annoyed.*x2
So much to do, so little time… literally.
Today I am going to pack as much as I possibly can for our move. I feel like i’m going nuts.. I have to get our stuff ready to go to the wake/funeral, and PACK to move on SUNDAY, one week left.. crazy!
We have to bring the girls with us to everything it seems. There really is no one to watch them, and since i’m not working right now, i refuse to give money to a babysitter. If no one can help us out.. well.. they have to come with us. I might call my mom and see if she’ll com home early ( she’s in Pittsburgh) but i doubt that she will… and I’m not asking my pregnant sister to watch them for 2 days including overnight when she has two little ones of her own also.
Dave’s kinda freaking out about it. and I think his brother/sister have told him that it would be better if he didn’t have to bring them… REALLY???? no way! Duh! of course it would be easier without small children.. personally I don’t even want them at the wake.. not with an open casket, which I think it will be.. it’s just not the place for them.. which is why i’m trying to get ahold of my mom..
maybe i will call someone i have to pay.. i just don’t know what to do.. it irritated the hell out of me that his family would offer their suggestion if you will… it’s not our fault we have no one to take them.
it actually annoys me that his mother.. who took a day or two off of work last summer to come up and watch the girls (which I appreciated), cannot take the morning off tuesday.. or help on Monday night after she comes to the wake and take them home with her.. b/c she has to work.. i understand work.. i also understand sick/personal time.. it’s only one morning.. whatever..
ok i’m getting more annoyed writing this so i’m off to pack..
ok so it looks like i’m going to be taking them.. really, it’s ok. They have a children’s room at the funeral home and I believe I’ll just spend time in there with them..
As far as packing goes, i’m going insane.. i’m hot and tired and sick of living in a mess. I will be extremely happy when Sunday comes and we are out of here and into our new place organizing and setting things up. MUCH happier, although that is alot of work too..
whatever.. i’m off to pack.. again..
back again…
Dave’s friend is going to watch the girls during the evening session of the wake. (it’s tomorrow from 2-4 and 7-9) so that will be helpful. They are still going to have to come to the first session and the funeral.. it will have to be ok.
Anyway.. in better news.. I got my hair cut today.. LOVE IT! I look hot! or so i think..lol.. maybe i’ll post a pic later..
If his family suggested that it would be easier if you didn’t bring the girls (and I agree with you that an open-casket wake isn’t the place for little ones) and you have no one to watch them, maybe you can stay home with them? That way you wouldn’t have to go and if anyone says anything about you not being there Dave can tell them that you had no one to watch them and that a wake is no place forkids (both true!).

I love how people say things like that. You would think they never had children of their own.

My IL’s are like so insensitive about that and vooicing what they think. They have to learn about death sometime and if they have a children’s room hey that’s great. Glad someone can watch them some of the time.
