Priorities...
OK, can I just say I am so pissed off right now?
I know I have a tendency to dwell on things and make myself even more upset than I need to be, so maybe if I write it all down I will feel better.
We are getting married in August. (yay!) We will not be in town for this. We have scheduled a casual reception for the second Saturday after we get back. We did not plan it for the first Saturday we get back because I want more than 4 days to get everything in order, and that is also a weekend we would have the girls. They won't be able to stay at the reception all night, so we thought it best that it be on a weekend they are with their mother. We don't want it the weekend after that because it's Labor Day and Labor Day weather here is always kind of iffy, and it is a weekend we'd have the girls. (We will be outside). So the weekend after would be even more of a chance on weather.
Here is the problem. My mom, dad, brother and sister-in-law won't be able to make it. Because...
They are leaving that Saturday to go fishing in New York.
I have to reschedule my reception for a fucking one-day salmon-fishing trip. It's not like they're going to be on a week long vacation or something. They leave Saturday, fish Sunday and come home Sunday.
My mother had the nerve to ask me why I can't have it a different day. Apparently the above reasons are not good enough. Then she asked me why I couldn't have it on a Friday. What? So I can rush home from work at 5 to be be at MY FUCKING RECEPTION by 6? And R would have to leave work early, because in the summer He's lucky to be done with work by 7?
I. AM. PISSED.
Just like my mother. I can just hear her saying, "Oh, the world can't inconvenience jAG. It's always all about you, isn't it?"
Well yeah, mom. On that day it is. Fuck you and the train you rode in on.
Is this even proper? Do I have to change my date to one that is inconvenient for us so they can go fishing? Or can I just say look, this is when it is. Come if you can. Because that's what I want to do.
And now she has said to "let her know if there is anything she can do to help." Like baking or something. No. How about you not make me reschedule? How's that for help? Huh?
All right. I don't feel much better, but at least I got it all out.
