PATIENCE PLEEZSE

Sunday night we went to my son and DIL for supper. My son wants to make it every second week. OY!!!!!!!!!! I am soooooooo rotten. I have so little tolerance and/or patience. Supper was a barbecue and very good. However I get so nervous listening to my DIL talk. She got a promotion which she went on and on about. She should be proud of herself. She works VERY hard and deserved it. I just wish she could be as passionate about being a Mother.
Two things made me upset. Actually three things. First she wanted her daughter to go put on her new shorts and strut her stuff. SAY WHAT???????? I was so happy her daughter didn’t listen. She’s only six!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Then she went on and on about her daughter taking chocolate from the house to bring to school. Her daughter lied about it etc. So she quizzed the daughter in front of us to explain to us what she did and why she did it and what her punishment was. WHY DID SHE HAVE TO HUMILIATE HER IN FRONT OF US????????? She could have told us instead about my granddaughter winning first prize in a race they had in school????????? It just breaks my heart. I just sat there very quietly fuming.
Then she was onto my grandson because they had been playing ball outside and I guess she threw the ball and my grandson got hurt. She had to go on and on until he admitted that she didn’t hurt him on purpose. OY!!!!!!!!!
My two sons and I don’t talk. We must learn how to start and carry a conversation at least I should. She monopolized the conversation by telling hubby about her new job. I sat there and couldn’t wait until I could leave. My son, her hubby says nothing.
Did she feel my anger, frustration etc? I don’t know but I just don’t want to go there every two weeks for supper. I will have to get hubby to make an excuse. As it is we are going next week because it’s my grandson’s birthday party. Then I am not sure if he expects us the week after. OY!!!!!!!
My DIL weighs nothing. Skin and bones! She has trouble walking. That part is very sad!!!!! She is going to start a new treatment. I hope it works for her.
Anyhow today I had a great day. It was beautiful outside but hubby and I decided we were staying in. I wanted to reorganize my craft room and hubby was going to work on his car room. His collection is AMAZING!
Then his friend called and off he went to the golf course. I was happy for both of them. I didn’t mind being home alone at all.
At night we went for supper – had a delicious steak and fries with mayonnaise. I usually don’t eat them like that but my friend did so I did too. Way too many extra calories probably.
Today I am going to my art class and then bridge at night. I am still not finished my craft room but it is looking better. I am debating whether or not I should put my computer back in the kitchen and then I can take away this table. I think I will.
I am working on the scrapbook for my DIL. It is taking me so long to make decisions……………… I guess I want it perfect for her.
So maybe I should go back to sleep or move my computer. What do you think. It’s five sixteen.
