Okay, not really, but it sounded good at the time. Tomorrow we'll be on a plane to MO to see me mum in-law! Oh how I love her so! I'm fortunate to be able to say that about an in-law, most can't say the same! My mom picks up on how much I love my mother in-law and is jealous. She shouldn't be. If she treated me with half as much respect as Pahn's mom than I would have no reason to resent her. Bleh! At least after all that she complained about in the letter she's still kept her word on taking us to the airport. I know it's kinda bad, but I look forward to it as a vacation from my family. Her objections were made clear no matter how far out and now my Grandpa has started in on me, "You picked a hell of a time to take a trip..." I wish you weren't going..." Blah Blah Blah. Not a one of them truly understand the fact that I no longer have a place in my heart for their complaints. All the space that was originally there allowing me to care what they think is taken up by my husband and our little tiffs and my son and his present and future and believe me, THAT's understating it. Unfortunately, while I could careless what they think about my decisions in life, it still annoys me that they even voice their complaints at all. My world no longer revolves around my mother and as for Grandpa, he just looks for things to complain about because he has little else to do in his retirement besides watch T.V. and without Grandma it's made it all the worse. I love them both, but they sit there and degrade my every decision as if their own decisions are so superior. Please. Grandma and Grandpa ruined their entire future being the traditional Grandma and Grandpa all by following their precious daughter, my mom, to TN. That's when everyone's life went downhill, including the lives of two little boys that had yet to be born. They could've stayed in MI where they were financially stable, could've easily and were in the process of owning the home they were living in, but they wanted to make sure she would be okay. They're better parents then I would be, I believe you make your bed you lie in it. Mom's life would have SUCKED royally had she moved down here by herself and it wouldn't have taken her sixteen years to leave my real father, she would've returned home and probably led a much better life than she EVER did with my father. Of course that's just speculation, but still. And now look at her, addicted to a man addicted to crack. He's left her (and I mean up and left no good bye sometimes stealing things to pawn and buy crack, once that included her one and only vehicle) five times and counting and she was finally getting her life in order this past time. We were talking about moving back to MI, but now that she's gotten back in contact with her boy toy she's ready to move to Memphis, ship her dad off to MI, if my brothers don't want to go to Memphis then off they go back to the man we fought for EIGHT years to free them from, and Hubby, the Baby & I are left to fend for ourselves. Sweet lady isn't she? *sighs* Sorry, needed to vent!
Pray for Pahn, Baby & I for traveling mercies. Pray we make it there safely with all of our luggage in tact and we stay healthy and we get back safely with all of our luggage in tact and we managed to stay healthy the entire trip and then some. Okies, well, gotta go! We have a long trip ahead of us! Well, not really. An hour and a half as opposed to 10 hours on the road... Bleh..... PRAY HARD!!!
vacation finally!
