It has been so nice not having someone stomp around the house and fussing about any number of things, or just being rowdy in general. My sister in law and her boyfriend are away for the night and it has been a really delightful night thus far. No drama, no stress - good times. I think she was angry that we played dice tonight (I would explain but I rather not.. it’s just a game lol). I am not exactly sure what was said but my mother in law made a comment about her (sister in law) saying something along the lines of “you never want to play when I’m home.” This, of course, is a load of bull. I am always up for a game of dice, bullshit (card game people) or even Guitar HeroIII. In fact, I have asked my sister in law and her boyfriend on many occasions to play and they always turn me (and anyone else) down. Yet it’s funny, when they go to his families, they always have a game of at least one of those three things (or Rock Band). If anything, we should all be upset about it. Heck, on Jo’s birthday I had the entire night planned. It was going to be a movie and game night combo, with my sister in law and her boyfriend too. My sister in law and I sat down together and planned it all out. Guess what? They both bailed out, went out on the snow mobile to a friends to get their “fix” - if you know what I mean.

I know all of her problems stem from her boyfriend. My mother in law said that when she got with him, things got really sour with her (sister in law) and I can honestly see how that might happen. I’m sure the guy has good qualities but I have yet to see them in the time I have been around him. I think she would be so much better off without him, especially because I see things in him that I saw in my youngest sisters ex (who was hooked on everything in the world and cared about no one but himself). This guy has no motivation to do anything and I personally full like that has brought down her self esteem. If he doesn’t get his act together, I doubt it will improve either.

Ah well. Let her be upset. I honestly feel like she hates that Jo and I are here. Jo and I both get that vibe and considering the way she has treated me a couple of times in the last couple of weeks, I think she is pushing our buttons to make us leave sooner. But hey, you know what they say - you don’t know what you’ve got til it’s gone - when we’re gone, she’ll be sorry she tarnished the relationship, not us.
