Horoscope

Virgo (8/23-9/22)

It's frustrating to be speaking the truth and still be doubted, but you must have the patience to wait for other people to come around to your way of thinking. Just stay consistent and make it clear that you respect what other people think (no matter how wrong it is). That way, when the people you love start to get an idea that you're on the right track, they can come to you without feeling like you'll give them any sort of 'I told you so' speech. 

I just had to share my horoscope for today since it is so apropos! Got a call from my husband's mother this morning asking me to go to her house for a mother's day dinner.  I asked her if her other daughter in law was aware of this since she had so nicely sent me a text message demanding I stay away from her at all times. I told her I didn't think it was a great idea that I spend my mother's day with people that completely ignore me & then start texting about how effed up I am.  I do not wish to spend my time being uncomfortable - is that wrong? She proceeded to tell me that I should just try to fix the situation & I told her I have various times:

1. Invited them over for Christmas - DENIED

2. Invited them over for my son's birthday - DENIED

3. Went to sister in laws baby shower where I was completely ignored & as a matter of fact a friend of my husbands recently asked him, completely unsolicited, what was his sister in laws problem with me because at the baby shower she came to the table & said hello to everyone except for me & was making faces at me behind my back - NICE

4. When at the baby shower she was taking pictures with everyone & avoided the table I was at so I thought...it must be because I'm here, so I'll get up & go to the bathroom so she can take her pictures & I'll come back. During this party, my brother in law was fine with me - talking to me, laughing, putting his arm around me, etc. A week later, he calls my husband screaming that I was a bitch & left his wife as she was trying to get a picture with me - WTF?????

5. Called & left a message (because they refused to answer the phone) stating that this situation was out of control & we needed to find a way to come together - Husband received a text the next day from his brother stating that he needed to speak to him & unfortunately it was not good things about me - NICE

So, am I supposed to continue to take the abuse & say..OH THANK YOU SIR, MAY I HAVE ANOTHER??

Grandpa...

He's not even my grandpa, he's actually my father-in-law, and he drives me CRAZY but I love the old bastard! He pissed me off to no end just last week when I got a call from his son (my dahling husband aka DH) telling me that I had to go pick up our son because his dad (who does it every day) couldn't because his mom (who has long been divorced from my father-in-law) needed him to pick up his other grandchild.  Well you may ask why I got so mad...my mother-in-law & that child's mother do not work! I work, my husband works...WE WORK! Two days later I found out that my mother-in-law had told him to pick up his other grandchild because she didn't want to go out in the rain! So tell his friggin' mother to pick him up and leave my son's ride alone! A week later, I had to take my father-in-law to the emergency room & was with him by myself for 4 hours until his other son (who's a total DICK) came & proceeded to completely ignore me instead of saying TY for being here with my dad & then I end up leaving once my DH came because I don't deserve the treatment. The next day, I get a call from my husband as I'm on my way to pick up my son to go pick up his dad from the hospital when I thought he had stayed home from work to be with his dad who doesn't speak English in the hospital.  My bad, I actually had a rational thought involving irrational people because my brother-in-law didn't go either.
