I escaped for the day! No kids, No DH and MIL gave me $120 and told me that she knows its hard to give up a really good paying job to be a stay at home mom, especially because the kids arent mine biologically-she did it years ago, and that she really appreciates everything that I do for her son and her grandkids and to go out and buy something nice for myself!
WOOHOO! But I'm back with like no bullshit probably 30 shopping bags (including 4 bags of groceries, and 3 bags of stuff for myself).
The roads are REALLY REALLY bad out here, its been icing and snowing since 2am, black ice is building up real quick so I was thinking maybe DH should stay at his mom's tonight since thats where the kids are and since she lives like 5 minutes from his work as opposed to our 55 minutes on a good day. That would give me alot more time to wrap and hide presents!
DH is going to kill me! Between what I spent today and us swearing not to buy eachother anything (but uhm...i bought him 2 somethings) I'm in deep! I'm going to wrap the stuff for him and put "from Loxi" on one (our dog) and "from charlie" on the other (our cat!)

Eh, MIL and I pretend to get along and we KINDA do, but theres a power struggle going on. She used to get dh's x to do whatever she wanted her to because MIL is very well off and the x wanted her money. Well, I don't do ass kissing. AT ALL. Keep in mind that even though the x was abusing and neglecting the kids after DH moved out, MIL didnt want them to get divorced because its not the "catholic" thing to do, PLUS she didnt want him to end up with the girl who corrupted him way back in high school (that would be ME).
MIL definitely flexes her money muscle with DH still and sometimes it works, she does the catholic guilt thing sometimes, and tries to get him to all sorts of stuff...and nothing she NEEDS. She made him drive to wyoming to help his 19 yr old brother drive home for christmas-DUDE HE'S 19! AND 2 weeks later he is driving home alone. Why did DH need to miss a day of work and 2 days of the weekend with his kids for no reason...its a control thing I think.
Anyway, she's making an effort to be my friend and its usually financial. The thing she hasnt figured out is I dont need or want her money really. I mean I'm not stupid so I'll take it but its not going to make me kiss her ass and I think thats what she is expecting. If you want to see the kids and its not convenient for me then its still a NO. I think I'm rambling.
HAH! Yeah I do that rambling off subject thing. My mom teaches learning styles, and she says that I am a firework and she is a train. She moves logically forward and I just bounce all over.
Ok so I really hope DH stays at his mom's tonight. They just shut down 2 of the big roads by us because of bad accidents.
I think it's eaiser to write/say whatever whenever. I often re-read my posts to see if they really make sence. And I miss-type alot. And I'm to the greatest speller.
It would be a good thing if he stayed off the roads. That sounds no good. I don't think it started snowing again yet here. I know we have another 3 inches coming tonight. I love the snow and winter. Except, I don't love when my sister crashes my car. So, it's not that bad. But still.
Yeah I hope he wont drive but I bet he will. He will probably leave the kids at his mom's though-slumber party!
He is a truck driver and hauls oversize/overweight so since he hauls really hard to move stuff all day long he tends not to let weather stop him from going...he is very stubborn.
Hopefully his mom will back me up on this one. If we both don't want him to drive he might not. It would be kinda nice to have the house to myself tonight
He just called - he is staying at his mom's! I guess she sicked the kids on him had them say they were worried about him driving home. HAH. Sometimes I love that lady.
