Why hello, Monday

How was the weekend? 

We survived the mall Friday.  I was polite to the boy twice 6let's size that shoved him down the slide.  I gently moved another boy's hands off of M2.  The last straw was when 2 crazycakes boys came inches from crashing down on Max who was happily playing on the bench. 

Saturday I was a good DIL.  We had a nice lunch with MIL and sFIL.  I did get a little short when Max was crying and MIL kept saying it was hunger.  No.  It's not always hunger or gas.  Sometimes he just doesn't want to play her games.

Sunday was a nice visit with my parents.  I felt terrible for my mom.  Her neck is all sorts of messed up.  They said it was basically severe whiplash.  She can't turn her head or bend over. It was killing her to not be able to get on the floor and play or hold baby.

and I'm pulling out my judgey pants.  FIL was morbidly obese.  Like, couldn't even rent a tux for our wedding obese.  They stopped traveling anywhere that required flying and stopped going to movies and sporting events because the seats weren't comfortable.  He tried fad diets and it didn't work so he had gastric bypass.  He lost a lot of weight then had a tummy tuck.  They started traveling and doing things again. 

Within the past year he's put on a significant amount of wt.  He's back to wearing nothing but sweatpants and the trips to the movies are dwindling.  They've talked about postponing their next cruise. 

I have a hard time not judging both of them right now.  MIL prepares all of the meals at home.  They are all processed.  Yes, FIL could make his own meals, but it's not what he's ever done and she's retired.  She also doesn't cook several nights in a row so they end up going out. 

On the flip side he's letting himelf go again.  Right after surgery he could only eat very small meals, but he never made healthy choices.  We went to lunch Saturday and he had an appetizer and a pizza.  Then came back to the house and had a cookie an a mini cupcake. It's clearly not a just a once in awhile thing. 

They aren't that old and it's affecting their quality of life.

Wow.  I can't imagine having a loved one go through a surgery like that and then not keep it up.  That's such a big decision and it seems like he/they just didn't take it seriously.  I bet he's the type to blame the surgery for not working.

Our weekend was very nice.  We did our usual Friday stuff and I had a great shopping trip at Target (saved $24 with coupons and my redcard).

Saturday my parents took us out to lunch.  They came up to our city for an overnight stay on Friday in a nice hotel for their 38th anniversary and then they were going to visit my grandma on their way home.  My brother came up and joined us for lunch and visited grandma with my parents.

Yesterday we didn't do much.  We got groceries and then hung out at home the rest of the day.

Ugh 6.  Sorry about your mom.    And MIL and FIL are ridiculous.   I'd have a hard time not being judgy about that.

Our weekend was good.  The kiddo and the gf are back together. Oh the drama of being a preteen.  We took the kiddo and his friend ice skating on Friday.  DH, DefConn, and I went shopping during ice skating time. 

When we went to pick up the kiddo, he was taking for-ev-er to come out so I finally went in to snag him and his friend.  We're walking out and I thought it was just the kiddo and his friend with me and I said, "So did your ladies show up tonight?"  Turns out the kiddo's gf was with him and his friend was trailing behind us because he got caught in traffic at the door.  The kiddo was uber-embarrassed.  Oops, lol.   When they parted they did the most awkward half-hug.  It made me giggle. 

Saturday, I had to work.  The kiddo's bball tourney started for the end fo the season.  They won their first game and lost their second.  We went out to dinner with some friends and then headed to a burlesque club/show, which was way fun.  We definitely want to go back and do that again. 

Sunday, up early to get the kids from my sister.  Came home and I went to the store.  DefConn, DH, and I ended up taking late afternoon naps on the living room couches.  It was pretty much a  low-key day.  Being 21+10 and staying out late makes for a long day the next one.

Saturday, I went over to HMo's house and figured out where I could hide her body after I made her skin suit.  We have lunch with Mr. Mo and Baby Mo.  Baby Mo is adorable and awesome.  He totally threw a piece of melon at me and laughed, which made me laugh (and was probably the wrong reaction, lol).

Then we went to dinner and saw Book of Mormon.  I don't think I've ever laughed so hard in my life.

Sunday was a lazy Sunday.  Morning sickness is in full force.  I have no appetite and I just can't eat anything.  I'm only down 10.5 pounds so far...

It's OK to laugh if it's not your kid, Ali.   

And it looks like you're going to meet the whole Conn family.  I thought it was just going to be DH and me, but I think we're bringing the kids now.   

JealousE that you went to Book of Mormon.  Boo to morning sickness.

Weekend was exhausting. I spent 18 hours with GayH on Saturday, and it's a miracle I didn't kill him. He's so manic and everything is REALLY 'EXCITING and that's great for a couple hours at a time, but not for 18 straight. Add in TheTenor and it gets even worse. I've decided Santa Fe will require me to bring my own car, and I will have all the luggage in it. That's it, just luggage and silence for 6 hours. It'll be glorious. 

But! TheTenor's opera was good - Die Fledermaus, a comedy - and while we thought he did excellently in his competition, he didn't get a call back for the finals, so . 

Sunday was church. I got to sing 2nd alto on one piece, too, which was a nice change of pace. I came home after the morning masses and went right to sleep; I got up for Vespers and went to the bank and drove around for a little while, decompressing from people. Then it was dinner and sex and back to sleep. I feel very rested after my 10 hours last night.

Spent Saturday at my mom's going through stuff. She treated me to the first pedicure I've had since I was pregnant.

Sunday was spent with DD. Ran some errands, did some chores. Then I worked on the birthday present for our babysitter. Her birthday is on Wednesday and we're missing it because we'll be at the hospital by then. I got her an iTunes gc and I'm wood burning a decorative box for her. DD made her a card.

The weekend kinda sucks.  Today really sucks.

Our weekend was boring.  Got up early on Saturday to do laundry.  Dissolved the local chapter that we had tried to start, since there were no interested members.  Then went to a friends house and had a game day for a looooooooong time.

Sunday was nothing.  We sat around watching tv and reading all day.

Weekend was OOT at Atlanta...had a lot of fun, mama shopped a ton, wore DD out in the process ...we went to Georgia Aquarium, and I think it will be the last trip there for a long time. That mofo got expensive!! Even for an aquarium, which is never cheap. It all went to the lamest Vegas hooker showgirl dolphingasm dolphin show. With maybe 6 minutes of dolphins. And it had all the charm of an airport visit. Overcrowded, bag searched and wanded. I'm surprised 2 or more ounces of fluids were even allowed in.

i think people need mandatory couseling for a few sessions when they get gastric bypass. they might lose weight, but they don't get rid of the habits that made them obese in the first place.

boo to morning sickness, but i think the proper response IS to laugh when it is not your kid. what else could you do? throw fruit back? i think that is worse. 

weekend was good. we got some rearranging done.

Yay for some lazy weekends.  Jealous of the ali/mo get together.

Very sorry GB

Wz- he did have to go to counseling.  He also knew what to say.  Then he spent a week before surgery eating all of the things he'd "never get to eat again."
