It's Saturday! What's new?
I did everything for my mother-in-law. Made her birthday cakes, cross-stitched presents for her, bought her plants for mother's day and planted it for her. Visited her every other weekend. Sent her the same pictures I sent my Mom. We had a good relationship. Like you, I could never hurt my husbands Mom because it would hurt him. I'm shocked really that my DIL is so different. At first, my sister's thought that she just needed to grow up a little. But now they've changed their minds because they've been married ten years now.
Oh well, I just live with it. Like you said.
Hugs,
Bev
What in the hell is the matter with those two DILs? I can not even imagine how that must feel. You two both are wonderful gran mas and while I am way too old for you guys to be my MIL I would be very lucky to have one like either of you. I know you are delightful mother- in- laws and it would be known by all if you were allowed to be one to them!!!! I am sooooo sorry that you both have to put up with that. I have had more than one mother in law and while most of them were fair to midlin and one was evil I would Have NOT nor never did treat any of them with any kind of disrepect, knowing that they were the women my husbands ( oooh that sounds awful!) loved and who were their MOMS!!!!! I know this is one long run on sentence with poor grammar but that how I roll when I am wound up and I am wound up!
I just will keep sending positive energies and thoughts out to the universe that those two get their heads out of their asses before they regret it!!!!!
Bev, how lucky your grand-kids are to have you make all those memories for them and how smart you are to give to your DH to keep. Very very good move.
How very motherly of both of you to let your sons only have to deal with the witches that they married and you two keep the peace as best you can. You both get medals for being gracious loving mothers.
I have never met either of you but I can say I love you both!!!! Hope I don't sound like a weirdo but you guys are THE WOMEN!!!!!!!

Thanks Cheryl.
I never in my life ever dreamed that my son would ever put up with a woman acting the way his wife does, but he says he has the two kids and doesn't want to have to deal with custody crap. She will take their last twenty dollars and go to sonic and get fast food rather than buy groceries. Every single time that I've been to their house, she will have every single dish in the house dirty, a laundry room filled with clothes, and filthy crap everywhere. There were maggots under her drain board. My son told me he has never seen such filth. He works twelve and more hours a day and comes home and she goes to bed leaving him to prepare dinner for the kids and without benefit of clean pots. He washes a little but that's it. The last time I was there, I spent six hours cleaning her kitchen. Before I started I had to wash and dry towels so I would have dish cloths and drying towels. Her floor is always so dirty, you cannot see the color. And, to make it worse, she sells homemade cookies out of her house and uses disposable bowls and disposable pans to cook in. So, I know she cannot make a penny on those cookies. I, for one, would never eat a thing she cooks.
Anyway, that is her and how she was raised.My son said her mother is pshyco and a drug addict too. So, there you go. I just deal with what I can and move on.
My sis and I always say "so there ya go" all the time!
Take Care,

Good Morning Debbie and Friends,
Ya know what? It's dark here also at 6am! I'm in San Juan Capistrano after a great flight from home yesterday. Aren't cell phones great? I can still appreciate not having to find a pay phone and a quarter to contact someone. I called Jan S from the plane when we landed, hopping off with my carryon and was in her car within about 10 minutes! Beautiful drive down (up?) the coast to her lovely home.
After dinner she surprised me with tickets to a play competition at a small community theatre. Seven 10 minute plays and then we got to vote on which we thought was best. Actually we put them all in our own 1-7 order which was hard! After next weekend 3 of the playwrights will be awarded monetary prizes. So much fun to see local acting talent up close. I've never had the courage to do that but so appreciate those who do.
My job at 8am this morning is to purchase spring training tickets for Mike and I on March 1 in Peoria, AZ. Hope that works out as I know nothing about it. I have a phone number and the on line info so hopefully I'll be able to accomplish the task with minimal frustration!
We're headed to the Getty Museum in LA after stopping to see Jan's mom at her assisted living facility. Hopefully the sun will be shining. I think tomorrow will be our "take a nice walk along the beach and have lunch with an ocean view day." I can already tell that Tuesday will be here far too soon.
You all have a great weekend. (I think I got signed in to OH account! If not this is Karen C not Jan S!)
