WTF!!!!!!!
That is pretty much all I have to say to my MIL at this point...WTF!!!! My hubby called her Tuesday evening to let her know it would've been nice to have been told that his Granny was in a nursing home and out of the hospital and all she had to say to him was "well, I have been waiting a couple of weeks for you to call". So, he replied "well you know you always say the road runs both ways" to which she replied nothing. He then said that he called her Saturday and didn't get a call back and she tells him "well I didn't get a message cause the batteries in my answering machine died." Yeah likely story, how do the batteries die but it still picks up and takes the message from Kyle in the first place. So, then she tells him she isn't doing anything for Thanksgiving and I think okay so now we don't have 3 places to go at this point. (YEAH!!!!)
So, Wednesday night I venture out to get some stuff for Thursday that I have forgotten and when I get home I am informed that my MIL got her other son to call me and my husband at 9:30 PM Wednesday night to tell us that she is having something at her house at 4 on Thurday! WTF!!!! I was livid. She couldn't call herself after what my hubby just got through telling her not 1 night before!!!! So, we didn't go. If she had wanted us there she would've called herself. Of course, my husband's grandma (not the one in the nursing home) doesn't see it that way. When that side of the family asked why we didn't go to her house for Thanksgiving I replied "if she had wanted us there she would've called herself" to which I got the lovely response of "well, Pam, maybe when you get older you will understand everything she has on her mind." Yeah like her son who had nothing to do with her for 6 years that all of a sudden needs her when I was the one there for her the last 4 years!!! I politely got up and left her house!!!! How dare his family throw all this back on me and take up for the woman who never has a kind word to say about any of them!!! How dare they make it look like my fault that she is up her other son's ass now and has nothing to do with us because her other son needs her so much now when before he didn't even go over to her house although they lived right beside each other. It is not mine or Kyle's fault that I have tried to go see her and she is never home, or she never gets our messages or she doesn't want to call us or come see us even though she has been invited numerous times.. I AM DONE!!!!! You can't make someone see what they don't want to see! I tried talking to her about 2 months ago and all she had to say to me was basically everything was mine and kyle's fault. That we backed away, and never called anymore. Well, why am I going to keep calling someone that is either never home, doesn't return my phone calls, or wants to see her other grandson all the time anymore over my child. She also told me that she was just trying to get a relationship w/ a grandchild that she hasn't known for 2 years. Oh, and basically disown my child in the process? I don't think so!!!!
Other than all of that drama my Thanksgiving was great!!! Only got to see part of my family since some of them couldn't come down and others were working but it was still good. I made a pie for the 1st time and it went over really well. My dad told me that my grandma would be proud of me!! I made his favorite--Lemon Chess Pie--and he said that he hadn't had one of those since like 1970 and it was every bit as good as he remembered one being :)

When it rains it pours!!!!
So, where do I begin. After a day like today I wish I could be Bill Murray in Groundhog Day and just start all over again. I hope today is not a sign for how this week will go.
For starters, my mother in law is not talking to me or my husband. (Long story, way too long to go into here right now...maybe another time) So, I get over that yesterday only to walk into work today and find a PILE of work that was left for me. I work with a guy who is off this week and Friday he asked me if I would help him out with the work he has now. I think his exact words were something like, "it'll be easy, i will have most of it done by Saturday and all you have to do is get my checks for me and put them together." So, I think no prob. WRONG!!! I got the work this morning and it is 18 folders (yes EIGHTEEN!!!) of work. One of the sets of folders has to be wired to the tax company at that. I have no clue how to do that. So, now i have all of these Maryland taxes to pay plus my New Jersey ones. Then, I find out that instead of being off on Friday, since I am helping him today, I may have to come in a little while on Friday and do his Maryland for him then too.
Okay so I get home and I have made it through the day no other worries. Oh wait, forgot that hubby calls me at work and he has a flat tire. UGH!! Gets it fixed and $21 later has a spare on his truck (they couldn't patch his).
So, I go take a hot bath trying to relax. I put child to bed, and fall asleep doing that. Hubby wakes me up, and I come in here to do a little internet searching. Get a phone call from my father in law. He lets me know that my hubby's grandma is doing Thanksgiving dinner this year at Noon. WHAT!!! Kyle's mom does her's at 11 (which we are not going this year if she doesn't return Kyle's phone call by Thursday--not my idea it was his)(like I said a long story with that one :) ), then we usually go to my mom's at 12:30 and then his grandma's at 6. but this year she decided to change at the last minute. I had to tell my dad in law that we had prior plans, like from a month ago, to go to my mom's at 12:30. His grandma is always doing something like this. Needless to say, I could hear the disappointment in his voice.
So, yes instead of my husband feeling bad for not going, I will end up being the one to feel guilty. My mom says I try to please everyone and you just can't do that all the time. I know that and I tell myself that, but my heart tells me I should feel bad for letting people down. I am hoping that tomorrow is alot better than today.
Oh on a brighter note I did get a rebate check from Verizon tonight in the mail :) Yeah, Christmas money (considering I have bought two gifts so far and they are for the same person...lol)

