SHE NEEDS TO GET A LIFE,OF HER OWN
Yeah, the older sister. She not only called me twice on Thursday but, three times on Friday. I didn’t pick up any of them. Well, I wasn’t home for two of them. It’s Angus’s day off, which I have told her about a hundred times now. She wasn’t scheduled to work from Thur. - Mon. Lucky me. After not being able to get a hold of me, she calls my mother and mentioned to her that she wants to have a cookout. No details, just she wants us to come over for one. Hum, she didn’t say anything about that on the answering machine. I know that it really isn’t going to be a “cook out”, she just wants me to bring the Aidan over to play with the boys. It really is a good plan, and part of me doesn’t blame her at all. I have been there (just not obsessive). Throw a non-sibling in the mix and there usually is less fighting between the siblings lol. It’s one of the reasons I didn’t mind doing daycare all the years I did. The more the merrier as far as kids are concerned.
My hope is that she is going to do this later in the day, and we won’t be the only ones there. Angus has to work until 5PM and I would feel better if he were there. It would feel less like just a play date that my mother tagged along to and bales after an hour or so. She never stays over there more than that unless she is babysitting it seems.
We will see how it goes I suppose. I do have an out if it sounds fishy when I talk to her later. I told my mother I made plans to help a friend with her fence (of course my mother told me she would take the kids over with her) and was going to let the Zoe and Aidan play with a couple of friends they know in her neighborhood lol.
I just can’t wait until we have our own place and a little privacy. You see they both call me several times a day on the days that the sister isn’t working. Which is is about 4 days a week. It goes something like this: The sister calls and if I don’t want to run errands with her my mother usually calls about ten minutes after I have spoken to her to ask what I am doing. When I tell her I have errands she wants to know exactly what places I am going to. It doesn’t take a brain surgeon to figure that one out lol. They both need to learn to be less obvious about it.
Angus just about busted a vain laughing when I showed him the caller ID to show him how many times she called and how funny my mother calls withing 10 minutes after. He still thinks that I should just confront them both and tell them to knock it off. Easier said than done lol. I have, on certain things, present and past, my mother just plays the , “whatever are you talking about” card. So I get nowhere with them. Let you know how today goes. And Kate don’t be surprised if I show up on your doorstep with two kids in tow to hide for a couple of hours!
TTFN
UPDATE: The “Cookout” is planned for late in the day. But no details on who will be there.
