Another Sunday, Another Visit

Another Sunday, another visit. We had a good time at ours (w/exception of a bad bad headache I've had all day) ...we went to Jillian's (an adult arcade/restaurant similar to Dave & Buster's) and had lunch and played games. The kids were taken to an outdoor flea market (not the best idea in my humble opinion due to the HEAT WAVE this area has been experiencing of late. But the kids like it because they know Linda will buy them something. It just helps re-enforce the idea they have that she's better because she buys them things. But that's another argument for another day.

Today's episode came when the kids were apparently hunting around for coke tops for me. I collect MyCokeRewards points to get free things like movie tickets. They apparently said they were collecting these for Mom. That pissed Linda off...and she fires back that "i'm not their Mother. She is!" Now somehow, I know that Elizabeth helped precipitate all this...she loves to stir things up like that. But still. And on top of this all, Linda had already been told by a stranger that the kids were horseplaying and needed to stop and she yells at the MAN that they're HER KIDS and she'll handle anything that needs handling. Oh good lord. I can just imagine she was talking to someone and the kids get to horseplaying and she never even notices. GROWLS. It's soooo unfair that she gets to put her name as mother on anything.
