kim22 I’m sorry about your grandma, you must be exhausted. How is she now? They admitted her but my sister said today she is better. She is able to talk on the phone now, last night she couldn't find words. She has these mini strokes so I'm assuming that's what was going on last night.

That's so unacceptable wedding . YH should definitely say something to his parents about the lack of communication. I hope O is better this morning snoopmommymom . Glad C's appointment went well yesterday guster , minus the long wait. Sorry about your grandma kim22.

kim22 I'm sending positive thoughts for your grandma. Are you going to have any downtime before the baby arrives?
guster , oh honey...you had me so impressed with your amazing sounding frittatas yesterday. And now soy sauce oatmeal. Woof.
nam2013 , it was either last year or the year before Maddie kept talking nonstop about wanting an expensive Cabbage Patch doll that you needed to buy a pet for too. She saw it in commercials and it was impossible to find anywhere. It seemed like something she'd lose interest in quickly. I decided not to get it and she mentioned it once Christmas morning and never again. I'm glad I didn't get it because I think it would be buried in the back of her closet.
wedding that's so messed up. Is your husband's brother the oldest or something? Not that it makes it okay, but for people that are old-fashioned that might make sense to them to contact him for everything and not burden the youngest. Either way, it's effed up.
I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who obsessively stalks the delivery tracking. I'm irrationally upset that something I ordered that originated in Colorado went to Kentucky before turning back to WA. Two items are coming over on shipments from China and I'm annoyed there are no updates on those...probably because they are in the middle of the Pacific.

Morning.
I had a cinnabon k-cup this morning, and it was not great. I'm also hangry from not eating anything this morning. I should go make my apple cinnamon oatmeal, but it's too close to lunch now.
M's shots went ok yesterday. He was so ready until after the first one, then he lost his shit. The nurse was quick, but he cried until they bought him a goody bag and by the time he left, he was smiling again.
Nothing but work and more christmas shopping today.

Lol, I bought a Barbie house for Evie! I always wanted one and my parents could never afford it.
It is crazy the idea these kids get for presents. But I'm also just happy Evie would actually talk to santa this year instead of crying. It's the little things! Same. If my hypothetical daughter asked for one, I'd go buy it that second just so I could play with it lol. My cousin had one but she was a mean child and wouldn't let me play with it. ) : I would too. I always wanted that Barbie house but my parents didn't have the money for it.

Oh that's super cute. Not as monstrous as I was anticipating. I loved Barbies...I hope C is interested someday. Also, just me or is that Ken kinda odd looking? I miss the Ken dolls of old...I also preferred when they just had the plastic molded hair.

I’m sorry wedding, that’s super frustrating. Hopefully YH is able to communicate to them that this is not acceptable.

flamingo, I agree that plastic hair Ken looks better. I have a large traditional doll house that's been stored in the corner of Cass' closet forever. I can't believe neither of the girls has ever looked or asked what's under the blanket. It needs some work--some trim and shingles need to be re-glued on, but otherwise it's in great shape. I have all the furniture and everything. Maybe in another year or two Cass will be old enough that I can give it to them.

kim22 I'm so sorry to hear about your grandmother. wedding I agree with everyone else, not cool. Whether it's because they're trying to "protect" y'all, or oblivious, or spiteful, IDK, but it's odd for sure and I'd be frustrated and hurt.

I wasn't around at all yesterday because I had that farm sanctuary trip and it was amazing. One of the best days of my life. I got to hug the cows and snuggle a turkey.
A very handsome emu, Earl, decided I was his girlfriend and kept wrapping his neck around me when I tried to walk away.
Now I need to rescue emus in addition to goats.
We got to meet their newest baby, Ferdinand (named after the bull in the movie coming out soon).

Earl the emu. He was rescued after some elementary school kids saw him running around and they called the police saying there was a dinosaur on the loose.

I spoke to SIL and got the scoop. Their communication has been lacking as well. FIL's heart attack was Thursday morning. DH texted with MIL Thursday afternoon and she didn't say anything. Friday evening SIL texted MIL to see how FIL was and MIL called her and let them know about the heart attack. So it wasn't unprompted, however I don't understand why she responded to DH's texts like everything was just fine. She did not tell SIL or BIL to communicate with us. They thought we knew. SIL texted MIL yesterday to see how FIL was doing and MIL said he was still having "issues" and not in rehab yet. The assumption is that it's blood pressure related but no one knows. DH is annoyed but kind of brushes it off, as he always does with his parents. He is going to call MIL though and find out what's up. SIL is as equally astounded/annoyed by the lack of communication, although they are at least getting some.

DH is the second child and has always been the "problem child". He had untreated dyslexia and ADHD, which caused a lot of behavior problems. As a teenager he was a serious drug addict in and out of institutions and jails. He has been sober 19 years, recognized nationally for his profession, and extremely accomplished but I still feel like his mom holds a grudge or something. I sure hold one against her for not getting him help when he was a child. But even before the drug stuff he was not favored. There are literally no pictures of him. When we got married my mom asked for some and had to get them from DH's aunt. There are tons of pics of his brother. There are other startling inequalities that DH brushes off as well. It's all very odd/sad/infuriating but it's also not my fight and DH doesn't want to get into it so I respect him.

wedding I hope your FIL is feeling better. Sounds like a complicated family situation! I would be upset as well... very odd that your H was texting with his mom right after the fact and she didn’t say anything.
