I actually had a great weekend…minus the whole iPhone debacle Friday.
Saturday I got up early and let Sophie play outside….this sweet baby LOVES outside!!! Then I went shopping for my swap gifts and got them in the mail. Then I did a little more shopping and came home to finish my baby wreath for my sister and catch up on my dvr. So nothing really exciting, just a nice lazy Saturday.
Sunday I went “home” for my sisters baby shower. I say “home” because that’s where I’m from and where my family still lives but not where I live. Know what I mean?? Anyway, the shower was GORGEOUS and everyone LOVED my wreath!!!
I made it to match Miss Paycen’s room so when she comes home from the hospital it can be hung in her room too. The shower was held at my old church where I grew up going and it was all older ladies that I knew but haven’t seen in a long time so that was good!! They are soooo sweet!! Then there were some girls there my sisters age or a few years older that I knew. One of the comments I got from one of those girls was…
“It must be nice to be single and spend all day sitting around doing Pinterest projects.”
Really??!! Are you effing kidding me?? Then of course she gave the other girls there “the look”. You know the one. The one that says “I’m glad I’m married and am superior to you because you are almost 30 and still single. Poor you…”
This was the point at which I almost cut a bitch. I’m serious. Just because you’re married does NOT give you the right to act superior around me. It also does NOT give you the right to assume that all I do all day is sit around and look at Pinterest and craft and play with my 50 cats. I hate cats by the way…
I really wanted to tell her I work 60+ hours a week and don’t have time to really do anything I want to do. Except sleep. I love to sleep. And blog. And make wreaths. Which I think I did a damn good job on.
Before I go any further I know that not all married people are like that…none of my married friends are…but it really upsets me when they are. It’s not like I want to be almost 30 and single. Just saying…
I also got comments on my “outfit” apparently I was supposed to wear pastel and be all old lady like. I don’t think so. I am who I am people. Get over it. Maybe it’s just a small town thing??
The shower was great though…they got a lot of good stuff!!
I guess that’s all I have for now…hope everyone had a great weekend!!
I almost got those flats (from Target, right?)yesterday, but they didn’t have my size. I think that outfit is really cute!
Don’t let those girls get you down. I already have so many people doing that to me too. I can’t stand it when my friends that got married at 22 do it. They don’t realize that is not the norm anymore.
I’m glad you had a good weekend!
Yep…they are from Target. I would go up a size though. They fit funny.
I’m not down anymore…it’s kind of funny now that I think about it. But I do wonder if those girls really think I do nothing all day just because I’m not married. Hmmmm…
I’m glad you didn’t let those catty girls ruin the shower for you! That wreath is adorable, your outfit looks great, andddd I love that you threw in there you hate cats lol!
And I hope being married doesn’t really mean you can’t use Pinterest, if that’s the case I’m good with being single forever ;)
Thanks….and I really do hate cats! Ha! And I’m really ok with being single until I get around people like that. Toxic people drive me nuts!!
Wow what is wrong with people!? I got a comment from someone at a baby shower this weekend also. My friend is due a day before me and this lady asked why I didn’t look like her then?! My friend gained much more weight. It was rude and made me feel bad &awkward. So many adults never learned to watch what comes outta that mouth!
Love the cute pics!
People really have NO tact!! My sister and her husband have been trying for a couple years to have a baby and those same girls were all “It’s about time y’all had a baby”. My sister was almost in tears by the end if it all. I hate people like that….
I got married at 23 to my husband (whom I had dated for 4.5 years) and had babies first, so I was always the “different” one. While all my friends were doing these fun trips, etc., I was the girl who wasn’t much fun to talk to because a kid was crying in the background. (Not asking for sympathy here though!!) Also, before I was a SAHM, I used to think “those” moms had it so easy, too. Now that I am one, I realize it’s in fact tough, often lonely and offers its own set of challenges. My point is, regardless of being married, single, parents or not, we should never assume (as the girl at the shower so rudely did) what anyone really “does” all day!
Times really HAVE changed. Even statistics show that women are waiting longer and longer to get married and have children so they can have careers, travel and lead their own fulfilling lives. I would never ever say anything rude (like the pinterest comment) to ANYONE. I’m sorry that you were on the receiving end of ignorance. You are a hottie, so keep your head held high. You have a killer smile and wonderful fashion sense, too. I’m confident you are going to meet someone perfect for you.
Oh, and your wreath looked wonderful! (Sorry for the LONG comment!)
That’s ok…I LOVE long comments!!! Thanks for all the positive words and the wreath love!!!
ooooh girl I HATE that “look”. I think you are a wonderful person with interesting things to say. Your wreath is stellar, btw! Dont let the haters get you down!! xoxo – hope
Thanks!!! I hate “the look” it’s almost an I feel sorry for you look. BOO!! But you’re right, haters gonna hate….
I forgot to add my age too (30). {Hugs from OK}
Thanks again!!! I wish I was married because then maybe I would feel like I had life “figured out” but does that ever happen??
LOVE leopard flats! & you :) glad you had a good weekend!
The wreath you made was absolutely beautiful! I think you’re probably right about the small town thing…I’m from a small town as well and I get “the look” all the time, mostly because my husband and I got married in July, but I live in a different city 3 hours away during the week while I go to law school. Some people will look for any reason to criticize and judge.
