Why did I get this visual of male strippers when I saw the title of this thread?

Thanks. I wanted a more "Springy" look.

I own Magic Mike XXL...and have yet to watch it!

 I did too! Glad I'm not alone.

It's colder than it was over the weekend - high only around 50 - but it still feels springlike. It's wonderful.

Got the ok today to invite my mom's class for a field trip to the plant. They are looking for something different, and having an in with the president helps. They are studying commerce and manufacturing and the like.

Nursing a sprained ankle today. It happened yesterday and made me acutely aware of how often I stretch my legs in my sleep.

I lost my filter with FIL yesterday and called him a liar. He said that the reason BIL and SIL don't like me is because he told them I don't let DH keep any of his stuff. So I called him a liar. Because he is. DH has told FIL multiple times that he does not want all the crap FIL keeps shoving at him. Some things (like his autograph collection) he wants. Other things (like most of his toys) he doesn't. But, FIL can't accept that DH doesn't want to hang on to every blasted thing he's ever owned. So he maligns me to the rest of the family. Jerk.

DS has already had one time out today. He flipped his beanie over not being allowed to dump out the bag of animal crackers. Bag went up and he melted down. He went to time out. Boy was he pissed.

Sorry I forgot to check on you last night chef. Sometimes my feeble old mind goes. I hope you're doing okay. Let me know if you need anything.

DH is off running errands and left me at home. I have to make a pineapple upside down cake for women's group tomorrow.

---

 I forgot all about you saying you were going to check in. My FIL pissed me off and my mind was busy fantasizing about duct taping his mouth shut. He was in rare form yesterday.

I appreciate the advice. 2 Advil took the edge off. It's still swollen. It's at the point where it hurts enough to be annoying. I had stuff I wanted to do today that isn't going to get done. I'm keeping it elevated. DS is letting me borrow his chair to put my foot on. It's the least he could do seeing as how he broke the recliner part of the couch.

Oh, I hope you feel better soon, chef.

A cattle prod might be more painful.

I'll take a spork and a cattle prod. I'm not sure what crawled up his butt yesterday but sheesh. He commanded DH to not sell the stuff he gave him. For one thing, it was DH's stuff to begin with. DH can do whatever he pleases with his stuff. For another thing, he seems to think that DH actually wants all this crap and he lectured DH on not letting 'that b***h' (meaning me) talk him out of keeping his treasures. DH has told him time and again he doesn't want the stuff but FIL hears what he wants to hear and fabricates stuff to fit what he wants to be true.

Is your FIL mentally stable? From some of the things you post about him he sounds slightly off.

---

 My opinion? No.

I have zero qualification to diagnose him but I made an armchair diagnosis awhile back of narcissistic personality disorder awhile back.

 Gotcha.  I'm not qualified either & obviously (thankfully) never met him but I just get an off vibe about him.  And narcissist may be accurate.  He does insert himself in every situation or so it seems from your vents.

Oy he sounds miserable. Sorry you have to deal with that Chef.

Dh and my passports came today.. it took 2 weeks from the day we applied. Is that a record or what? We did not pay for them to be expedited or anything.

---

 Are you going on vacation?  My passport expired a few years ago & I haven't needed to renew it.

---

 Yes, we are going to Scotland in July. Everyone was telling me I was cutting it close because of how long getting a passport can take, lol. 

I've never needed a passport before now. I only ever went to Mexico when a birth certificate was enough to get in.

And yes, two weeks sounds fast, to me.

Hahahaha!! I just got a call from a heavily accented man telling me there is an infection on my computer that he can fix. I asked which one, we have five and Husband built them all himself. *click*

 I've had those calls. You really throw them off if you say you don't have a computer. I told one I couldn't trust computers and was even taking a big risk talking on the phone because HE might find me. 

I should probably find my passport, and figure out when it expires ... or expired.

I got it about 9 years ago, when I got this job, and almost immediately went to a national sales meeting

in Mexico.

 Passports are good for 10 years.

Ok. Whew. Glad to hear that. I don't like anyone treating you like that, my momma bear came out. Sorry.

I would 100% tell your MIL that you won't see her if FIL is around. He has issues and your sweet boy doesn't need to see/hear/be around that.

You can't even go to Canada now without a passport.

Well, you can, but the US of A won't let you back in.

---

 That is good to know. We used to talk about driving up just to go over the border so we could say we'd beenwhen we were young with lots of free time.

  My daughter and her husband went to Scotland a few years ago.  They had a blast and would love to go again someday.  I hope to go there someday.
