I'm exhausted
My husband's grandmother and her toy poodle drove down from Indiana and spent the night with us last night. My husband and I have a one bedroom apartment so of course my hubby and I ended up sleeping on a blanket on the floor in the middle of the living room so his grandmother could have our bed. So miserable. I have the worst allergies so this morning my throat is killing me. I feel like I didn't get even a wink of sleep the entire night. My 2 yorkies were disoriented so they were up and down the whole night, I was sweating yet my hubby was freezing cold so we had to keep adjusting the heating/air, and it was just overall and completely miserable experience. To make matters worse, his grandmother's toy poodle has scratched up our very expensive leather couch that we got for a wedding present and I am very upset about it.
 We wanted her to leave this morning before hubby and I went to work, but she decided to stick around until I came home for lunch. So instead of going home to relax and spend time with my yorkies during lunch and possibly take a short nap, I have to go home and entertain her some more. Oh, and this is the best part, his grandmother suffers from Crohn's disease which causes her to pass gas involuntarily all the time, and it is so bad, it could kill a horse. Ugh.........Sorry to vent. I really LOVE his grandmother. But there is only so much I can handle of her.

Aaww Rebecca....DON'T YA JUST LOVE THE HOLIDAYS!!!! They would be so much fun if we all were rich with big homes that have plenty of bedrooms and if the relatives behaved the way we would like. And then the travel... expense .....Makes ya just want to stay home alone sometimes.
The holidays will be here and gone before we know it, so I guess we just have to suffer through it .......and the gas....LOL

Now that I've vented, I really feel like such a bi*ch for saying these things. I really do love his grandmother. I had the best time yesterday spending the day with her. I hope my grandchildren would do for me what we have done for her. I know she appreciates it and I know she had a great time staying with us.
And I really do love her little toy poodle. She adopted it from a rescue about 6 months ago. Her poodle has really really helped her cope since losing her husband of 55 years. He died almost 4 years ago and she is still so sad. I just get moody when I'm tired.

Don't feel like bi*ch!!! Sometimes we just have to vent and it's the little annoyances (like the gas..lol), plus the inconvenience just makes us all a little crazy sometimes. We all do! It is so sad when grandparents or parents lose their partners. They get so lonely at times especially at the holidays even though they are surrounded by loving relatives. Sometime...that's when they are the loneliest. You're a good Granddaughter-in-law. Treat yourself to some quiet time.

Well I called my mom to ask her what she thought about the couch and she said that since there was not a hole in it, that I could probably get some sort of leather cleaner or oil or something from a leather store and buff the scratches out. We'll see. Hopefully it is repairable.

I think that a lot of us are going to have "in-law or family" stories to tell after the holidays!!!
