My not so quiet comeback

I held out as long as I could but I simply can not stay away any longer. I missed myLot and my friends here too much. Things have settled down here enough for me to use the computer (and do just about whatever else I want). There were a lot of arguments and even more silent treatment but in the end, I got my point across! I am still dealing with grouchy in laws (oh there are so many not nice words I'd rather use here) and this week is the most stressful of all in terms of the work schedule...s/o is on days so I'm on my own with the kids and FIL is on nights so he's here sleeping, 2-3 boys and a sleeping grandpa is NOT a good combination! Plus MIL is moody because of the lack of sleep...she still stays up til 1am or later like normal but has to be at work by 7am so she can leave early to have dinner ready before FIL leaves for work (because we all know the world would not go on if a man had to fix his own meal 4 times a month because his wife had the nerve to keep a job ) Anyway s/o has finally started to see that I bust my butt around here to keep everyone happy and that I get no respect for it, the least he can do is "allow" me to use my own computer to get some much needed down time...I say "allow" sarcastically as he has discovered that this is my computer and I have no problem deleting off everything of his and barring him from it if he wants to play those games. Ok...all I really wanted to do was let you all know I am back and see what I've missed but as usual it turned into more because you all are the only grown ups I get to talk to!

I am glad you are back! Things have been awfully quiet around here lately.... So, when are they moving out (aren't they moving out, or did that change?)

They are still leaving permanently in October according to the current plan. They are in and out a lot lately but this is one of those rare weeks when they are always here...they should be gone again all of next week though!

I know, I know, they are leaving in October so the trick or treaters cannot find them. Hang in there Foxy. You will make it. Just take a deep breath, and think of the fall and winter.

I thought mil and fil were moving out? I am glad that you are taking the power back, at least as far as your own computer. You are so funny, deleting him. Glad you did it. Welcome back. Let MIL deal with her own spoiled one.

Good for you! Everyone needs time to relax and if being on the computer is the way you relax you should be able to do it without it becoming a national incident!

Welcome back Miss FoxyLoxy! That is the way to show that stinking S/O who's boss! Good for you for asserting your ownership rights to your own computer and enforcing it. I wish I could have seen his face when he realized you locked him out. Grandpa will just have to realize that he lives with children and that they can't be quiet all the time. Stay firm Girlfriend! PS. I thought you were moving out of the in-laws?

Grats on standing up for YOUR use of YOUR puter. I do not have that problem as I am the only one addicted to games and myLot etc around my house. Families are so much fun. I am glad I am in my mid 50's and have none of these types of issues anymore. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

Welcome back foxyfire, I knew there was another friend that I haven't seen yet..If you had seen any of my posts, youwould know that I really haven't been active here since the end of May because our computer broke..We are still trying to get fixed, and in the meantime, I am on a windows 98 that is slower than anything I am happy to see you and had hoped by now that you would have your own place. Well, us mylotters are herefor you if you ever need to rant..

OH FOXY I'VE REALLY REALLY MISSED YOU!!!!!!!!!! And I'm truly saying this from the bottom of my heart! I've really been thinking about you and have been very worried about you since your last post to say goodbye! Welcome back dear friend and don't leave again! I thought "THEY" were leaving! Why the he11 are "THEY" still their? I thought you were taking over the house??? Please tell me that they haven't changed their minds and decided to stay??? I sure hope not!!! I'm glad you finally got through to s/o or should we call him sob!!! My dear foxy, you must stand up for yourself and your rights! You are one against that whole screwed up bunch! You have to take control and show those azzholes that you are a force not to be reckoned with! I know you have it in you and I know it isn't easy when you have so many people against you, but you have to do it or they will continue in their craziness! Please promise that you won't leave us again. You need to be able to talk to us so that we can keep you from going insane with group of loonies that you live with! I really did miss you so much foxy! I am glad that you are ok, please don't scare me like that again. I am sending you lots of hugzzzzzzzz, Opal

foxyfire glad you are back and that you finally stood up to your s/o now if you could just stand up more to your father in law and mom in law it would be great. Dont get into the mind set of your mom in law who has to bend over 'backward for the pa in law.You are somebody and not one to be walked over. You own your computer and tell the s/o to f off when you use your own computer. why are you living with' inlaws anyway? seems to me that getting someplace where you wouldnt be rubbing elbows all the time with them might help yuour marriage with the s/o a whole lot plus the kids too.
