OK, Now that I'm Sober...
Last night me, Husband, all 3 kids & our friend H went to H's SIL's house for dinner. While there, SIL's husband decided to give us all double shots of bourbon. He didn't get bad, but the rest of us kind of did, especially H. I've known her 20 years & I've never seen her that bad. She fell off a bench. She was crying, which is very rare for her. She brought up all sorts of stuff about her husband dying, including how she feels god is punishing her for not believing in him. I told her a mutual friend of ours had a similarly crappy childhood & became a pagan as a result of god not helping her (I didn't get in to any details, not that I know many) & H said she doesn't have enough faith left to even become a pagan.
After we left L's house, Husband & H had to drive to his sisters house to feed her cats. She lives about 20 minutes away. On the way there they talked more, then H barfed in the car. Unfortunately, it was my car; the one with the working AC. >:-{ Dammit. I cleaned it out this AM & it wasn't that bad. I guess she mostly got herself. Ugh. Poor H. I just wish there was something more I could do for her.
Today we went to a picnic with the Boy Scouts. It was at a park near the zoo & the zoo was free from 4-6, so we went for the free hours. Youngest had a lot of fun. We were in line to ride the train. It loaded up & it was obvious we'd have to wait till the next one. Youngest could see it leaving. He screamed "WAIT!!" Then burst in to tears. Poor thing. It's hard to be 2.5. :-(
Today also, Oldest & Daughter got picked up by their dad, who is back from his internship. He's leaving with them tomorrow for a week in
VA Beach. He's driving. I'm nervous because he's a terrible driver. I hope they'll be ok. I miss them already. I know they'll have fun seeing their grandparents & stuff, but I still worry.
