And then launched into a diatribe about how she retains printed paper for reuse on the blank side because people (eg my family) can see their private info. He may not be quite right in the head? My teens were stunned and no one said anything. I wish my husband would have but the moment just…passed. We just arrived last night and are here for a week.

Here they come again with their full-ass cooler of random, half-expired crap. They got pissy when DH told them flat out no, you can’t store an open can of Snapple in our overstuffed fridge; all this half-eaten stuff can stay in the cooler in the garage. Why they always feel the need to bring a small container of expired sour cream with one tablespoon remaining is beyond me. But at least he puts his foot down.

It cut off before I was done. So my grandparents are hosting Christmas, but they are ordering pizza. I’m pregnant and very emotional over this. My husband and I have decided to have our own Christmas feast.
I don’t blame your mom. She doesn’t need your drama ruining her holiday.

SIL has two options for coffee: (1) single-cup pour over, which takes 7 minutes start to finish for one measly cup at a time, or (2) a $900 espresso machine you need an engineering degree to operate. I feel like the Goldilocks of coffee.

Super appreciate the purchase of the flight ticket, not super loving the long list of things I am required to have to host this person. I had to go to three different stores to find the specific liquid, no-sugar, no calorie sweetener drops that are needed for coffee, plus coconut water but not the kind that’s only the shelf, only the kind that’s in the fridge? Plus specific type of soap for showering and about 12 different organic fruit and veggie requests. I have 4 kids and am planning meals for 12 people, is regular sugar or Splenda really not sufficient for two mornings worth of coffee??
