Black Eyes and Dominoes

There’s a reason that I don’t ever want to visit the hubby’s family.  Why?  Because it’s nothing but insanity the whole time.  I seriously feel like I’m in a really bad movie every time that we come to visit.

We never just have a normal visit.  There’s never a day that goes by that doesn’t include some sort of drama.  And the common factor in the drama every single time is Seth.  He’s in serious need of some help.  I can’t remember if I wrote about the fact that last week he was committed to the psych ward for a few days.  Well he was.  He flipped out and in he went.  And in my opinion he got out entirely too fast.  He is not fit to be able to handle every day occurrences.

Example:  Today the whole family was over and we had a bbq.  Everything was going seemingly nice.  We ate and afterwards we were in the backyard watching Seth play catch with the boys.  Well Jacob started playing catch too and he overhand lobbed the ball to Payton.  Evidently Payton doesn’t know how to catch because it nailed him right in the eye.  Bring on the black eye.  Shawn and Seth running to the kitchen for ice (as they should), and then Seth coming back out to bitch Jacob out because his son can’t catch.  At which point he packed up his family and left in a huff.

Ummm… hello?  Am I the only one seeing something wrong with this picture?  Overreact much?  Damn!  Shit like this is going to happen.  It’s okay.  And the simple fact of the matter is that it could have happened as easily with Seth playing catch with Payton.  But because it happened to be Jacob throwing the ball, it was blown completely out of proportion.  Let me tell you… if looks could kill, my poor husband would be 6 feet under because of the looks that Seth was shooting his way.  LAME!

There is a reason that I only agree to come up here ever 4-6 months.  I hope that the next time we come up won’t be until Christmas.

*sigh*  The MIL is calling.  She wants to play dominoes.  Too bad she wants to play stupid Mexican Train and not regular good ol’ dominoes.  I’d kick some ass then.
