Sunday

Yesterday was a busy day. Sharky made many trips to the hardware store getting parts and pieces to repair the kitchen sink. Took a time out to do the tax thing. Had a couple of calls with Bear. Bug worked all day and got home late. Petunia went over BB's house for a birthday party/sleepover. She called at like 9:45 p.m. last night to say goodnight, they were having a blast.

As for updates on the FIL issue: Well, the shit hit the fan. Almost literally. I put my foot in my mouth but my beloved backed me up. *sigh* FIL reposted some crap from my asshat SIL that made it look like she lost a baby (she almost never posts anymore unless someone died and they've been dropping like flies lately). So, I said something nice and FIL went apeshit about my "sarcastic sympathy" and how would I notice or care about anything since I'm so busy spamming the world with "pagan crap", etc., etc., ad nauseum. Well, I posted an apology and then went to talk to Sharky about something else and started crying. He got it all out of me, everything, and told me to "unfriend the mother fucker immediately." So, I have unfriended the FIL & sMIL, the SIL and all 4 of her kids and all the assorted cousins. No messages, no warning, just click, click, gone. Just kept the niece from the bioSIL and the bioMIL, etc. Sharky basically said that I did a good job trying to be the adult here and agreed that I did not deserve to be dragged down into their sewer and if his father ever mentions it to him, he will back me up 100%. I thought the FIL would just lose interest or grow a pair, but I was so totally wrong.

What hurt the most out of all this, is that my father is just as nuts as my FIL but he's never attacked me like that and has never attacked my husband. In fact, I always thought my dad was the nuttier one. The only "negative" thing my father has ever said about Sharky was the fact that he was uncomfortable about Sharky riding a motorcycle (because of an accident that happened to my Granddad many years ago).

Oh well, I tried my best and hopefully that is what counts most...
