Back from Vacation
Hi girls! I was lurking while I was down the beach but its such a PITA to reply from my phone anymore.
I'm really glad that we were able to go from the funeral to vacation. I'm in a much better place mentally now.
*~*~*Warning I'm about to sound like a spoiled brat*~*~*~
That being said I hope and pray that I can convince B that we need to rent our own place next year. I love his family and his parents are super generous to us, but I just feel like I never get to truly relax. Their place is a 2 bedroom trailer. We got down there Sat night and had the back bedroom. Then my BIL and his GF came down. Well we got bumped to the air matress in the living room so that they could have the bed room the 4 days we were down!!! WTF?!?! We are the married ones and they get the bedroom??? My MILs logic was that we would have the bedroom Sat, Thurs, Fri and Sat so we got 4 days in the bedroom too. Um, so we get punished b/c we could get off a whole week and they couldnt???? Well B never slept on the air mattress with me. He slept on the couch. NICE! I like to sleep in on vacation (9-10am). Well you can't do that in a living room that doesnt have blinds and when people start coming in the trailer at 7am.
Then they insist on cooking dinner every night. We dont cook dinner every night at home. I know they are trying to save us money, but its a huge PITA to me. Then heaven forbid you want to skip dinner to go out for dinner. They make you feel awful.
I shouldn't complain, but I just start to enjoy vacation with them less and less every year. Its the same *** and drama. I can set me watch to the arguments and issues that are going to happen. Ok Ill stop complaining about getting to go on vacation now.
Re: Back from Vacation
Thanks so much girls!! There was so much more drama I didn't even go into. I told my friends at work today and they all agreed and said their was no way they could have gotten through the week.
I can't wait for girls weekend down the beach!!
