Heh, I could spend all day on my family and the next few days on my in-laws.

So since that is more depressing than anything, I'll stick to the funnyish stories that I roll my eyes about.

A few weeks ago my mother in law (whom I love to death, and is wonderful) shows up at the house. As Indi runs out to greet her she pulls from behind her back a 20 oz Pepsi and a big grab of Funyuns. She says, "Look what Nani brought you! If your mommy says it's ok..." So I either have a choice of looking incredibly mean and taking the treats that his precious Nani brought him away or letting a three year old have a huge amount of junk food that would make him hyper and miserable all night.

I chose the latter. Thankfully, he shared with Daddy, who managed to eat/drink the majority of it. But still, he's THREE!!!! Who brings a huge soda and bag of chips to a three year old?! She knows how I feel about junk food and that we don't keep it in the house. I think she really feels I am depriving my family. They have food issues though. I've seen her fry a cheese filled hot dog in an inch and a half of corn oil. And she's diabetic.
