Well, DH recieved some bad news about his dad. The tumor is much larger than they thought. The think they got it all out but the type of tumor that it is, it will more than likely return. Of course, no one has recorded (in memory or on paper) what type of tumor he has, exactly. They're just sort of nodding at the Drs. Of course, I do have to say this, DH's family is KNOWN for their drama-queen ways. It's really annoying at times, his sister would talk about what a mean horrible awful man her father is, and how she just hates him. Now, when anyone speaks with her she's sobbing uncontrollably. I'm sure she's upset, but she focuses on what *she's* sacraficed since her father has been in the hospital. Like telling me yesterday, amamzingly, she could clear her sobs to say as clear as a bell, "Well, I have been at the hospital for 2 days straight, I mean I went home for 2 hours to get a shower and call [my dh's name]." Yeah then she started the whole water works thing back up again. I don't know maybe I sound like a heartless bitch but, when you run around for YEARS and whine about how your father ruined your wedding (a marriage that didn't even last 3 months) because he left early, (because he wasn't even really welcome there ANYWAY!) and then talk about how horrible he treated your crazy-blind-faking mother (OMG that is a whole other journal, seriously, there is dirt there that hasn't seen the light of day, until I uncovered it) and basically call him a sorry S.O.B. everytime you get the chance, DO NOT start acting like daddy's little girl is about to lose her best friend. OH! and the rich part is that she made sure to tell DH that her and her
current fuck....err boyfriend, took COTS up to the hospital to spend the night in the waiting room....WHY?!!! She's MAYBE 10mins from the hospital and for the time being their father is fine. He'll be home in a week but its all the shit after that (Chemo, life expectancy etc..). Hell I would be relieved just to get him home. But, then again, she FEEDS off of drama, hell this is the chick who out of the blue wrote us a nasty letter rehashing shit that happened 5+ years previous. See, we hadn't done anything wrong in a LONG time so she didn't have anything to bitch about how terrible and controlling and mean, *I AM*...see they all hate me, I find it amusing, but they all hate me, except DH's Dad. Even though DH's mom made up some elaborate story about how DH's dad really hates me but won't let me know that. Hmmmmm this is the lady who hates this man more than life its self, how in the hell would she know? Oh, yeah stupid SIL told her, yeah we all know we can rely on that scamp.
Ok, yeah, uhhh I'm venting to prepare myself for the WHOLE GODDAMNNED MOTHERFUCKING WEEK!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have to spend with that whore. See, I hate her, I mean I really really really hate her. And she LOVES to play the victim and she's a spoiled rotten little brat. Even though she's a few months older than I am she acts like she's 15. She MUST be the full center of attention, so this is REALLY going to grate on my ever-lovin' last ass nerve, while w'ere there she'll be telling us about all that SHE sacraficed while her father was in the hospital, and he'll be home battling his mortality, and she's playing the herione! GAWD!!!!!! And it drives me fucking crazy.
I should post the letters one day, that would be funny, I have them scanned in. Ok, there will be a lot of bitching and family dirt throwing this week and probably into next week, so be prepared.
DH's dad came through the surgery fine, he'll be home a week from Weds. We're going down there for a week the 2nd week of Dec. The doctors gave FIL a year if he takes chemo, which I would imagine he would take, but hey I could be wrong. I'm not sure what I would do in that situation to tell you the truth.
Other news; I have a HUGE box of T-shirts sitting in my foyer....oh my! Soon cool T-shirt things will be a poppin' up around here.....just watch!
Before someone attacks me for being a cold heartless, mean, no-souled, bitch.....I DO care about Dh's father and DH. I do NOT care about SIL. I DO treat her with kid gloves (I had to actually TALK to her yesterday, and I was REALLY nice) and I won't be acting like some mean hussy on crack, I will however grit my teeth and smile while she tells everyone what a wonderful daughter she is and how much she sacrificed. And I'm suspecting that even though her father is going through something absolutely terrifying and upsetting, she'll bring up her no-good mother and how I am such a mean person blah blah blah....Yes, you see this is EXACTLY the type of thing that she would do. Granted, I could be wrong and she could be the nicest chick in the land, or hey she could stay at work all day....that'd be nice!

I understand completely. Sounds just like my family! So self centered. If they cannot find something to bitch about they find something that irritates them, everyday stuff that we all deal with and don't even think twice about. You know like the idiot that turned right on red without waiting because they had a green light.... but no that is not the end they almost killed her and now she thinks she will have mental stress...Oh never mind. I know what you are going through and can sympathize. I really hope your father in law recovers and enjoys the time he has left here in PEACE.
Oh gods, do I ever know where you're coming from. My step-mother (who I blogged about not too long ago) and your MIL sound like they were cut from the same cloth. Sucks ass, I know.
My regards to your FIL and DH; hope things go smoothly, despite all the immature assholes around. *Hugs*
My SiL is 6 years older than me, and once as I sat here doing taxes, she asked me what it was like having never done them herself, (cuz she's just a moron and can't keep a job long enough...)she didn't say that, I did...Hope your FiL has a nice holiday, yal too. I heard this once, and it applies to my in-laws, I'm thinking yours too.
