You are hereby cordially invited to:

A Surprise Pity Party for Unknown Mami!

When:

Right about now.

Where:

Right here.

Dress (or don’t):

Come as you are.

RSVP:

Don’t bother, you are already here.

Surprise!!! Yup, the surprise is on you. Here you thought you were coming to read just another ordinary post and instead you get to join me in an impromptu pity party that I am throwing for myself. Aren’t you the lucky one?

What’s the special occasion? Please, like I need one. Fine, I’ll give you a few: I’m hormonal, it’s raining, I’m broke, I feel under-appreciated, I’m broke,  I want to spend the whole day in bed, no one wants to cater to my every need.

Now that you are here, let’s get on with it. I have prepared just one game (give me a break it is an impromptu pity party; it’s not like I was planning on feeling sorry for myself).

Step right up, step right up!!! Grab a spray bottle and prepare to play: Spray the tear drops on Unknown Mami:

Don’t be shy! Look, I even wore my party sombrero. The bad news is that there are no winners in this game, the good news is that there are no losers.  If you feel like having a good cry yourself, just spray the water on your own face and it will camouflage your tears.

I guess I should try to make some party conversation. Hmmm, let’s see… I’ve been enjoying watching the Giants and Phillies play against each other. I can’t watch the games without thinking of Matty. Matty is a Phillies fan. I was so hoping the Giants would win last night so that I could brag that they are going to the world series, but nope the Phillies won. Giants are still leading, but now they don’t get to play at home. Makes it a little more stressful exciting, I guess.

Saw this during a break in baseball and thought it was brilliant. I don’t even watch Glee and I still think it’s comedy gold.

Oh, you guys, this pity party is exhausting. I’m outta here. Thanks for coming!

    hey, mami, everybody needs to wallow in it at some point. it’s the only way to finally get how good life really is. not 2 hours ago, i was so stressed that the center of my back felt as if a bony knuckle was stuck in it and deep! but, you know what? my husband looked at me and said, “why didn’t you let me drive?” and then i punched him in the arm and felt so much better! ok, not really, i mean i didn’t punch him, but i bet you’re laughing now! loved the video and remember, sometimes ya jes gotta go through it to get through it. xoxoxoxoxo ;~D

    Pity to your hearts content dear. We all need it now and then. I am an expert at getting engrossed in a good book and then I don’t care about anything. I get almost all my books for free (Kindle/Amazon) so I don’t even have the guilt of spending money I don’t have.

    It does my heart good to know that people think of me when they see baseball. And don’t for one second know that I’m well aware that I’m never going to hear the end of it if the Phils lose. My in-box will be flooded. Last night I almost had heart failure.

    How’s this for compensation. If the Phillies come back and make the world series, I’ll send you a pick-me-up to help ease your pain.

    That was the swellest pity party I’ve ever been to. Can I take a piece of cake home with me to cry over? Seriously though, I hope you are feeling better. You made me smile, ’cause there are days I feel like this too – you are just a much better sport about the pity party than I am. – G

    I am a Giants fan too. Have been since the 60’s (yes, I’m that old). Just left a comment for Matty. Not a neener one, that would be obnoxious. More a ain’t it grand kinda thing….great series regardless of outcome. I sure want the Giants in the Championship though.

    As for your game….I won’t play.

    Even a pity party with you is sorta fun and you look so great in the sombrero you should feel at least a little better. Being hormonal makes all the rest seem even worse. I hope you are back to feeling your awesomeness soon.

He needs a second job and can’t find one, I wasn’t invited out tonight with co-workers (probably cause I always say no) I have to work at my second job tomorrow. I want a kid but am afraid to try, and we have mice in our house! A.W.E.S.O.M.E,!! oh and half my class got picked up for a special program at the public school goodbye 37 hours a week hello 30

      Oh no! They say misery loves company so welcome to the party.

      BTW, I can’t stand mice. They drive me crazy. We’ve had off and on issues with them throughout the years. Perhaps if you could get them to pay rent then your husband wouldn’t have to get a second job.

    Hi Mami, I’m back from vacation and just caught up on your posts. So glad to hear things are improving with your pregnancy but sorry you’re feeling blue. I wish I had a funny joke to cheer you up– or that it was that easy.

    I think of Matty every time I see the Phillies too.

    I’m cheering you on as always and now I’m loving your hat too. Hang in there.

    hugs to you, I hope you are feeling better today; I think we all have our days when we feel so overwhelmed with life. I know you don’t have money, but you have a gorgeous little girl! you have love of your husband and a home to live in! I’m sure food on the table! a warm place to call home. Remember the good things you have 🙂

    I hate cleaning house; I live in a small house that takes just over an hour to clean. Last week after I finished cleaning it, I said “thank you God that I have a house to live in”. Made me feel grateful that I wasn’t out on the streets.

    pity parties are okay….for just a bit….then be thankful….I think so much better of an emotion inded 🙂

    may it be a wonderful Sunday for you and yours 🙂

    Hey, I’m holding my own party today. It’s the “I dare you to look at me cross-eyed b/c I will take you down, beeyotch” party. Boy, I at some crabby flakes for breakfast or something, but I’ve a crab all day. So I’ll spray some tears on you, if you’ll deck a few people for me.

    I just read this post. I do hope that things will be okay. There are moments when I feel down myself especially when the things I deal with are quite difficult but we just try and go on. Keep your head up, you’ll be okay 🙂
