Holiday Fun

Seems the M-I-L doesn't think I spend enough time cowtowing to her. I don't have the time or inclination really. So she has resorted to trickery. Yep. She is using my child to trap me into spending time with her. She is using my boy to guilt me into dropping everything in order to attend to her every whim.

I call it the Holiday trap. The holidays are a good excuse for her to lure me in so that she can force me to play nice with the relatives. I won't, however, be drawn in by her wiles. Nay, I shall thwart her wiles . . . because seriously - you see a wile, you thwart - am I right?

Anyway, the Holidays should be entertaining. I feel a migraine coming on. A two month-long migraine ending with a New Year's resolution to spend less time with my in-laws, and more time with a good book and a bottle of wine. Wheeeeee!!!

You know...my birth family's enough for me, just in small doses. One mother is vindictive and manipulative enough.

A future family in law? It's no small part of me that thinks "screw that..."

Ex-Lax in her coffee, trust me.

Never hurts to thwart a wile is what I always say! Keep thwarting, Oddy! ;)

My relatives require stronger stuff than wine.

There's only one team worth rooting for.

Go Navy!
