In my twenty five years of life I don’t think that I have ever had to stress as much as I have the last 7 years. When you’re a child your parents are there for you giving you what you need through life and trying to raise you right. I was never in trouble as a kid and most of the time I was always on my toes with my chores and other things. I did find out soon enough after I met my husband that he was the man I wanted to spend my life with. I was young but not stupid. My life had lead in a direction that required me to skip my child hood and take on adult responsibilities. I don’t regret that my mom needed me after my dad died. My husband soon proposed and we were married, it was at that point that I realized I had grown up and my own adult responsibilities had started. Through the years I have been through marital issues with my husband ranging from not talking to getting a divorce and it is all over money. When you grow up the more responsibilities you take on the more money it requires. Four years after our marriage my daughter was conceived and my mind was spinning not only was I trying to feed and clothe myself and husband but now I had a beautiful baby on the way that needed just as much if not more and I was scared out of my mind. In the end however I had a great job and was able to take care of everything we needed. Things have been great since then.

Sometimes things happen for a reason but why is it that the reason has to be so hurtful? I started watching a new show called the Good Wife. Very interesting considering our politics is actually that way during this time period. I really do not think I heard anything about political cheating until President Clinton’s infidelities were publicized. Why is it that the wife decided to stay with the husband after allegations and proven infidelity happened? Why can’t every wife be like the good wife and leave? Just slap the crap out of them and get on with their life? I know people say this is easier said than done and that a wife should stand by their man but at what price, should their life be turned upside down because their husband has done something very tragic to them? If I was in their shoes I would have to stop myself from wondering how to take my husband off this planet without getting caught. I have always wondered what fuels a man to leave a good woman. Why not just get a divorce? Why cheat? I would much rather divorce my husband because he cannot be honestly faithful than to be embarrassed by the infidelity that comes with a lying husband. In the end it isn’t a place that I would want to be, and unlike the political wives I do not want my family issues continuously aired out across America.

    My sister and her husband are already having marital issues after getting married this weekend. Unfortunately the lover’s quarrel has already started. The very first fight is over her being gone longer than he thought she should be. I remember those days however I don’t remember my husband getting that way until a month or so after we had been married and he was never that way when it comes to my family. That is exactly what she was doing visiting us and picking up my niece. Really how long do you expect someone to be gone when you live in Snyder and your family lives in Lubbock? He called over five times in the thirty minutes that she was here and wanted to know why she wasn’t on the road yet. It was at the moment he told her he was going over to a friends to drink that I realized maybe this wasn’t so great after all. I am really hoping that things work out but with a rocky start like that it isn’t sounding to great. I don’t remember my husband being a jerk like that but I do remember him being jealous. Its strange how when you are married young you are both so insecure that things seem like large problems. After they have been together for eight years then maybe they will be like me and my husband when neither of us cares what the other is doing because there is trust between us.

Another day another marriage woe. I really don’t understand how having dinner and laundry done by the time the husband gets home tells them we have been busy all day.  So as you can tell I didn’t have dinner done tonight and I didn’t have laundry done. My husband was more upset over dinner than anything else. He just looked at me like I hadn’t done anything all day but let me tell you the two year old that continuously runs around my legs keeps me more busy than any job that you could ever imagine. So he acts as though I have done nothing all day. I can’t handle the huffing and puffing so I send him to the store for diapers. During the mean time I start dinner, and to his surprise we are having breakfast for dinner. Ham and eggs it is. When he gets back from getting the diapers I have dinner started. Why is it that when you finally decide to do something then they look at you and say you didn’t have to do that. Really? I thought that is what you wanted was to do is cook dinner. I swear I’m so tired of husbands I could literally make mine sleep on the couch tonight. I hope that he soon learns that being a tay at home mom and wife isnt as fun and easy as he thinks. It wasnt because I wanted to stay home he thought it would be good while I was pregnant. Geeze men.

