Summertime blues.
Jun 20th, 2008 by B.
The girls are officially out of school now. At first I was excited. No school means not having to stick to a schedule, and I’m all about that. But then the requests started rolling in… can I go here; can I have that; will you make me this; can I stay out till 1:00 a.m.; when are we going to do that; can I have 50€ for a tongue piercing… I tell you, it’s never ending.
Normally at times like this I would concentrate on something fun I’m looking forward to- like a vacation. But each time I think of vacation, I think of in-laws, and then I feel even more stressed. I’ve already told Jim I’m not going to be nice the entire time. In fact, I think I’ll develop some brand new stress-related, turning 40 induced, hemmed in by the in-laws, uber-bitch trendy syndrome. One that involves random outbursts of inappropriate language and behavior because, hey, I deserve to have fun too. I’ll call it Seasonal Hyper-Intensive Tourette’s Syndrome … SHITS for short.
Mark my words… this will spread like wildfire. Pretty soon everyone you know will say they’ve come down with a bad case of SHITS.
Just remember, you heard it here first…

Two words: Heavy. Drinking.
Whiskey goggles will make in-laws more tolerable.

If only the weather would be summerlike. Glad you’re taking a stand this time. You were a saint last time.
I Love IT! I need to have a case of the SHITS during next week’s college meeting!

The house is quiet. I just woke up and stumbled to my computer to quietly read a few blogs. Came to yours first — and broke out in LAUGH! Now everyone’s pissed at me because I woke ‘em all up. This is, as my kids would say, “the shits.” And that means that it’s awesome!

HA!
B-if anyone has similar life with in-laws issues, it’s ME! Remedies for the SHITS thanks to in-laws, I sadly, do not have ;0) BUT 40 has been AWESOME so far! I can tell you that I turned 40 sitting in the Haufbrau Haus in Munich with the biggest beer AND pretzel I’ve ever been served…I drank that ji-normous beer so friggen fast, that I could barely stand up to walk out, WITH my children, husband, and parents in tow. THE BEST WAY EVER to mark a milestone birthday, I say, and while it wasn’t anyone else’s choice for how to ring in the birthday year it was mine. They all sucked it up. Literally.
We’ve been out of school for a week and G-d only knows how much euro I’ve spent since then…the coffers are significantly lighter at Casa H…be glad you only have 2 rather than 3 kinder!
GO TO MUNICH…HAVE A BEER…seriously. The resulting beer goggl-ing will make everything look and feel significantly better!
