My Wedding Plans

I am so upset

Ao apparently my sister called my mom and told her that none of my dad's list got their invitations. I'm sure that's not WHY she called...but it came up. So my mom called me. I told her it was all taken care of. That I talked to my dad yesterday and it's cool I was going to call them next week (meaning april 17th or 18th) and she just kept on and kept on me..."you should call them tomorrow" ummm HELLO!!!! Tomorrow is Easter Sunday. It's a little rude to call people. So I'm crying and choking back tears and in the process my voice is raising and all of the sudden she's all "Everyone's put alot of $$ into your wedding! You better start showing us some respect. Your father and I deserve it" WTF?!? Where did that come from. So I say that I appreciate everything everyone has done for me and I prolly wouldn't be able to get married if it weren't for all the help I've gotten. (From my mom and dad...who this "EVERYONE" is i have no idea, but no one else has stepped up to help us. Not like I'm expecting it, but for goodness sake Kevin and I spent $300 on a DJ for Bob's wedding...he hasn't even offered to help with anything...and let's not even get started on Kevin's family....) And she proceeds to talk to me like I'm 12 saying "you better change the tone of your voice. I don't like your tone. You're being disrespectful" blah blah blah. So I say "I have to get off the phone. I can't talk to you anymore. I love you and I'll talk to you some other time. bye." and I hang up.

I"m so upset! I just wanted to break things. Instead I grabbed a sup of chai and started prepping the roses I just got today for the centerpieces. taking off the leaves and extraneous flowers and cutting them down to size. Fun stuff. It calmed me down enough to where I'm finally okay. I was so upset when I first got off the phone I was hypervetilating. I couldn't breathe.

I mean seriously. I understand that people are concerned and all about not receiving the invitations, and I'm going to call people starting monday...but I was going to call people starting Monday anyway. And seriously what do they expect me to do but that? I can't change the Post office. I can't understand how I can have mailed them off around March 15th and not ONE has gotten an invitation. My cousin Michael was in that catch, as was Kevin's cousin Mike, and we got their responses back a week later. And why is it my mom's issue anyway. I told her My dad and I sorted it all out. She shouldd have stopped there. Instead she continued until she had me so frustrated and upset I couldn't even breathe!

I know she's under stress right now with her elections, but you're talking to me about something i have no control over. Once those invitations left our hands all we could do apparently was pray to the gods and goddesses watching over us that they reached their destinations.

Does anyone know the god/dess of mail?

    I wouldnt worry too much about your mom. You said that you and your dad got it sorted out, I'd just leave it at that. Dont discuss it with your mom anymore. And as far as the "everyone has put a lot of money into this" my response would be "just because youve decided to be NICE and help out, doesnt give you a claim in how I'm running MY wedding"

    (((((((((hugs))))))))))

    Try not to get into it with your Mom. Like you said it has been sorted out and you will start dealing with it tomorrow (Sunday). Stress is a killer and sounds like it is running rampant in your family. Mom's can be such a pain sometimes. Just leave it at that and work on the next thing. Thankfully you didn't break anything and was able to calm down.

    *Hugs to you* and Shana gives you little puppy licks to make you feel better.