My Christmas Q & A
Okay, so I stole this from Carol, who got it from a couple of people so if you like you can steal it from me :)
1. Egg Nog or Hot Chocolate?
I like both but I prefer hot chocolate, or hot apple cider :)
2. Does Santa wrap presents or just sit them under the tree?
Both!! The ones in the stockings are always wrapped and the ones sitting out are not.
3. Colored lights on tree/house or white?
I like white ones and the hubster likes colors so we alternate each year.
4. Do you hang mistletoe?
Nope, never have.
5. When do you put up your decorations?
Usually after Thanksgiving
6. What is your favorite holiday dish (excluding dessert)?
My mom's home made sweet potato casserole. She alternates slices of sweet potatoes and pecans, syrup, and a sugar concoction, and they are to die for!!!
7. Favorite Holiday memory as a child?
Getting to be the one to decorate the tree, and baking Christmas cookies just for Santa with my mom.
8. When and how did you learn the truth about Santa?
I think I was seven and we had just come home from the mall from seeing Santa, and I asked my mom how he would know where we lived and how he would get in since we didn't have a fireplace. She just froze and couldn't answer me quick enough. :)
9. Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve?
When I was younger we would go to my grandma's and do that but since she passed away we do everything on Christmas. That means 4 families now on one day--me and my hubby and child, my parents, and his parents (they are divorced so that is two houses for him)
10. How do you decorate your Christmas Tree?
Colored lights or white lights and snowmen, snowmen, and more snowmen. Plus bows, and other ornaments I have collected throughout the years.
11. Snow! Love it or Dread it?
Well, since I live in the South I never get to see any so I love the way it looks but I would not want to deal with it day in and day out.
12. Can you ice skate?
Somewhat
13. Do you remember your favorite gift?
My favorite childhood one would have to be one year I got all kind of Strawberry Shortcake stuff and an Easy Bake oven, and as an adult these silver hoop earrings from my dad.
14. What's the most important thing about the Holidays for you?
First of all it would have to be Christ's birth because we wouldn't have Christmas without that, and secondly would be seeing the joy in my child's eyes at all the holiday things! Oh and baking!
15. What is your favorite Holiday Dessert?
My mom's sweet potato pie, and her homemade coconut cake.
16. What is your favorite holiday tradition?
Reading the Christmas story on Christmas Eve with my family.
17. What tops your tree?
A big garnet colored bow that has 4 long streamers coming off of it down the sides of the tree.
18. Which do you prefer giving or receiving?
I always enjoy giving alot more than getting. Especially now that I am a mom.
19. What is your favorite Christmas Song?
Oh holy night
20. Candy Canes?
Definitely!! I love the cinnamon flavored ones the best :)
1. Egg Nog or Hot Chocolate?

AAAGGHHH!!!
okay so i changed my template and now it won't give me a place to put my links to my friends!!! i don't know where exactly in the template to put the lingo to add a link
and i don't know how to start up my links list again. usually on templates they have a starter line so you know where to put it. i can't access my old template (even though it said it would save it for me) to see what to do.
any help out there for this ?

Changes
So, I just switched to the new blogger beta since I saw the announcement again for it when I signed in tonight. I hope I like it. I will have to play around with it to see what I can find out about it. Right now I am watching the movie Cars for about then umpteenth time!!! But it's all gravy baby since it is a really good movie.
Found out last night that I am going to be an aunt again. My sis in law called me last night and informed me. I am happy for them but it kind of sucks cause I have been trying since June and she started trying in August. Oh well, it will happen when it should :) Just glad that my family is growing. I love babies! however she informed me last night that I need to hurry up and get pregnant so that we can be pregnant at the same time. I wanted to tell her "yeah well i have been trying but some of us just aren't fertile Myrtles!!!" but I bit my tongue. The same girl that wants to be pregnant with me now just told me a month ago that I was selfish and she wasn't waiting on me to get pregnant that she was going to keep trying. She was ready to have another one now. Yeah okay she is kind of psycho!! Either she wants to or doesn't want to have a baby at the same time. Don't they make medicine for people like her. Like vanishing pills maybe??!! lol.
Anyway, so just a couple of changes for right now. Nothing too drastic. Hope everyone is doing well.

My Christmas Table
Okay so I know it is not even Thanksgiving yet, but a group of ladies at my church got together and decorated tables for a dinner we are having tomorrow night. I did a table this year, with the help of a co-worker, and I am really proud of the results. The themes of the table were supposed to be Christmas and you had to come up with a Bible verse to go with your table theme. I did snowmen and the verse I chose was Isaiah 1:18b "...though your sins be as scarlet, they will be white as snow, though they be as crimson they will be like wool." I thought it was appropiate considering I did snowmen. Anyway, I had such a blast. Take a look at how it turned out. Most of the stuff i used for it came from the dollar tree, with the exception of the centerpiece which is my snowman display for home. The chair covers are from the dollar tree, the plates and both glasses (coffee cup and glass) are from dollar tree, and the little snowman tea lamps are from the dollar tree.
