She called wanting someone to talk with and since I didn't have anything else to do I thought I'd do a good deed.<br /><br />About 20 minutes later, after realizing she was in a mood and doing my best to stay pleasant, we got in a disagreement over a particular subject. I didn't think anything of it but the next day I heard from my wife her mom had called several people complaining about me.<br /><br />Frankly I was a little miffed because when we hung up I didn't think anything about our disagreement. People disagree on certain things and there is no reason to get upset. After my sister-in-law called my wife and mentioned it again I started to get mad with me promising not to talk with my mom-in-law again. That's when I caught my wife laughing with her telling me why that's the reason they don't talk with her often.

It brought back memories of when we moved back at the end of December 2014 from San Diego area to Prescott, Arizona. Big snow storm predicted for the day of travel so we get an earlier start than we planned. Movers were going to bring the majority of our stuff but we rented a U-Haul for the basics until the moving van came. Was always ahead of the snow, but ended up past Phoenix on the road to Prescott at 3 a.m. and knowing we couldn't get the keys to our rental home until after 10 a.m. the next morning. We were saving money like crazy then, but foolishly looking back we should have driven into Prescott and gotten a hotel and gotten some hours of sleep, but no we pull over to a rest stop to try to catch some sleep. Impossible to sleep in that U-Haul, could not get comfortable plus trucks coming and leaving all night. It was then that I was so very thankful, though I missed him crazily, that our corgi had to be put down 2 days before Christmas. He never would have been able to tolerate the drive or the move (10 years old; cancer survivor but then it came back in a vengeance). Arrived in town to 6 inches of snow that melted within a day. Hope never to experience that again.<br /><br />How wonderful you moved closer to help with your in-laws. I find people who have hearing problems are really good at hearing what they want to hear, no matter how softly it might be spoken. <br /><br />We've been known to have soup on 110 degree days here in Phoenix. Pho is a perfect example.<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3677172151591739382.post-73971445020780346082017-07-21T20:00:15.420-07:002017-07-21T20:00:15.420-07:00You could definitely write for a sit-com Jimmy.
