Argh!

I just got another baby shower invitation.  I wasn't expecting this one.  There is no way in h**l I'll be attending.  Ever since this girl got pregnant with her first, she has been totally intolerable.  She throws an attitude of superiority because she is a mom, and that clearly makes her better than anyone who is not.  She also things she knows everything about kids and pregnancy and no one else knows anything, even her husband.

And the biggest kicker-- she brags that she has only TTC two cycles and she's about to have her second child.  I can't even stand to be in the same room with her anymore and I haven't been since August, when I learned she was pregnant again.  Oh yeah, and I can't stand the girl who is throwing the shower-- she is a liar and a user. 

Sounds like a fun day, doesn't it?

What's funny is that there are not that many people who I don't like.  These two "best friends" top the list though.  I just want to scream.

    !!! We literally opened a bottle of Zin Alley like a month ago! That is one of my favorite Zins out there (and I love the owner... he is so nice and laid back!). Have you had their port? Mmmm. My other favs are Oppolo, Peachy Canyon and Turley (though I can't afford many of Turley's Zins... :). I could go on and on about Paso, we had such an amazing trip - we visited 25 wineries there and brought back a few cases of wine, and we often have wine shipped back to us because we love it so much!

    That's so cool - what are your other favs out there?

    I don't blame you for not going. Who has a baby shower for the second child anyway? And I completely agree that people who think non-mothers are not entitled to opinions are so obnoxious.

It's you!

"It's you!  I just know it!  You've lost some weight, it must be because of the morning sickness!" No, it's not me.  I'm not pregnant. "But is HAS to be you.  Who else could it be?  You just don't want to tell because it is too early" No, really.  It's not me.  I promise.  I haven't cheated on my husband.   "Well, who else could it be?" Um, one of the other 20 teachers of child bearing age at this school.  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I've guessed the other two pregnant teachers, before I even knew there were pregnant teachers at my school.  I have 'pregodar' (like gaydar, but for preggos) and really can sense the preggos around me.  I hadn't pegged a 3rd teacher, but I heard a rumor that there is a third when I started being hounded, and I think I have it figured out.  Its the one on her 3rd engagement and 3rd marriage in 5 years.  She's reaching the top of her realistic baby time, so it makes sense.

plugging along

There really isn't much to say at this point.  I'm plugging along, doing fine. Yesterday, I bowed out of a BBQ with B's family.  In May I mentioned BIL's ex and her "surprise" (planned) pregnancy.  One of the reasons for this BBQ was for BIL's birthday, and she decided to drive down to attend (she's still living 5-6 hours away).  She's like 26 weeks pregnant, and the thought of having to spend the day with her made me feel ill.  BIL isn't planning on living with her and the baby or marrying her, but will go visit often.  She is such an attention whore, I couldn't deal with her talking about the baby and flaunting the fact that she is still around because of it.  I've felt a little bit of a cold coming on, so I exaggerated it and stayed home.  I did end up throwing up my dinner, so I'm glad I didn't go. I felt a little guilty about skipping out on this, but I got over it quickly.  MIL was hoping that B and I would announce our

off with the crazies

Well, as expected, I had a pretty crappy Christmas.  Christmas eve was actually the best part.  We always celebrate on Christmas eve with my mom's side of the family.  That was actually fine.  Christmas day, not so much.  First, at my dad's side of the family lunch, I've never felt like such an outsider.  Christmas at the IL's started out fine.  BIL's dumb girlfriend decided to group each person's gifts in a pile, and we opened gifts one person at a time.  This took forever, and was kind of annoying.  For this group, we set up a gift exchange with B's brothers, so that we didn't have to buy for everyone.  I did the arranging for this, and think I did a good job.  I gave everyone opportunity to give input and include anyone else who was not included (didn't know if BIL's girlfriend was coming), compiled the responses, and sent out the information.  After all of that, B's brother went and got something for everyone, which really set me off.  Be
