Update on my incredibly interesting life. Don't laugh, ok?

OK, so I am in a much better mood than I was in the last couple of days. Yesterday I spent a ridiculous amount of time with my mother at a local hospital type place in order for her to get a test. Big fun. I did see one of my hub's 9 kagillion aunts there and found out (please brace y'allselves for this shit) that my MIL is planning on having a....seriously, are you braced?.....a party for her upcoming anniversary. Yeah, that doesn't sound so bad, right?

Wait.

Oh wait.

Yeah, now it's coming to you.

Um, my FIL, the one to which she was married and had said anniversaries with, is DEAD. So she is planning on having a party celebrating that she is a widow. Um, I am not one to judge how another should mourn. I know that people deal with things differently, especially things that are difficult. However, is it just me or is that odd? As the hub's aunt said, "Is there something wrong with her?"

Today my mother had yet another doctor's appointment so we grabbed a quick bite to eat and then off to the appointment. It was not as appallingly long as yesterday's was, thank goodness. Then we hit the grocery to restock my really sad looking fridge and pantry. Then we hit Walgreens for the Momenator to grab another Rx. Now I am home innocently trying to watch disk 4 of Season 2 of the Gilmore Girls and the damn disk is fucking up. Why? Why? I ask so little of life.

Well, there is news on the child support front. It seems that we SHOULD get a small reduction in the child support but the actual amount is still up in the air until we find out exactly how much the bitch pays for insurance for the boy. That will affect what our reduction is. The better news is that the reduction, whatever it may be, is retroactive to the last day of school for the girl. Say prayers. Lots of prayers. We should know by 9:30 or 10 o'clock tomorrow. Central time. Keep sending the vibes people. Good vibes for lots of cash for us.

We also have a very important appointment tomorrow at 1. I am not going into details but it could be major for us. Think majorly good thoughts for that. In fact, this appointment is more important to me than the court in the morning so if you are short on vibes and can only give good vibes for one thing, then please pick this one. Does that make sense?

Oh man, I also got fabulous news. My annoying neighbors next door are moving. The stars have aligned I think. They must have because I am currently listening to him rev the engine of his motorcycle and it is like a spike going through my skull. That spike will be gone in March. God bless.

Well, being that the activity level that I have had to maintain for the last 2 days is way above what I committed to (which is sloth) I am behind on my relaxing, so I have to go get horizontal immediately or I might burn a calorie and that is not gonna happen if I continue to sit upright and type. I am almost exhausted.

Girl, we used to pay $1800 a month.
For about 2 years.
IT SUCKED DICK.
And whatever you are keeping from us GOOD LUCK with that too.
I can't wait to hear what it is!!
at 9:01 PM Pissy Britches said...: And BTW..we only paid it for 2 years b/c we had to spend 6 grand more and take the bitch to court to get custody.
She is suppose to pay us $200 a week for the last 5 years.
Do you think we have seen a penny?
Hell naw.
at 9:02 PM Pissy Britches said...: $DAMN..
200 a MONTH I meant.
Shit.
at 9:09 PM Lori said...: Uh, I think having an anniversary party when the hubs has passed on is a a little creepy. Just sayin'

Good luck on the CS and whatever else you got cooking.
at 11:24 PM Nap Queen said...: Yeah, the anniversary party is wrong and creepy. If it was presented as a memorial party for you FIL, that would be one thing, but.....

I'm dying to know what your appt. is about!!! I think I know, but I'll keep my mouth shut.

YAY on the neighbors!!!! Woo hoo!

I got disk one of Felicity in the mail today. NO LAUGHING!

at 10:17 AM Amy said...: Hey there! Happy vibes on your appt, I think I have a guess.
at 10:29 AM Kami said...: HAVE A GREAT APPOINTMENT.

WTF is up with the MIL? Interesting.
at 12:26 PM Kathryn said...: That's weird about the party.

Hope the appointment goes well.

I hate court.

That is all.
at 12:38 PM Bart said...: That is a weird ass party for sure.
at 1:09 PM Kat said...: Okay, that party does sound like it would be a bit of a downer. Never heard of one like that before.

Good luck with both things. You better get your ass out here and tell us how everything went as soon as possible! :)
at 2:20 PM Tammy said...: Good luck girl!!

Let us know.
at 11:10 PM Unknown said...: A party to celebrate becoming a widow?

...I just don't know what else to say...that's just...not right...
at 12:42 PM Teacher lady said...: New here by way of Liberal Banana and having lots of fun. Speaking of fun, attending an anniversary party for one half of a couple does not sound . . . fun. What do you bring for a "gift?" One half of a salt and pepper shaker set? "Hers" towels? The first season of "The Newlyweds?" Although, now that I think about it, the blog possibilities are endless. Can't wait to read all about this party.

Yup, your MIL is fucking insane.
