Something came to my attention this weekend & really opened my eyes. Since I've been griping so much, I wanted to share. Let me tell you what happened....

My step dad has been working for 2 weeks straight. IF he was home, he came in late, ate, showered, went to sleep, got up really early, & left the house before the crack of dawn. Two weeks straight. He finally gets a weekend off, gets to spend time with mom. Where do they go? My house. It was a quick visit since they were in town & she was bringing me my mail, but wait... there's more. I'm on a strict diet for 2 weeks - and it's working - & they said they were going to a Mexican restaurant for lunch. My favorite & I'm starving!!!! I joked about going with them, but mom took me seriously & said "sure!" When my step dad went to see the cats upstairs (he's a cat person) I told her I didn't want to impose & they should spend time together. She understood. Apparently, after their lunch they were on their way to a store & she had to call me. Jeez, woman! You're husband's finally home! Go spend time with him!

So you see, it's not so much me or my step dad that is the problem. It's mom. Sheesh.
