Sherry had Saturday off and decided she was coming up to visit this weekend as long as she could find someone to cart AJ around to all the parties she goes to.
On Saturday she finally shows up at 3 or so after dropping off a friend somewhere in the suburbs and getting lost. We go out and get some margarita fixins and RAW grills up some steak. We have a good time just hanging out.
Sunday morning since it was time change, we used our gained hour to go to church. AJ is pissed that her mom wasn’t leaving in the morning and called my cell phone twice in church. Sherry’s friend that she dropped off was also expecting Sherry to come back and pick her up Sunday morning. Of course Sherry had other ideas and hung out with us until 5:00. After church we went to Quigs apple orchard for some quaint store shopping, hayride and lunch and then to Target where I needed to go get another cool floor lamp for my office since RAW took mine for the living room.
After Sherry left and we had a nice family time working on the pumpkins (see other post), RAW had Hollace sweep up some dropped popcorn in the kitchen. I guess she didn’t sweep the whole house or something and he flipped out on her. I came in and broke united parents rule #1, don’t contridict each other and went to Hollace’s aid who was crying on the couch. RAW was projecting his anger over how worthless Sherry’s kids are (they are lazy) and was being tough on Hollace so she doesn’t turn out that like. The thing is his yelling is exactly like Sherry’s yelling at her kids was and you can see how her kids respect that. I can’t seem to get through to him that getting mad and yelling at Hollace isn’t the approach to getting her do what you want. Dinner time is often fun because of this.
We have another big blow up while trying to get Hollace ready for her bath that wasn’t too pretty. In the end RAW appologized to Hollace, I appologized to RAW and I guess all is well. Well not really but good enough for tonight.
