SIL is having a "surprise" party for BIL's birthday. Awesome. But then she asked me to bring half the meal. Turns out a cousin is bringing the other half and a friend is supplying the cake. SIL is doing exactly nothing. I loathe these people.

It was a crappy weekend for me all round. I'm glad it is over now and hopefully this coming weekend will be better. It is DH birthday and I want it to be awesome.

Dh forgot Valentines day, my birthday, and mothers day. Our anniversary is coming up. Not holding my breath

My birthday was a week ago and I just now realized it. I guess no one else did either. For some reason, after realizing, I look back at my min wage job, my cheating dh, my mastectomy...and for the first time I am truly upset about them.

DH is always complaining about not being able to find a comfy pillow to support his knees/body for bed. We've tried king size firm, body pillows, big round bolster body pillows. For his birthday I am buying him a maternity body pillow. If that thing wont help, nothing will. And yes I plan to tease him about it! :-D

I just bought my bf the ipod touch 5th gen for his birthday! Can't wait to give it to him!

I was cashing DH's birthday check from him mom--he was too lazy to do it himself. The teller accidentally deposited it into my account instead of giving me cash. After a week of my DH demanding hourlong massages and making me deal with switching our insurance policy, I figure I am entitled to go ahead and keep his birthday money. And I'm going to tell him so, too.

FDH told me that I can't plan dates on weekends anymore because it cuts into time with his kids. I almost never do. Last time it was a month in advance and I got a sitter, but I would like to occasionally be able to go out on a weekend! I get that that's his only time with them but their mother picks them up on weekends for birthday parties and crap all the time and he never complains. I'm sick of the double standard. I love the kids and would never come between them and their father but really? No weekend dates ever again? And I'm supposed to say "I do" to this?

I cant stand my in laws!!!! DH's birthday is coming up and MIL has inform she's making dinner at her house. Told DH the kids and I will celebrate a day before with him and he can take the kids to his mom's place for the dinner. He wants me to come with him even though I told him I didn't want to go.

I have noticed a huge difference on how MIL treats my kids compared to the other grandkids. My kids kind of get the leftovers. MIL doesn't worry about school events or birthdays for my kids, but they are a big deal and party for the other grandkids. I can't help but think that is bc she is the only grandparent of my kids (both my parents passed away) whereas she has competition with the other grandparents with the other kids. If you knew MIL, you would know she is all about appearances and keeping up with the jonses and wanting to be the favorite...
