Kelley, J & M came over last Friday night so we could go hang out with my family at my sister's on the Saturday before the 4th of July. Everything was fine, we hung out, cooked and went to bed, sleeping with spouses since Thurs was swap night. Saturday we got up, I made a big breakfast and Cheesemeister spilled a glass of milk all over Kelley's work laptop computer. Not awesome. She was really great about it and was not upset with him, though I think he wanted to die. So Cheesemeister and J spent most of the morning taking it apart and cleaning it. Luckily it DID start later when we got home...I was convinced it would never work again and we'd be dropping $2000 on a new laptop for her...WHEW! The "A" key doesn't work, but otherwise it's fine, so we ordered her a new keyboard to put into it.
Anyway, we're up there and after a couple hours I feel like Kelley and J are not having a good time. There's some tension with the kids (my child, my niece and M). So Kelley & J ended up leaving pretty quickly after dinner and I'm feeling like crap because I was really looking forward to the day and wanting my parents and family to get to know them better since I'd like to eventually share the details of our true realtionship with them ... My parents were fine, my dad played with M and my mom I think was fine (she's been known to be a bit snobby). My one sister (C) who doesn't know about it felt weird about them being there I think, since she felt like it was a "family only" type event. My niece and BB were being bratty to M and that upset Cheesemeister and me....we ended up talking to BB about it, and I mentioned it to my sister and she spoke with my niece. It just ended up that Kelley & J didn't have a good time, and that really made me sad.... So, the whole "coming out" thing strikes again.... would it have been WORSE had C known, or better? I don't know....
This past weekend we were Sans-kids. We stayed home for a spouse night Friday night and then Cheesemeister and I went over to Kelley & J's Saturday. J ended up getting a call for work and worked all day (poor J) :-( So Kelley, Cheesemeister and I all watched True Blood all day long, which was nice. We went out for dinner and brought something back for J.
So, a "wild and crazy" kids-free weekend was a fail, but I was just as happy relaxing and sitting on my butt all day. Sunday morning Kelley made a huge breakfast then went to the farmer's market and bought some tasty desserts, which we all shared (cause you know how we like to share). Bwahahaha. I ended up getting a text from S (my sister who was watching BB) asking us to be home by 2pm, so we had to leave there by 1pm. Much much much too short of a visit. :-(
It's hard to say goodbye to them when we have to leave.... like, super hard. So, I sit and fantasize about our commune..... one day.
