And to top it off after driving an hour in the snow - my computer isn't fucking working. I hate Mondays.

I also found the halftime show last night incredibly cheesy.  Some people on Facebook were saying it was awesome and I'm wondering if we watched the same show or if I'm broken.  But, dancing sharks and beach balls?  I was cringing.

LOL. The beach balls had buck teeth, too! It was hilarious to me. And I still can't get that Missy Elliott song out of my head!

YES and YES. It's like they went to Walmart to purchase literally the most hideous neon cheeseball "retro" costumes (you fail again at being retro, Katy) and then gave a bunch of weed to the guys playing sharks and beachballs, who all looked totally dazed and confused. And to top it off, she got to sing "Firework" while riding atop the star from The More You Know. Vomitorium.

akraus2015 I am so sorry you had to hear that! What a horrid thing to say. I'm sorry that you have lost that positive aspect of your relationship with your fiancé, but know that as long as you two love each other that's all that Really matters. Hopefully she will come around.

Thank you for the kind words. I know I shouldn't let it bother me but it definitely does. Thankfully he is a wonderful man and stood up for me, and our marriage.

achromia, thanks for the kind words as well!

I'm glad to hear that he spoke up about what his mother said immediately. He sounds like a good guy and, regardless of what she may have said, it sounds like you are together for the right reasons.

I'm with rayschicky, hopefully she will realize the error of her ways... but either way don't let anyone steal your happiness. You're getting married in three months to a wonderful man! Congratulations!

joy, I'm going to have to disagree--I lurved the dancing beach balls, sharks and palm trees

My husband looked at me - dead serious - and said: "Joy, did you put acid in my drink?  Why are there palm trees dancing?"

It was so ridiculous.

I'm at work.

Sounds like I didn't miss much since I couldn't watch the super bowl!

Any commercials worth going back to watch??

Not really. DON'T watch the nationwide one. Seriously, wtf was that shit?!

OMG Seriously!!

Agreed, do NOT watch the Nationwide one. The running favorites at the party I was at were Clash of Titans/Liam Neeson, and the Breaking Bad one. (And the new Pitch Perfect 2 trailer )

My bitch: I've slept like crap the last two nights. Saturday was dog-related (I think he was just upset because MH was away for the weekend). He was fine last night, but between worrying about him and the insanity that was last nights 4th quarter, I kept waking up constantly!

Also, I really hope my sore throat is from screaming at the game last night, and not because I'm catching the plague from the cast full of pre-teens I was dealing with all weekend...

[joy]

And now I've watched the Nationwide commercial. Who in holy fuck thought that was a good idea?

It was so terrible it was borderline amazing. Also, we dubbed the lion she was riding Mecha-Simba, so between that and "The More You Know" star, we were all dying from laughter.

The snow flurries. I know you guys up north are getting tons of snow, but down here when people see two snow flakes, traffic stops and everyone buys ingredients for French toast. We had nice weather most of last week, so any frozen precipitation we got would only make the roads wet, not icy or even mildly slippery. People need some common sense.

Mine today is my future MIL. Last Monday I bitched because she was acting funny and I couldn't figure out why. Well, be careful what you wish for! Friday she had my fiancé and me over for dinner and ambushed us by telling us that she didn't support our marriage because she felt like I didn't love her son for the right reasons. This from the woman who has been my best friend and a second mother to me for the past 10 years. Thank you SO much, future MIL, for 3 days worth of crying this weekend, and throwing that curve ball just 3 months from the most important day of our lives. (As you can probably tell, I'm still absolutely furious.)

Edit: spelling

WTAF?! I am so sorry. That's horrible. What a total curveball. 

[gdaisy09]

Ugh. Bitch #2 if you are going to drive in the snow, learn to drive in the snow. Some asshat in a saab decided tailgating me was a good idea this morning. I was going 35 in a 40, the roads were terrible.

What's got your blood boiling today?

I love that movie!

[peaseblossom55]

I think I'm getting a cold. I feel awful congested and really tired. I had such a bad night of sleep with pretty awful dreams.

[becwheat]

DD woke up with pink eye and so we are at home today. Pink eye is the worst cause she still has a ton of energy, can't be around other kids and I spend all day saying: "Stop touching your eye!" & "Ugh, Now go wash your hands."

When she is sick with a cold or illness she will just lay on the couch and I can work from home, not today. Nothing will get done.

[ohinvrtedworld]

The snow sucks donkey balls today. Ugh.

akraus2015 sorry your FMIL said that to you after 10 years!? Props to your fiancé for sticking up for you.

Missy was they only good thing about the halftime show. Bringing some 00's greatness!

@wallflwr926 Not a real excuse to call out. Car seat base is not necessary, you can just strap it to the seat with a seat belt.

fuzzylogic My H does that all the time too. Especially with produce, which is not cheap.

I know that and I'm pretty sure she does too. That's why I'm so irritated with her. I dont want to appear heartless because i understand completely understand her anxiety about bringing the baby out in the snow. However, I've told her a million times she needs to get a backup base to prevent things like this from happening.

[negirl824]

((hugs)) to everyone!

Going on all these commercials, DH thinks because of the domestic abuse and child abuse that has come from NFL players this year the NFL chose commercials to tug at the heart strings of men and fathers.

