Welcome to my new thread. Since the old one is now locked, here we go on a new chapter in this saga. W has still got her heals dug in I think, as miss right. (If I say it's so, it is and you better just realize it). One thing that this whole experience has taught me is "co-workers don't have to live with the mess they help W gets herself into". And of course when the day is over they go home to their own mess.

It has been real difficult for me to not let the cat out of the bag to my ILs. My FIL introduces me as "SIL & best helper". Most of their neighbors know me more than W. So I guess I'm trying to figure out when W will finally get some humility and really try. But I guess that's what were all trying to figure out here.

Last night I had to go to sleep with my tongue stapled down. W made a comment that just screamed for a WTF type of answer. I was speechless, however she came so close to both barrels. If I would have bit on that one, it would have been good for at least 1 hr of "debate". So since I didn't want to show up exhausted for work, I just let it slide.

Well next weekend I have plans. Road trip and GAL. Can H give W coal in their stockings for a birthday present. I think as long as I'm not yelling HO, HO, HO and not trying to stuff the bird, that should be OK. I need input here. I'm sure it should confuse the heck out of children. I know if it was our anniversary that would probably be the only rock she would get.

But seriously, obviously I do love her or I wouldn't be here. Maybe it's time to start the next book from Michele, SSM. Don't worry, I won't give it as her birthday present, I'm not about to try to explain that one to IL. Well I guess it wouldn't be me, it would be her.

Goals for the week, more GAL. Refocus on own needs and issues. Provide best F for kids as possible. Pray for change.
