Today was kind of long and boring.
Long and boring is OK with me. Means no drama.
Except I stupidly called BIL in FL to tell him that we've been getting bill collection calls on his wife's capital one credit card. He said, "It's probably a fraud thing".
Uh, no. Because I was a bad girl and let them ramble on about the account before I informed them I was the wrong person.
They are 5 months behind on the payment. I even know the dollar amount, AND that it's over the limit and the card has been revoked.
YES I know it was wrong of me to do that - but I didn't tell them I listened to the person OR that I let them think I was her for a few minutes.
Nor did I tell him I knew he was lying to me. I just ignored his lie and said well, I thought you should know that they called for her.
Then I said I heard you had a baby boy and he said yea on the 7th and I asked how mom and baby was doing and he said good. And then he said she's out jogging right now -
wait! what? jogging??
three weeks after a c-section and a high risk pregnancy?????
He said, yea, well, you know her she wants to get back in shape so she's out jogging -
well, no I don't know her that well - she's never really made a point to even TRY to be friends.
I told him I had a c-section with our youngest and there was NO WAY I would be out jogging 3 weeks out - I was too sore to even ROLL out of bed, and you can't sit straight up without pain - and funny, I do believe I remember my Dr. telling me NO EXERCISE after the c-section for 8 weeks.
OH well.
There was a small conversation about what is going on here - and BIL let us know he pretty much doesn't care what happened, doesn't want to know what happened, and that it's all just family drama he wants NO part of. OK, that's fine - but then he said something about, "you can pick your friends and not your family"
to which I immediately replied, "Yes, but you choose whether or not to associate with your family."
He said, "exactly"
We hang up, and we go outside. Within a couple minutes we can hear FIL yelling into his phone.
Apparantly it's a big NO NO for us to call E's brother - because he called dad and read him the riot act.
E said as of today, he's an "only child".
So the whole family is on an "anti-family" campaign - and I'm just really tired of it all and am ready to pack up and follow E to Alaska.
