I feel like a bad dog mom and friend
I caught up on sleep last night, and slept a solid 13 hours. Unfortunately, I slept through my 10:30 class.
I feel like such a bad dog mom! I just brought Daisy to the groomer to have her fur trimmed (gotta make sure she's comfy with the weather heating up), nails clipped, and teeth brushed. My poor little angel. I chose this place because of all the really good reviews, but when we walked in, my baby was terrified, and I was concerned. The building is pretty old, and didn't look very well kept. It looked like they hadn't cleaned in a long time. The staff were professional, but didn't seem like dog lovers. And it's to be expected, but we heard another dog crying, Daisy freaked out, and didn't want to leave my arms. She actually tried to fight me when I put her in the groomers hands. When I left, she was shaking, crying, and trying to run to me. I was so tempted to pick her up and say "We change our minds, we will not be having doggy spa day today". Now I'm hanging out at a coffee shop down the street, checking my phone every five minutes, waiting for them to call me. Is this how parents feel when they leave their kid at preschool for the first time? If so, I don't think I want kids anymore. The anxiety is too much. I think I'll take her to the dog park when she's done. She deserves to run around after such a traumatic experience.
My best friend is getting married in July. I'm happy that they're happy, but I still think they're completely stupid for getting married so young and soon. They've known each other since they were 5, but only dated a year before getting engaged. I can't wrap my mind around it. Why wouldn't you wait until you at least graduate to get married? Anyway, so a while ago when deciding on brides maids and maid of honor, I didn't want to do it. Her and I talked about it, and I honestly told her I'm not very interested in helping plan a wedding, or making a speech in front of 200+ people. I hate public speaking, and I didn't tell her this, but I don't support her marriage, and would be completely lying if I had to make a speech. She knows I think they're silly for rushing it, and think they should wait, but neither of us wanted to get into the details. So instead, our friend V is her maid of honor.
Side story, I also think V is an idiot. Her and her husband met in high school, and he was a year older. Her parents were understandably angry that she snuck out her window at night to go see him. I'm still really young, I get that it's exciting and romantic, and I've done the same thing. But I think it's completely ridiculous what they did. After he graduated, he joined the Navy. A year later, when V turned 18, he proposed. V's parents weren't supportive of it, and I agree with them. If I had children, no way in hell would I be okay with them getting married at 18. So she waited until they went to work, packed her stuff, and they got married at the courthouse. Since she didn't have her own wedding, she's been obsessively planning my best friends.
We're all supposed to go to Dallas on Saturday to go wedding dress shopping. Excluding myself and V, there will be four other bridesmaids. I really don't want to go for three reasons.
1. I don't get along with other girls well. I think it's because of my sense of humor.
2. I will be trapped with them from 6 am until god knows when we get back.
3. I will probably be hated by the other bridesmaids by the time we get back. If an outfit doesn't look good, I'll always tell my best friend what exactly is wrong. I'm not going to let her look less than perfect, especially on her wedding day. We're honest with each other, but from my experience, most girls get really offended and think you're a bitch when you say something doesn't look good.
But I will suck it up and go. If I don't, I'll be the only bridesmaid that didn't, and I live with the bride. She knows I don't have a legitimate excuse to skip out.
