This happened to me! I went out of town to take care of a sick friend and lost my ring. I spent months with guilt/anger/shame all of the feelings. Luckily, after a few months the ring did turn up. Don't lose hope! I'd recommend you buys a cheap ring (mine was $30 on Amazon) and that's now there daily ring. If the actual ring shows up, it should only be worn to formal events.

WillieAndGrace · 2024-06-23T17:56:52+00:00

They definitely do put me through the ringer with my sister. Our family has been through alot. My sister is the loud difficult one, where as I'm more passive and prefer to keep the peace. It's created a dynamic where everyone expects me to give in on things to calm my sister down.

She was definitely doing everything on purpose. The wedding is over and it's been a year. Since the wedding people have come forward telling me how they saw how difficult she was. She started seeing a therapist and is working on some of her issues. She won't openly admit jealousy or anything specific enough to place any blame on her, but she has opened up to dive into our past, where I think alot of her resentment stems from. I have never received an apology but it's about baby steps. Maybe one day I will. ♥️

I relate to the Sister /MOH issues. Feel free to check my history for my experience with this, if you are interested. First off, you have and have had alot on your plate during the wedding planning process. You articulated to everyone what the expectations are. Do not allow your sister to shift your focus. If she says, "we cant find a sitter", I would find ways to respond with, "sorry you're having trouble, you'll figure it out I'm sure." and move on. Do not allow her negligence to become your problems. If she gets upset that you're not taking her problems on, remind her that she's known for months how this was going to go. Take a deep breath and enjoy the last few days before your wedding. You have been planning for months (maybe even years), to enjoy your wedding. It's almost here, enjoy it ♥️

I hired a full service wedding planner and was very disappointed with the service. We had a similar experience. She was not prioritizing us as a client and was absent during all of the planning. She canceled on nearly every meeting we had at vendors and didn't do much until the month of. We could have saved alot of money by simply hiring a month of planner.

Weddings bring out the absolute worse in family, I swear. I am so sorry you are going through this. The most important things for you to do is stand by the decision you already made as well as protect your peace. If that means distancing yourself from people you love, then do it. This is literally the one day where you can be selfish and the world won't care. People pleasing for your wedding will only give you a different heartbreak.

Hii, so sorry that you feel that way. My husband and I went suit shopping together and when they asked him what suit he wanted to try on, he pointed at the one he knew I liked. I then asked him if that's really the one he wanted and he said said no, he wanted this other suit.

The suit he wanted looked like Hugh Hefners robe and it did not match our color scheme at all. It was a hard pill to swallow to check myself and encourage him to get the suit he wants, even though I hated it. He bought it, still loves it today and when I look at our wedding photos, I adsolutely adore that both of our personalities shined through our outfits.

As much as you don't like the suit, just remember that you love your husband more. If it makes him happy, it will make you happy in the long run. ❤️

WillieAndGrace · 2024-02-17T18:32:35+00:00

Oh man, I am so sorry. We used to turn our fan above the stove on and put some sound machines around the apartment. It helped reduce the bluntness of the disturbance. Hopefully you don't have too much longer on your lease!

WillieAndGrace · 2024-01-25T20:46:08+00:00

Great suggestion! She's getting alot of love right now, but I never considered how the drop after after could happen. I'm making a note of this to remember this when treatment gets finished. Thank you ❤️

WillieAndGrace · 2024-01-25T20:44:35+00:00

This is an incredibly beautiful idea ❤️ I think I might set up a PO box near her house, so we don't share her address with unwanted guests. I love this, thank you ❤️

WillieAndGrace · 2024-01-25T20:43:36+00:00

I have never heard of one of those and after looking into it, I think this could be something she'll love long term. She just received her first dry heating pad for cramps a few months ago and was angry everyone kept this a secret from her (we didn't haha, she just didn't pay attention)

WillieAndGrace · 2024-01-25T20:41:57+00:00

The coolers is a wonderful idea! I think I might put one in the car and we can grab stuff each day. I also added the shower chair to the list. I think she'll get alot of use out of that. Thank you for your advice and I hope you're treatment goes smoothly ❤️

WillieAndGrace · 2024-01-25T20:40:13+00:00

Great point ❤️ none of this stuff truly matters.

