SO, tough week, with FSD around all week, lots of hectic evenings. SO of course BM still in hospital and changed plans so the one Thanksgiving Day we would be just him and his family got changed for her to be with us. THat's fine-just always last minute change around-I knew it.
I had a wonderful time at his family's..they are awesome people, made me feel SO welcome and comfortable. Was really exceptional. At least I know I"m getting into a family who's IN-laws adore me and respect me and would always have my back.

THe FSD was there but when it's just her and the adults of course we had no issues. THEN was time to come home as my boys were headed back around 8pm...rest of the evening went to hell. I lost my sex drive for the night, and went to my room a couple times to get away. THey spent the night, so Friday am we woke up to them fighting-he dealt w/it I stayed in bed-we were still up early. Rest of the am went great. I took my boys to my brothers for our family thanksgiving, my SIL was in a usual pissy mood, nothing new.

Last night we gather w/the BF and FSD, evening was a mixed bag but definately some fights, my oldest ends up w/a knot on his head-I ended up locking myself in my room once. SO he says they're definately going home so I can sleep in. He says you know if she's here there will be a fight when we get up and she gets up early...your boys let you sleep in-you need it. So I stayed up watching mindless tv till around 2.

Well, I wake up once at 10 hear them getting up...go back to sleep-expecting them to wake me up at 11-1130 (they get their own bkfst typically)..well my youngest comes to wake me up with a hug...MOMMY ok time to get up, it's 1255 ..I was like what the heck? Why did you let me sleep this much? Are you guys ok, you hungry? LOL...he was like no, I knew you were tired and wanted to sleep...but if i let you sleep later you won't sleep tonight. Ahhhh, he's 9!! GOD I love my boys! Fantastic way to start the day-so my house chores get moved up later-I don't care. I"m feeling like a million bucks!

I taught them to let mom sleep in early on-probably they were around 4 and 6. I wake up early all week-they learned quick that if they let me sleep mom would be a much happier mom all day-or wake me up and me be a witch. They chose wisely LOL. . THey keep the volume low-rarely wake me, of all the times I think my kids can sometimes be ungrateful and inconsiderate, man these wknds of sleeping in...THAT is them showing me love.

I know that feeling. My skids go to their BM EOWE. On the weekends where it is just MY kids at home, DH and I get to stay in bed as long as we want. It's quiet and peaceful, you would never know we have 4 kids in there getting breakfast and watching TV, allowing us to sleep in.

However, when DH's kids are here, we wake up to SS6 screaming and being loud EVERY SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. There is no respect for the parents, or brothers and sisters, who are still trying to sleep.
