DH told me last night that the skids will be at the house tonight for thanksgiving break. DH has the rest of the week off and was going to come up to visit me at work and take me to lunch Wed and Friday since he had stuff to do in the area. he was telling me of his plans and then said " oh and i'll bring the boys up to see you wed for lunch" - my immediate thought WTF - NO i dont 'want to see THEM for lunch...dammit. did DH think i'd be excited to see them? and he's going to drive MY car up so that i can have my own car for the traffic coming home - this translates into "my boys will be scrunched in the little truck so i'll bug the mechanic to make sure i can have yours done by noon to drive up to you and then drive the big truck with plenty of room home. i have an oil change scheduled and DH lets me drive his truck when this happens and he drives skids truck until he gets his license.
is Dh really blind to my not being excited to see his skids....really - extended school vacations due to holidays make me want to request OT! i just dont want to be home with them.

MY FEELING EXACTLY!
I'm sitting here at the office completely depressed over what's waiting for me at home. My MIL flew in for a week-long visit (we don't get along all that well) and my 3 skids were dumped at our house by their BM a day and a half earlier than scheduled (we have 50/50 and it's already way too much, and with these alternate holidays, ugh...). BM went on her merry way to meet her boyfriend out of town and I'm the one feeding, entertaining, cleaning etc. She never even asked if that was ok. She now just makes the kids ask so it sounds like it was THEIR idea, so she doesn't owe us any favors.But that's besides the point - my DH ALWAYS says yes anyway.
You can tell I'm in this cheery, festive mood, don't you?! :sick:

Can dinner include a bunch of Tequila and hot cabana girls (and boys) to serve the drinks?

If so ... count me in. Blum 3

Oh man, sorry you're feeling depressed! I SO vote for cabana boys! It looks like mine won't be TOO crazy, but too early to tell-I'm sure the BM will pull shit last minute.

Because of my SIL's schedule, our family is having Thanksgiving on Friday instead. Thursday I'm free as a bird, my kids are going w/their dad and I'll probably make a round with the bf to his parents house. THe girl is supposed to spend w/her mom but w/her surgery and bullshit who knows?

THen, he has her Friday-I asked him if he wanted to come w/her to my brothers for Thanksgiving with us. Bless his heart, he said he's not sure he has the nerves of steel needed to have his BD and my BS go at eachothers throat. He rather I enjoy a peaceful Holiday with my family-and I can join him at his house Thursday instead Smile Christmas I"m sure will be different but at least THanksgiving SHOULD be going smoothly.

THe thing is, with the two of them-we manage ok if we're in my house or neighborhood or small outings, we can deal with them when they get out of hand...but he was like NO way are we doing this at your brothers, with your parents...we're all still new at getting to know eachothers family and don't want to put that pressure on ourselves..in other words-we know are limitations well and plan accodingly-EVEN if that means some split Holidays. Call me crazy but I think that'll work just FINE!

Frozen drinks that actually stay frozen. Biggrin I can handle that. Or we can all just meet in Puerto Vallarta. Every time I have been there are more Canadians than Mexicans.

It has always been a blast.
