the weekend shenanigans

After reading my last entry over again today, I realize that I got completely off track with why my problem was, and that entry really didn't say what I was feeling or why I was upset. So I'm going to try again.

I was upset at KS mom, not BM. I was upset at KS mom because she hung out w/ BM on KS daughters birthday when she told KS (who told me) that it was just to be her and her granddaughter. I confronted KS on this because it was bothering me, and I didn't know how to control my emotions about it, who to talk to about it, or how to act around KS mom since I was very upset. He said that maybe she just invited herself along, and his mom couldn't say no. And I thought that may have been a valid point, but the BM has a boyfriend at home, and another kid (w/ that boyfriend), so how did they get left home and only she and her daughter going w/ KS mom? It had to be planned/invitation for her to go because how else would she find care for the other child?

The thing that upsets me is that KS mom is always saying how she doesn't like BM. And I've talked to my sister and KS about this, and they both told me---that I'm being too black and white about it (you like that J?) That I'm only seeing it in my perspective and not for what the situation is. To me, if I don't like someone, I don't associate any more than I need to. I won't take them to dinner, hang out and buy them presents. Is that wrong? Hell no. Espeically if I talk bad bout someone, the LAST thing I'd do is go against myself and act differently than what I spoke. See, that's my thing...actions speak louder than words. If you say something--it means nothing, but when you act a certain way, and do things a certain way..that shows what you mean more so than any words could ever say. And thats my problem. KS mom says one thing, but does another. And I have a problem with that.

And here is what really makes me mad, and what really drove the anger in me. Remember back when she and I were supposed to meet for lunch and spend the day together one Saturday? Well, she called me that morning telling me that she had a visitor (her granddaughter/ks kid) and that she was coming along, and that we weren't spending the day together bonding (as said prevoisly). The day was spent buying granddaughter things and visiting daddy. No me in that day. But yet, she can invite BM to dinner by themselves and do that. With someone she doesn't like. Riiiight.

I'd love for her to tell me again how she doesn't like her. And you know she hasn't. She hasn't spoken one word negatively about BM in a while. Makes me angry. How can you befriend someone who has treated and still treats your son like a bad person? I know, it's because she wants to see her granddaughter, blah blah blah. But does that mean she has to go to this extent? NO. KS tried teling me that its her way of ensuring that she sees her granddaughter because BM likes to throw fits if she doesn't get her way and threaten to not let anyone see the kid. Yeah, the last time she thew those words around was..hmm...4 years ago! So get the fuck over it you know? KS got in a screaming match with her last weekend before he was to see her for the weekend. Do you think she said "well fine then, you can't see your daughter this weekend?" Heck no. And you know why? Because she doesn't want the kid, she wants to get rid of her. So I"m over the excuse of his mom is scared of not seeing her.

then, to put the icing on the cake...I went out for drink with my sister this weekend, and so I had a few beers in me when I got home and that could be the reason WHY I reacted how I did. I walked through the door and apparently I didn't speak to anyone, well except for my cat. So I came back out after getting changed and sat looking at pictures KS mom gave us. She got a few pictures developed that she wanted to share with us. You know what most of the pictres were from my wedding were of? Not the bride and groom. But her granddaughter. KS mom said, here's a picture your dad (she said to KS) just HAD to get developed. It was a wedding background one of those specialtly ones, and it was of their granddaughter. You know my wedding was the one fucking day where I wanted to be all attention on me. Any other days, weeks, years they can take full attention on that child, but your son just got married and all they cared about was pictures of her. Now I know I sound like bridzilla, but come on! One day, it was my wedding day. So I bawled when I was flipping through them. KS felt my pain, and said he understood an that he was equally as disapointed. And then the next day...KS mom brings soemthing in from her car that she hands to me while saying "I bought this for (granddaughter) for Myrtle Beach this year, but she doesn't like it so I thought you could use it" Fuckign great. Add onto it why dont' ya! And i know its the thought that counts, but it just added to my already frustrated self. She didnt' buy it for me, she bought it for her grandchild, and I got the second handedness of it.

