Blargh.
Yeah I couldn't think up a good title, sue me.
Went to Montana recently to visit the parents. My dad couldn't be a slouch and had to mention as many times as possible that he was dying. I know he's dying, I'm sure it's hard, but it bothered me anyway. "Hey dad, meet your new son-in-law" "Hello my name is John and I'm probably not even going to make it through this introduction cause I'm dying"
The whole time we were there it was pretty much par for the course. My parents treated me like I was once a houseguest they storta liked. I had told my man that it was going to happen, but he thought I was just exaggerating, yet- no- he saw it too. I suppose I should be bitter and I was for many years, but anymore I just have to say that it feels as if I have no real family. I guess now that I have a husband, his family treats me more like family than any family I have ever known.
My husband has surprised me though. Just when I think he's going to be fiercely independant, and expect me to be as well, he will confide in me and treat me like his best friend. He expects the money we earn to be ours, I had a hard time with this at first (I'll tell you why later) but even though I've earned more than him in the past, he now earns more than me and still has the same philosophy about money.
My last relationship was pretty much just "you do for you and I'll do for me, oh and I'll screw you over too...but that won't come for a year or so after the relationship has ended" That really wasn't a "relationship" though, it was sorta like room mates.
Anyway, I have a three day weekend and I'm not planning anything huge. I should get some stuff done that needs to be done, but that's as far as it goes really.
This is cute: my dog is sleeping with her toy in her mouth and all tucked under her paws because my room mate's dog has been trying to get it from her all day.
