Christmas was nice. I got to see my Mom and my Sissy on Christmas, my Dad and Stepmom on Christmas Eve. The kids had a nice time and got some really great gifts. I got gift cards to Target so I am trying to decide what to shop for, I don't want to waste them.
The thing that is bothering me now is New Years Eve. J and the kids are going up to Door County to see my monster-in-law. She had a big old heart attack around Thanksgiving and of course luck was with her and one of her guests at the dinner party she and her husband were having was on oxygen so she got oxygen till the EMT could get there. Then they transported her to Green Bay where she coded twice! Yet they were still able to save her and give her a pacemaker. I have always said that she was indestructable and now I know it. She will never die. I am doomed to have her hanging around forever. So she cried and begged and of course John said yes to us all coming up there for New Years only then she says she doesn't want the dog up there, so we either find a kennel - big bucks, or guess who stays home. Now I truly don't mind the staying home part, the part I am bitter about is not being with my hubby and kids on New Years. Everyone says she can't live forever, be nice to her, give her what she wants. But I beg to differ, she is going to live a damn long time and she is never nice. She has said horrible things about me and my parenting and how I have ruined J's life by having all these kids(five boys). She is so mean to her husband and guilts her children all the time into doing just what she wants. I really don't like her at all and yet she is my husbands mother and my kids grandmother so I try to be nice, but it is very hard to do. Last year my husbands sister got divorced and because my in-laws lost their regular stop of going to her house to visit with her kids and her husband they stayed with us all day long, because of that my mother wouldn't come over she hates my mother-in-law because of some things that my mother-in-law said about me to her. Really if you are going to diss someone don't do it to their own Mom.
I guess I need to figure out a way to let it go, but it would have been a lot easier if she would have just died, I know that is mean but I can't help it she just causes so much misery in my family that I really can't help it. This venting helps, no one even knows about this blog except my sissy so I feel safe expressing here.
