No Wait, I'm a Saint

Thank you everyone who posted such kind, positive and sneaky comments yesterday after my vent about the houseguests. My mother read the post and has emailed her outrage and invitation for the kids and I to stay, so if it gets too bad we will do that.

I never should have said they could come. That's why I feel bitchy about it. Do you think saying, "I didn't realize how annoying you'd be," would be offensive to them?

Do you all mind if I share some more?

Too bad.

Last night Hubby had a play reading in the city. Because he is the cook in the family, I planned on making grilled cheese for the kids, assuming Sam and Celia would want to go into the city with Hubby. But no, Hubby says that Sam said that would be too expensive. They'll be staying here. But Sam is going to make spaghetti for everyone. (nevermind that my kids don't actually eat spaghetti).

Except that Sam and Celia slept until 7:30pm, so I made grilled cheese for the kids and myself. Then, as I was putting the kids to bed, they had a romantic dinner - after rearranging my dining room. Although I do give them points for cleaning it up (although, you know, not that way I like it).

Anyway, today Sam wants us all to go to the mall. He'll buy us all lunch there, but the city was too expensive yesterday? Really? Because I would rather have them out of my way than buying us lunch.

And did I mention that Celia has poreless skin (whereas I am currently in hormone hell) and is a size 0.

OMG!!!!! I am dying here! I seriously would be flipping out!!!! They slept until 7:30!!!! I hope you didn't tiptoe around the house all day. I would have insisted the boys be as loud as possible. I know, I'm a bitch. I can't help it!

Yes, perhaps you should go to your mom's house. I just can't imagine how pissed I would be. I really feel for you.
Vent as much as you want. You deserve it!

Make a big, huge batch of cookies and muffins full of butter and lard as a "welcome" to them and leave it in their room. More specifically, give the basket to Celia and encourage her to eat as much as possible. ;)

Poreless skin? That's just rubbing salt in a wound. My skin would probably look better if I could sleep in until 7:30, too.

They rearranged your dining room? And slept until 7:30?
That would piss me off.

Yay for your mom! I'd be on my way to her house already if I were you! This really is a huge imposition. I hope it gets better.

Are you ...... Is this ...... You aren't serious? You can't be! Can you? I can't believe you're putting up with all this. My advice is to offer Sam and Celia and her size zero ass a tent in the backyard. If they don't like it they can hit the road. And if yourhusband has an issue with that I would tell them he's welcomed to join them. Seriously girl, I'm angry on your behalf here.

Zero and poreless... they'd be so out of there! :-)

Size 0 ? really ? Uh yeah, they'd have to get the hell outta my house. Like yesterday.

I don't think that I could tolerate my most beloved family members, much less strangers, for two weeks! And, I'm not even pregnant!
