ok

Well, I made it through mother's day with only two minor break downs. It is hard to believe that a year ago, we were hoping to announce our pregnancy on mother's day. Ha. We had the 4th annual mother's day brunch at our house today, with my mom and MIL. All of the food was good and eaten.

I had my spring concert yesterday. The concert went well and I didn't mess up any of my solos!


The in-laws spend two of their 4 evacuated nights with us. One was planned a few weeks ago and Friday we found out about a few hours ahead. It sure is annoying to have people in your house who do things so differently! They got to go back to their house this afternoon though, so that is good. They never lost power, once it came back after the fire first began. It's hard to believe that 1/3 of their city was evacuated. My uncle (ass) of course decided to ignore the mandatory evacuations and stay in his house. As my other uncle said, "He's an idiot!" I just hope the fire gets totally out soon, before the weather heats up again.

That's it for now. I have more to say, but it is too much for one post.

    I loved the clip! Sorry that the in-laws visit was a bit annoying. At least their home is safe.

    I know what you mean about how frustrating it is to have people staying with you who do things so differently. We had my ILs last year.

    I love the clip of you playing!

    Thank you for sharing the clip - I am SO impressed! I'm sorry your mother's day was difficult, and that you had to deal with ILs for longer-than-expected. Thank goodness their home was OK; it does sound like they're getting the upper hand on the fires after this morning.

    Two years ago my parents moved in with us for THREE MONTHS. Torture!

It's you!

"It's you!  I just know it!  You've lost some weight, it must be because of the morning sickness!" No, it's not me.  I'm not pregnant. "But is HAS to be you.  Who else could it be?  You just don't want to tell because it is too early" No, really.  It's not me.  I promise.  I haven't cheated on my husband.   "Well, who else could it be?" Um, one of the other 20 teachers of child bearing age at this school.  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I've guessed the other two pregnant teachers, before I even knew there were pregnant teachers at my school.  I have 'pregodar' (like gaydar, but for preggos) and really can sense the preggos around me.  I hadn't pegged a 3rd teacher, but I heard a rumor that there is a third when I started being hounded, and I think I have it figured out.  Its the one on her 3rd engagement and 3rd marriage in 5 years.  She's reaching the top of her realistic baby time, so it makes sense.

plugging along

There really isn't much to say at this point.  I'm plugging along, doing fine. Yesterday, I bowed out of a BBQ with B's family.  In May I mentioned BIL's ex and her "surprise" (planned) pregnancy.  One of the reasons for this BBQ was for BIL's birthday, and she decided to drive down to attend (she's still living 5-6 hours away).  She's like 26 weeks pregnant, and the thought of having to spend the day with her made me feel ill.  BIL isn't planning on living with her and the baby or marrying her, but will go visit often.  She is such an attention whore, I couldn't deal with her talking about the baby and flaunting the fact that she is still around because of it.  I've felt a little bit of a cold coming on, so I exaggerated it and stayed home.  I did end up throwing up my dinner, so I'm glad I didn't go. I felt a little guilty about skipping out on this, but I got over it quickly.  MIL was hoping that B and I would announce our

off with the crazies

Well, as expected, I had a pretty crappy Christmas.  Christmas eve was actually the best part.  We always celebrate on Christmas eve with my mom's side of the family.  That was actually fine.  Christmas day, not so much.  First, at my dad's side of the family lunch, I've never felt like such an outsider.  Christmas at the IL's started out fine.  BIL's dumb girlfriend decided to group each person's gifts in a pile, and we opened gifts one person at a time.  This took forever, and was kind of annoying.  For this group, we set up a gift exchange with B's brothers, so that we didn't have to buy for everyone.  I did the arranging for this, and think I did a good job.  I gave everyone opportunity to give input and include anyone else who was not included (didn't know if BIL's girlfriend was coming), compiled the responses, and sent out the information.  After all of that, B's brother went and got something for everyone, which really set me off.  Be
