Easter and stuff :D

So, I feel compelled to write about our Easter. It was fun, but very hectic and I am glad to be home! Friday we had some friends out. This happens every other week most of the time, but lately it has been every week. They came out and we had a few drinks and laughs. They left about 2 and we went to bed about 4. We got up at 8 on Saturday to head to the parents house. We got there, had to do some hauling for my dad, then took the kids on an Easter scavenger hunt (they are both too old for Easter egg hunts). We went back to the parents, rested for a while, had dinner, then went to dh's cousin's house. This was an interesting visit. He is a very difficult man to get along with at the best of times as he has a very low view of women in general, and especially his wife. Anyway, we left there at 11:30, went back to parents and did Easter baskets, got up Sunday, hid eggs (for the last time, unless we have another one!), loaded about a zillion decorative bricks in our truck, ate lunch, came home, PASSED OUT! :D

So my dh got up this morning with the idea of getting all the bricks unloaded, but it was raining and icky, so that will obviously have to wait. He is not very happy about this, but it is life. The kids are on spring break and driving me insane. My teenager told me in no uncertain terms that I don't care about her and her life, I am a terrible mom, and on and on. The problem is, she is 16 and wants to get a job. Okay, I get that, but she doesn't have her license! I cannot be responsible for her every day this summer, and until she drives better, and is closer to getting her license, NO JOB!

So, for me, it is a great thing that the kids go back to school tomorrow. I am exhausted!

Ex-families, drama, etc.

So, this is not a weight related post, though there will be an update at the end :D

How do you relate to an ex's family who you haven't spoken to in 6 years without discussing the ex? See, I have a son who VERY rarely (every 2-3 years) sees or speaks to his dad. Well, he is almost 11, and so I was playing on facebook and found his grandpa, and thought (in my stupid, slow brain) that it would be a great idea to talk to him again. Now here is the question, what do you say? He made a comment on his facebook before I found him that he has lots of other grandkids but no recent pictures. I know that my ex has a picture of him from Christmas 2007, so do they just not talk, how do you find this stuff out?

On another drama front, my middle son hates me! He went to live with his dad about a year ago and he wanted to come down for spring break, well it is an 9 hour drive one way. So I told his dad 2 weeks in advance that we could meet halfway on Friday or Saturday. On Thursday his wife calls my dad to change plans. WTF? Really? So I spent all weekend trying to work out a way to go get him in between work schedules, visitations, etc. and no matter what I did his dad wouldn't do it. SOOOO its my fault. Gotta love it!

Anyway, on the weight loss front, I have not weighed this week cuz its, ya know, that time. However, I was steady at 244 last time I weighed about a week ago! So that takes off all the funeral weight and stuff because I got lazy. I also purchased Hip Hop Abs from the internet because my husband and daughter think that would be a great purchase, so we shall see. It should be here by this weekend, which means I start on Monday because I will be out of town before that....

That's all from the funny farm.
