Friday was pretty boring. We went out dinner, but that was about it. The kiddo was in trouble for acting like a fool at school while they had a sub, so he went to bed before 9pm.
Saturday, we went to the kiddo's game. My IL's came and then we went out to lunch. My IL's took the kiddo home with them because my HS reunion was Sat. night. We then went to hospital to visit a friend of DH's who was in a pretty serious motorcycle accident over Labor Day. An RV pulled out in front of her, she tried to brake in time, but she clipped the front end of it and then it ran her over. She's all sorts of jacked up. She broke her back, her pelvis is out of line, broken ribs, shattered ankle, and the list goes on. She's going to be in the hospital for another 2-3 weeks and then in a rehab facility for at least a month. The guy in the RV tried to say it was her fault because she was going too fast (she was driving 30 mph) and then he tried to drive away. They stopped him and got him to stay until the cops came and they have a police report, so hopefully they won't have too much of a legal fight to get his insurance to cover her medical bills.
We went home and then went to my reunion. It was...OK. I probably will not go to subsequent reunions unless my SIL (who graduated with me) or my guy BFF (who's at Harvard for grad school) were to go. We only stayed 2 hours. I had some good conversations, but overall, it was pretty meh. One girl pissed me off because she kept going on and on about A and how she always wondered how she was doing and was just so broken up about her death. I wanted to scream at her that A's mom had lived in the same place for about 20 years or so and the number hasn't changed, so she could have found her. So don't you tell ME about how you wished things could have been different.
We stayed at the reunion about 2 hours and then we went to see "The Town". It was pretty good.
Yesterday, DH went to work. I spent the whole day by myself at home. I went to breakfast at Panera, and then grocery shopping. When I got home, I took a nap and then cleaned up the house. I then baked cookies and got ready for my IL's to come over for dinner and the game. We had a good time. They left before the end and DH and I went to bed semi-on time.
My WDWWT?
I talked to my sister about A's memorial last week. I told her it's this Sat. My sister's 30th b-day is on Thursday. Sis and her BFF turn 30 on Thursday. Her and BIL were planning to go to Chicago this coming weekend to celebrate and my parents were going to watch nephew. My sister asked me if I wanted her at A's memorial. I told her it would be nice if she could be there. That's all I said.
My dad calls last night as I'm trying to put dinner on the table (not to mention my IL's are there). He starts in on me about "How important is it that your sister be at the memorial?" I told him that I couldn't talk about it right then and I'd call him back. He called me back like an hour later and then my mom's harassing me on FB to call my dad back. I told my mom that my IL's were at my house and I couldn't talk and I'd call them today.
I'm a little upset that a) my sister's not calling me and b) my parents are asking me to choose. The only thought I have on a) is that BIL has something planned that my sister doesn't know about and he called my parents (instead of me) to intervene.
This is a very tough thing for me and I'd like my family to be there. They knew A just as long as I did and they loved her. She spent time at their home while were in HS, she was in my wedding and spent a lot of time with my sisters/family in the process of that, she's always come to every party and/or even I've hosted at my house and my parents have been there.
But on the other hand, if they feel they can't make it, whatever. But don't make me choose.
DH is PISSED. He really wants to call and tell my dad that this is BS and that they just need to decide and leave me out of it. I need to call my parents on my break this morning.
IDK...It all makes me want to cry. WDWWT?
