don't plan to either, but not because of the comments, because I do't find the premise to be all that appealing. I'm just not interested.
I'm putting together my meeting agendas and monthly email templates for 2014 because that's really all the focus I have today. I'm not going to be able to get anything serious or meaningful done today. Plus, I'll feel better about leaving (soon I hope!) if these things are in place.
BIL is coming into town and MIL has made plans for all of for the 6 days he's around. I know I'll have fun, but I'm already exhausted just thinking about it and wanting to hide under a blanket with my dogs and a book.
