Do not EVER volunteer to co-host a baby shower (or any event for that matter) again!
Specifics:
Co-host is in charge of invites. Only puts herself as the host when she sends invitations out.
Co-host wants to spend $2.49 per cookie for favors. That's over $50 for cookies alone! Ridiculous! (And that doesn't include the cost of the cellophane bags she wants to put them in!)
Why is it that people always ask the woman who has three kids and whose husband is deployed for things? Don't they realize that I have enough going on? Do they realize that I'm also too nice to say no? Do they know I'm fearful that if I say no to them, that they may not help me out sometime during the next year when I'm desperate for help?
And why is it always seem to be fellow military spouses (either prior or present) that ask me for these "favors" even though they still have BOTH parents at home? Do you think I really want 8 kids in my house when it's just me?
And while I'm ranting, why do people tell me they'll help me out and then never do? Don't tell me you'll cut my grass while I'm out of town for the weekend, only to come home and it not be cut.
Rant over.
OBSCENITY ALERT:
This Blog is my outlet. It's where I share my thoughts and feelings. It's a place where I can vent. Not everyone thinks alike. People don't always share the same religious or political views. Some people (like me!) occasionally think in more “colorful” terms than others. Sorry, but I'm a big girl and can use cuss words and talk about not-so-mainstream stuff if I want to. If you find that sort of language offensive / shocking / annoying, you may want to stop reading now. Life as a military wife ain't always pretty. It's my life, though, so don't say I didn't warn you.