I walked outside intending to sit in front row because I am a sibling of the bride. Apparently people do not understand that concept and someone had to move this rude and obnoxious lady out of my mother’s seat. Seriously that is the mother of the bride’s seat and you want to sit there? Sometimes I wonder were someone gets their manners. I was upset not to sit in front row at my sister’s wedding although I wasn’t in the wedding I thought it was right to sit in front row. So I looked for something on the second row that would accommodate me, my husband, and daughter. NOTHING on the second row.  My cousin and his friends sat there. Ok so now I’m getting just a little peeved at the situation, and I do not want to make a scene. Not that a scene would matter because everyone was drunk.  Finally I find a seat in the last row where I cannot 

see my sister get married and cannot hear anything that they are saying to each other. I felt like I had been shoved back and no one even noticed. I seriously began to wonder if I can’t hear or see the wedding then what the point of actually being there was.  My husband of course had several things to say about the situation and all I could say was it will be over soon and we can leave. Since I couldn’t hear the wedding the only way I could tell the wedding was over was when my sister walked past me hand in hand with her new groom. I looked at my husband appalled that I had missed the whole thing. No sooner than they got down the aisle the drinking was even worse. I couldn’t believe that the wedding was turning out this way.  Needless to say I traveled the whole way to sit for twenty minutes and watch a wedding that I couldn’t enjoy and had to yank my child and niece up before everyone became belligerent. It’s a really good thing she only gets married once because I couldn’t handle another one like this.

So Saturday night I went to a beer fest wedding and had the unhappiest time of my life. I love my sister to death but honestly I didn’t feel as though she received the fairy tale wedding she had dreamed of as a kid. No one ever receives that fairytale wedding like they dream of but seriously a beer party for a wedding? So I pull up to a place in the absolute middle of nowhere at an actually really pretty ranch and I look around and find everyone including the groom outside enjoying a beer. I’m thinking ok no problem this is a western wedding and the guys are going to drink no problem. I get closer and am listening to what they say and they are all pretty well toasted and have been since the night before. Thankfully I kept my sister’s daughter the night before and she didn’t have to be passed around through everyone all the time because I was afraid of her being dropped. In the midst of all of the chaos I’m trying to keep up with my own daughter and she wants to run around with everyone else. As I’m rounding up kids I notice that the brides wedding party is standing on the porch and everyone is so hysterical it’s hard to figure out what in the world is going on and at that point I notice that the brides maids are staggering around. I am appalled and began to make my way up the porch.I thought that I would be nice and take my niece up to see her mom and by the time I get to the top of the stairs the wedding party is scattering back inside to finish getting ready. My mom is on her way into the room with my sister of course who is the bride, to give her the present of her life. Well my niece isn’t saying hello to mommy any time soon. So we walk in for a heartfelt family moment and there are more people in this room than I could imagine. What in hell is wrong with everyone I keep thinking to myself? Then I remember oh yeah everyone is drunk. My mom hands my sister her gift that is intended to be just a family thing at that moment, in a crowd of people and when my sister opens it she starts to cry uncontrollably. Amongst the gift wrap is the only picture that was taken of my dad holding my sister before he died. It was the most heartfelt moment at the whole thing. I don’t know whether she was overly drunk or just that happy. After all of that ended it was time to re-powder the brides face and finish getting ready to walk down the aisle. At last my niece finally gets to see her mom for about two minutes before someone starts screaming for her again. At this point I’m getting ready to take my place outside.

For her wedding, my sister had a Destination Wedding in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. So, to sum that up quick for ya, it was awesome. I was only 19 years old, but the legal drinking age there was 18. So… it was out of hand for me at times, because I had never been able to just walk up to a bar and order what ever I wanted to drink. That one week, it was necessary to start every morning off with a bloody mary. Not only that part of the trip needs to be praised though. The beach was beautiful, the resort we stayed at was awesome, and, of course, the wedding was great. Everything was easy to plan, unlike most weddings. She had her closest friends and family there, just as she wanted, and then just had a stress free week of fun and swimming and hanging out. After everyone left, my sister and her new husband stayed there in Mexico for awhile to celebrate their honey moon. Everything we so smoothly, it makes it hard for me to not just go the same route when my time comes for that. A few people in my family have considered doing it too, because everything was so easy and it was more like a vacation for everyone than a stressful situation like most weddings can be. Right now that’s not anywhere near my planner, but it is nice to sit here and think about how much fun that trip was for everyone, and how perfect it went for them on their wedding day/week.
