Passive Aggressive Bull

It's no bull, I feel like a lamb going to slaughter.

Today is my sister inlaw's shower and my evil mother inlaw will be there. She has put me in an awkward position. The mother inlaw told her best friend that I'm a dead beat on this shower -- which I'm on the invitation as hosting and which I've had nothing to do with the planning on. Can you say awkward? Did I ask to be part of this? Was I included in any discussions or decisions? I'm fine with ponying up the cash, but the evil mother inlaw told me not to worry about it since Hubby isn't making much money and he went so many months without being paid by the family business.

"Don't worry about it, I've got you covered."

What kind of manipulative person tells you that and then COMPLAINS to others that she has to cover you? What the hell kind of passive aggressive crap is that? And now I must go and spend the day with people who think that I am a bum. She complained that she has to cover the deadbeat sister and I. I am not a deadbeat. She offered and I accepted. I accepted because my family has gone into big debt trying to keep a business going for her family. I am betrayed and annoyed. I want to kick my mother inlaw's ass. I will not. I will suck it up. I will not ruin my other (INNOCENT) sister inlaw's day.

My mother inlaw sucks. I hate wasting a Sunday on this.......

On a brighter note -- I LOVE student teaching! I love, love, love it! Yes, I'm mega tired, but I'm so happy to be in the classroom. I have an awesome mentor teacher who is allowing me a lot of freedom. Too bad I'm not confident enough to use it! Soon the training wheels will come off... I am more confident and humbled every day.
