Events of a LifeTime????

AUGHH!!! ENOUGH ALREADYYY!!! I swear I just want to scream! I DREAD the invitation! You know what I mean, you go out to the mail ready for your junk mail, your bills and of course your juicy magazines!!! Then there is the even more fun stuff! The packages!! But I DO NOT under any circumstances enjoy getting the INVITE!

It really is like the curse of the black pearl for us! husband tries to stuff it back in the mail box, i keep hoping it will fall in the trash before we get inside and then it sits on the counter...staring at us...begging us to open it! We throw mail on it, we spill stuff on it and yet is still standy there as though it's telling us IT WILL WIN...

Finally we've had enough, it just won't back down and one of us opens it....blahhh another one of those events that you just DO NOT understand for the life of you WHY you have to go and why people would want you there?????

Then comes the inevitable run for the calendar in hopes we have plans that day!! If not, we lose again and up comes the argument over who has to call and RSVP!

I'm a small family type of person! I HATE having to invite people to my kids birthday parties, why? because i HATE going to them! They are such a pain, you don't know what to buy, you don't want to be around kids all day especially if they are not yours. Then there is of course husband, who thinks of every excuse not to go and fights it up to the last minute, but WILL NOT call and say NO himself! He's a big chicken! hahaah!

In this relationship, I am the mean one! You know the one EVERYONE blames if something is not to their liking?? "ahh well you know that Michelle, she always gets her way..." (insert a major eye roll and eveil laugh here!!!)

Little do they honestly know that my husband is tied up in the garage all day and I only let him out to go to work and make the money! Then back he goes! I make all his deicisions for him, up to what underwear to put on in the morning and he NEVER gets a say in anything we do! Yup that's me! The WICKED WITCH OF Rockford, or wherever we tend to be visiting that day!

Oh well it's hilarious!

Back to the dreaded invite!

So we actually get to this function whether it be a birthday party, bat mitzva, wedding, 3rd cousins first time using the potty, grandpas last tooth falling out..you know ANYTHING for a reason to party!

And they always turn out the same way...Husband and I talking to eachother in front of a TV with a program on we would never watch. Then we're chasing kids around that might break something because NO ONE child proofs their home (WE DO NOT EXPECT IT!!) BUT they tell us "oh they are fine, it's not a big deal....kids will be kids.... (WE DO NOT feel this way, our kids MUST behave EVERYWHERE!). So we are then ridiculed for not leaving our kids out of our site...grrrr... YET when you talk to these people again, they are the ones complaining about kim bobs son knocking over the 20$ miniature porcelain bell that was great aunt pegs. grrr....

So answer me this...

Are we the ONLY ones that CHEERED when people RSVPd NO to coming to our wedding???

The ONLY people that DANCED when people could not make it to our sons baptism

and the ONLY people that partied like there was no tomorrow when we had only 5 people in our house for Christmas??

We are a family that is just getting to know each other and we love spending this time together, not spending it together at someone elses house talking to each other!!!


So in conclusion I want to say, i'm bitchy I know! But it's time to let husband up for dinner ;)

I have to also say that we are slowly standing up for ourselves b/c a friend of mine told me that people will treat you like a child if that's the way you let them treat you!

NO MORE! We are taking a STAND!


Mom...see you next weekend ;)
