Ok so Zen for four days - FOUR DAYS boys and girls and while the it's still there -- there has been a ripple in the force - and in some ways it's caused by laughter.... or at least a chuckle - of sorts.
Now for a change this is not Bubba based - it is however in-law based. Now I am home from the nail salon, not nearly as busy as I thought it would be... but it's all good and I'm ready to face Monday - almost. I get home, the garage door is opened, only Violet is inside, the TV is paused, and finally I find bubba and Shelby outside playing ball - then I realized darling Bubba is on the phone -with his mama. Now as Granny has had a health scare recently I hang back and wait, call finished up, good news from the Granny front - then the fun begins...
Our niece with 3 - count them 3 children is getting married, and yes we knew this was coming as it was discussed when we were home in MAY (remember that it's important in a minute). There was talk of September, Bubba mentioned his already planned weekend and said paid for trip on 17 September. Guess what date the wedding is boys and girls? That's right! 17 September - AND -- AND -- his mother mentioned that Bubba would not be home that weekend he had a pre-planned and paid for trip that weekend... BFD. The wedding is 17 September.
Now Bubba said I don't have to go alone - but I think it simply adds fuel to the fire of "you all don't like Niece A" - again no - she's family you love family regardless - its her life decisions and choices we don't particularly care for... sorry 3 kids before the age of 25, no high school diploma, no job, 2 baby daddies one marriage already under her belt, and now we're doing this again? And you can't work around a date you knew about in MAY? Yeah Ok it's your wedding but again you KNEW about this date in freaking MAY??!??
So the question now stands - do I go - I probably will, as Nana had a GREAT idea and said to bring my sister along! Hopefully she has that day open - I called she's got her phone off - I will probably try and email her this week. If she can make it that will be easier - plus the blog material will be priceless after all the last one was red-neck fab I can't imagine what this one will be like - on his farm with tents. Kill me now. Better yet - bring - a - notebook. LOL
Now for me this is getting funnier by the minute - but in the back of my mind this is another dig on Bubba - and I am SURE his sister will have some not so nice comments to HER friends about her a-hole brother who won't cancel a pre-planned weekend (again already paid for!) to come to his niece's wedding. Considering last time she got married - we went, got the 3 year old all day - he rented a $200 tux - yes $200 for one tux for one day - his wife was dissed left right and center - and she was pumped FULL of fertility drugs at the time so not really thinking rationally. We also had to get a hotel room, pay to have the pups there, AND while every female in the bride's family got a lovely flower to wear - her Aunt didn't (aka me). The "reserved" table for the family didn't have a place to for Bubba and I to sit so we sat with other people, not the family and I was happy to get up and leave super early due to fertility treatments. Oh did I mention it lasted about year and change? So I guess the decision is made... I'm going, alone - my folks won't be around - some clown thing I'm sure and plus a built in excuse to cut out early - as I have to get home to the pups... and somehow I will still be the bad guy - I just don't know how yet.
Stay tuned for this mess... and the build up... Screw the diet coke I foresee wine (and whine) with dinner...
