View ROCKINCHICK's food & exercise for this day
Things are looking brighter today. Not only is it Sunday and I can go to church for some praise and worship and word but the weather is going to almost 71 degrees today. I can open up my garage and actually get some laundry done.
A couple of friends have asked why I need to take a day off from work like I did. Well my friends the answer is simple. After going out of town Thursday to deal with the drama of two sis in-laws and a father in- law ill. I also left my 17yr old down there to wait for his grandpa to leave the convelesent home so he can take care of some things for him. I ended up getting a call later saying he had been drinking with his 19 year old cousin and they were out driving around both unlicensed drivers in a town 1 hour from here. They also were taunting my overly drunk brother in-law with a barking pit bull. Eddy was to the point that he went in his room plugged in an electric chain saw waiting for the dog to come in so he can defend himself. My then tweeking (yes on meth) sister in-law (this one is the oldest and was not in the hospital, I have 3) and her husband came over to see if they can get Dad's checks (they were up to no good and did not get them anyway). They all take advantaged of this and I am fed up. Well needless to say my stress from the drama was so high, my blood pressure was risen I just had to stay home. I mostly sat in the living room watching my TIVO shows from thursday.
There is a light of hope in the San Joaquin valley. The scum who had been swindling my father in-law (btw she wears all leather coats and boots and has designer clothing and purses). She kept coming by everyday asking for more and more mondy. She kept using an excuse called the lawyers need to money to work on your truck patended. Well this was a Saturday night, last night, when it all came to a head. My one sil that lives with fil told him straight up, if she gets any more of the money her and Eddy will stop making the house payment and move out. This was while the swindler was on her way to other sil house to pick up a blank check to take to the convelesent hospital and have fil sign it for again another trip to the lawyer. This time this was bull, on Saturday night when she just got $40 cash earlier that day. Well my fil told my sil to not give her the check. That is the last we heard last night. Needless to say this family is stressing me out. I am so glad I do not live down there.
I have to go log my food and read the forums, missed you all the last couple days.

I can relate! My family............UGH! Well let's just say it's like a soap opera. It's crazy. Know matter how much you do, it's never good enough. I believe that we need to let go and let God! Sometimes we need to realize that some people don't want to change and we can't make them change. So I say, you take care of you. The stronger and healthier you are the better you will be for your children and husband. Let God take care of the rest.

Have a super day

Kathy, the hardest thing I ever did was back out of the lives of my in-laws. I was always the bad guy even when I tried my hardest to help. Trying to keep my BIL from jail, losing his wife and family, etc. It's VERY hard to sit by and watch people hurt themselves. But I learned through a lot of pain that sometimes, that's exactly what you have to do. I know that if your FIL is sick, then your husband has a certain responsibility to his father and siblings. However, for both of you, your own immediately family...each other and your children should take precidence over everyone else. Even if it hurts feelings. So you hang in there GF and let's try thinking of this healthy lifestyle thing as a REWARD for ourselves...as taking care of ourselves which we also have a responsibility to do. This is something you do for YOU. It's OKAY to say NO and it's OKAY to be a little selfish and say that you need YOU time. Enjoy your day and do what you can for your husband and children, but let the mess with the in-laws go. Let your husband battle that out. You take good care of you so you can take care of him and your kids.

Wow, I sure hope things get straightened out soon with that woman and your son gets straightened up and behaves himself. Take care of yourself in the meantime because it sounds like you will need your strength.

71 degrees sounds wonderful! I am sorry that you have had such a tough time with your family. It is good that you are taking care of you. Watching shows on TiVo relaxes me, too.

Kathy, the fact that you still can go to work and only took one day off after that fiasco is astounding. I would truly be physically ill, emotionally drained, and brain-dead after dealing with all of that. Hugs sweetie.....these people have some serious issues. :I would let the SIL and FIL and girlfriend fight it out. You take care of issues with you son and take care of you.
