I don't generally like it when people just "drop by" my house. Probably because its usually a mess and most of the time I'm not really presentable for company.
We had just sat down to dinner last night when the door rattles a little and in walkes.....my MIL. You've got to be freakin' kidding me! Now, we have a hard enough time getting Keith to sit down and eat dinner. He's forever getting distracted and he just doesn't want to eat and then 5 minutes later he's asking for a snack. Now just imagine the normal chaos of getting him to eat and add my MIL. WTF was she thinking?
Don't get me wrong, I don't mind that she comes to visit. (okay, well, in the very dark recesses of my mind, I do) But please please call and give me a heads up, okay? That way I can say, "oh you plan on coming at 5:30? Gee, that's dinner time, let's make it 6 or 6:30."
The other problem I have with this whole thing, KNOCKING IS POLITE! Do not just walk in my house! Yes, I realize that it does not bug me when MY mother does it. But it does really really really bug me when my MIL walks in unannounced. Actually it just pisses me right off.
The result of last nights unexpected visit? A grumpy 4 year old b/c he didn't want to eat, he wanted to play with Mimi, a grumpy husband b/c the 4 year old didn't want to eat, and a grumpy me simply b/c I just spent three days with the woman and really it was too soon for me to have to put up with a visit. Especially unannounced.
GRRRRRRR!
