Foray into adulthood
For Mother's Day we went over to my in-laws. I made
roasted garlic potato salad
apple slaw
and fruit salad. We also grilled out burgers and my MIL had some little cake thing. I think my food went over pretty well, everyone ate it! I like chilling at their place just sitting around and talking.
My mom's bad off again because she got the rest of her upper teeth pulled and now has dentures. I used to think nothing medical related could make me queasy - I've now found that -anything- at all to do with teeth will make me turn green at the gills. So my mom's constantly complaining (and the whole time I'm thinking 'why are you so surprised, you always react badly to every single medical procedure you've had including the last two times you had a few teeth pulled') about how bad things are and showing me her gums and oh I just shudder at the thought of it. I went grocery shopping for her today. I don't know what to do - I don't really think there's anything that can be done except she has to get over her current 'infection'.
My BIL called while we were at the house and I talked to him for a few minutes. They are thinking about a winter wedding and it will be here in Madison. I thought for sure they'd have it in Minneapolis. He said he'd like to meet up with us when we are in the cities the beginning of June.
I finally talked to my dad's family this week (or maybe last) and told them I'm coming to the Twin Cities area in June and want to see them. My aunt is going to try and round up my cousins and their spouses and kids. It will be interesting. I think it will be more laid back then the last -family reunion- because mom will not be there stressing me out.
Two more weeks of work and then I'm off for 11 days straight.
