Chatbox II: The Rebirth

No, Cog. She isn't. She just left to take Mase to school and Ami to the playground.

 

Lol, I was never good at doing homework, I always left it to the last minute, and ended up doing in a huge rush!

 

well usually I'm good at doing it when I get home...but I really don't feel like it today

 

I'm good at procrastinating too. >____< Like right now, I'm a freakin' pro.

 

haha ditto

 

My head is going to explode if my fiance's mom comes downstairs and asks me one more question about our wedding plans. Seriously. It will EXPLODE.

Here's the thing about the way my brain works. I can only plan a couple things at a time. So I break up the wedding plans. First I worry about save-the-date cards and buying the wedding dress. Then I focus on the bridesmaid dresses and planning the menu. Baby steps, you know? So when she comes down stairs every f****** five minutes and asks me about obscure things that I haven't even thought about yet, it freaks my brain out. I don't like it.

 

Ah well, figures. She flies through faster than a cruise missile.

hiddennovelist, have you tried dropping to your knees, gibbering and frothing and twitching? People tend to back away slowly when you do things like that.

 

what is it with you people and reminding me that I have homework?

 

Tell her politely but firmly this is your wedding, and if you want her input you'll ask. Easier said than done, right?

But it's worth a shot. My own mother's a little suffocating like that; she'll point out things that I need to do that I've already taken care of or already have on schedule to think about later ('cause I'm like you), so I have to tell her as politely however clearly to back the heck off.

 

You know, I haven't, but I just might if she comes down here one more time. Usually Joel fields all her questions/suggestions, but I just happened to be home alone with her today, so it's been nonstop for like the past three hours...oy.

 

Sorry for the double post.

That's what everyone keeps telling me to do, Merc, but you're right, it's waaaay easier said than done. I feel bad telling her that because she's offering to pay for a lot of stuff-a whole different issue I have-so I feel like I have to listen to her input since she's paying for things. I wouldn't feel like that if it were my parents, but I've known my parents for 23 years, so our relationship is a little different...

I think my biggest problem when it comes to wedding plans and his mom is that we are both very opinionated, so we just clash over every little thing because neither of us wants to yield. The thing is, it IS my wedding...so shouldn't she be the one who yields?

Hmm...this would be so much easier if I didn't live with her.

 

When is the date?

I'm sure it'll be fine. In the end, it's not about your mother-in-law or your guests or the location or the cake or the reception... it's about you and your fiance starting a new portion of your lives together.

If you're happy (and I assume you should; you'll have been legally and emotionally tied to your love), then they have no excuse not to be.

 

The ceremony is February 2 of next year, the reception is two days later.

Thanks for the reassurance. I always get really stressed after I talk to her because I feel like there's so much I haven't planned yet that she's going to try to take over...and Joel is used to her being all controlling, so he just kinda lets her do her thing and doesn't say anything about it, which puts me in the bad guy position. You're right though, what really matters is the start of our new life and us being happy.

Edit: It just doesn't stop! I went to take a shower because Joel was on his way home and we were supposed to go out to dinner...no, apparently all THREE of us are going to dinner...to discuss things.

EFF.

 

Why, oh why wasn't I here when the cow discussion was going on?

*makes note to sleep ater at night, or wake up earlier*

On a second thought I like the waking up earlier idea better


A.J., Everyone, I repeat, Everyone from India has seen cows AT LEAST once! You get to see 2-3 on every street

 

I made it to page 39. Yeah.
This doesn't feel the same as the Tavern.
Hi.

 

I'm glad. I always felt an outsider in the tavern.

 

It's the people posting inside it that made 'The Tavern', not the name.

Though the name for this thread is a little...unimaginative, in my opinion

But anyway, the same people are 'chatting', so it feels the same to me.

 

Good morning everyone.

 

Hello people.

 

Me. I'm annoyed. I keep losing things. This apartment must have some kind of vortex. Or Pixies really do borrow my things. I found the last two things I lost, and they were in places I looked before.

 

Sounds like you have Schwarzenegger mice. They pick up tings und move zem arownd, uns leave zem utter plazes.

 

Excuse me, I'm going to go laugh my behind off in the nearest corner.

And I can't believe I missed a conversation about cows. Drat.

 

All that ever vanishes in our home is socks and tupperware containers. It is a conspiracy and they are taking over the world! Seriously! Me and my friend Denise are onto it all now.

 

In your house, I would guess the gremlins haved names: Calamity Amity and Mase the Maelstrom?

(Especially if the socks turn up as food paintbrushes)

 

LOL! Probably!

Anyways, while it was a really wonderful day today, the evening has become quite stressful and I have to go try and destress now. Take care all.
