i can still find a complaint

the wedding was yesterday. the weather was nice. Not as nice as Friday, but today it rained, so I am very thankful it didn’t rain. The wedding was outdoors.

there were some things that irritated me, but mostly everything was perfect. Simple. Everyone went with the flow. There was nothing that mattered so much that if it didn’t go according to plan anyone really cared. We were on time for pictures, and that was important to me. the photographer indulged me a took a few shots with our camera so I can get it in the paper right away, but I don’t like them. he is a friend of theirs and giving them the photos on a disk as a wedding present. I had someone do that for us too, but our guy was not as professional. This guy was good. I just don’t like the shots off our camera that I have to choose from for the paper and I need to choose right away and get it down there asap.

OK

Everything went perfect. It really did.

So I am going to complain.

I know, I know, but here is where I can vent.

I wrote a while back how my sil wanted to have the family reunion that afternoon. Well, she did. They didn’t call it that in my presence. She used the same caterer as dau did for the wedding. Something about that doesn’t set well with me, but oh well. We debated NOT going. But we did go. Family was over there and there was nothing else to do at that time.

Lo and behold, the bride and groom show up for a minute. They wanted us to follow them and get some things from their apt to take back with us. So I wanted to show my other sil and bil their apt, because it is so little and so cute. So we 3 head out the door, and we are called back. WHere are you going? Uncle and Aunt will be leaving soon so please stay. So we said ok. Dummy me. We never did get over there to get that stuff. Which ended up working out because I would not have had room to get other stuff in there that I needed to get in later. But that is not the point.

I didn’t do what I wanted to do because of the stupid reunion. And the uncle and aunt didn’t even talk to any 3 of us, and later they were like oh we didn’t even know you were here. Uh huh. Thanks.

So I was irritable then and upset becuase I realized that I needed to get more in my van than I thought I could. I left somem stuff in the motel room in fact bedcause I thought we wouldn’t have room. I told dau we wouldn’t have room (because I intended to leave for home after I took bil and sil to airport with their kids and their stuff which filled the van. I was happy to do it. I told dau I would get the stuff next week when we move son down to college. She said we don’t think you can get it all in, you need to make two trips. I said, i don’t have room. She kind of whined at me and repeated that I wouldn’t have enough room next week. Right or wrong, I felt it was unappreciative and said I had no choice. I didn’t think about driving back across town after I dropped ppl off at teh airport. SO I felt stupid for not thinking of that, but also it really irritated me that I was whined at about it. Here I am doing them a favor, but no it is not good enough, I have to do it this way and not what is convenient for me. They are not even going to be there all week anyway because they will be on their honeymoon.

I don’t know.

Everything did go perfect. I should be happy. But I manage to find something to complain about.

So I am a little irritated with dau right now. I didn’t appreciate that attitude and decided that is fine for now. I don’t need to talk to her for a while anyway. I love her dearly, but I don’t want to deal with it right now. Glad she will be gone on honeymoon. She is irritated with me too. She went and talked to her dad and of course they figured that yes I could come get taht stuff and planned it all out for me. Again. Thanks.

I am glad we did it, but it just irritates me. It started when we couldn’t leave the reunion planned on my daughter’s wedding day to go do something we wanted, which actually worked out for the best and I should be thankful, but I am irritated none the less. So then all sorts of things bother me. I was in tears when I left the “reunion” to go home. In tears. I had had it. Done. Let me outta here. Growl.

Now that I vented, thank you btw, I can maybe forget about it.

Going to go to bed. Didn’t sleep Friday night before the wedding. Just couldn’t. Slept OK last night, but drove ALL day today and got a very late start. Didn’t get home til almost midnight. So what do I do? Get online and vent. Oh well. I did start some laundry first.

Have a great week. I move my son to college next week, so I don’t know if I will get on and write or not. It will actually be more emotional to me than the wedding.

Bye for now.

faith hope and love, but the greatest of these is love.
