Friday night was spent at home, thank goodness. I was supposed to make chicken enchiladas and amaretto dip for SIL's lingerie shower, but the pesky migraine I'd had since Thursday morning had me in bed the moment I got home from work. Hubby was such a doll and made the enchiladas and dip for me. Gotta love him!
Saturday we had to pick up SIL's gift for the miscellaneous shower on Sunday and head to hometown. I had to run to the bridal shop in hometown to try on my bridesmaids' dress and pay the balance on it. Then it was off to my Mom's to drop off the Munchkins, then to drop hubby off to go hunting, and then off to set up for the lingerie shower.
The shower wasn't only a lingerie shower but it was also a "surprise" party and I don't mean that the party was a surprise either. If you aren't familiar, email me and I'll fill you in. Totally NOT my idea. I planned the lingerie shower part and two of the other bridesmaids planned the other part. It was interesting to say the least...and I think maybe I've been scarred for life!
Oh, on Thursday, MIL decided to dye her own hair. It came out orange. She went to get it fixed on Friday. It turned purple. They tried to fix it again on Saturday but with no result. This made her nearly an hour and 30 minutes late for the shower. SIL wanted to wait on her so the shower, which was supposed to start at 7, didn't start until around 8:30. It was after 11 before it was all said and done...and if you know me at all, you know I go to bed by 9:00pm every night. I am an old lady. I was so tired on Sunday!
Sunday was SIL's miscellaneous shower. It was nice to see members of hubby's extended family but the whole process was just exhausting. Seven showers is ridiculous. I mean really.
And all of this has just brought to light some things that aren't right at all. It would be difficult to explain in writing, although I'd love to share and get it off of my chest. Let's just say that in a family with three children, it's not right for two children (one more than the other) to be handed everything and anything they want, while the third is left out and has to fight for everything. I hope that when I have children, I remember this very situation and don't make the same mistake.

A "surprise" party? I don't know if I even want to ask. The only thing I can think of is maybe a male stripper?
I've been following someone's blog who has just got married. She had shower after shower. I didn't understand why she needed so many. But then I've never gotten married so what do I know?
I get what you mean about one always being left out. I kind of felt that way a little bit growing up. I think in my situation though, it was because I was the youngest and only girl. But now both of my brothers are gone and don't really keep in touch much so I get more now.
I think I have an idea of what the surprise is, and I'm not thinking strippers ;)
Weekends are exhausting for me too and I'm constantly draggin my butt to work on Monday mornings!
