prayers needed to get me through visit from sister and to hold my tongue!!

[snowisgone]

too long to go into. reallylooking forward to seeing my niece and nephew and for them to see my kids who are so excited about the visit. in typical style not coming now until it suits her she is sooo two faced and although i love her and would wish her no harm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! she exasperates me.

i am so stressed i shouted at kids tonight!! This is her first visit in 3 years i have been home but she is coming to me. I am piggy in the middle as she has really let down another sister who does not deserve treatment she is getting from her. I just want to have a nice evening and keep it up beat. well that's my plan not drinking too much for sure. families don't you just love them. say a prayer world war 3 doesn't break out. thanks

I know what you mean. Family members can certainly reach the parts of us that others can't.

Praying for you to find patience with your ds, and maybe to have some fun too.

Smile and wave, smile and wave. or do what my MIL does which is dissappear with the children so she doesn't have to do grown up talk.

thank you for your messages well we all survived and it was rather pleasant. my 3 year old daughter who is so loving jumped on her knee and for some reason asked her does she love bla bla and bla bla and auntie ? the one whom she is treating so bad!!! yes she replied but don't like her very much!! i said "That's enough of that nonsense" and stopped her in her tracks. she got pissed i didn't had a few but had work next morning anyway. it was lovely to see family and neice and nephew are going to come over for week-end by themselves. so that will be great. mil has a good tip i have avoided confrontation with her on previous occasions could write a book. but hey we survived and it was pleasant.
