Good Morning! Checking in here, been busy doing my "Hazel" routine in preparation of the visit from the MIL tomorrow evening. My plan is to get everything done this morning, and then spend the afternoon at the pool.

Tomorrow the Hazel routine shifts into overdrive.

Hi kathleen
what is your plan of action
to stay calm cool and collected
and space out while she is there ?
Love, Palo

can't you watch her torture your hubby
and sit on the sidelines

can you hang out at pool whole time with Candy
and let her be alone with hubby

when we lived in nyc all the family gatherings were my family
but right after we moved to tucson, there was a christmas party here at bill's sister's hubby's parents' house
bill's mom and dad came in from San Diego
so did his sister and brother in law and their son

I discovered I did not have to sit in the living room during the excited discussion about bill's job hunting prospects in tucson
it's not my family no one is emotionally involved with me

I went to the tv room with my nephew
and watched ''What's the matter with Bob'' on video

I heard them all torturing Bill in living room lol
