Super Fast Weekend!

Wow is it really Monday already?  My last three day weekend flew by.

It started with dinner at my MIL's for her birthday on Thursday night.  Both Walleye and I were rather cool to my FIL - I took my cues from Walleye since it's his Dad.  And I think my FIL realizes that things haven't been too good and that maybe he wasn't acting as he should be during this entire vacation ordeal.  He was overly nice to us, thanked us for everything we did and then offered to take us out for dinner as the least he could do to show his gratitude.  Walleye told him we'd see about dinner some night.

For the most part my MIL's birthday dinner went well...until we were just sitting down to eat our DQ cake and in walks Free Loader with a card and flowers and her 4 kids in tow.  She made a huge ordeal about telling my MIL that she brought flowers and wishing her a happy birthday.  Then tried to make small talk with us while her kids ran screaming and yelling through out the house.  I know this wasn't a very Christian thing to do but I didn't even acknowledge her - not once.  The only time Walleye did was when she asked a question and I had just put a bite of cake in my mouth (thankfully!).  I wasn't sure if she caught on to the cold shoulder or not.  But my BIL did call Walleye the next day to see what we were up to for the weekend - which is rather unusual. 

My FIL claims he knew nothing about the birthday party that was going on on Saturday and that my MIL's friend planned the whole thing.  I don't know if I believe him or not but at this point it doesn't matter any more.  We ended up not going - neither of us wanted to have any contact with my BIL and Free Loader.  And we were actually really busy on Saturday cleaning the house and garage to start getting ready for the upcoming BBQ. 

My FIL leaves on the 17th for another 2 - 3 week motorcycle trip.  Yes, you read that correctly...he is once again leaving for 2 - 3 weeks after having just got back.  He asked Free Loader to watch my MIL from 2:30 - 4:30 on the days an aid won't be there during that time.  Which Free Loader said she would except for when she has a job interview and then if she gets the job.

I about dropped my piece of ice cream cake when I heard Free Loader was actually interviewing for a job.  I didn't think that woman would ever work.  Good for her.  Glad she is actually going to be responsible and not live off the child and state support she receives or my BIL for that matter.  I just never thought I'd see the day.  Although I am hesitant that should she get the job that she'll actually be able to hold onto it.  It's at the prison as a guard but that means some weekend and holiday work - especially as a newbie.  And considering she quit her PT job at the gas station because they required her to work Thanksgiving.  She thought because she had 4 kids she shouldn't have to work holidays. I pray she gets the job and is smart enough to accept it and all that comes along with it. 

Besides the little bit of in-law drama on Thursday night the weekend was great.  Went by super fast.  Walleye and I spent a lot of time together.  Besides starting to get things ready for the BBQ we also were totally and completely lazy and it was heaven!

Well I think that's about enough about my in-laws and Free Loader.  In pregnancy news there's really nothing new.  I still don't feel very pregnant, but I have been very good about leaving it up to Him and not worrying too much about it.  Every once in a while I get a little worried and nervous or an overwhelming feeling that I'll have a missed miscarriage but I usually stop myself, say a quick prayer and go on with my day.  I am excited for my u/s in two weeks!  It will be nice to see the little one again.  And I really can't wait until the weekend of the 27-28 to tell my family! 

And lastly, thank you for the comments on my last post Morgan and Awaiting.  I appreciate the comments and prayers!
