Meet the Nielsens

Now, think of my title being said with a grimace on your face and in a slightly harsh tone. Think of it from your mother in law?

So, we had our tax appointment yesterday and I have been super exicted until just before the appointment and then I worked myself up thinking I forgot something (I did, but it was okay) and I started feeling sick. I couldn’t get warm, but was burning up and felt nauseated. My CPA had a Vanilla Cupcake candle burning in her office and it made me feel even worse. Then, when we went to pick up Coltin, my MIL was making hot dogs for dinner and I nearly threw up everywhere. I went home and felt even more miserable with the shivers and no appetite for dinner. I even went to bed early (and missed Biggest Loser!) I got up today and felt better, but not great.

I take Coltin to my MIL’s at around 4-415 in the morning. I got there and apologized for rushing out of her house yesterday and she had the audacity to say to me, “You’re not pregnant are you?”

First, that is something my mother would say. I hate that. Worse is that I hate the tone used and the verbiage. Why not just ask if I am pregnant? Why give it such a negative connotation?

So, now I know that when or if we do decide to have more children (and I pray we do), I will probably need to find a daycare for both Coltin and a new baby because it wouldnt’ be fair to leave Coltin at my MIL &  the new baby in a daycare by itself.

This experience this morning really frustrated me and has harped in my mind all day long. Ryan even insisted that I was saying that his family hates me. While I never said that, I did let him know how upsetting it is to be asked that question in that specific way.

But, we are getting bank back from our taxes. Too bad its already being figured to pay bills unless Ryan is laid off (we find out Friday when they start handing out Warn notices at Boeing)