I have issues. I know that. I take this all on myself. I think "what did I do wrong, what am I not doing that they don't appreciate or like me?" I think "well, If I was prettier/thinner maybe they'd want more pictures of me, or maybe they'd like me more" I mean I"m educated, smart, funny, easy-going, but yet I feel that it isnt' good enough. Why? Because of their actions. Why does KS mom like to hang out w/ BM when she's so evil, but yet when it comes to me, she doesn't SHOW any respect for my feelings (or KS) when doing what she does. KS excuse for her is she's an idiot. But I dont' believe that or buy it at all. I give people more credi than that. so there's my rant, I feel better.

On a positive note, there's only 3 weeks of coaching left! I haven't ever been excited about coaching to end until this season. The coach I work with is just clueless. Well, he's a typical der-der-der guy who has no awareness of anything. And on another positive yet negative note, 6 weeks till Myrtle Beach vacation. Only this year, we're bringing 6 year old, and KS mom and I aren't getting along. Woohoo bring on the fun.

the married life

So Marine wants to hear about married life. I don't know that today would be the best day to write about it, but I will because I'm frustrated and I'm angry.

In talking to KS daughter today I find out that on her birthday (2 days after our wedding) she took her granddaughter out to dinner.....with the mom. Now, I guess for most people that would be fine and dandy, but this woman (KS mom) says that she doesn't like her,and only does the minimum to keep things so that she can see her granddaughters. I'm not sure if you remember a while back at Christmas where I got upset that she was buying BM (baby mom) Christmas presents. I told KS about what I found, and he confronted his mom and she had excuses, etc. Whtatever. So I'm at my wits end as to what to do about this current situation.

BM has been screaming at KS all week about how she's taking him to court for more money, how this weekend him picking her up on Saturday after work wasn't good enough and that he needed to get her Friday. He wasn't going to do it, but me being the nice gal that I am, offered to watch her for the hours he is working today. Now I know a father is supposed to get his kids every other weekend. But, KS works weekends. And, he only gets one full weekend off per month. He was planning on taking every other, but he had to fire someone on Thursday. Which sucks, because now he has to work, work, and work all those hours that the other person would have. Anyway, so I understand that every other weekend thing, but if the parent that's with them has to work, is that really doing what the every other weekend schedule is accomplishing if the parent is working? the parent isn't spending time with their child. In some cases they stay w/ the stepmom (if there is one), or the grandparent (which she takes the grandchild almost EVERY weekend), or they have to find care for them. I know I've ran this thing into the ground,a nd I'm just sick of it.

Another thing that I'm frazzled and pissed over is child support. So this bitch wants to take him to court for more money b/c daycare went up. Ok, well just b/c your expenses went up, doesn't mean you can run to the system and say "help me". Fucking figure it out! Just because expenses went up doesn't mean you can dig into Ks pockets. Believe me, I pay the bills, and they aren't that deep! He currently pays 300/a month. Which is measly I know, and he probably should pay more. When that decision was made, he was bad off. So in all fairness, being that he is better financially (thanks to me) it is fair that he pays his full amount due to child support. But, is there any reason why she needs to call him up and SCREAM and YELL at him about this? Can't she just say "Look, daycare went up and I had to file a petition for more child support, I just wanted to give you a heads up." but no. that isn't at all how it works. They get into screaming and yelling fits and he hung up on her, and she called back 4-5 times. finally he picked it up and its his daughter and she says "why do you make mommy cry. Why dont' you like her?" FABULOUS. I love how that went down. He said he about lost it. He just calmly explained to her that they just dont' get along, and that mommy says mean things to daddy and it hurts his feelings and we both just get upset.

So then she calls him (BM) later in the week to tell HIM that she doesn't appreciate him tellin gher that. SHE let her daughter call him, and she told worse things to her daughter about the converstaion...that didn't even happen!! gees.

Anyway, I'm more upset because his mom is two faced and I'm fucking tired of her put on face of how she doesn't like BM, but yet....um, she went to dinner with her, and bought her christmas presents, hangs out at Tball and soccer games. Yeah, that sounds like she doesn't like her to me.

