We live in a touristy area. We have the only "grandbabies/niece/nephew." As a result, people - family mostly - visit us frequently. Ok, my family visits frequently. My sister (who is my bestie!!), we see each other once a month usually...at least. She comes down more frequently - for convenience - easier to travel without two toddlers and a dog! Well my sister-in-law (SIL) has decided to grace us with her presence. With her new boyfriend (14 years older than her and closer in age to her parents, but whatever, right?). She's not particularly considerate though.
She took next week off - so her boyfriend could move into her house. They are coming here Friday and leaving Sunday night. They have to drive through Jersey - on the turnpike - during summer. And by her planning during peak hours. We tried to advise her to leave early on Friday. But no. They planned to leave at 2pm. Normally would put them here around 7. Except its summer. And they have to drive through Jersey. On the turnpike...anyone see where I am going with this? Hello beach traffic!! The didn't leave eat 2. At 11:15am, found out they were running late. Would leave at 2:30. They actually left at 3:30. A. bet they would arrive before 9. My sister had 9:17pm, I picked after 10pm. I think I might be the winner.
So now we have family arriving well after their scheduled time. Add to that, 2 toddlers who in the past 2 weeks have not slept past 530am. Not even on weekends. So now we get to stay up late and wait for them. Then get up early while they sleep. My sister would getup when we get up, since she is coming to see the kids - she works around their schedule. My SIL, not so much. She offered to make us breakfast...sometime after 830am. Umm except I will have been up for approximately 3 hours by then. Gee thanks. Can ya?
Ps - She sent us a grocery list for her ginourmous ass. (And I am quite literal when I say GINORMOUS!) She's also cheap as hell. A. thinks she will buy us a meal at some point. I beg to differ.
PPS - When she watched the kids with her mom while A. and I were at a wedding...she took a break. To read a book. Gee, you mean the kids gave you a break. No! The kids grandma did it herself...while she took a break. Because she was tired. Are you effing kidding me?
PPSS - Remind me sometime to tell the story about how she isn't a Godparent - and the hell and fury that decision caused in her selfish ass. Special.
I plan to have a glass of wine or alcohol in my hands at all times this weekend. At least my parents come on Tuesday...they buy me the liquor!
