I love how you are working it out with your MIL. That is precious and something your children are blessed to have.
My MIL called me last week and told me that she saw this coming (she always says stuff like that) and that I don't deserve any of this and she couldn't get involved (oh that she wouldn't) H was so secretive she just now knows that we are having any issues (after 2 years lol). I never really warmed up to her so I consider that a 'win' on the column if this D goes through! Not bitter, just looking at the bright side! She has always wanted me to confide in her, but I've never felt close to her. (she was horrible to my H growing up and as an adult, she trashes him quite frequently.) Not a healthy relationship for me at any rate. I'll be fine with her being grandmother, but not friend. Make sense?
I'm a little jealous of your night out. We moved into a very small town 3-4 years ago and it was perfect for us then, but me out here by myself is probably not the best for me. It's hard to not worry over the future while at the same time not knowing where I want to live. I have no idea!

Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
