Well, here's the weekend update. Mike and I called his mom, Wendy, Saturday morning to see if she and Scott could go to lunch. He told her that we needed to talk about something and no we weren't preggers. She said, OK - how about between 12:30 and 1. Of course she was really curious as to what we wanted to talk about.
So, she calls back about 10 minutes later and says, "I'm really curious and NO YOU'RE NOT ADOPTING FAITH!!!"
We were STUNNED!!!! Not so much because she had figured it out, although we had never said anything about it to either of them before, but because she was so adament and mean about it!! OK - I was stunned, Mike was kinda expecting it.
She goes on to tell us that we can afford it, our house isn't big enough, we'd be wrecking Sierra's life, yadda, yadda yadda!!! I got so p*ssed!!! It takes me a lot to be pushed over the edge, but I finally said, So, someone else's family is fine, but ours isn't good enough?" (Hubby was SCHOCKED - in a good way)! She, of course got really defensive - it was horrible!!! Mike told her that we didn't want to have this conversation on the phone. Strange, she really want's us to have a baby - weird!!!
When they hung up, Mike called Scott, thank God, the voice of reason! We had a nice conversation - he mentioned that they had talked about the possibility before and that Wendy has some SERIOUS control issues. DUH!!!! He said let's let things cool down a bit and see what happens.
We had to go pick up the girls (Faith did still stay with us on Saturday). I REALLY did not want to go - to see her - to talk to her! But....I also was not going to let her think that I had backed down. So we went with big happy smiles one, made nice happy talk about everything else and then invited them to dinner.
We had an awesome time with the girls. Sunday we found out from Scott that heand Wendy had talked that morning and it still wasn't off the table. We could talk more about it at some point. Wendy didn't say a thing about it.
So........more waiting!!! BLAHHHHH!!!!
