How time flies. Hubby was back in Houston for another business trip. He left last Wednesday and got back Friday. Luckily it was a shorter trip than most lately. Unfortunately he has another one this week. He is going to Orlando, FL for this one and leaves tomorrow and does not get back until Saturday. Which really, really sucks!
We had a fairly quiet weekend. My next door neighbor and I have become friends and have really enjoyed our bitching sessions together. Her hubby was gone last week too, but his was for fishing and hunting, so at least my man was making money :o) Friday night her and I sat around had a bottle of wine, then had some beer and just talked til about 1:30 in the morning (glad I live next door) Saturday we just spent time as a family together and vegged, then went to my parents for dinner. Sunday hubby did some work he needed to get done, I napped and we went to my grandparents house to help my dad do a few things over there. Had dinner with my grandma, my aunt I do not care for, her stupid husband and my cousin. Then they left, thank goodness, and hubby, grandma, my dad and I played tile rummy together. It was great to be with my grandma, I love and adore her so much and she loves being around the kids.
My aunt has become more intolerable over the last year and it rather pisses me off. She loves to make her little comments about my children. Luckily most stand up to her when she does. She made some comment about the kids bothering my grandma. My grandma piped in and said No, they are not bothering me, they are great kids. That shut my aunt up pretty quick. Then, later on my aunt made another comment about my kids possibly spilling something, this time my dad said no, they are very careful and luckily grandmas floor is hardwood so its easy to clean up an accident. Let me just say, I have GREAT children!!!! DO NOT BITCH ABOUT MY KIDS WHEN YOUR OWN ARE MAJOR FUCK UPS!!!!!! My aunt has THREE black sheep daughters and shes bitching about my well behaved ones???? I have 2 words for my aunt... FUCK OFF!!! My children are polite, they are generally quiet and do not run through my grandparents house, they are VERY respectful of my grandmother and know to be careful around her and ADORE her. They are the closest great-grandkids to my grandparents and they have ALWAYS loved having them over and insist that I bring them over all the time... Dont you think if they were misbehaved they would not want the kids around?!?!?!?!?
*DEEP breath* Luckily my aunt was put in her place several times. My cousin graduates at the end of May and had her Graduation annoucments with her. She will be the ONLY one of her sisters to graduate from High School and damn, we are going to be out of town and cant make it, isnt that a pity... :o) Oh, THEN to top it all off... My aunts husband is Catholic. I have NOTHING against Catholics, my best friend of is CAtholic, her hubby is Catholic, and there are many more that I know that are Catholic. So, when her stupid husband brought up the whole Pope thing I had to chime in. He does not like the new Pope and said that luckily his reign will not last as long as John Pauls. Then made another stupid comment about John Paul being a Holy Man. OK, I do not disagree with John Paul being a Holy man, he was. BUT, he is NOT TO BE WORSHIPED!!!! Let me just say, he WAS A MORTAL MAN, JUST LIKE YOU AND ME!!!!! Granted he was a lot better in his works, since my religion does NOT believe in works to get to heaven. BUT HE IS NOT WORTHY TO BE PRAYED TO!!!!! I read in a news article that people were going to John Pauls Grave to pray for miracles, hes dead people, the only thing left here is his shell. Is there not a verse in the Bible that says do not pray to false Idols???? Is that not one of the 10 Commandments??? Well, I believe if you pray to a mortal man, that is praying to a false idol. He is NOT God, he is NOT Jesus and is not worthy of praying to. I will not deny that John Paul was a great man and that he is worthy of praying FOR, just not to. Anyways, that was my arguement with my aunts husband, he backed off once I reminded him of the 10 Commandements. I do not normally get into Religous battles with people, but I dont like my aunts husband, so I do not care if I offend him and I can have an opinion too. :o) I did NOT bash the late Pope so that was not the issue. Because as far as I am concerned for a Pope he was not a bad guy, he was extremely compassionate and I think that is quite honorable.
OK, off to clean house and deal with the kids. I hope everyone has a great week!!!
