Hello all in blog-land (and Facebook now too!!) ~

This past weekend the family and I ventured to the in-laws house.  I was only slightly apprehensive given the fact that this would be the 2^nd time we’ve seen each other since the latest scuttle with my MIL.  I think just the little bit of nervous that I did have was because we would be on her turf and not the ‘common ground’ we were on for Xmas (we met at a hotel in December).  She’s said that we were welcome in her home to Jeremy but I’m still wary that the ‘we’ was for him and the kids, not ‘me’. I wanted to be with my family (all of them) and I think staying in the cabin made it easier on her and me.

 I think the weekend went swimmingly to be honest.  I still grapple with the fact that she doesn’t like me …but to be honest…I’m not sure there are a lot of DILs out there who don’t worry about it. So, I guess that is normal?

 My MIL always does such sweet things for us when we come visit though. Jeremy and I stayed in a cabin next to their house (a very nice treat in itself…they have a couch-bed that does the job but can be hell on Jeremy’s back).  We let the kids stay with the grandparents without our ‘watchful’ eye so-to-speak and in return – we got 2 blissful mornings to sleep in. It is so rare that Jeremy and I get to sleep in together that this made us ‘over-the-moon’.  I can’t believe I slept as much as I did…but I still slept on the way home. I seem to get car-sick trying to read nowadays. It sucks. I swear it is a sign of my impending trek into the 30 and up club and I am none to happy about its closeness either!!!

 All in all we had a great weekend. For those of you who know us well enough to know that we were going – thanks for the well wishes. It really did go well, from our point of view. Jeremy and I even talked about sending the kids to their house this summer for a week a piece (he’d be fine with more but I’d miss them too much!!!).  I can’t wait for Aidan to be able to catch his first fish with his Papaw like Logan did last summer. How cool would that be??
