Clarification!

So, just so you're all up to speed as to what's going on here...

I would LOVE IT if you all blog rolled me (if you do that sort of thing, of course!) I'm not totally hiding from the WHOLE world, just a select few...

The REASONS for hiding are few.. but here they are:

I had written two posts (months apart) in my old blog where I vented and/or talked about something that had to do with my in-laws.

In the first one, I wrote about how pissed off I was that my MIL had agreed to look after the babe 3 (or 4?) nights a week so I could continue working while the hubby went away, and then how she backed out of it for no real reason that she could give us. (She lives an hour and a half away, and was going to come stay with us for those few days a week to watch the babe, then she'd go home for the rest of the week.) I had expressed my anger by saying such things like "Why did she say something like that, and then take it back? Why even say anything at all?!?"

I got a VERY angry email from my oldest sister-in-law telling to remove the post. I did.

Guess where the MIL is now?!? How about STAYING WITH ABOVE SAID SIL TO BABYSIT SAID SIL'S KID WHILE SHE WORKS AND HER HUSBAND IS OUT OF TOWN! The difference? SAID SISTER IN LAW LIVES 24 HOURS AWAY AS OPPOSED TO 1-1/2!

Can you maybe see why I could be a *tiny* bit pissed off?

The second, similar incident occurred very recently. I wrote about an in-law's marital problems because I was all stressed out about my own stuff, and then spent the day with a crying, crazy 45+ year old. I kept the whole thing very cryptic, changing every detail and not naming names, even saying a "friend" instead of "relative", but after having had it posted for a couple of hours, I went back and deleted it, 'cause I realized (on my own) that it probably wasn't appropriate to air someone's dirty laundry where people they knew could read it... even if the details WERE different. And, not only that, but I had written it out, and had expressed my feelings, and didn't really need to worry about them being "bottled up" anymore ['cause you know, I wouldn't TELL (face to face) anyone about it!]

ANYWAY.. said in-law calls me up. This is how the conversation went (approximately):
Her "Take it off there, just take it off!"
Me "I already did, on my own, and I'm sorry for putting it there to begin with."
Her "Write about yourself on your blog, don't write about me!"
Me "I know, I'm sorry. I didn't use any details or anythi..."
Her (cutting me off) "(her daughter) called me up all upset and told me about it! You shouldn't have put it on there! And you said that I thought he was.... "
Me "I exaggerated and changed some details on purpose, I'm sorry."
Her "Ok, just don't do it again." Hangs up.

Me calling her right back "I just wanted to call you to tell you that I really am sorry, and I didn't just say it because you confronted me with it. And I had honestly taken it down myself."
Her "Ok, talk to you soon."

Later, I instant messaged her daughter on my MSN list. (she's a year younger than I am)
Me "Hey, why didn't you come to me and ask me to erase that entry if it bothered you so much, instead of going straight to your mother?"
Her "Because I didn't want her to read it and get upset!"
Me "Ok, so you didn't want her to read my blog, which she never reads anyway, and get upset, so you PHONED her to MAKE SURE she knew about this upsetting thing, instead of asking me to remove it...?"
Her "You don't understand the relationship my mother and I have, we're really close and it's not like I could have NOT told her about it."
Me "Ok, well, how about this: Why didn't you message me to ask me to remove it, just so that not anymore damage could have been done (such as other relatives reading it and figuring it out) and THEN talked about it to your mother instead of just letting it sit on my blog? Which, of course, it didn't do, because I already had erased it!!"

She wasn't able to really give me a satisfactory answer (it just kept coming back to "I HAD to tell her"), but by the end of the conversation, (there was much more) we basically ended on a happy note.

The next day, the in-law calls me again, while I'm trying to put the babe to bed.
Her "WHY did you put it on there? Just tell me WHY!! And then WHY did you get mad at (her daughter)??!!"
Me "I didn't get mad at her. I have to go, I have to put the babe to bed! I'll call you later!"

For the rest of the night I stayed on the phone with other people in order to keep the line tied up in case she tried to phone me again.

The next day (yesterday) I worked for most of the evening, and then L. stayed and we watched Crash. When the phone rang, I got her to answer it "just in case" the in-law called, and then later, (after L. had gone home) at 1 am when the phone rang, I did my best to sound like I was sleeping, in order to do a quick hang up if I needed to, but it was just L. canceling our plans for today.

Today, though, I called the in-law real quick to tell her that my hubby (and in this case her hubby too) were now leaving to go fishing. We didn't talk about anything else...

But.. THAT MEANS HUBBY WILL PROBABLY BE HOME WITHIN A WEEK!! And he'll have MONEY! And much like the last time he went away for an extended period of time, I'm expecting some good s3x!

Which leads me into the last and final reason why I've done this as a private, non family member blog.

If I want to talk about my husband's and my s3x life, I will. I don't think his mother really needs to know about it though! Also, if you're a regular reader, you might remember when I did my version of "post secret", well, it's not like the hubby and I were fighting or going through a rough time, but I'd hate it if my in-laws read stuff like that then start whispering to each other about our relationship! I'm not going to delete it on the other blog, but in the future, I'd like to be able to gripe about his dirty socks on the floor and his greasy pillow case without the in-laws coming to any conclusions!

And of course, there's that whole griping about co-workers thing!

And, just so you're not waiting for some more, juicy info, I'll let you in on a little secret.


My br3asts have deflated! Regular readers will probably remember how I recently wrote about buying new bras? Well, they don't fit any more.

I have lost my stripper b00bs! And I think they might even be smaller than they were before I got pregnant. NOT THAT I'M COMPLAINING!! It had actually been a goal of mine to lose weight in order to have smaller br3asts. (Smaller bras are much prettier and much less expensive and easy to obtain.) I AM, however, a little upset about how SAGGY they are now. I mean, I thought they were saggy BEFORE... well, HA! I didn't know the meaning of saggy!

But the small b00b thing won't last long though, 'cause as you know, we're going to make babies soon (God willing, of course) and my b00bs will be big again!

And with that thought, I will leave you for now. (There's still another post brewing in my head, but I might not finish it tonight!)

PS.. please note I've put silly little symbols in b00bs and s3x in order to not be hit on search engines for these words!
