Clearly, it is mid-October. And those in the know know that things are particularly crazy mid-October through mid-March. This year will be no different and I can only hope that I am shouldering the brunt of it as I really want the g-friend to stick around for at least another year! True, this is purely selfish on my part but I believe that I am due.
Two or three weeks ago I was alerted that the crazy former mother-in-law was coming for a visit on the 16th (today) and, as it is technically my weekend, was asked if it would be okay for the girls to have dinner with her. No problem for me, details to arrive later.
It is the 16th. No details arrived. I initiated the call and got a mouthful of crazy - in short, there was no plan. Apparently, the mother-in-law, already in town, was not making her grandchildren a priority (not the first time either). A second call was required to determine that the crazy man and his mother would pick the children up from my house at 6pm-ish and return the girls after dinner. All that for two hours with their grandmother.
Fortunately my girls know crazy and don't have high expectations for either the crazy man or his mother. Their main concern is that they will be forced to eat icky food as their grandmother will only eat out at diners or chain restaurants. You know she only eats Kashi cereal otherwise.
