Earnestly hoping for a bit of Thanksgiving good luck.
Tomorrow I am going down to Boston to see my in-laws and all their associates for the first time since my husband and I decided to separate. We're doing this for the kids! Their father and I have agreed to be on our best behavior but there is no guarantee & in fact very little hope that his family will be as restrained. Wish me well! I need the good vibes :scared: -Lisa

4. I appreciate it.
I've spent many years learning how to hold my tongue and I'm very, very good at it. However if "Mom" plays the religion card I cannot be responsible for the rest of the game and the STBE husband knows it. Mild-mannered though I may appear, I can be a wicked bitch when on the defense; hope it doesn't come to that though.

9. 'Just keep telling yourself....
(like Scarlet) "Tommorow is another day!" And hopefully they won't be part of it.

Best of luck, crim son! (You can do it!) :hug:

11. Ah, it's the full four-day long weekend.
Originally I planned to stay with my sister, but she went and had her twins on Friday. The guest bedroom is gone! Selfish woman :eyes:

22. That's not the worst idea, but I'll have to BMOB to do so.
Last Thanksgiving we were served vinegar. I am not kidding. My MIL was born without the ability to taste... there is no other explanation for what we are forced to eat and drink at her home.

24. I won't. The horrible anticipation has actually given the husband and I
a reason to bond. We will both be held responsible for disobeying God's will!
