Skimmers!

February 18th, 2009

GAH! You guys are total skimmers!

This isn’t the first time Maddie and I have visited my in-laws by ourselves. Unlike a lot of you, I’m blessed with FABULOUS in-laws. I’m closer to them than some of my own family members. Gerald and I have a standing agreement that if we ever get divorced I get custody of his family.

I’ve had boyfriends with horrible mothers in the past, so I can truly appreciate my MIL. She’s my surrogate mother now that my mom’s gone. And she’s a wonderful friend and the best grandmother EVER.

I didn’t bring my laptop with me because I’m trying to detox from the internet for a while, but I HAD to call out all of you skimmers who couldn’t believe I’d come visit my in-laws without Gerald. Again, I call you SKIMMERS.

    I knew that you got along with your ILs. I love my ILs too. Don’t know what I’d do without them. We’re lucky girls, you and I.

    I am so jealous of you and MD. I can’t stand my in-laws (four of them since there was a divorce and two remarriages). You are one lucky chicka.

    I know you lurve your in-laws, I just didn’t realize you’d go solo. Perhaps I am just envious.

    Is it over between us or can we still get married in Chicago?

    I remember last time you went, you were sad to be back home! I hope you have a wonderful time. P.S. my MIL was the same way, she passed away 1.5 years ago, I miss her so much.

    I don’t skim! I remember you talking about this! But I still can’t believe you’d go without him. Maybe your situation is just so far from my own that I find it hard to process. I am way super totally jealous.
