So, I got an e-mail from my other sister-in-law announcing that she and my brother-in-law are expecting baby number three. The e-mail also stated, "yes, it was planned" and "no, she has not been feeling fine"...
While not nearly to the level of obnoxiousness as my hateful little conversation with a "Sister-in-law A", it just adds to the feeling that everyone else's life has it goin' on while ours sinks further in the dumps.
First, there's Hubby's recent job loss, then the matter of the lousy unemployment benefits, the sick toddler, and... oh yes, the horrible pain of my wisdom teeth disrupting my otherwise peachy existence...
On the bright side, my oral surgeon father-in-law has graciously offered to extract my wisdom teeth at the "family and friends" discount of no cost at all. The catch is we have to drive to Oklahoma to his office and stay with them for a bit while I recover, but that won't be too bad.
I do have some reservations about being left alone with my father-in-law while being put under with the gas (or "truth serum", as he calls it). According to him, people tend to let loose and go on and on about stuff you know they would never in their right minds say to another soul.
He says he's used it, but he's never had ME for a patient...
My father-in-law is all right, but I had to warn Hubby that I harbor quite a bit of... um, shall we say, unkind feelings towards some his other family members. (gee, I wonder why.) I just make a conscious effort NOT to act upon it. However, it's still right there... just beneath the surface.... just waiting for an oppertunity to come out.
Oh, and I use the f-word a lot in my head.

Ouch - sorry to hear about your hubby's job loss (I'm unemployed too going on 4 weeks). When these things happen any good news relayed about others certainly does seem like an "in ya face". Judging from your last few posts, I'd say load up on the painkillers instead of taking that family discount because that truth serum will surely spout some blog-worthy stuff (too bad you won't remember them to jot them down!).
Good luck at the dentist ;) My hubby is a senior Dental student, and he says, yes, the gas is rumored to be truth serum.
Maybe your FIL could wear earplugs prior to the administration of the gas?
oh girl, I'm sorry you are having such a rough time. Hang in there!!
Oh man...wisdom teeth is not a fun project. I'll just wish you luck, and leave it at that:)
UGH. Maybe letting loose under gas might make you feel better. So sorry.
