Re: FFF
I am about to slaptheshit out of someone before my friend's bridal shower is over tomorrow. Her 'dictator' of a cousin/MOH has been bossing everyone around and it turns out that she doesn't even know what she's talking about?! So now I have to change things up, again, and the shower is tomorrow!! I just hope everything turns out perfectly for my friend and that she doesn't have to see how much of a mess the planning has been, lol.
*I may DD this later*
Wish I could get up at 7 - try waking up to the alarm every morning at 4 to wake DH for work. The alarm is on my side so joy to me.
I kind of wish DH had more 'stuff' going on. I mean, he has hobbies (guitar, video games, etc.) but he basically goes to work and spends the rest of his time at home. Due to the fact that he's always at home, he's very aware of (and often annoyed with) how much I have going on.
Sure, I sometimes do TOO much, but I like to be busy. I can't just sit around. I wish he'd either do some stuff with me, find his own stuff to do, or at least hushup about it, LOL!
Oh, and I also wish that he'd step up around the house a little bit seeing as he has a LOT more free time than I do. I know it's not fair to expect that, but I really wish he would do it anyhow.
Oh, I am so glad I am not the only one. A lady that DH works with gave us a huge garbage bag of clothes for A and her daughter got them from a doctor, so they are supposed to be really nice. I go through the bag and most of it is stained and I don't mean like one little spot and most of it was walmart/kmart brand clothes. Now, the brand doesn't matter to me, but who gives away stained clothes to friends who are not hard up? I'm not trying to sound ungrateful, but at the same time, I would only pass along my nice stuff unless my friend was completely desperate and said they could use anything in any condition.
And don't even ask about making vacation plans...whole other headache.
My DH does the same thing! It's so annoying!
Count my DH in too! I HATE when I ask him something and he doesn't say anything back. It drives me NUTS! Then I say HELLO??!?! Then he gets flustered and then I get even more mad because he isn't answering and the vicious circle just keeps going. You would think that after 2 years of going through this and knowing how bad it drives me nuts, that he would just answer the stupid question when I ask it! Sheesh!

This is my DH, except he barely even has hobbies. Drives me BSC sometimes!
I cannot stand lazy people. At all. I don't even understand the mentality and the thought process of some people. Today during lunch I had to pick up a couple of things so I stopped by Walmart. Literally in the middle of one of the lanes in the parking lot was a cart. I mean seriously? And there was a cart rack RIGHT THERE. So before I went in, I took it back. It was literally two spaces from my car. When I came back out, there were two carts left abandoned in another parking space two away from mine, and only like 4 spots from the cart rack. Seriously, you can't walk 4 spaces? So I took those back too in addition to my own cart. Matt always does that too when we go somewhere. I just do.not.understand.it. Put your damn cart back!
I have a whole big vent about people who shouldn't have kids and who take advantage of assistance and all that but that'll get super long. I have someone in my not-immediate family who is doing that and are taking advantage of not only the government and taxpayers dollars, but family as well. They're living in someone's house but haven't paid rent/mortgage or utilities to him in MONTHS but have super expensive cell phones with the big perk packages and everything. The mom doesn't want to work even though they are struggling for money and there are programs that can put her child into a good day care for little cost to them but she doesn't feel like it, she just wants to be a mom. And to top it off, they're wanting to try for another baby ASAP. You can't afford your life now! Yet you want to add another child? A big part of what pisses me off most about this is that they have the house and the baby and all the things we want. We're trying to do the responsible thing and not take these things on until we can comfortably afford them and we're working our ASSES off and paying our dues left and right to get to that point and try as we might, we've not gotten anywhere. Sometimes having a strong moral compass really is no fun, so I just wanted/needed to complain for a minute about yay for us having strong moral fibre and waiting because it's the responsible thing to do, but at what point does that stop just feeling good intrinsically and actually start paying off?

3 years married already??
Wedding "Highlight" Video from our Reception!
Wedding Planning Bio!! My Married Bio!!
We had this happen with DH's dad. He had totally quit paying the bill for a while. We kicked them off our plan and he didn't talk to us for a year and a half. I think he's only talking to us now because he knows if he doesn't he won't ever get to see the baby.
