Finally Friday...

It is here, I have to work on Sunday (Allstate 400) but the end is near. I have been walking around with a cold all week and fell like crap. Just enough to cough and be stuffed up but not enough to call in.

I need a real vacation but do not have enough time saved up. I would love to just sit at home for a few days and not worry about anything. But that is not meant to be, oh well.

Tonight will be FULL CLEAN MODE as the MIL will be here tomorrow. Her visit will be short and I am sure full of strife. She is very good to the boy and has always treated us well, but the wife and her mother are like oil and water. I am sure that she still holds us moving out here into the same state as MY PARENTS against us. If she calls and they are here she will call back, or if we are at their house and she calls the cell. Two years ago we all went out to dinner and my parents paid the bill and we never heard the end of it until they came to visit the next year and we went out to dinner again. This time we had to get there before my parents and my In Laws talked to our waitress and gave her the credit card and said the bill only comes to us, period. I know it is little things, but man EVERY time the MIL called and my wife talked to her she would mention the dreaded MEAL INCIDENT, EVERY TIME for a FULL YEAR!!! Gets on the nerves a little. Last year my mom commented on the $100.00 bill my In Laws gave him and he put it in his wallet. She said something about: Wow, $100 bill, I would never give him that to carry around (she likes to stir shit too). So 4 days ago the MIL calls to 'confirm' the visit and says she had to make an extra trip to the bank to get $50's because she did not want to upset my mother by giving the boy another $100 bill.

They arrive tomorrow morning and are scheduled to leave on Monday but I am sure something will come up and they will be gone by Sunday night. I am so glad I am working Sunday morning from 4am till Noon. I will most likely miss whatever maybe up incident that will send them home early.

Wish me luck.
