The World MUST be coming to an end.

1. Because it is raining.....for the first time since Feb. 2. My MIL called this afternoon for the first time in my daughter's almost 3 year old like span to see if she could spend the night. This is huge! Really I can count on one hand the number of times she has seen M in the past 6 months and she lives 10 minutes away from my house. I know it sounds bitchy that I don't take her over there...but I don't do it for anyone else and I'll be damned if I'm going to do it for someone that has more off time than me and that makes the other 3 grandchildren her 1st priority and then tells N and I about everything she does for them. Granted her daughter pushes the children on her and I owuld never leave my children as much as she does (like 2 or 3 times a week...for overnight visits) but it would be nice for my child to be recognized. It mainly just pisses me the fuck off...but it really hurts N's feelings. I mean my mother, his stepmother, and my grandmother (that lives an hour away) comes and sees M all the time. And yes, they get the first calls if we need a sitter. That might sound shitty but if people can't put forth an effort to see my child or even call and talk to her then I'll be damned if I'm gonna bend over backwards to help their relationship with her. N feels the same way but it's harder for him to admit because it's his mother. WHen she first called today I thought AH HA! Neil must have said something to her (we had a fight about this last week) but low and behold I called and he said that he didn't. You mean that she really did this all on her own? Wow....maybe this is a turning point.....or N's lying. But whatever works.
