Wow a month without a post

Well, it's been a month since i posted last.  Crazy times here.  Still no positive EPT and we are at the 2 week wait again.  Easter went great here and now mother's day is coming up on Sunday.  Which we are hosting AGAIN.  I love to cook.  I love to host, but EVERY single holiday, birthday or occasion is held at me and Jerry's house.  Of course until it's mine or Jerrod b-bay.  Then his family can't be found!   I don't mind cooking or hosting holidays or events, what presses my buttons is that now it is assumed that everything always happens here!  I would like to discuss it maybe, since I'm the one that has to do all the cooking and prepping!  Jerrod doesn't seem to get it cuz he LOVES having his family over.   I tried to explain it to him this am, but he like"I like showing off the house and feel more comfortable having it here".  I felt like telling him then you do all the cooking!  MEN!   Now my parents are feeling left out and Jerrod doesn't seem to GET why.  First there is almost a 13 year difference in my parents(younger) and his parents(older) ages. Two, they have nothing in common.  Three, for my parents parties or than the 3 major holiday are spent going out to eat or to a movie.  And that's what my mom wants for mothers day.  To go to the new Star Trek on Sunday.  Now Jerrod's feathers are all ruffled cuz my mom was a little snippy and said something like well you'll just have to tell your guests that you have other plans that afternoon.  I don't see why we can't do both.  Jerrod wants his folks and sisters over at like 9am and the movie starts at like 2:30pm.  Are his parents gonna stick around for 5 hours?  I know I'm supposed to be a gracious host, but when can you tell people to get the F*** out.   I think that's what I'm going to do.  I'll tell his side that brunch is going to be at 9am and you have to leave by 1pm because I have other plans!  I'm to the point where I almost don't care about his families feelings anymore, I shouldn't say family, just his mom.  Who I think is worse than the mom from Everybody loves Raymond!   She is famous for those little back handed comments.  One of my all time fav's was when we were looking thru old pictures of me as a kid to put up for the wedding. There was a 7th grade picture of me and I was painfully thin.  6 months before I had my tonsils taking out and cuz the dumb doc did it wrong I could only have Jello and water for 4 months.  You'd drop weight too!  Anyway she says " OH look how skinny you were then, well maybe just work out a bit more and you can get back there"  Back where 90 some lbs. and before I hit puberty?!  Anyway that's my little vent for today. I'll try not to stay away so long next time.
