MILMonday

Making light of my situation of the in-laws living with us. This is all in fun (and theraputic for me!) AND maybe a little embellished. ;)

MIL has not spoken to me, acknowledged me, or stepped outside her door into my house since before Christmas. Sunday I host a work team event and she comes out, sits on her walker 3 feet from her door and just watches everyone. #Nosey, #hungry, or #wantedtobeseen ? Thoughts ?

I think I’m going to delete this account. I honestly can’t think of anything to say that isn’t laced with anger and resentment. I just want a #peaceful existence and a #happy home. #MIL #family

I thought last #Christmas was bad but #MIL managed to top it this year. No peace in our home this year.

Went to family dinner at a small restaurant. MIL ran into 4 tables, 6 chairs, and a gentleman with her scooter. The gentleman asked us to get her a set of bumpers and a bike horn. #smh #mil #noapologies #entitled #scooter #beep #bumper #Embarrassed

The in-laws are back. Nothing has changed. Hubby is out of town and MIL is unable to come out to dinner. It’s a pattern and it’s expected. #mil #predictable

We had a yard sale this weekend. MIL comes out at 7:30 am with Fanny pack full of change, looks at my hubby, and said Sorry I can’t help today. #yardsale, #Garagesale #MIL #fomo

MIL inadvertently texts my hubby that she would move back to her hometown in a heartbeat. It’s been 86,603 heartbeats… #MIL #hometown #textsavvy

While I’m doing dishes quietly tells her hubby to go get a bowl from their kitchen which she quickly fills with the remaining shrimp and hands it to him. I just look at her. She calmly asks if I wanted to save it for my hubby. Umm I guess not now.

Sometimes you just have to take it with a grain of salt. See comments for tonight’s dinner conversation. #Family #familydinner #MIL

MIL opens bowl - what’s in your fruit cocktail? Me- Shrimp MIL- oh, What’s the BBQ sauce on your beef? Me- Teriyaki Chicken #smh #TerribleCook

MIL: Hobby Lobby has too much Christmas items which I had to buy. FIL: I can fix that. MIL:What you won’t take me anymore? FIL:(smiles) MIL:I’ll drive my scooter. Me: (laughter) I’m videoing that#HobbyLobby #hobby #MIL #scooter

Let dog J out. J wants to play with MIL dog O. They aren’t allow because MIL thinks J will hurt O. They whine for each other through the door. MIL yells for FIL to make them stop. This startles J who barks making O bark making MIL bark and repeat.. #MIL #labrador

Things not said at dinner : How was your trip? Did you have a good time? Congratulations on renewing your vows. Happy Anniversary. #vegas #elvis #anniversary #Mil #dinner #renewlyweds #backtotherealworld #familycare

It has been brought to my attention that my tweets were missed. I’m out of town away from MIL but next week be ready, the tweets will be back. #MilMonday #vacation #Vegas #anniversary

[MILMonday @thethingsm52293]

MIL complains dog was barking at 7:15 am. I apologized. She says I knew you were sick and I thought something was wrong. I asked why she didn’t check on me then. “Well I was still in bed”. At least my dogs love me. #Labradors #MIL #virus #sickday #fever #onmyown

[MILMonday @thethingsm52293]

MIL tells me someone posted they were giving away herbs on our neighborhood Facebook page. She didn’t know who. The rest of the family just stares. #itwasme #gardening #herbs #garden #MIL #GardeningTwitter

[MILMonday @thethingsm52293]

Tonight’s convo. MIL- dinner is much better than last time you made it. ME- I made it exactly the same. MIL (argues) no this is better, more flavorful ME to self- should I tell her it IS the same exact meal as last time? #smh #leftovers #freezermeals #mil #milmondays #dinner

[MILMonday @thethingsm52293]

Part 2: I also bring home the chicken, mushroom Alfredo pasta. I know she doesn’t like Alfredo but the rest of us do. You can just elevate me to influencer status because I mentioned it was good and she actually tried it and LIKED it! #pasta #MIL #influencers #flavorful

Part 1: I make a pepperoni pizza and a cheese pizza from HEB. Instead of taking a slice of cheese pizza, she takes a pepperoni slice and removes the pepperoni before eating it. #pepperoni #pizzanight #HEB #MILMonday #Mil

MIL tells me she went to great granddaughter’s birthday party with McDonald’s for JUST her and FIL. Why? Because they were hungry and the partygoers weren’t eating until later. #McDonalds #MilMonday #MIL #FastFood #rude #birthdaygirl
