The more I write these blogs, the more I feel like Danny Bonnaduce lol. It seems like every day I can't escape a little bit of drama in my life.
Tomorrow I'll be going to a wedding. My cousin is getting married. I find it odd they picked a Friday to get married on, but they're getting married in Chicago, so I'm guessing they're picking a date that they could fit in.
We've known about this wedding for two months, RSVP'ed a month ago, and have discussed it for weeks. I admit, mostly how we didn't want to go. I haven't seen my cousin in 10 years, they've never met my wife, and driving thru Chicago Rush hour traffic just to get there.
Last night, I reminded my wife that she needed to put in for her half day, she then informed me that she couldn't do that, she took a half day on Monday due to illness (translated:hangover). Then the fireworks started, which ended up with me going by myself with my kids and my mom, and her working and staying home.
This is the second time this week she's backed out of stuff like this. The other time, my childhood friend got married in Indiana, and they're having a reception in IL. Her aunt called us, after we commited to this, to tell us that she's getting her baby baptized that day. I told her that we couldn't go, and my wife insists that she has to. She was denied being the God parent, so I don't feel she has to. Her aunt does nothing but belittle us when we see her, treating us like hillbillys because we live in a rural area, and they live by Aurora.
So its been pretty edgy around the house lately, and I've decided to do what I usually do, and will work lots of hours and stay away. I know, its not the best solution, but this way we can pay off some things, and I can put some money away for "just in case"
Any suggestions are appreciated
