Probably fluid loss. Woke up sick. Congestion in my head and chest. Nose stuffed up. Throat feels like someone used sand paper on it. To top it off I also have an ear ache. I was outside running errands without an ear muff thing. That always gives me an ear ache. Just hopeful that I feel better soon. In 6 hours my home will be over run with tiny little humans who want makeup done, nails painted, pizza, cake, presents and to run all over my house screaming. Hubbys had a cold for over a week and I’ve been avoiding him. Suddenly today he feels so much worse. He thinks he now has the achy flu and shouldn’t be around anyone. Really? Every party at home he feels bad, is exhausted and needs a nap and/or has to go help a friend or family member. Thankfully I hired my oldest to help with nails and makeup. However her payment was a sleepover of her own and we haven’t heard back yet (staying with the dad and I only have the moms number). She also got a ‘12 days of Christmas’ present for her friend. Now she’s probably not going to help if her friend can’t come.
Family started in last night and again at 8am. They didn’t get the point. Nothing has changed. Still everything on their terms with no time to look things over and think about them (contracts) and the threat of ‘sure I’ll do this as you want but only if you give in to all those demands of mine’. Hubby isn’t as upset which means he will cave in a week or two if the pattern holds. I won’t cave. I’m not signing another contract no matter who it’s with without reading it over for a few days and possibly taking it to a lawyer. This last one ended up where they can control what we do and make us pay for things they want if we don’t do it their way. If things go south this contract says we don’t get reimbursed ANY expenses for this year and don’t get ANY of the income. That’s a huge hit! It’s a $35,000 loss right up front plus no income and still making bank payments. Or they could make us take the hit now, pay for any expenses they wish and allow us to have some of the profits so that we might break even. Excuse the language but the whole contract is fucked up. So one sided. I was worried but it’s family so... we trusted his freakin PARENTS! I’m staying strong. I reminded him that he has to have my signature and I won’t be signing it without someone else looking at it first. I won’t be giving in on games, school stuff and my kids. My counselor says to practice saying no. So I’m starting today. I said no to coffee and am having tea instead. Becoming addicted I think because it’s become a need rather than a want. Said no to the candy bar I walked past and drooled over. Said no to the protein bar and shake I considered. May say no to the fries but he’s baking them rather than frying and I haven’t had good cheese fries in awhile lol. I also said no to helping the kids with their rooms. They’ve had weeks to get it done. ‘A lack of planning on your part doesn’t constitute an emergency on my part’. It feels good to say no lol. But the guilt is kicking in.

They ‘love’ us lol. Said we just don’t understand that they need to protect themselves (at our expense), his sibs need more help from them and it’s just our imagination or we make stuff up. Like how they never see our kids alone. It’s our fault because we don’t want the other grandkids there at every single thing our kids do. Sometimes we want it to be just us or just us and them. Like 2-3 things per kid per year. Our kids have 1-2 games per week. Two for 6-8 weeks and the other 28+ weeks a year plus choir, programs, awards etc. It’s our fault our kids dislike them now when in reality it’s because they refuse to listen to our kids and say thebother kids won more games or placed higher. If that’s their love then we don’t need it ;).

Ty LZ. I’ve learned to creep on Facebook. Figured out they’ve been stalking my posts and the schools website and pages. So now I’m stalking back so that I know not to post when they are online. If they happen to be online they’ll start messaging me or calling and texting one of us repeatedly. Wish I could send their calls straight to voice mail without them knowing I did it lol. And they’ve started having other family members call and ask us stuff for them when we won’t answer or give in. It’s like dealing with backstabbing teenage girls!
