my hubby got me a beautiful wooden sculpture made by a local artist and cards from him and my son. and that was the good part! :-) then i also got something of a flea infestation and a case of severe hatred for sy son's pediatric clinic. it's been an emotional rollercoaster of a day. anyways....i hope your day was wonderful! :-)

A few years ago at my old house we got a sudden infestation of ticks. That was soooooooooooooooo much worse than the fleas. We had four dogs - one of them hairy - and had to pick ticks off one by one.

But pests like that are nasty no matter what.

My husband got me an elliptical. My son's school had a program where they invited all the moms and sang us songs. During one of the songs, they all went into the audience and brought us some handmade "treasure boxes" that had their picture in them. He also gave me coupons for breakfast in bed (one use only-sadly) and hugs (I am taking as many of them as I want, thank you very much). Both of my kids were going to give me plants, but I got a bath set that smells like chocolate instead. And my hubby surprised me with a huge body shimmer brush that has a scented powder in it, and can be refilled. I've wanted one for a while now.

My mom got some lovely hydrangeas and my kids gave her goldfish. MIL got flowers and a phone call since we are too far away to be there in person. But she'll get a week with us very soon.

I have been vacuuming constantly today. I read on a message board thhat this can help.....and my hubby bought me a Dyson for our anniversary (not he's not a chauvinist, I have been lusting after one for a looong time!) which is supposed to have the best suction of any vacuum on the market......and they STILL pop out. Bastardi.

This was my first Mothers Day!!! : )
It was weird because it kind of made me feel weird. I always thoguht of "Mothers Day" being for my mom, never for myself. It never even dawned on me that I get a present too! So yesterday I got a beautiful silver necklas with a contemporary-style silver charm that holds my sons birthstone. It's so beautiful. I love jewelry so that's usually what I get. But i am horrible with anything besides rings! I lose it!

My MIL, who I don't get along with, got flowers. She complained about them. She always compalins about her presents. She said that she doesn't like yellow flowers and that she wanted Iris. Well we went looking for Iris and there wasn't any, so tough luck. Gosh, that woman drives me CRAZY!!

Oh, intricate girl - the bath set sound soooo good!

Yeah, my MIL is psyhco. I honestly, truly think she has a chemical imbalance. She's always doing the weirdest things. Sometimes I get so mad but I can look back at the incident and laugh. Like when I found out I was pregant with my son, we told her.

She said, "Well do you plan to KEEP it?"

Hubby and I were like, "Uh...YEAH!"

She says, "Well you're both so young!"
(FYI - I'm 25, he's 24)

Then she says "Well what are you going to name THE THING?"

Hubby says, "We were thinking Luke"

MIL says, "Oh, that's AWFUL! Why don't you name him something from the Bible!"

*********
So I am totally used to her evil ways. She loves drama. She loves to create drama. I couldn't imagine ever complaining to my children that my Mothers Day gift isn't good enough!

"MIL says, 'Oh, that's AWFUL! Why don't you name him something from the Bible!'"

Ok, I know it's been a while since I've been to church, but when did they change the names of the gospel? Matthew, Mark, Clyde(?), and John. lol

Yeah, that's too funny isn't it?! She's so busy trying to put people down that she makes an ass out of herself! Matthew, Mark, CLYDE & John - Hahahahahaha!!!! That made my day!

We told her (MIL) on mothers day about baby #2. Her only response was "So?"

Ok, I don;t know if you read the blog I wrote about her, well, I actually wrote two. But anyways, she RARELY sits. I try so hard to make sure my son sees her as little as possible. When he was 4 months old she was trying to feed him icecream with hot fudge!!!! She is just w-e-i-r-d. Hell, she puts the "w" in weird. MIL even plays games between her two grandchildren. She'll pick my son up and glare at er other grandchild, Jenny (3 yeards old) and say, "Luke's my Favorite!" or she'll give Jenny a toy infront of my son and tell her NOT TO SHARE!!! Oh, I get sooooo mad! I try not to go over there except for on holidays.

I keep my blogging private. The worst that could happen is that MY parents find it while surfing the net from thir home, but they hate MIL too.
Ironically, she IS married, and to the SWEETEST, nicest man in the world.
She is not on med's, but I truly think she needs help. Especially when she causes scenes at events, like OUR WEDDING!!! She's just freaking weird-o.
She's always been this way. Her entire life. I am still trying to figure out how my husband is so opposite his mother. He's quiet and shy, honest and loving.
The crazy part is, my mothers mom (my grandmother) has skytzophrenia (sp?), so I am accustomed to that kind of behavior. The difference is, my grandmother was never vicious or verbally abusive. She just did bizarre things. I don't know what illness my MIL may have, or even if she really does have one, but it makes me so mad sometimes I just cry cuz there's no way to fight it.

My parents and I always wonder that! Maybe after being married so long he's immune to it!
Oh, and she had Kurts brother when she was 50 years old! That is weird! His parents are older than my grandparents!
