mothers in law....

dinner with the mother in law and her boyfriend tonight...

plusses- free food at Ruths Chris steakhouse
minuses- i resent that she feels she can demand time with us after she ignored her son for the better part of his life. i dislike that in the 6 years that P and I have been together she has only supported him when she feels its convenient and that he feels compelled to say "it's just how she is...you can't expect anything else from her" Why should any son have to say that about his mother?

grrr.

perhaps i shall order filet. or lobster. or perhaps both. that will make me feel better :-)

oooooh i hear a big BAH HUMBUG in the room!

3 things:

my parents who have always, ALWAYS been there for me no matter what
my husband who deserves the best from everyone because he unconditionally loves them
that people in the world are finding holiday cheer in the little things like goofy ornaments and tinny musical cards and old christmas specials.

haha. no, no. no little ones yet. we have our hands full with the furbabies and need time to ourselves first! (or at least...i am hoping it isn't little ones...that would be a HUGE surprise...but one we can manage, i'm sure). :)

hope you made it through dinner with the MIL without any injuries!
