We went to my cousin's wedding over the weekend. The drive was about 6-7 hours and I'm quite tired. I am mostly tired because when we got home last night I had to do my final paper for my class and I was up til almost 2am. Why must I have pressure to get these things done? I was so burned out from my last class I just didn't feel like handling this paper until the last minute.

Now I'm tired AND freezing at work.

I'm also aggravated with my in-laws. They watched my kids and I'm grateful, but.... Why would they let them stay up until 1am? What the hell? They are only 9 and 10. Can you imagine what it was like getting them up for school today? Apparently they stayed up late Friday night as well and were dragging at the Saturday soccer games. Now I have to be a sleep Nazi tonight since they both have games on Tuesday. I'm so aggravated. They ask for instructions and then don't read them. I knew I'd be disappointed in them, and I was right. I appreciate them watching my kids and keeping them safe, but they played video games nonstop, watched endless TV, at mega amounts of junk, and got no rest. A little of any of this is fine, but imagine the brats that were returned to me. They were hopped up on sugar and were exhausted at the same time.

My evil sister backed out of going to the wedding saying she didn't having the money and needed to be there for her friend. She could have called, but didn't so I had to give her excuses. She just sucks and I basically told her so. Since she was not attending I asked her to let my dog out -- she tried to play it like her letting my dog out made up for me having to explain her absence when she didn't have the common consideration to call. Sorry no. That's what I told her. She put me in a really uncomfortable position.

If she had just RSVP'd with a NO it would be no biggie. Instead, the bride and groom (who are poor and funded this wedding without parental financial support) paid for her dinner and her husbands. My evil sister sucks. What she would have scolded others for in the past she now perpetrates. For such a judgmental person she sure excuses herself from things. As the most recent bride she should have leapt tall buildings to be at this family wedding. My Dad was pretty aggravated with her and I'm a mean person because I enjoyed that. Why do I feel I must compete with her for his affection? Oh yeah, that would be because she makes everything a competition. Oh well. I'm happy he is happy with me :-)

My daughter's soccer coach is quitting for the fall since his daughter doesn't want to play. This is a huge loss since my daughter's team has been together for 5 years. I love this team because the girls have heart and the coach is a sweetie. I will miss the sense of family on the sidelines. The families have all gotten along well and been close. I will miss them as much as anything. We are now faced with hard decisions on what to do for her for soccer in the fall. Ugh.

We now have to decide on the try outs for select, Catholic Youth, stay in recreation, or whatever! She likes to play and we want her to continue, but this coach has been the best and we will miss him. My son wants to try out for select teams just for the experience. We shall see!

Looks like it is going to be a very busy week...
