wedding hell

Wondering what in THE hell I did before I had the Pea. She is sick, has strep (UCK!!!) and because she can't go to school at all this week and I HAVE to work cuz I have a project, DH and I had to change up the schedule, and as a result I am home alone, on a Tuesday, and I have no idea what to do with myself. Usually I am running around like a headless chicken trying to get dinner done, get her bathed, cuddle, read books, etc. etc., and instead I got nothin'...not complainin' about a little me time, but the thought occurred "I used to work less, not have a kid, and not chat or blog...what in the hell was I doing with my time?" I remember a lot of lolling, and watching tv, but still...wow.

Anyway...don't have a lot going on right now, which while good for the state of mind, is not necessarily good for the blog...without chaos and drama I don't have much to write about. Do have two new boys in my life...adding to my circle...don't know yet if they will be the "cry on the shoulder of, talk me off a ledge" boys, or just hang and make fun of me boys, but they are both smart, funny, and wicked cool so I'm glad they let me drag them into my crazy world...welcome, Partyman and Grey.

So speakin' of my crazy world...knee deep in crazy wedding planning hell...Booya and Georgie are getting married in the fall, Smash and J are getting married this summer...both at the beach, and both are in the midst of trying to get the weddings planned. No matter how small or simple you think a wedding is going to be, at some point the details get out of control, and piss you off. Poor Smash just called me, in a panic:

me: "hiya!"

her: "Hey, can't talk long, J just ran in the store, my dress came...it is HORRIBLE."

me: "Shit, really?...what is wrong with it?"

her: "It is heinous, it isn't the right color and it doesn't look right, and I am freaking out, and I don't know what to do and shit, J just came back, hi honey."

J: (in the background) "Were you talkin' about my private parts again?"

me: (laughing my ass off) "OMG."

her: "Yes...I gotta go, we will talk more later."

me: "Ok, love you, bye."

Last night, Booya and Georgie were talking about trying to register, and you could see the shoulders tensing up just talking about it...ya know, for something that is supposed to be the "best day of your life" there is an awful lot of yuck. I have never met a couple that didn't have issues, problems, and fights while planning. Ooooh, that is what I could be doing tonight with my extra time...helping them plan...

ORRRR...I could park it on the couch with the remote...there really is no contest there...sorry guys, you're on your own.
