Where to start? I haven't written for awhile. Did anyone miss me? I'm not going to bother writing much about my stay at the in-laws. I'll do a photo update kind of thing in my photo journal and I'll link to it when I'm finished. Then you can all see what we were up to. Or most of it is in my son's journal (for-riley) if you're really that curious. And I imagine, you're not. I have so much catching up to do on other people's journals and I just have no time to do it. Sorry about the lack of commenting and junk. Don't hate me. :) ♥
Well, I'll write a little bit about our stay, I suppose. Since this is stuff I won't be putting in the other entries. B#2 & SIL managed to set the crappy tone, as usual. Seriously. When Kent and I first got to my M&FIL's, everyone (B#2, B#3, their wives, the niece, and my M&FIL) was sitting out on the deck. So Kent, Riley & I went up and SIL completely ignored me. I'm so sick of being the one who's always trying to smooth things over when most of the time, I didn't even realise there was a problem! I tried to talk to her a few times. Twice she pretended not to hear me (or, giving her the benefit of the doubt, she really didn't hear me *ahem*) and the last time she just mumbled 'yes' and then left the room. I don't know why she dislikes me so much. She's nice to me when B#3 & T are not around. I don't know. I'm so sick of her that I just don't care anymore. I was tempted to tell her off but I didn't. She said she wanted to have another baby. Her reason? So she can name it after her dad. Yeah, that's a great reason to have more kids. Gah. Maybe I'm bitter. I don't know.
My FIL was talking to me about my miscarriage. Everyone else was in bed and Kent was in the shower. Then he started asking how I was and blahdi blah. I didn't really know what to say. My MIL was just sitting on the couch, staring off. I think her miscarriage still kind of bothers her. Back then people weren't really allowed to let things like that bother them. I said, "Well it gets a little better every day," which was kind of a lie. Some days it's a lot better and other days it hurts more than ever, out of the blue. I saw a baby in the parade up there and it made me extremely said. At the fair, there was a pig (yeah, I know this sounds crazy but bear with me here) whose birthday was 01/19/05. And I thought, that sounds so familiar. Then I realised that David would have been born on (or around) 01/19/06. So yeah, it's little things like that and I'm the only one who goes through that stuff. Just me. So what are you going to do about it? (Not you you but you in general, you. haha.) Anyway. That certainly wasn't the highlight of my day.
Then on the 4th, after the parade, everyone was outside sitting on the deck again. They had a pool set up and Riley was playing in it. Well, the niece had a big purple ball in the pool. So Riley was playing with it. When the niece saw him playing with it all of a sudden she had to have it. (A natural thing for kids, I think.) Well, SIL took it away from Riley (who was pretty gracious about it, I thought) and gave it right to the niece. Well, that kind of bugged me because Ri was playing with it and she only wanted it because he had it. That's no way to teach a kid to share but since Riley wasn't crying, I kept my mouth shut. Then the niece decided she wanted to get off the porch and play with it and B#2 (her father) said, "no" and took the ball away. SIL stormed into the house (taking the niece with her) and started packing. They left pretty soon after that. Isn't that ridiculous? They don't like it when Riley plays with her stuff. I don't understand it. SIL just plain doesn't like him, she never really has. Which bothers me because he's such a sweet kid. I don't know. Everyone tells me that they (B#2 & SIL) are jealous of Kent and I. Maybe it's true, but why take it out on Riley? He likes everyone. Ugh.
I have an enormous headache. I've had it since yesterday morning and it won't go away. I'm actually thinking about resorting to some form of pill. Tylenol just isn't doing its job. Oh well.
All right, sorry for the crappy update. Later I am going to post the answers to the rest of the songs. I don't know if anyone cares. Probably if you had one stuck in your head you've googled it by now, huh? I would have. :) I have so much I need to get done, it's driving me nuts. That's what sucks about being gone for 2� (or more) days. You get behind. Blah.
