Today I stayed home and cooked all day. It was glorious. My sister brought my niece over this afternoon so I didn't have to fight with my parents to hold and play with her. I'm so glad she did because I got about 5 min of cuddles with her in 3 hours. Plus my parents were 30 min late, so dinner was cold by the time they got here. I find it disrespectful to me and my time when people cannot arrive when asked to. I hosted this dinner to prevent having to coordinate a restaurant and the incessant whining of my dad about having to go out. Instead they come late and play with my niece the entire time. I cannot think of one question they asked me other than where I found my recipe for dinner. I'm not really sure what I expected from them but I certainly thought more than what they provided. I guess I need to adjust to them being grandparents and once again finding my life to not be interesting enough. I went through this when my sister got married, and again when she and her husband moved back to WI. I survived and adapted to those situations I hope I can to this as well. For now I'll do what I've always done and rely on good times from my friends and co-workers.
To be fair my mom practically begged me to go shopping with her tomorrow. She realizes that I'm still on a strict shopping budget and that I need to get some rest this weekend, but she still asked, 4 times. Then she rambled on about how I'm spending a whole Sunday with my friends instead of them. I asked what we would have done and I could try to rearrange, and neither her or my dad could come up with anything other than going to the casino and a crappy restaurant for dinner. Yeah I think I'll pass and do things with people who show a genuine interest in my life. Plus I get to eat at 2 of my favorite restaurants and see my niece and nephew.
Now it's time to start 36 hours of sleep and couch time! I'm wiped out and it's 10pm. Off to bed for me!
