MY mother is driving me insane. His mother is mostly staying out of my way - mostly. Of course, when she does call or come over... well, she's very excited and I just can't tell a 74 year old woman to calm down. I will live and call it a testament to my goodwill and patience. The other mother-types are... trying to be helpful. I listen so I can glean any good ideas and smile and say thank you for the rest. *sighs*
You poor woman, you catered your own wedding? Dear Lord! I was just hoping for nibbles and finger food but *wince* apparently my mother would like something different. This is fine because SHE is hiring them, SHE is handling them and SHE is paying for them. I am just checking it off my list of to-do's. So be it and if it's sauerkraut and sausage or cabbage and potatoes... well... okay.
I think it highly unlikely that my cousins will bring anything. This is one where I am just bending to the will of my mother. I don’t need to talk to them or take photos with them or any such thing. They will all clique together (four cousin girls, two husbands) and not bother anyone else – so be it. I am going to let my mother smirk and her cousin an say something like, “I know the girl didn’t invite Christy but our side of the family thinks family is sooooo important at life changing events….”
The mugs are a great thought, I probably wouldn’t have thought of them – thanks!
