full of crap

the ups guy just dropped off three more boxes. yep its from her again. if i receive any more boxes from ups, i am going to scream. ever since my mother-in-law sold her house, my house has become a dumping ground. unbeleiveable

ist there was the trailer load of crap she paid almost 1g to have driven down to us here in atl. she lives all the way in chicago. The lady called n told hubby that she was sending down somethings to us since she sold her house n would not be needing them anymore. acting like she was doing us a favour. i was like ok. maybe i there might be thing that i can use to finish decorating the 4th bedroom in there. the truck came, i laugh as i write. i went upto it, pulled open the door, took one peep in side, hissed, slammed the door n went back in the house. i just went in n told hubby that the truck was here n left it at that. He was like why didn't u just grab somethings n bring it in so we can start off loading it. I just told him oh u need to do this urself. he just shook his head.


anyways the truck stood out there for at least 3 more days before hubby finally had the chance to go get the stuff out since he's usually tired after work. i had to see the look on his face when he opened the truck so i went out there with him. he opened, looked in, then climbed in rumaged thru some things, came out n asked when's the next trash day, i just laughed.

so it appears that either all the junk that his mom had n couldn't get trashed she went ahead n paid 4 it to get sent down to us or she actually thot that we could use things like an a track player complete with the discs. u'all remember those records that our parents use to play back in the days. the lady hadn't even graduated to tapes yet let alone cds. old broken down chairs n tables. broken picture frames, a bike that she used to ride when my husband was a kid. common now haba! i am kinda a hoarder too but trust me only important stuff n my collection only lasts a couple of yrs b4 i get tired of the mess n just trash whatever has pilled up in the attic.

i guess hubby didn't tell his mom that he couldn't use any of that stuff cos when she came visiting a couple of weeks later, she was asking if we put up some of the furniture yet. i just said "oh hubby is taking care of that". and u know men sometimes they can be too real n blunt for their own good. she asked him n he flat out said " mom, i sent all that stuff to salvation army."
she did not even say anything. i bet u she thinks i asked him to.

Me first :) Hope your weekend was not too busy. Love the salvation army line. Unfortunately in my house, we are both hoarders. Hving a massive clearout and the idea fills me with glee. Clear surfaces at last.

Mothers always feel that their sons only do good things and that all bad things he have ever done were initiated by his wife! Have a great week
