What am I Doing Wrong???

Well this is my think piece of the week, and I'm apologizing ahead of time as I am not putting my all into it, since I am so tired!!

I have been hearing ALOT of moaning and groaning on TV, in real life and in movies, online etc... about Mother In Laws from hell! YIKES! So I guess my question is what am I doing wrong? hahaha! I really like mine. She's really sweet, loves her son (my husband) and minds her own business! hahaha :) Really! She's nothing like these nightmares I read about. I was wondering if there is a verrrrry small minority of us that actually like thier MILs???

I will admit that I don't call her mom though! Does that make me wierd??? I just feel odd about it. I have a mom and I love my mom so much, that I just can't add on another one. Know what I mean? My mom is an amazing woman who sacraficed a lot to make me who I am today (bitchy and mean ;) ) and I appreciate her for everything, and well there just is no other mom like her. I know it's not a replacement or anything like that, but it's just wierd to me. I've been married 3 years and nothing has changed in that department.

I have seen people that call their Inlaws mom and dad before they are even married!! YIKES! That kind of creeeps me out! hahaha!!! Like I said I march to a different beat, so I could totally be alone here.

I do call my husbands grandmother Grandma though. It feels right. I think it's because I lost my best friend grandma when I was 18 at a crucial point in my life and I miss her every minute of every day still. I have another grandma, who is just too far away in another country and I don't see her nearly as often as I wish...So maybe just maybe I wish husbands grandma were really mine?? I like her so much and she's the greatest. A replacement?? Maybe not, because I still think about my real grandma, but at least she's here and I can hug her :) Ahh...now i'm getting all sappy and that's not me!

Another thing I'm doing wrong is the whole 'family' insanity thing! There is just not enough time in the weekends I SWEAR! we have so much going on it's crazy. I feel that there is only so much we can do right now and everyone is barking down our throats about seeing their 'grandkids' blahhh...

Peeps you gotta realize we have lives too and just because you have a free day does NOT mean our day is free too! I only hope these people realize that with 3 kids we will be leaving home even less often!!!! It's hard enough as it is.

So sorry guys, but if you want to see us, I SWEAR I just travelled on it yesterday! The highway DOES extend this way!!! Can you believe it!!!!! But now if only our schedule freed up!! ;) We already skipped one of my daughters classes this week, to steal away for our family time, and I feel bad, so we have to stay on top of that!!!

Whoa, this is alot longer than I anticipated it being! Sorry!!!!!


Night!!
