SURPRISE!!!

Ah yes, it's that time again. It's time to bitch about my mother-in-law. I just don't know what to think of her anymore, I don't know if she is intentionally a bitch to me or she just doesn't know any better. I hope it's that she just doesn't know any better. Long story short, when T called to tell her about the 3rd m/c, her first reply was "I'm sorry, have they not figured out what is wrong with her yet?". Now that made me angry, implying that there is something wrong with ME. Of course, since she never, ever called or asked about the RPL testing from the 2nd m/c, she had no idea that so far everything I have been tested for shows normal, no issues, just bad luck. Second reply after hearing news of the 3rd m/c was to inform T that she was busy planning his sister's 30th surprise b-day party and then proceeded to fill him in on all the details for the next 10 minutes. Please keep in mind that we called her on April 9th to deliver the bad news, his sister turns 30 on June 30th, needless to say I was peeved and hurt that the 3rd m/c didn't even seem to warrant more of a reaction from her. When T called to tell her everything from the D&C went okay this time, all she talked about was his sister's party yet again. So in short, either she has no idea what to say about the m/c's or she really just doesn't care.

Fast forward to last weekend. She asks T if he thinks its a good idea to include me in the surprise 30th b-day party since my 30th will be at the end of July. T says no, he says it's not fair to ask us to split b-day parties. His mother decides to ignore his advice and tells the rest of T's family the party is for me also. I have an awesome brother in law who called me yesterday morning to tip me off about the party, I immediately call T to tell him what's going on and he is furious. After some calling around, I discover that his mother has not invited ANYONE that I know to the party, none of my famiy and friends were invited, yet it is a suprise party for me. Yep, I would definitely be surprised alright to walk into a room full of people I don't know and have them all yell "SURPRISE" at me, it would definitely be a shock. The party isn't even in the same town that we live in, it's about an hours drive, why in the world would someone think this is a good idea? Why would she think I would want a 30th b-day party that is nothing but T's sister's friends??? Seriously - who does this crap???????

T has since sent his mother a not-so-nice e-mail about the party so I am assuming it is no longer a surprise for me after that e-mail. Of course we still haven't heard from her so who knows, I guess I better be prepared for a room full of strangers to yell surprise at me on Friday just in case.
