I just need to vent right now...sorry! (very long)
I have stressed numerous times and in no uncertain terms that I DO NOT want a shower ( I don't like showers period to tell you the truth) but my BP and Mom pretty much said screw you you're getting one. fine what ever. I also warned all of them that I will not change my schedule around for this. I work 2 jobs (1 of which I work 2 Saturdays a month and the other I work one so that leaves me with 1 Saturday to run around like a loon). I'm on 2 committees for work and those meetings are on Wednesdays and Thursdays. I also work 9-5 M-F and 5:30-9:00 on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. So 3 of my days are pretty much 9-9. Mind you - I also have a son who anyone with children knows - they take up alot of time. My FI also works 2 jobs so we're constantly missing each other and going crazy. Saturdays after work I've been doing my running around for the wedding so that gave them just Sundays to do this stupid thing. But no - they couldn't do it on a Sunday. I found out when the shower is and I pretty much now have to cancel 2 appointments that night after I work a 9-5 shift. The thing starts at 5:30!!! The places aren't open on Sundays so I can't even move the appointments to then! I am also redoing my home and trying to get it done before the wedding since we're having guests staying with us! I'm beginning to really stress and I don't have time for something like this. It just aggravates me that they knew that I have appointments set up and it took forever for me to be able to get those! I don't know how they think that surprising me with something that I am adamantly opposed to will make me happy. I know I sound like an incredible biatch right now and I'm sorry but it's really stressing me out. They are more worried about planning this shower and I can't get anyone to help out with the actual wedding ('let us know when you need help!') is the line I keep getting but when I ask for it I can't get it. AAARGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
