Is it Friday yet?

Written on Tuesday April 01, 2008 at around 4 PM

Friday is finally when the FIL leaves!!! We have had him out before and this time I'm even more mad with him.  He sees the kids once every other year for about 30 minutes and he never talks to them on the phone.  He never even gave B a birthday card at his birthday party.  He is so ignorant and selfish and a total liar and I really don't like people like him.  I have never liked him and I never will.

When he's out here it just stresses us out and The Man and I fight constantly.  Today I had lunch with one of my girlfriends and I just had to have a rant about him.  It's just so bad and annoying that I can't even explain the crap he's pulling.  It doesn't matter because he's never going to change his eating habits and he'll die of a heart attack.

I'm trying to get in the habit of being a "good christian" and in a passage that was read Sunday, I find it very hard to be that good, about just letting stuff slide.  With all the stress of what's going on with me, my dad being a prick (I won't even go into what we fought about today) and the FIL's crap that it's very hard.  All I want to do is slap these jerks around so they can see what they are doing to their families.  I am just as guilty of that because I can't seem to stand up to my dad, I sure as heck will tomorrow after I get my results back though.

The kids have enjoyed the FIL being out here, luckily they are to young to understand what he's really like.  I'm not going to change how they feel or anything, I try to keep my hatred away from them and vent to The Man when they aren't around.  He's (FIL) is completely useless though.

I haven't told the kids that a cat adopted us yesterday.  I told B not to go in the washroom, that's where the act it, and he hasn't.  I did let the "Cat With No Name" (a knock off of the America's song) out of the washroom.  She seems to be adjusting nicely now.  I wanted to brush her now that she lets me hold her and stuff but wanted to do it outside and she did not want that at all.  She was at least nice about it unlike last night.  I got nervous because she would go right to the dark corners in the bathroom but since I just let her do her thing, she's pretty laid back.

She's quite funny because she really doesn't like to play a whole lot yet but she loves to sleep in the cushioned pet carrier and also the bathroom sink.  She doesn't cry and pretty much stays to herself.  I do go looking for her just to make sure that she's doing ok.  Tomorrow after my appointment I have to hurry home so I can take her to Petsmart for her grooming day.  I figured I'd let the professionals do her.  She's starting to like me and I don't want to change that.

We found out that she weighs around 5lbs., is a female, 6 months old, part persian and pretty much full grown.  She is quite tiny and will be fixed next week so we won't have to worry about all the fun girly stuff happening.

B is getting excited that he's going to a birthday party this weekend and starts a new school hopefully this next week.  I'll just be happy when I get my house back and I can just hang out with my kids without HIM around.  This weekend is going to be busy because we have the party this Saturday afternoon and then Sunday we'll be spending the day at church getting our membership classes done.

But I did do one productive thing today, I did get laundry caught pretty much back up before my noon deadline of having to not being able to use electricity.  Again sorry about the rant I just can't get off of it until he leaves.  I think this time for real The Man and I are finally on the same page about his dad and the fact that his will not be coming back out to the house ever again!!!

Tomorrow there will be a later post than usual since I have the Mayo appointment and then the grooming appointment.  I think that it's funny how The Man thinks of this new cat as cool.  Since we don't have a name picked out, we could use some help trying to come with an original name for her.  If you have any suggestions please email me at (mom @ onlyformoms. com).
