Wedding Video from HELLLLLLLL

To start, I want to wish everyone a Happy Healthy, Loving New Years. It’s been a while since I worte, but since our trip to Ca, I have been sick twice, with bad colds, spained an ankle when I fell down the stairs, and have had ongoing stomach issues resulting from my hiatal hernia. Thye are now going to do another endoscopy on Tues morning becasue now the doctor thinks I may have a bleeding ulcer……ughhhhh

I also had issues with my computer (couldn’t get an internet connection and I was just not comfortable using my husbands computer to write an entry on. So pics of the trip ARE forthcoming, but I just had to VENT about this and NOW! while I am still seething…..

For the longest time (since the wedding in Aug), my mother in law has been trying to get us to watch the  video of her other son’s wedding, (please DO feel free to note that I DID NOT call him my BIL, which techinically he is, but to me, well, suffice it to say…..he’s not………I conside OMC still my SIL, but him, well, I am going to be nice and not comment on how I REALLY feel about the low life, lying, scum of the earth, snake in the grass, no good for nothing creep he is)…..Ok…I lied

Anyway, since the wedding, we have been asked to look at the pictures and view the video and yes, we did on occasion look at a picture or two, but never the video. Well. MIL came over this morning to see our new puppy (yep, a new puppy had graced our presence and truth be told, I am completely in love and haven’t laughed so hard in a very long time watching its antics. It’s not really OUR dog, but my 18 year olds, his gf gave it to him for Christmas (yes, with our permission)

ANyway, I digress..

So she comes over to see the puppy (Spanky, who is a Rat Terrier) and to see Chris before he goes back to college today….(Oh Thank you Lord for that, it’s been a lonnng winter break with his friends coming over and hanging out, not coming here until after 11 and staying until about 2 or 3). And she brings the dreaded video and 2 books of pictures… Everyone who waled into the kitchen to greet her was assaulted with these damn books. SO you do the polite thing and go through them, trying VERY hard not to be sarcastic. SO, we all looked at and ooohhed over my neices, they did look so beautiful and ignored the rest of it. Though I must say the image that came to mind when I saw the groom (being nice here, did you notice?) was the guy from the game Monopoly…..that and a dressed penguin….lmao.

But what REALLY set my teeth on edge and made me so mad that I did have to blurt an unkind comment out loud to my MIL was the readings that 2 of my neices did. From what I understand my middle neice refused to read and after hearing the readings I can’t say I blame her at all). None of HER children did any readings, only 2 of my neices and they were the worst kind of drivel I have ever heard. I guess if the readings had come from HER, THE BRIDE, it wouldn’t have been so bad, but this was without a doubt the stupidest readings I have ever heard at a wedding. They BOTH read words that talked about her SHE ( the bride) felt out her new husband, how she felt when they met, hpw she felt when they were together, how happy she was, and so on and so on, with a lOT of "I"
 statements…… SHE should have read the words not have had my neices read them…..Oh wait….there was another reading done by her youngest daughter, but too was all "I" statements, not at all appropriate for the children to be reading, they weren’t THERE words or thoughts.

Well MIL gets up to use the bathroom and my kids go nuts…….and they are not being nice at all, sorry to say, but true none the less. I might also add, that through the ceremony, the groom seemed VERY uncomfortable and didn’t look at her very much. he was very jumpy and kept looking all over the place…very weird. My kids are adament about NOT calling her Aunt and not calling her kids their cousins. They are all hurt and angry with their uncle and the hurt he has caused….There theory is , if you were unhappy, you don’t go out and have an affair for years, you either adeal with the problems, solve them or agree to separate in a dignified way…. and I have to concur with their reasonings…They also, all agree that Aunt OMC will always be there Aunt, end of story. Mil then told us that he and her and the WHOLE family were coming out here in the summer and my youngests reactions was jubilation….he will have his license and he can leave and not see them…and that was a direct quote from him…..

I just can’t believe the readings the girls were asked to do………that was just wrong………..IMHO, of course……. 

And on a lighter note, pic of  the puppy are also forthcoming….maybe not tonight as 24 begins tonight, but soon……
