My weekend highlights - LONG
Aside from the "you look pregnant" and "don't let Wendi drink" comments, I have these gems to remember my weekend with my parents:
They took pictures of the kids. As they were reviewing them WITH the kids, my dad said "Oh, this one's got your mom's fat @ss in it."
My mother told my son that he needed to dump his girlfriend b/c they don't have a computer. Said that he should look to MARRY someone who's a "class up" from him, and that he should therefore be dating the daughter of a senator or congressman. The kid's 16. I told him to date whoever makes him happy. My mother replied, "Your mom didn't follow my advice, either, and look who she's married to."
They brought the girls lunch at the convention today. They called when they got there, I told them class was just ending and we'd meet them in X spot. As we were walking over to that part of the hotel, the girls ran in to their old dance teacher and kids they used to dance with. The teacher had her arms around the girls talking to them when my dad walked up. I said we'll be right there, he then grabbed Carri's arm and said "Come eat your lunch." I said "Dad, they're talking to someone, we will be right over." and he said "well, yes ma'am." He then spent the entire hour playing with his cell phone and not talking to any of us.
My FAVE - my sister came over this afternoon when we got home. She asked me how I was feeling. I said, "Like I've been cut open." My mom said,"Well, you weren't really, so you should stop whining." My sister and I looked at her in complete disbelief and asked her how she thought they removed my gall bladder without cutting me. She said "well, they do that lap-y thing, so you don't get cut open." 
My sister said, "Mom, they didn't wave a magic wand over her stomach. They make 5 smaller cuts and insert a camera, so they don't have to make 1 big cut." At which point my dad joins in with, "Oh, I didn't realize they took the whole thing out, I thought they just sucked out the gallstones."
I am so glad to be home. My mom invited herself here the weekend before Christmas, since we're going to Iowa for Christmas. She told me to make her reservations, I told her she could look up holidayinn.com just as well as I could.

Good God woman I am glad you are home so I know you have to be relieved.
Well isn't that special. Your mom is just FULL of insight, isn't she? Hope you continue to recover quickly.
I swear, Wendi, I seriously hope you got some rest and all...
Wow. And here, thought it was just your mom. Amazing...
Ditto.
Jeez, Wendi, I don't know how you do it. If my parents were like that I swear I would keep contact with them very limited. I feel for you for that Christmas imposed trip. I hope they're better then
Now go get some rest!! You more than deserve it
Ditto these two Ladies. I don't know how you do it!
Ditto this and everything else that's been said. Wowza, that's quite ridiculous. I really don't know how you can put up with it. I don't think I'd even make my house available for the holidays after all that. Geez. Definitely go rest!
Your.Parents.Suck.
And we love you, girly! I hope you're feeling better soon!
