Like Sands Through The Hourglass…
Good News!!! We are going to leave the in laws for a post or two and focus on the ‘other’ soap opera going on in the extended family!!
This morning my brother in law got home from a romantic weekend away with my sister in law. Sounds pretty normal, huh? That’s where you would be wrong…and where this twisted ‘love affair’ turns Jerry Springer on us all! My brother in law is my brother in law because he is my husband’s oldest brother. My sister in law is my sister in law because she is married to my husbands MIDDLE brother!! That’s right folks! My brother in law is sleeping (and vacationing) with his brother’s wife! Woo Hoo, wasn’t that fun!
Mind you–all of their kids are screwed up! The brother in law has a son in jail for the umpteenth time, and the sister in law has two daughters (un-married) with two babies (different fathers), and honestly–it’s not hard to see that the apples don’t fall too far from the tree!
What in the world is my husband’s family coming too! It’s like drama everyday. Honestly, I should be taking notes and developing a night time soap opera to rival the likes of Dallas!! Sad…Scary and Sad!!
No worries…stay tuned, and I’ll keep you posted on this whole sordid freak show!!

Oh my! You could definitely earn money by writing a screenplay!
