Dad was put in the hospital yesterday, he's dehydrated again, kidney function is bad again. You know a person is feeling bad when they actually want to be admitted to the hospital. I have not been to see him yet, he was given a medication to either increase or decrease his potassium and that particular medication causes severe diarrhea. I called to check on him, thinking maybe I could come for a short visit but he was asleep after having explosive diarrhea. I decided to pass on the visit. I have talked with him this morning, he is feeling better and if he continues feeling well, I'll go up to see him today.
Of course today is Halloween so we'll be busy with that tonight. I'm such a slacker, we didn't even carve pumpkins this year, first year ever.
Oh well, I never professed to be super woman.
The office is quiet this morning, you-know-who will not be in today. I have to come to accept that this is just the type of person she is and it's not that she doesn't have any good qualities. She can just be so freaking mean. I used to take it personally, especially when JR and I were getting married. The things she said to me and about me were borderline abusive and I just internalized all of it. I was young though and she intimidated me. Now I just get pissed and sometimes if I feel it's needed, I go back at her. Like I said yesterday, thank God I don't have to live with her.
I guess I should go earn my paycheck.

I'm assuming you're talking about your MIL. I have issues with mine, and I definitely liked what you said about accepting "that this is just the type of person she is and it's not that she doesn't have any good qualities." That's a good thing to remember when she makes things extra challenging.
I'm sorry you've been so loaded with stressful things lately. I hope things calm down and that you're able to keep some calm and sanity throughout it all. Hang in there!
Is your boss also your mil? that would be very tough for anyone. It is just a lot of stress because of the dual relationships.
Shame your Dad is having such a rough time of it.....as for the other pain in the butt... not much you can do eh? She is a family member so it's not like you can throttle the woman! No matter how much you'd like to! Grin and bear it is all ya can do.
