I actually posted this on a truck forum last night when one of the guys asked what everyone was doing for Easter. Sorry it's gotten a bit longer since then.
Last night:
Well, we are planning on having dinner here & since hubby's brother went up north we figured that his parent's would come have dinner with us. Apparently they are waiting until they can have dinner with everyone Monday (them "we figured since everyone was off work", me "I work Monday", them "oh, well we'll have it late enough so you can eat too"). They are just going to spend the whole day at church instead of with any family. So all the extra food I had planned on making I guess I won't make.
Sorry I a little bitter right now since I found all this out less than 1/2 hour ago (at 4:30 last night).
Today:
So I am a LITTLE more calmer now. I am still making the roast (it is so big I had to 2 pans to cook it all) & the rolls. Not sure if I'm going to bother with the salad (it's just the bag-o-salad & I was going to cut soe tomatos. We'll still have the chocolate pie (which they might come over & have a piece before going back to church. Veronica was asking all morning when they would be coming over, I figured it was Rob's duty to tell her they weren't (he was asleep from being up all night). A little while after he got up she was looking out the door & said that she thought they forgot they were supposed to have dinner with us. So he told her he didn't think they were doing dinner wth us but that we were having it with them tomorrow. So he called over there & let Veronica talk (she asked if they forgot about having dinner) & she talked them into coming over for a visit before they leave for church again.
I just feel a bit bitter because they went down to Kentucky to visit her mom (who has been in a nursing home since having a major stroke earlier this year). She was thinking of not going because her sister told her that their mom doesn't remember anything after like 10 minutes. I finally convinced her that it was ok to go even if it was just for herself. I reminded her that if she didn't go & something happened she would never forgive herself for not taking the opportunity. Silly me I thought that after the visit she wouldwant to spend the holiday with her family some but no they just want to wait until everyone can be there. Man I feel like chopped liver sometimes. We even picked up a stepping stone for them Friday that say "God can't be everywhere thats why he made grandparents". It is supposed to be their Easter present. I kinda hope it makes them feel guilty even though I know that wrong of me.
Well, gotta go check my roast & probably start the rolls.
