*update at the bottom*
Aaaaaaaargh. The thoughtlessness of my own husband sometimes amazes me. I just got an email from my mother-in-law that said she is coming down on Sunday and spending the night. In the email, she was writing as though I already knew. Also, she wanted me to thank Kent. Because he gave her his ticket to Zoe's dance recital. What. the. fuck!
Okay let me back up. On Sunday, my niece has a big dance recital. Kent and I bought advance tickets and made plans for my mother to watch Riley while we went. Aislyn was going with us. Well, apparently Kent is NOT going now - he has given his mother his ticket. And not only that, she's spending the night HERE.
I repeat: what the fuck?! How could he not tell me that? I know when I bitch at him about it later (and you'd better believe I will) then he will just say, "Oh I thought I told you" or "Oh whoops. Sorry, I forgot." Neither reason is good enough. Gah. I'm seriously tempted to throw a party someday and then when people start showing up I'll just say, "Oh sorry, I forgot to tell you!" I HATE COMPANY. I hate company that I'm unprepared for even more.
I have enough SHIT to do without entertaining his family. Now HIS niece is having a recital and I'M expected to go with HIS mother? Not going to happen. She can have MY ticket and he can fucking go. I'm seriously pissed. Of course he's at work and the jerk man (I'm trying to be nice) has turned off the cell phone.
Also it's dark, gloomy and rainy, both kids are sick (again! just runny noses and general crankiness but still!) and I haven't even gotten a chance to shower yet. Stupid stupid day.
BACK: 7:48 pm
Whoops. I forgot an excuse. The... "I knew you'd get mad so I didn't want to tell you" excuse. The worst part about this one (for me) is that he always adds, "And see, I was right! You are mad." Gaaaaaah. Honestly. I'm mad BECAUSE you didn't tell me. Not because of what it is but because I was left in the dark when other people assumed I knew.
Anyway, Kent's lucky that he didn't use that one. I was definitely NOT in the mood for it. I tried his cell phone again and it was still off so I left a message. He told me later I sounded pretty pissed off and I said, "That's because I was!" Anyway, he blamed it on his mother. Shock. Men always blame everything on their mothers. I'm only half kidding. So he claims that he had said he didn't really want to go and she said she'd take his ticket. He says that he thought she was just kidding. Umm, yeah. And the overnight visit thing? He had no idea. I believe him about that because I heard him when he talked to her on the phone. Parents! They just sort of decide they are coming and tell you. I would have liked more notice but at least she didn't email ON Sunday and say, "I'm coming down for the night." That's not completely out of the realm of possibility either. Aah well. At least Kent and I aren't fighting.
I've been sort of half watching American Idol this season. Not really even half watching. I turn it on to watch Blake. I don't think he's going home tonight so meh. Who even cares? Something tells me that show isn't quite as popular as it once was.
I need to clean the bath tub. I'm sooo unbelievably embarrassed to write this but I have only cleaned the tub ONCE since Aislyn was born. It icks me out like you wouldn't believe. No time! I mean, I've wiped it down and sort of cleaned but I haven't bleached it or anything. I used to do that once a week. Yikes. Two kids ARE more work than one, I don't care what anyone says. I like them okay anyway, though. :)
