GP After the recital, he had about two hours to go home, shower, change, and get ready for his senior prom. To top off the day, it was also my 50th birthday.

GP Mrs P's extended family was in town to see Tablet perform as well as my mother. There was a whole lot of bidness going on Saturday.

GP After the recital at the reception, my MIL comes over to me (I am talking to my mom, Mrs P is nowhere around) and says she's made dinner for that evening and that we should be over around 6:00. So naturally I say I had no idea what she was talking about an we had other plans.

GP She then proceeds to tell me we're also supposed to be coming over Sunday for dinner and again I said newp because I had other plans. Both statements were true. For Saturday I wanted to go home and collapse and have pizza with Laptop, Mrs P, and Mom.

GP For Sunday, I'd already started marinating two flank steaks and invited my Scottish Quasi-Son/Younger Brother over for dinner. To say my MIL didn't take it well is a massive understatement. She said nothing, pursed her lips, turned on her heel, and stormed away.

GP Enter Mrs P. She's wondering what's up, I tell her the story, she also had no idea her mom had planned anything without consulting us on our kid's big day and my 50th birthday. I'm a bit irked with my MIL and perplexed all at the same time.

GP Mrs P goes to consult her visibly angry mother as my mother and I wait. Turns out MIL had (again, without telling anybody she was doing so) made two lasagnas and a couple pans of chicken french.

GP Mind you, Mrs P had already told me we had to have everyone over for dinner which I'd done on Friday. So it's not like Mrs P hadn't seen her family. No matter. MIL's still absolutely ripshit with me. It's been so many years now, I'm used to MIL's constant state of anger.

GP So last night MIL lights up Mrs P again so Mrs P volunteers me to make *another* dinner for everyone tonight, after work, and we don't have the stuff to make dinner. BTWs, MIL's put her massive amounts of food in the freezer so according to her, it's "unavailable."

GP I'll be taking off a bit early today to go shop for dinner then run home and prepare it on the early side to accommodate my wife's relatives. Then Mrs P and Tablet run out to yet another concert. He's not in this one, thank goodness.

I've got a small cabin on the back 40 I recommend that you high tail it out of there, come to the cabin, make yourself a camp fire, and just sit around and drink for a 3 day weekend

GP This is a good offer. I may take you up on this but can't this weekend.

many a time I've dreamed about loading the dogs up into the truck and just ... <gestures vaguely> driving north. No plan. This sort of craziness is not actually a huge win, I think? ...but the very thought of it calms me down at times.
