My Role

In every relationship there are roles that people play and in our little family my role is to complain before going to each in-law family function.  Now I should first point out that I have excellent in-laws.  They are kind, they are hilarious, and they have never made me feel anything but welcome in their family.  But the fact of the matter is that I kind of like to complain sometimes and bless my little husband's heart, because he always lets me do it.

This past Saturday was an in-law family function day and while I did complain a wee bit before we got there, I must say that I had a wonderful day.  You see, my husband's family enjoys nothing better than sitting around in the sun, drinking some better, and chatting it up and since we had the first nice day around here in nine months I was perfectly happy to sit in the sun, drink some beer, and chat it up.  In fact, I can't think of anything I would have preferred to do with my day.