Thursday, April 12, 2007

I am so glad I didn't need to tell PB who it was in that last entry. Although, being that we know her so well, it's not hard to figure out who that was.

On the flip side, they did reconcile and well, it wasn't pretty but they're over it. I think. D asked me to get on AIM Monday night so I did, and we were going to come up with a letter to write Queenie(CQ) yeah her. But Dee didn't wanna write her, she felt that she didnt' do anything wrong and didn't need to appologise. The only reason she wanted to was so that the wedding could go smoothly. But Queenie wasn't having it. At all. She started calling D a selfish bitch and that she didn't need to talk to her at the wedding, and how she didn't understand why D was trying to come between our frienship, and taking stabs personally at D. Saying "I thought you were cool, but now I see you for who you are."

over beer.

yeah, so anyway, D being the BRILLIANT chick that she is, changed the subject to shoes and jewlery for the wedding and Queenie quickly changed her tone and they got along fine. D said she'd buy Queenie a few beers out Saturday night. Queenie said it's ok (but we all know that it'll be the bandaid). And so that was that. Queenie never appologised for pushing and pulling on D, but D appologised for something she didn't even know was bothering Queenie.

Oh yeah, forgot that part. Queenie was mad b/c she was buying rounds of drinks, buying rounds of drinks...and in D and I's drunk-ass state we were in didn't notice her come up to us. First off, she didn't say anything about wantign a beer. I wasn't paying attention, but if she had just ASKED I'd've bought her a beer, two, three whatever. But she never said a word. She said she felt like it was a slap in the face b/c we didn't aknowledge or pat her on the back or buy her another beer after she bought 2 rounds.

Yeah, it was all over a drunken misunderstanding. At least my D appologised. Queenie can live in own world where she does nothing wrong to anyone. She still and I dont think she will ever appologise for missing the shower, or calling my sister selfish, or talking trash to D (and pushing her). Well, so yeah.

So I cried today. over the weather. it's going to be shitty on Sunday. All I wanted was to have the wedding on the beach. I didn't care who objected or didn't wanna come b/c I wanted my day in the sun and sand. And, well, I don't get my wish. It's supposed to storm and rain and wind and cold in freaking April. This time last year Queenie and I were out for her birthday in tank tops and flip flops. One year ago....and this year when I so badly wish, want, and pray for the nice weather...it's anything but.

Oh, and apparently the planner doesn't know where we're having the ceremony if it rains. Nice. We paid her 295 for ....??? Being there the day of the wedding, and hooking us up w/ vendors. Then its another 150 to go over the rehearsal....and I don't know, I'm pissy over this. I dont' knwo about tipping. I'm stressed about that. I"m stressed about the weather. I still need to wrap the bridesmaid gifts...and finish rolling the favors out. ugh. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was in Atlantic City yesterday. Did you all miss me? yeah, thought so. I did win some money at a casino. And I got a huge project done for school. Go me.

The bachelorette/bridal shower weekend

Wow, where on Earth do I start!

I'll try to keep this in some sequence.

Friday night...KS went on his bachelor party and I was left home alone. I decided to go out to dinner with my sister. AFter work I went straight to her house and visited with her and the baby. Then we thought to invite my mom out with us, and that was a fiasco. First my mom wanted me to help her load some swing up in her car and return it to Homedepo (I know its all wacked up I did that on purpose), then she wanted to do it herself. so about 830pm my sister and I finally sat at the restaurant waiting for my mom. She showed up an hour and a half later. ugh.

KS was texting me all night until his friend confescated his phone and then I didn't hear from him till 345am when I texted him good night and found out that he was still awake! I thought he'd be passed out somewhere by that point. But no, he wasn't. He started singing to me on the phone and telling me over and over how he loved me and started crying. At this point I was thinking "oh no, what'd he do?" but then his phone died and I didn't talk to him till the next morning. I was pissy b/c he said he'd call when he got back to his moms that night, and it ended up he didn't get back there. He passed out at his freinds house. Point one where I was pissed.

Saturday ....Then, he calls me at about 11am from his friends cell phone, and I was thinking..."huh, so he can call me in the morning from his friends phone, but couldn't do it last night after his phone died" point two where i'm pissed. And you know I didn't answer the phone all morning!

