Poor me Moment

Okay, I realize I have better things to do than to have this little sob fest. I haven't posted something for a while, but I just wanted to vent a little. Having said that, here it goes...
1.) In August, the girls in the Bird family decided that it was time for a "Girly Trip". The boys go and do fun stuff all the time, and the gals get to stay home. Which isn't as bad as it sounds, but not as fun as it sounds at the same time. In all our planning, it came to my attention, (by a very rude gesture from he-who-must-not-be-named) that I was not going to be able to go. That I had spent all summer at home, and that it just wasn't a good idea to drive BACK to Idaho Falls, for a weekend trip to Vegas. So I graciously bowed out, and the other girls went minus myself.
2.) Rayce is a HUGE Detroit Lions Fan. I was looking at their schedule and saw that they played the Seahawks in Seattle. Knowing that we probably wouldn't be able to go again (because it has been 4 years since these two had met up) that we should go to the game. Priced tickets, hotels, gas costs, food, the whole works. Put some Lions memorabilia into the budget to bring back to Cayge (following in his Paws footsteps as a Lions fan) , and had everything all planned out, just needed to make sure Rayce was on the same page. We decided that if we went, we would not go home for Thanksgiving break so that we could afford to go home for Christmas break.
Now, this is where it all went wrong (for me at least)
Rayce's brother called saying that the weekend before Thanksgiving, the Bird boys all wanted to go to Vegas and watch a UFC fight. Without any hesitation AT ALL, Rayce said yes. He tells me that we will not be going to the Lions game, and that he was going to Vegas with the boys. Which isn't to bad, because I am in desperate need of being away from my house, and it will be fun to go home. But the more I think about it, the more jealous I get, because it was ME that wanted to go to Vegas all along, not Rayce. But I remind my self to not be a selfish brat, and not say anything to him and let him go have a guilt free trip.
Then today, a friend of mine calls Rayce (this gal happens to be the daughter of the Detroit Lions Offensive Line) and says that she has one extra adult and one extra child ticket if Rayce and Cayge were interested in going to the game. It is an all expense paid trip. They don't have to pay for gas, tickets, natta. Once again, he doesn't hesitate to say yes. Which in so many ways, I don't blame him.
But here I am, not getting to go to Vegas or to the Lions game. And here is Rayce, getting to go to Vegas and to the Lions game.
You all probably think I am being a brat, and have it out for my hubby. But just remember that he said no to these two trips when it was me going, and my idea!

honestly, I would be pissed too, but that's my personality. I am usually pretty outspoken (not always a good thing). Sorry, I hate situations that don't feel "fair". I hope you do get to go do something fun for you :) How did the kids party's turn out?
