Okay, I really never gripe and complain and bit@@ about other issues than the ones I can control. Well, I am at a loss and it really threw me for a loop. Yesterday, hubby said that if we want the other half (his half) of the family at our children's b-day party then I have to call sis n law and see what's going on with June 6th. So it happens to be K's first birthday and our niece's last piano recital (at 17 yrs old) on the same day. Our party we are having will include celebrating M's 3rd birthday which is the 3rd of June. Anyways, I just was thrown for a loop because I was expected to change our day for their "side" of the family. I guess I feel immature and uncompromising at the time I heard that. Man, it's K's only 1st birthday that actually falls on a Saturday, and they never consider our plans before planning their birthdays. But, when I step back I have to admit I can change the day because I want the grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins at our kids' party. I can be flexible. I can compromise. But man it sucks when you think that it's a given that a party will be given on that particular day, yeah the b-day of that person, not a week later. So my mom, hubby agreed to do something special on their b-days the 3rd and 6th of June. Then have a bigger party on the 13th. I don't know if this happens to other people. Never really paid attn until now. It's not the inlaws fault there is a conflict. Anyways, I am rambling that's it. I had to work through this crap.
Weight note: sucks that I am not down more than I thought. I broke down and weighted cause it's been 3 wks. (168) I shouldn't have weighed after a dinner that consisted of margaritas and king crab legs (with salted butter). That was my mother's day dinner last night. Well, this morning I wanted to go to the spin class but was afraid it was cancelled cause of Mother's Day, I ran on the tread mill 3.5 miles in 45 minutes. I was glad I did that to break even with all the calories I consumed this weekend. Today I took my mom for a manicure and then we came back and went for a swim in our pool. It was so nice. We BBQd burgers for lunch. Now my almost 3 year old is sleeping with hubby on the couch. How did that happen? I should be sleeping????? Ha j/k.
another note to self: Throw the damn scale out the two-story window!
Happy Mother's Day to all the MOMs!!!!!!!!!!
Have a happy week:)))))) Really the scale sucks the happiness through the bottom of my feet everytime I step on it!!

I have in-laws like that... it is a tough call. Depends what kind of relationship you want with them, I guess! Good luck - and keep up the good work!!!
ReplyDeleteHELLO! Never weigh at night silly girl after a meal! All that food and liquids is just sitting in your belly! You should weigh in the morning tomorrow. I hate when that damn scale treats us wrong!
ReplyDeleteI hear you about moving the date! It's not a big deal but it is a big deal...do you feel better after you vented? You could always look at it like they probably couldnt have moved the recital, but you can always move a party. AND, if K is just going to be 1...she won't know its not actually on her bday!
Yes, it's tough to have to rely on other people when planning a date but I agree with Amy, Katie will have NO idea that it's not her actual day and now she gets more than one special day to celebrate this milestone. Mike has a 7 bros and sisters ALL with kids so I just pick my day and they deal with it. They can come if they're available and if not...see you next time. ;) Not to sound insensitive but seriously with 20+ neices and nephews there's never a *perfect* date. We will be celebrating Brooke's 6th b-day on 6/6 (actual day is 6/7). Happy early bday to Matt and Katie!
