Toughest weekend of the year
Praying to survive this weekend. Will be so glad when it is over. Birthday and Mother's Day rolled into one. So far found out one of my good friends did a girls day out, that I had suggested, on Thursday and didn't invite me. My other friend who I was supposed to do a movie with this week bailed and our every Friday walk, well she didn't even suggest it. Guess she was too busy
Asked the hb if he made sure the youngest remembered my birthday. He said oh he was sure he had. Told him he'd better make sure. Well he asked last night and of course I know my children and he hadn't. So had to take him shopping myself today to buy something and bribe him with lunch to go out of the house to do it.\
Then get the email from hb how about we do dinner tonight instead of lunch tomorrow as my one daughter in law can't make tomorrow. Gee I suggested that two weeks ago when found out she couldn't make it and got shot down. Now he suggests it when I already ate out with youngest and not hungry. So still going out tomorrow without one and have to rush it as other daughter in law has to be to work at 2pm
And of course there was this plan that me and the two girls would go do something girlie for my birthday as first time in my life I have had daughters. Well obviously no one gave that a second thought just a passing idea.
Asked hb not to wrap presents too. Don't like unwrapping so of course he told me he wanted them wrapped and did it anyway. Know we will fight about that one as I took one away and rewrapped two into the same box so there are less to unwrap.
I just hate this weekend every year. I want my family to do something special for me and they never have time and always whine about getting together. Oh when I complained to the m idle about hb not taking youngest shopping I got told I was expecting too much and hb was trying and I should try to appreciate it. So add getting chewed out by my child for being a horrible human being to the first day of my nightmare weekend.
Wonder how many times I get to hide in the bathroom and cry or if I will just lose it in front of everyone this time.

Everyone came in and oldest son logged into his video game on his computer, youngest and girlfriend didn\'t even say hello and started playing Mortal Combat. Hmmm family game night????
Middle son and wife bless them both shoved me out of the kitchen and made dinner. Played games after supper which was mostly fun, one daughter in law grumpy at people a few times and then she quit playing and went off to play on her computer again. Had to open presents last night which I hate cause daughter in law not going to be here at all today. Was supposed to be here for a bit. Oh well.
hb decided to sleep on couch cause of his horrible cough so got some sleep last night which was nice. Raining again this morning though so no mini golf as planned Too wet outside to go. No idea what we will do all day.
Two more days to go.
I hope your family will be kinder and show more caring towards you this weekend.i have troubles on these 2 days too.Hoping i can keep it together tomorrow.I already know the 2 youngest have no money and didnt get me anything .I still need to get something for my daughter and i have this sad feeling that no matter what I do,she will not like it.I think thats just a reflection of where we are at these days.I totally hope you have some happy and feel cared about moments.hugs xxxxxx
