Re: **Whine Wednesday**
We are finalizing our wills today (I know, this should have been done long ago) and I have Jer as the executor (of course), but it makes me sad that I do not really have a "back up" if something happens to him.
Picking my mom would not be wise, as she is older and my siblings are awful. Well, my little bro isn't, but at 27 he has the maturity and responsiblity of a 9 year old.
Le sigh....
Ang, I feel your pain. Right now I have one of my sisters as backup. However, based on what happened with my sibs when I was the executor of my mother's will I am leery about letting any one of them touch my affairs. Ugh. I didn't want to burden a friend with this, so I'm seriously thinking about making my attorney the backup instead. I shudder to think of the hissy fits my family would have when they find that out, but I guess since I'll be gone I won't know or care about that.
My family is just full of drama right now.
I haven't spoken to my Mom in weeks now b/c she's still mad that we didn't come over on the 4th of July. The reason we didn't go over was because Stella was napping. We were going to go when she woke up but my sister called and said they weren't waiting for us to eat b/c she wanted to take my niece to see the fireworks.
Things were ok for a while but then my parents refused to come have pics taken with my sister, niece and DH, Stella & I. My parents deal with a lot with my sister but these pics were planned for weeks and they didn't come. It hurt my feelings a lot. I know I should be the bigger person and call her, but I'm not ready to be mature enough yet.
I'm so sick of the drama that I'd write them off completely if it weren't for Stella (there is a lot more stuff that has gone on in the past besides this to make me feel this way). It pains me to think that she would grow up without knowing her grandparents.
Two - I am sorry you guys aren't connecting. It will get easier.
Labbie - thanks. I might have my younger cousin as a backup.
Two -I also feel your pain... my DH is just not a talker... about anything... its like pulling teeth to have any sort of conversation with him
My whine -
Our toilet in the upstairs bathroom (DHs bathroom) has been running for weeks - I keep trying to get DH to fix it, but he wont/doesnt/procrastinates/etc. Finally, we got our water bill in the mail (which I pay), and its $130! Its normally $45. Grrr.... Now DH is finally trying to fix the toilet, but apparently, our brand toilet is incredibly impossible to find parts for, and so instead DH is just going to buy a new toilet.
If this doesnt work TJ - Im going to try and have him call your hubby!
