When we moved to this too much–too far house, we put in a 6 foot high board fence because our neighbors are not desirable and they were constantly gawking over here to see what we are doing. You would think a 6 foot high fence would cure that problem but apparently not so much!

Yesterday we bought a new washing machine and left it outside for the night still boxed and covered with a tarp because we didn’t want to deal with it until today.

My husband JUST took the old washer outside and loaded it on the trailer to haul away and the neighbor showed up around the fence asking if the old washer worked and wanting to know if they could buy it because their washing machine just died.

HOLY CRAP! I need a taller fence!

As a side note–we told them they could have our old washer. It still works but it’s no the greatest any more. We were just taking it to be disposed of any way so what the hell.

Since mememe has been gone that has meant that my sister-in-law had to take care of her own kid. I’m sure I’ve mentioned before that memememe takes care of the kid for nothing 5-6 days a week (and sometimes Sunday too) as well as buy all his diapers and got knows what else.

Well, once meme announced that she was going to be gone for 2 weeks, my sister-in-law THREW A FIT about how she wasn’t going to waste her vacation to stay home with her son! As it has turned out, she did end up staying home a few days with him; however, she did also take him to a day care for a few days too. I talked to meme junior yesterday and she went on and on about how it cost $30 a day to take him to day care and how that money would pay a payment on something and on and on.

OH MY GOD!

As someone who was never able to have children (though I didn’t necessarily want any), I just cannot fathom the attitude. If I would have been lucky enough to have a child, I just do not think I’d feel that #1 my vacation time would be wasted if I spent it with my little one; #2 that the cost of day care wasn’t worth it because I could pay a payment on some toy for myself; and #3 that leaving him with my mother-in-law would be preferable to either of the other 2 options.

After I hung up with my sister-in-law and replayed the conversation in my head I realized, the selfish apple sure doesn’t fall far from the selfish tree in that family! Cripes!

Well isn’t this just a fucking hoot?!

My husband’s sister called me today asking me to take care of mememememememes dog Friday night and Saturday because she is going camping and mommy dearest won’t be back from her cruise.

I *should* have said FUCK NO but I said I would, idiot that I am.

**UPDATE**
I didn’t end up doing this–mememememememe made it back!

HOLY SHIT!

I guess I’m misinformed or if I’m not someone else seriously is.

Today in the local gas station there was an agenda laying on the counter for a special school board meeting. I picked it up when I noticed that item 1 on the agenda is Pledge of Allegiance.

WTF?! Is that even legal?

You know you play Guild Wars too much when you are sitting in the McDonald’s drive up and notice the license plate of the vehicle in front of you is BDS-479 and immediately think Bone Dragon Staff.

Just sayin…..

Oh where to start! It’s about mememememememememe so it should be no shock that I am not fucking happy.

While I was in the hospital she came to our house and fed our cats and dogs, which was very nice of her to do. I offered to pay her for coming over (an 8 mile round trip) and she said no and it was left at that. I thanked her for taking care of the pets and also sent her a thank you card.

Fast Forward…..
Next week (and I hope she gets lost and never fucking comes back!) memememememe and new man are going on a cruise (LOLOLOL–talk about a fish out of water tactless cow) so she asked me if I would take care of her dog and birds while she is gone. I told her I didn’t think it was very nice for her dog to only be let out only a couple times a day and asked about her putting him outside since she has an outdoor kennel. She said he would be ok only being let out a couple times a day so I said ok, no problem (since I owe her anyway). I asked her about feeding the birds and she said they only needed fed every other day and I said that’s fine, you’ll have to show me what to do–I don’t DO birds (meaning I don’t like house birds) and asked about cleaning their cages while she is gone and she said they wouldn’t need to be cleaned. As we left it, she was going to give me a key and I was going to go and care for her animals.

The day after she called asking me this, she called back and told my husband (MR. NOBALLS) that I wouldn’t need to do it, she’d asked her son-in-law to do it because he goes right past her house every day.

I don’t CARE that I was kicked off pet duty but I didn’t know why she went and asked him to do what I was already going to do. After stewing on this for a couple days, I called my sister-in-law and asked her why her husband was going to taking care of the dog instead of me and she tried to get a little pissy with me and asked “do you really want to go into this”? I say yes–what’s the deal. Well, memememememe went and told them that I WOULDN’T do it. PISS ME OFF–that’s such a fucking lie.

What I said I wouldn’t do was bring her dog to my house and have him outside with my other dogs, I never said I wouldn’t care for him at her house but as usual, when she doesn’t get what she wants she runs telling lies to play the martyr.

Last night I talked to my other sister-in-law and got the same story about caring for the pets only this time memememe told her that she could tell in my voice that I didn’t want to do and that I said I wouldn’t do the birds!

Immediately, I am more pissed off than I was before about the situation and though I am trying to take into account “consider the source” I know that the “source” is consequently telling anyone she talks to how I won’t take care of her animals and all this after she took care of mine while I was in the hospital. She also went on to tell both sister-in-laws how she does everything for other people and no one will do anything for her. First off, she doesn’t ask–she demands–that hits a brick wall with her kids (and kids-in-law) so they don’t tend to run when mommy snaps her fingers and if it isn’t done RIGHT NOW then she finds another way to get it done RIGHT NOW even if it includes dragging her family through the mud to whomever she whines into doing it for her.

Last night, I talked to MR. NOBALLS (my husband) and gave him the standard speech–if you don’t talk to you mother about this I will and if I do–you won’t like it and neither will she.

Now, seeing he has the name MR NOBALLS how do you suppose that went?!

I asked him today if he called his mother and he said no, you’re going to call her and talk to her about it. I said, NO, MR. NOBALLS I’m not! He then said it had nothing to do with him. BIG MISTAKE! I said STICK UP FOR YOUR WIFE MR. NOBALLS! He just said well, you know how mom is, this is what she does. I said BULLSHIT–if people would quit accepting that from her and call her on her lie telling maybe she’d fucking quit it.

Needless to say, he isn’t going to do anything about it and I call her it will be an endless unload because god knows there’s a boatload of things I’ve been waiting years to say to her!

Only have 1 or 2 friends, you’d think that I would want to keep them right. Yeah–not so much though. I have one “friend” that I am particularly tired of. I’m tired of her snide remarks, tired of her questioning anything I do, etc. It’s just old and played out.

Mind you, this is the same person who feels the need to go tell others when she “hears” their spouse is having an affair yet she herself is having an affair with a married man. Isn’t it funny how that works though.

Today I started distancing myself from her because quite frankly, if I don’t, she won’t like what I am going to say to her and she’s really not worth all the breath it would take tell her off!
