I survived my first big challenge.....the birthday party for my BIL. The challenge was NOT going.....figured it would raise questions, especially from MIL, since it was family plus friends there. H had asked me not to go since it was a joint party for BIL and FF (that I have been jealous of "for no reason" according to H!). And why doesn't he understand why I feel like a lower priority??? H told everyone I wasn't feeling well.
D16 did go and said Grandma was the only one who asked about me. She probably has figured something is wrong because I haven't missed a party in 30 years! She is off for a trip today and will be gone 2 weeks. After that we'll have to talk.
I was actually ok!! Spent the time they were gone reading, napping, and generally relaxing. The only difficult part was when they got home (H came in just for a minute). Neither said anything about the party which made me feel like they had a pact not to talk.
Hope everyone is having a pleasant weekend. Matilda