My bitch is I wanted to nap today when DD did but instead I have to snow blow the driveway.

akraus2015 Your fiancé gets major points for standing up to his mom, that is awesome. And I am so sorry you had to hear that from her ((hugs)) That just seems strange from a woman you have know for so long. Do you have any idea where it was coming from?

fuzzylogic Ugh! DH like to leave food out on the counter too. It is maddening. I hate being wasteful. DH also doesn't understand that you can't just leave certain things on the counter and have it "be ok." Have fun with your food poisoning honey...

Hope everyone stays safe from the snow!

I really have no complaints this morning, I had a great weekend and the day off tomorrow. If I think of something later I will be sure to let you all know

nuggetrn, the only thing I can think of is that we had to move in with them for about 3 months, and living with someone opens you up to the ins and outs of their personal life. Either way it was inappropriate, but everyone's kind words today have put many smiles on my face. I'm glad to have found such a wonderful community of people.

I'm glad you have nothing to bitch about today. That is great!

Aww that really sucks. I'm so sorry. I will say that I've seen weddings bring out the absolute worst in people. But that is a small consolation. Sorry you have to spend the the weekend upset and depressed about things. I hope she calms down and sees how horrible she was being. (hug)

I remember my MIL got screamed at by her niece (MH's cousin) about how no one thought I was good enough for MH all because I didn't invite her boyfriend to the wedding. The ironic thing is I WANTED to invite her bf, but MH said absolutely no way. To this day the cousin won't speak to me, but falls all over my husband. I always tease MH that I'm going to tell his cousin that HE was the one who didn't want her BF to go. "But then she won't speak to me... " 

Weddings do make people crazy. I'm loving the planning and our engagement, but it will be nice to settle down after the big day is over.

Not anytime soon. I need to calm down a bit first.

I never considered that. That's an interesting point.

[rufus426]

akraus2015 I am so sorry about your FMIL It is awesome that your fiance stood up for you. My MIL tells me that I stole her son away from her, so she is constantly putting me down and blames everything on me. DH sticks up for me and that is the only reason I put up with it. If he didn't have my back, we would have problems.

My bitch is DH's stupid work and stupid school. He works for FedEx and he is expected to work in today's weather and get everything delivered/picked up, as he would on a normal day. He also takes night classes on Monday and Tuesday and the community college that he goes to is the only college in our area that is not closed the full day. They are closed for day classes, but are still having the night classes. You know, when there is supposed to be 10+ inches on the ground. So I am home all day and DH won't be home until probably 10:30 PM.

[mustloveerica]

My bitch today is that I ordered a really awesome Valentine's Day gift for DH. Normally we just do little cutesy stuff but this year I spent a lot on something he will love. Well my tracking info says it was delivered to my work on Saturday. And here it's nowhere to be found. So it either got stolen or swept away by the snow plow. I'm beyond angry. I can't afford to order a second one if it's gone :-(

[wanderingheart]

akraus2015 hugs to you. That's absolutely awful. I'm sorry she said those things, but I'm glad your fiance stood up to her.

My bitch this morning is my body. Still not ovulating. Still frustrated.

My Monday Bitchfest of the day is that I got had a huge IBS flare up and didn't sleep all night because I was up all night with severe stomach cramping and bathroom issues. When I called out this morning in explaining this to my boss, I could tell that he thought I was just hung over from the superbowl party I told him I was going too when we were all talking about our weekend plans on Friday afternoon. I'm not hungover I never went to bed yet because I've been in the bathroom all night, but his mind is made up and he is a new boss so he doesn't know that I only call out when I'm really sick. ugh!

I don't know how to make him think otherwise and I'm upset, because I'm trying to build a good reputation with him.

Ugh, I'm sorry to hear this. I know that feeling and it really sucks. I also have tons of stomach issues, and when I was teaching, I would have to call in sick because I couldn't leave my classroom to go to the restroom at a moments notice. My boss always assumed that I was young and must party a lot. He even confronted me with it once. Sad that some people always assume the worst.

Awww I'm sorry you had to experience that too and be confronted about it! Ugh!

[achromia]

Gah. The second bridesmaid dress I ordered for SIL's wedding in April is as big a fail as the first one.

She's doing that 'mismatched dresses' thing and just shared a photo of a bunch of chiffon dresses in various shades of blue, asking us to find something in the same color family. First I ordered something from David's Bridal - the photo looked like a pretty, deep aqua - and then it arrived DARK navy blue, almost black. Nope. Found something on Amazon that looked nice, so... Second dress ("tiffany blue") came this morning. It is seafoam green and the bust is huge. I hate dress shopping.

[thycapa]

akraus2015 I'm so sorry about your FMIL and the way she made you feel. I hope everything gets straightened out. Weddings unfortunately can bring out the best and Worst in people, because people deal with emotions by lashing out sometimes at things they don't even mean. Your Fiance sounds amazing for standing up for you and as long as the two of you stand as a united front, hopefully she will realize that the way you love each other is beautiful and right for your marriage and it's not for her judgement.

[mustloveerica]

I take my bitch back because Amazon customer service is AMAZING!!

Also because this is happening right now...
