So, where do I begin. After a day like today I wish I could be Bill Murray in Groundhog Day and just start all over again. I hope today is not a sign for how this week will go.
For starters, my mother in law is not talking to me or my husband. (Long story, way too long to go into here right now...maybe another time) So, I get over that yesterday only to walk into work today and find a PILE of work that was left for me. I work with a guy who is off this week and Friday he asked me if I would help him out with the work he has now. I think his exact words were something like, "it'll be easy, i will have most of it done by Saturday and all you have to do is get my checks for me and put them together." So, I think no prob. WRONG!!! I got the work this morning and it is 18 folders (yes EIGHTEEN!!!) of work. One of the sets of folders has to be wired to the tax company at that. I have no clue how to do that. So, now i have all of these Maryland taxes to pay plus my New Jersey ones. Then, I find out that instead of being off on Friday, since I am helping him today, I may have to come in a little while on Friday and do his Maryland for him then too.
Okay so I get home and I have made it through the day no other worries. Oh wait, forgot that hubby calls me at work and he has a flat tire. UGH!! Gets it fixed and $21 later has a spare on his truck (they couldn't patch his).
So, I go take a hot bath trying to relax. I put child to bed, and fall asleep doing that. Hubby wakes me up, and I come in here to do a little internet searching. Get a phone call from my father in law. He lets me know that my hubby's grandma is doing Thanksgiving dinner this year at Noon. WHAT!!! Kyle's mom does her's at 11 (which we are not going this year if she doesn't return Kyle's phone call by Thursday--not my idea it was his)(like I said a long story with that one :) ), then we usually go to my mom's at 12:30 and then his grandma's at 6. but this year she decided to change at the last minute. I had to tell my dad in law that we had prior plans, like from a month ago, to go to my mom's at 12:30. His grandma is always doing something like this. Needless to say, I could hear the disappointment in his voice.
So, yes instead of my husband feeling bad for not going, I will end up being the one to feel guilty. My mom says I try to please everyone and you just can't do that all the time. I know that and I tell myself that, but my heart tells me I should feel bad for letting people down. I am hoping that tomorrow is alot better than today.
Oh on a brighter note I did get a rebate check from Verizon tonight in the mail :) Yeah, Christmas money (considering I have bought two gifts so far and they are for the same person...lol)

Hang in there. When it rains, it pours... but eventually, the sun shines again :-)
Gobble gobble!
Hang in there sweetie....it's the holidays and times usually get tough around this time of year! We're here for ya toots.
thanks you guys!! that means more that i could ever tell you! :)
and yes mike--gobble gobble on some deep fried turkey..yum yum. can't wait!!! :)
I could tell you some stories about holidays and how I used to not get along with my MIL either..maybe I'll blog about it on my blog (LOL) instead!!! You get thru these times, believe me, even though you think you never will.
As for co-workers, never trust them when they say everything will be "self-explanatory" or just needs abit of "tweaking"....I know from my own experiences you end up doing all their work and they get all the credit! Don't worry - hard work and perseverence DOES pay off eventually!
thanks for the encouragement Carol! I needed this more than you know guys!!!
My MIL is a monster!!!! She rearranges my kitchen cabinets, refolds my towels in my linen closet, etc etc etc. She will be at my house tonight and won't leave until Sunday. Pray for me! HAHA
oh you poor dear!!! i will definitely pray for you to be able to hang in there. hey at least yours comes around though (which i know you enjoy..lol) mine bitches about us not calling and then when we do she doesn't return the call. :( anyway, you hang in there too. MIL's can SUCK!!!
I share the MIL drama, mine opens my mails, tells me what i do right and wrong with my kids/house ect...it gets better, eventually your husband will come on board and realize she is an idiot, then you can vent to him...haha
oh i can't wait for that day :)
