My MIL is annoying. (A rant & update)

She isn't exactly my mother-in-law but close enough.  Jason and I have been together for over 7 years and she has been there too.  

Today she calls me and asks to talk to Zachary to wish him a happy birthday.  He was sleeping and I didn't want to wake him up.  So she says that it is going to be really hot today and she wants to get the kids and take them swimming (the two younger ones) and give him his present.  She said she would probably be out to pick them up around noon.  I should know better, she flakes on us and them all of the time.  She changes plans all of the time and does stupid things all of the time.  But I tell the kids and get them ready.  She calls at 11:45 and asks me we are ready.  We?  The kids are, I say but I am no where near ready to go anywhere.  I hadn't planned on it either.  I am having womanly issues right now and really had no interest in doing anything with three crazy kids that requires me to chase them around.  Which is why I agreed when she said SHE wanted to pick up the kids and take them swimming.  She says she is at her brother's and is planning on leaving soon to go to her parents (where the pool) and asks when we will get there.  We?  WE?  That wasn't part of the plan.  Whatever.  This stinks.  We are going to a block party around 6 and that was all I really wanted to do today.  I had no interest in going anywhere before that or taking all three kids with me anywhere.  I have no interest in going somewhere where I have to put the pool cover back on by myself while trying to take care of 3 kids and I have no interest in being ditched when or if her boyfriend shows up and she decides to disappear.  That wasn't the deal.  I am annoyed now!       

Ok...Jason called to say hello and when I told him what happened he agreed to meet us there after he got off work.  So I am going, only because of that!  His mom called again and asked what I was doing.  I told her I didn't want to go and waited to see what she would say.  She was like, "I guess I will leave now and get the kids."  Then I finished and told her that I was going because Jason was going.  She asked if that was a good idea to ask Jason to go since he is always really tired after work.  I said, "He was fine yesterday after he helped you with your computer for a few hours- he won't mind."  That made me feel better    :D

So now I get to go swimming (He is such a good guy sometimes!) and she doesn't get to ruin my day!
