MIL: We're almost there!
Me: Almost where?
MIL: To your house! We're at exit 30. (my exit is 4)
Me:What? I thought you weren't coming until tomorrow!
MIL: No, G[FIL] told you we were coming today, we left at noon.
Me: Fuck.
Okay, I checked my messenger, and this is the message my FIL gave me:
WE ARE AT THE END OF OUR WITS WITH HIM. WE WILL TRY AND LEAVE HERE AROUND 12 NOON. WE WILL CALL YOU WHEN WE LEAVE. LOVE G
Do you see any where in there where it said "Coming on Friday?" "Coming tomorrow?" No, I don't either.
So I did the DIL scramble. Hiding shit in corners, cleaning stuff that hasn't been cleaned in weeks and putting the porn away. (kidding about the last, our porn is carefully hidden already.)
Besides that, I got to go to the gym again today. For some reason, I was pumped. I flew through my workout, high on endorphins. It was probably the best workout I've had in a while.
Until I stepped on the scale.
I knew when Andrea was here I was eating too much junk. Since I left her house nearly 2 weeks ago, I've gained 5 lbs. That puts be back really bad. For the next six weeks, I can't slack off. Doesn't help that the MIL wants all of us to go to Splashtown when Nick gets home. I CANNOT look like a whale in my butterfly/black swimsuit! I just can't. So it's exercising and dieting to the extreme. The only think I'll drink for the next 6 weeks is water and the occasional gatorade when I get my workout headaches. No junk food, no sweets, nothing that makes me happy. No Fast Food. It's all evil.
Aaron came home today, that's why the in-laws were visiting. Dropping his butt off. They just can't hang. He comes running in the house with a spatula. The story is that one day while helping gramma with the dishes, he dried a spatula and it looked like the one Spongebob uses, and he begged her for it. The MIL, of course, gave in. So now, my son's new favorite toy is a silver spatula.
He's going through a Nemo phase. He's obsessed with the movie. Wants to watch it all the time. I keep buying copies because he keeps screwing them up. I finally got smart though. I downloaded it to iTunes. I'm going to burn a copy and let him keep it in his DVD player until it's so scratched up it can't be used anymore then burn it again. That'll save me a few bucks.
