Apprarently MIL was complaining to Ben about the kids.  (Very granmotherly, right?)  He flat out told her that we are a family.  When you come and stay with us, you do family things.  This is our life.  If it is a problem, we can call the airline to move her return ticket to a closer date.  He was sure that wouldn't be a problem.  

MIL stopped complaining.  Damn.

***** More specifics coming soon.  So many to blog about, so little time....  But, I am doing better so thank you!  AND I have had lots o sex with Ben since she has arrived.  Apparently adversity is a turn on for us, lol.  What doesn't kill us makes us stronger or in our case, more aroused...  We have been hiding in the bedroom a lot, hmmmm..... ************
