I need my weekend back!
MM is discussing mishaps of the weekend so I figured it would be more fun to post here. So anything happen that makes you want your weekend back?
Little back story. DH and I bought this bone for our dog. Our dog trainer said it's a tough bone that hopefully our little man can't destroy it.
Use your imagination and you can figure out why we think it's so funny.
Anyways, BIL arrived on Friday. He bought our dog a Nylabone that was bigger than he was because he thought it would be "funny" 
. DH shows him what kind of bones we usually buy him and showed him this stocking stuffer.
BIL: That looks like (insert term)! Hey Misa, did you buy this bone for little man or yourself?!?!
Me: 
Excuse me?!?!
On Saturday, DH takes his brother to show him Gillette Stadium (where the Patriots play) while I finish some Christmas shopping. When they get back, DH asks me if I want to take a trip up to Logan (the airport) area. Why you might ask?
BIL is thinking about asking for a transfer to Boston! I'm pretty sure if he does we're going to need to move! I'm hoping the COL is enough to make him reconsider, but I can't deal with less than 36 hours with him let alone him possibly living less than an hour away from us.
He also was making derogatory comments/cursing all weekend, was acting like a baby complaining he was cold when we went to a light show Saturday night (it was almost 50 degrees out and we were out with our neighbors), would completely ignore things we told him (ie. "leave the dog alone", "BIL leave him alone!", "What don't you understand about what we just said, leave him alone!"), etc. I need my weekend back so I can do a re-do!
Re: I need my weekend back!
I don't envy your weekend, Misa. Hopefully the complaining about the cold will make him less motivated about moving to Boston too. I have to say, the friends/family that live further away from me see me more than those who live down the street. I think it has to do with planning time together more so than distance. BFF lives an hour away and we find a way to see each other about once a week. SIL/BIL live 10 minutes away and we see them maybe once a month unless we run into them at a grocery store. Maybe the same would apply if he does indeed move closer.
I don't know that I would call my weekend one with mishaps,but I sure with there would have been a bit more of a fire under DH's booty about getting our stuff back into the house. I keep asking him to bring boxes back inside so that I can put it all back, but he gets "tired" and "forgets."
It's funny. We've totally switched rolls. Usually I could care less about the messy garage and right now, I can't handle it. DH went crazy nuts when I moved in and the garage was full of boxes, but now he seems totally unfazed.
Wow your BIL is quite the character. lol Like spcecadet said, maybe the cold will deter him from wanting to move down there. Just make sure you mention everytime you talk to him that it's 15 degrees and there was 5 feet of snow the night before. lol
The only mishap I can think of is me, DH and one of his coworkers all went to the coworker's church to watch a Christmas play and they were drunk. I was SO embarrassed because when DH gets drunk, he gets a little too friendly, a little too loud and says stupid stuff. There were quite a few times I wanted to slap him but figured that would be frowned upon in the church as well.
BIL needs a swift kick in the butt!
I just want more weekend rather than the weekend back. I need to finish Christmas shopping, do some more writing for my philanthropic group, and read this book for work. At least DH loves me and cleaned the apartment today!!! =]