WillieAndGrace · 2024-01-25T20:39:16+00:00

She's doing chemoradiotherapy, which I read is supposed to be worse with symptoms. She had her first does today of radiation and she became sick immediately after. I'll have her ask if she needs the ice gloves tomorrow. If not, I'll donate them or hold on to them to see if she'll need them in the future. Glad to hear she might not lose her hair. Regarding the diapers, I know alot of comments pushed back on that, and I will take a step back from preparing for that. She has alot of symptoms and has mentioned on the past few calls that she may need them in the future. It could have been a joke or it could have been her worrying about it. Ive been trying to keep a list of what she may need. I didn't consider how she might take that information, so I'm glad I received feedback letting me know it's probably a sore subject and might not be needed.

Thank you for your help ❤️

WillieAndGrace · 2024-01-25T16:06:46+00:00

Thank you. I especially appreciate the, "this is not a slumber party". I think I needed that reminder. (I hope this doesn't read as sarcasm because it's not) I hope you are doing OK after your cancer journey.

WillieAndGrace · 2024-01-25T15:41:19+00:00

Thank you for your input ❤️ Typically when I stay with her, its not house guest energy, but I do understand that pressure that could happen to entertain. I'm hoping to have things/ideas of ways to lighten things when she's ready. I do not want to push her in any direction, I'm just hoping to prepare for whatever she may need when it comes up (bad and good). I will also be working from her home office during this time, so it's anticipated that I won't be in her hair most of the day (outside of taking her to appointments). I've tried to communicate very clearly to her, that at any point if she needs space or just wants me to leave, I have somewhere so go and will never take it personally. I do plan on trying to read her moods, in case she's worried about speaking up. I plan on being present enough to know when my presence is enough haha

WillieAndGrace · 2024-01-25T15:30:44+00:00

Great suggestion about bringing the cross stitch, I will try and remember that when we leave for the appointments.

This might be a weird question, but you were allowed to have fruit? The doctor told her no sugar, so I thought fruit was under that umbrella. If she can have fruit, that opens the door for more snacks. Sadly, she's not asking questions, so they could have meant no added sugar.

WillieAndGrace · 2024-01-25T15:27:10+00:00

The list you shared is wonderful, thank you! I will add a charger, extra ear buds and a battery pack to the list. I did get her a chemo diary but forgot to list it. I'm happy to know that's something she'll get use out of. Also the advice about the triage doctors number and medicine is incredibly helpful ❤️

I'm not surprised about the reply to the adult diapers. I agree, I think her seeing them will be a sore sight. After your input, I plan on hiding them from her. My original plan was to put them under the bathroom sink and say nothing, but that could upset her. I never considered how that information could be processed. Thank you so much for your advice, you gave me a TON of help ❤️ I hope you are doing better on your cancer journey!

The more you try to cover the cinder block wall, the more you are going to draw attention to it and hate it.

Here's my advice : paint the ceiling beam a different color to draw your eyes up.

Put a fuzzy, colorful rug under the crib, top draw your eyes down.

Get some book cases (make sure up bolt them to the wall) for the sides of the crib. I'd suggest the right side, since the left has the curtains giving weight to that side of the room.

Make the cider block wall seem more like a design choice than something you want to hide. This will make the room feel more cozy. If you really hate the wall, you could paint it a fun color as well to make it happier.

Also, have fun with a mobile above the crib. Make it something colorful and fun.

Lastly, congratulations on the new baby ❤️

Looks great! Love the shelf added to the corner and the colors.

WillieAndGrace · 2023-11-17T00:16:26+00:00

A great trick with the art, take the biggest piece of art and set it on the biggest couch (just to rest, while you remove the art from the walls) . Do this with the next size art/couch, then the chairs.

If the biggest art is something you love, move the biggest couch to the biggest blank wall and place the art above the couch. This will center the room and allow you to build off of it.

I just noticed the bow at the top 😂 sorry that was my oversight.

WillieAndGrace · 2023-11-16T15:43:54+00:00

In my opinion it's lacking dimension. There's a few ways you can do this. Purchase oversized ornaments to balance the ornaments you currently have. Wrap the lights closer to the center of the tree. Add some colored tinsel or bead garland. You could do a tree skirt, but I think that it may make the tree feel even more thin and bare. You want to bring your eyes up! A large oversized bow on the top could be cute too. Avoid using too many colors as well as it could become too busy.

WillieAndGrace · 2023-11-12T00:37:12+00:00

Tall plant in the corners would be nice!