So I started yelling at him on the phone. Mind you...I had only gotten 3 hours sleep the night before, so I'm already annoyed/short/exhausted and angry. And my mom called me while I was at the grocery store yelling at me. She wanted me to help her return some heavy things that she had bought and said I should help her that morning. She kept yelling and telling me I should've called her when I first woke up b/c she needed help. Then after I told her I had no clue WHEN she was waking up b/c she sleeps like the dead...and she proceeded to tell me "I should've told you what your grandmother told me" and I'm thinking to myself here we go...and she proceeds "you're not appreciative of anything I do, and you're and ungreatful child and you dont' deserve anything I do for you. You should just go to a justice of the peace cause you dont' deserve a nice wedding" Point three where I"m pissed.

then I finally answer KS phone calls and proceed to yell at him for not calling me, and why he didn't call etc etc, but I catch myself and then I say to him "Look I'm not mad at you, and I don't wanna fight I"m just tired and my mom's been on my case...." CLICK he hung up. Point four where I"m pissed. And this is where everything went to hell.

I text about 4 people telling them all nevermind and the shower is off, and possibly the wedding. KS calls and calls and I yell at him telling him I"m leaving, packing my things and THE BEST PART IS I throw my phone. I begin packing my clothes up and decide that I'm goign to leave. I have no idea where I was going to go, or what I was going to do, but I packed some stuff up. And have like 5 bags of stuff to give to goodwill because was thinking I can't and don't need that many things being mobile.

I was tired of my mom and her giving me shit about the wedding. I was tired (lack of sleep), and I was just over it all. My sister called me and told me that she had this cake and my uncle was making this food and that I needed to come. SO I text everyone back (it's like 30-40 min later) and say nevermind..sorry and I go to my shower. KS and I made up, I finally answered the phone and explained myself. and I stoppped packing.

so then at the shower....Well, one friend (dee) who I texted went to Baltimore to see her grandparents and she was very, very appologetic and said she would've turned around but that she was scared to get lost. Then, the other girl just didn't come. She got in her pj's and went to her moms house. Everyone else came. Well, w/ the exception of 3mom was told 2 hours after the fact that I said nevermind. I was so pissed at 2nd girl. B.c not only is she one of my bridesmaids who's supposed to be involved, but she gave my sister crap and told my sister that she was being selfish and univolved with my whole thing just because my sister said she didn't want it held at her house. And because my sister wasnt' sure how things would be w/ the baby. but my sister did all the work, after getting grief from the girl, then she didn't come! I"m sure I don't even have to say who she is...PB knows.

Bachelorette party... 2nd girl text's me and asks if i wanna go out tonight. At this point dee is already at my house and we're ready to go out that night. I wanted to be really rude to her, but I just told her that we were still on to go out. So then you know what she says to me??? She wants to know if she and 3mom can bring their boyfreinds and I can bring KS. To.....my........ bachelorette......party. Yeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaah. Dee finally calls her and they agree where we're going and what time...and say no boys allowed. There was a fiasco w/ the driving situation b/c 2nd girl didn't want her boyfreind driving around in her car all night, so I offered to drive up and then those two guys could come pick us up (and KS would drive my car back). anyhoo...she let her boyfriend drive us all up.

So we all get there and we drink a beer then wanna do a shot. 2nd girl decides she doesn't wanna drink like that?? Really?? who doesn't wanna drink at their freinds bachelorette pary!?? But then she agrees to do 1. 1 shot. The night was fun we all danced, drank and had a blast. Until the end of the night. 2nd girl called her friends and invited them out. When they came to the bar, do you think she came over to us and introduced us all, or stayed with us? Nope. They went off into another room and danced. Which was fine to me, I was so drunk I didn't even notice, but dee did and at the end of the night her and 2nd girl almost got into a fist fight.

Sunday.... I woke up hung....over. HA. But the night was fun. I enjoyed it. Besides the girl fighting. so that was my weekend. Easter was fun, I guess. I tried to sleep through most of it.

Ok...this is prob the most writing i've done in a looong time.
