I am completely dumbfounded right now as to how this even happens. FIL, who spent the night last night en route to a family event, called MIL this morning and they decided to come back early and stay at my house tonight. Didn't ask us, just decided. How LOVELY, for me, to be able to now spend all day cleaning and prepping a Mother's Day brunch to cook for her tomorrow because I can't get brunch reservations (I tried). Seriously, the ONE THING I asked DH for for myself for Mother's Day was to not cook for the day. I don't care if DS poured me a bowl of cheerios for breakfast, I just didn't want to make it or clean it up. I also *was* going to have 7 whole hours all to myself today to work on a million nursery projects. (DH took DS to the family event today and I rarely get time alone like this.) I think I'm going to cry. Third Mother's Day in a row, ruined. I think next year I'm booking myself a hotel room. Alone. If DH and the DSs don't end up having to cater to MIL yet again, they can maybe come visit me with a bowl of cheerios.
I'm so sorry! You should make your DH cook brunch- that's just not fair for your ILs to decide to stay without asking. Sounds like something my ILs would do. If you end up having to cook anyway, you should go out and treat yourself to a mani/pedi or do something fun. I hope you have a great Mother's Day despite the rain cloud that has appeared.
I set up stuff for a plant sale, had 3 customers in 3 hours. Boo. And for the best part.... I wore capris (so so comfy) and FORGOT SUNSCREEN on my sad white legs. My shins are fried.
But my sweet DH took the kids to inlaws yesterday afternoon, and is just now on his way back home, so I've had some sweet time off from the kids.
At least I already shaved this morning, right?
With Mother's Day tomorrow would have thought you would have more customers. Stinks for both! Super pale girl sympathy.
We finally have everything delivered to our house from the registries and mostly everything set up, apart from some decorative things I'd like to put up. I feel like we are ready aside from some practical things that I'm sure will come up. It's a great feeling. After my sister gave birth on Thursday I felt like shit was getting real so I went to town. It was just the kick in the ass I needed
It's cool that you will have babies so close in age! Do you know if they will be the same sex? How are she and baby doing?
Both girls she and baby are doing great, they got to go home this morning 6lb little peanut bebe.
Went to see my mom today and she totally filled the back of my car with baby stuff she's bought.
This is what my mom has been doing, too. "Oh, I was out, so here are eleventy million things I picked up!"
Yup ever since my mom found out that we're doing an ocean themed nursery she's bought ALL the things. Including ordering ever stuffed animal the Vancouver Aquarium sells.
(This is super looong-sorry not sorry) My BILs wedding is DONE!!! The whole planning process was a complete shit show with huge lack of communication. Her family was constantly late for everything and kept changing answers to things about the wedding. But, it's DONE!!!!!!! They're married and hopefully I don't have to see her family again for years I mentioned the bridal shower issues when they were happening including invitations being sent the Tuesday before the shower. Then the bride, her mother, and her sister got in a fight the day before and her sister called my MIL saying the shower was cancelled. It wasn't actually but what in the actually fuck. Her family didn't show for pictures prior to the ceremony today. They got there 20 minutes before the ceremony which was almost 90 minutes late. So. Glad. It's. Finished. In better news-I danced like a mad woman until the Braxton hicks kicked in. It was fun. And I got a second cupcake.
jcprn We won that battle! Only DH is going, end of story. We were waffling on DS1 but they pushed DH too far on it and he put his foot down thankfully. They gave up on me and baby after we told them the pediatrician was not in favor. Still lots of drama and they are not happy with us about it (literally heard an hour ago from MIL about how she traveled internationally with a 14 week old... because that is so the same). But it is settled, we are not budging.
kemdupuis thank you for the sweet words! Happy Mother's Day to you, too. They said at dinner they will leave shortly after breakfast so I should thankfully still have most of the day. MIL asked if we had any special Mother's Day traditions or meals and I sweetly replied not yet, we spent my first and second Mother's Day with her and celebrating niece's birthday so have not had a chance to establish any.
