So, my phone is ringing (I have caller ID) and I see that it is my ex MIL....so I answer it (I am now questioning my judgment!!).
Ex MIL has a friend who has two pairs of snow skiis that she is wanting to get rid of....we all live in Florida....and knows that we sometimes head out to Lake Tahoe to visit my Dad and we go skiing. (that has happened twice in 6-7 years). So, she wants to know if I want to "deal" with these skis. I say NO....we hardly ever go out there...and the last two times have been at summertime. And I just don't have the room to store them. Plus my ds snowboards when we do get a chance to do this.
Well, she doesn't want to take NO for an answer and is trying to talk me into this...by telling me all kinds of ways to "deal" with these skis. Take them out and leave them at my Dad's....like he wants to store skiis that will hardly ever be used....right??
Anyway, I get off the phone with her....call my ex....explain what is going on....so he says....well, then I will just take them....you know my MOM.
I am thinking...WOW you still can't stand up to her and say NO. Shaking my head of course!!
So, my ex is going to store skiis....that no one is probably ever going to use. Crazy I tell you....all because he can't say NO to his mom.
Now, here is something else....we kinda talked about other things a little bit...my ex MIL and I. Small talk....but one thing leads to another and she ends up making a comment about how I left my ex, and the reason being that I left him for someone else...
I am like WHAT???? Do you not remember me coming to your house and CRYING when I found out about his affair???? Do you not remember telling me that if I couldn't get over it that the marriage was over????
But I said nothing....bit my tongue (and it still hurts...lol)
But I realized that after ALL of these years.....he still comes out smelling like roses....he did absolutly NOTHING wrong.
It was ALL my fault.
NOT. But I did get a kick out of it.....and yeah I guess it bothers me a little...but there isn't anything I can do about. I am certainly not going to change their minds.
I am still shaking my head. Thanks for reading if you made it this far!!

I wouldn't have held my tongue. She didn't deserve the nicety.
