wow no time to type before it posted.

anyway, we decided to have a bbq tomorrow which we honestly had no business doing as our plates are quite full, but it is fun and informal. I asked dh if he wanted to invite his parents and he said maybe and would let me know. We don't see them often luckily but they live around the block. I have a huge fam and most are coming tomorrow. Just this morning I asked dh again and he said he hadn't really thought about it but I said I needed to know if I should buy more food. we were on our way to the fair so figured we would figure it out this afternoon.

About 2o mins after we get  home mil called dh and asked us to go to her house tomorrow for a bbq... ugh. so dh said he thinks we have plans but will call her right back . yes he prob should have said we were going to ask you the same thing but, while our intentions really are good, we just didn't put a ton of effort into this.

We called right back and Ileft a message saying I asked dh to keep this day open and that I had just started calling people but if it wasn't too much trouble could she come to our bbq instead (they have no friends and her sister is out of town so it was just us going im certain) or if that wasn't convenient we could set up another time this weekend for a visit.

When she called back my phone wasn't near me and I had 2 whiny post fair kids. I called her back but this was after dh spoke to her and said that I was planning somthing blah blah .she said she accidentally deleted message.. she likes to tell white lies for some reason..anywayyy so I said again can you come etc.

she was about as cold as they come when she said no some other time. I said ok let me know. then I realized she was yet again in a nothing can please me mode so I said ok whatever bye. but the truth is, why can't she ever just roll with it? she is surely the one that loses out as usual by being pouty and not just coming and seeing her grandsons. My family is very pleasant to them even though she is socially akward to a miserable extent.

Now I am left annoyed about the whole thing. yes we should have asked sooner but really what's the big darn deal.. so dont have patience to make her happy these days. at the end of my rope pretty much on a daily basis

the end

Good old MIL's.  Mine wrote this long, drawn out email to some random internet stranger about how we are basically putting Ian through hell for sending him to daycare 3x/week.  Then she forwarded it to us.  I should post it on here for kicks sometime.

The latest in my saga is that mine is currently pissed because we canceled our trip with them.  DD#2 has pneumonia but apparently she still thinks we should have driven 5 hours to meet them in San Antonio and continued on our "vacation" like nothing was wrong.  Ummm, no.  We stayed home to let DD rest and get better, thank you very much.  Seriously pissed and keeps calling to "check on DD" and whine more to DH.
