No way Sheree, she is being ridiculous.
However (not defending her I swaer) I have been there and wanted to be the perfect bride on my perfect wedding day. No matter how level headed you are a wedding is a stress. It feels like no-one wants to co-operate.
$600 is also ridiculous. Has she stopped to think for a minute that you may not be able to afford that? Is she offering to pay for it?
Geepers 4 months is heaps of time to have a dress adjusted and any good dressmaker can refit ANYTHING.
Does Wade really want to go?
Thanks girls, and Kim yes I hear you and I understand that she wants it to be just perfect and have the best of everything, I too have been there, having been married before, which probably makes me so relaxed about the whole wedding ordeal these days. Not fair I know, and I also know that it is does appear like no-one wants to co-operate on these occassions, but like I said to my sister Nik this morning, I seriously am not a trouble maker and I am 100% sure nothing else will upset me ie: dresses/shoes/makeup hair (I really don't mind what I wear at all), but she has really rippened me 8mths early with these stoopid requests. Now it looks like I am the trouble maker!
Wade said to me, it is her wedding, but he also said that he would tell me to pull my head in if I was being unreasonable and I am not! He rarely defends me hehe. Anyway he said it is her wedding but like hell we are giving our children to a babysitter we hardly know! So how she is getting around this one is anyone's guess.
Yeah no, ur right Kim, I didn't take it the wrong way. I agree with you too! I am trying to be rational and see her side of it too, but geez I just can't budge on this situation though, no matter how hard I try. I am sure this is influenced alot by her fiancee, seeing as his siblings do not have kids. Mel has been brought up so differently. Family was always a number 1 priority.
It is funny this is coming from my sister who (don't think I told you all this), gave me a hard time for not announcing officially that we were engaged to the family, quoting that "it didn't appear I thought family was important enuf to involve in such an important event in our lives". The thing is, is just slipped my mind, they all knew we bought the ring, it was just a matter of wade asking me, and we had had a pretty rough couple of weeks with Riley and by nightfall I was exhausted and fell into bed. Also I have been married before and it just didn't feel that big a deal for us. I mean if my brain had been in the right gear I would have def told our family, it just really slipped my mind. And it wasn't as if I told anyone either, Wade's mum even asked me if I had any news yet and to that answer was "oh bugger, sorry YES YES YES" ooops.....
As for my parents well they didn't know and only told mum tonight. Didn't want to appear like the dobber hehe. But thought that they should know, but asked them not to say anything, we have to sort it out ourselves. I am not sure if my mum will tell dad, cause he would go rank!!! Mum however was just confused at what the hell are we suppose to do! My dad would not be happy, I know that....
Guess we will just see what happens now. Leave it with the lap of the gods (so to speak)
i've already fallen asleep once sitting up i'm so tired it is not even remotely funny though i am baby sitting my niece and nephew today so probably not a good thing to do
Sheree: $600!! That is unreasonable and so is not letting the boys come, if it was just a friends wedding I could understand, I could even understand if you didn't have to travel so far (even then she should want her nephews there).
Leanne: How are you feeling?
Shazz: I know that tired feeling, I fell asleep on Jayden's bed (trying to put him asleep) then I woke to find he had put the whole roll of toilet paper in the toilet!!!
TT'ing is going pretty good, I dont have the energy for it all the time though but Jayden is going to the big toilet now, he will use the potty but not often. I can't believe how far we have come in just over a week! We still aren't close to ditching the nappies but thats ok there is no rush at all.
Ash has just woken up, Jayden is running riot so I better tend to them....try and get Jayden to sleep!
Its been very quiet in here lately...hope everyone is well
I just had a thought - I think it being day 13 of AF might have something to do with me being tired. Bloomin PCOS. I either don't get them for months or they linger linger linger for ever.
How we will every conceive #2 is beyond me. Katy sure is a little miracle.
Leanne have you ever tried vitex ( i think thats what it is called ) you get it from the health food store it is a liquid you take from days x to day x ( i can't remember it has been along time since i took it i have PCOS too ) it is supposed to regulate your cycle worth a try
Leanne it is called Agnus Castus Vitex and I wouldn't recommend the liquid (unless you are game), I have been told it is horrid. I took the tablets with all of our conceptions. Every time I took it the next month I was pregnant. All three pregnancies that is, only the first pregnancy we weren't trying and it was a wittle surprise (but I m/c anyways). Anyway the only downside is you have to take 3 tablets a day and you only take it up to ovulation and not past it. I didn't have very irregular af like some, but I just really think it got things moving and organised in there for us to fall pregnant. I really swear by it. You get it from a health food shop. Do a google search so u know what ur looking for when you go in there.
hehehe I took the liquid - it was gross but it's only like 2 mls once a day. I used to take it in 10mls of apricot nectar...not so bad.
Really worked for me too.
Hope you feel better soon Leanne and Shazz.
WTG Tania with the TT.
Sheree....hehe Dad's are dads for a reason lol. My dad would too.
WTG on the TT Tania, Riley still shows no interest except just before his bath when Erin takes him!
Sheree- hope Bridezilla calms down and you don't have to miss the wedding in protest. ITs funny I have always wanted to be a bridesmaid but it really doesn't sound all that appealing sometimes LOL Maybe you can turn into bridezilla for your wedding and pay her back!!
Leanne- I hope you are feeling better and gettting some vitamins!
Kim- I can't believe you are 17 weeks, how exciting. Is Darcy excited? Erin is excited on her behalf LOL
Erin is going to a tennis day today with a friend, she is getting picked up at 8.15 but has been fully dressed and ready since 6am!!! I got up at 7.30 and she was sitting watching TV (gotta love older kids)
Last night Jess minded the 2 younger kids and DH and I went to Hogs Breath for dinner and saw Tropic Thunder at the movies. It was soooo nice to have some time alone and the movie was absolutely hilarious, we loved it, go see it if you get a chance.
