Here are the two most recent ones (2 days apart):
congratulations on the football win--I assume you went to the game. Did they play well?
I responded to your blog thoughts, but am not sure if it went to you or to Maggie, because I went to the send it to a friend. I really don't know my way around your site--I'm sure there's a lot I could access if I just knew how. Maybe you could help me on our next visit. I truly love it--it helps me not miss you all too much, and lets me get to know you.
"Mommy Vent", you are special. Love you--"Her first name"-Mom
Ok first of all she knew we went to the game because her daughter watched my boys. Why in the world is she sending her friends links to my other blog? Those who know me know I don't liked to be gushed over. EVERY time we talk to her she goes on and on and on about how much she likes my blog (my other blog) and how great it is. She comments on what's she's read and how she feels like she gets to know me more and see my sons. Ok yeah sure. But, at the same time it makes me subconscious of what I type in my blog. I started my blog as a place to talk about what is going on in my everyday life as a mother. I started it as a place where I could reflect on life, show off pics of my boys and just well journal on everything. Now I feel like I'm being watched and that makes me second guess what I type about.
We're reluctant to call because we don't want to interfere in the evening "ritual"(which is so important,) or your time together.
We would like to visit with you over the next weekend. We know there is a UCF game, and if you have plans with your tailgate group, we could stay with the boys so you could relax and enjoy.
We both have Monday off and would be spending some time with "sister-in-law" looking at her pictures from her trip.
Let us know your thoughts.
I don't know about you, but when I read this e-mail they are not asking to come over, but telling us that they are coming. They probably have already made plans with their daughter for the Monday plans. If they are talking about this coming weekend, the UCF game is away and we have plans for our friends to come to our house on Sat. to watch the game. But, we also have plans on Sun. to go to my parents to celebrate my grandfather's birthday. If they are talking about the following week, it makes life hard for me because I was planning on going to enjoy the tailgating and the game since I couldn't this weekend (my sister-in-law, as mentioned above watched the boys but couldn't get over until after work so I didn't get there until almost kick off time). My parents will be watching the boys so I can go tailgating for the next game. I do NOT trust R's parents to watch the boys for 30 minutes never mind 5-6 hours.
I do not reply to her e-mails usually. I just send them onto R or have him read them when he gets home. I feel like they are his parents... he needs to deal with it!
Is it time to change my e-mail address?? I know many will think I'm not being reasonable, but it just the way it is!
