So, what’s up?

Not too much going on at the moment, besides growing a Muffin, working a full time job, trying to finish my transcription classes, and trying not to lose my mind.

Speaking of losing ones mind, MD called his mom the other day (I’m sure you can all have some small idea where this may be going) and she was a little upset I guess.

Let me give you a little back story. I think I’ve already mentioned previously that when I told MD’s mom that we were having a baby, the first thing she said to me was that she and Mommie would have to be friends now. You see, MD’s mom and Mommie have not been friends in a long time. They were friends, until Mommie and I moved to St. Louis.

It’s actually and interesting story. MD’s mom and Mommie were friends, and everything was fine until Mommie and I moved to St. Louis. After we got there and we got all set up, MD’s mom turned into a totally different person for apparently no reason. I think she’s the kind of person who likes to have friends that are worse off than she is, because it makes her feel better. I guess when we got set up in the Lou, MD’s mom was mad because she thought we were now better off than her.

Anyway, she emailed Mommie and accused her of stealing one 25 cent can of cat food. Yeah, she said Mommie stole this can of cat food so Sparky could eat it, and now she didn’t have any food to feed her son’s cat.

She actually called Mommie a thief…over a can of cat food…. stupid, I know, but it gets worse from there.

Mommie told MD’s mom that she did not steal the cat food, and that if MD’s mom needed help feeding her cat, Mommie would be glad to send some food down for her, or some money for food. I guess this was not a suitable response and there was a little bit of tension between Mommie and MD’s mom.

Mommie pretty much ignored MD’s mom for a while, until one day, out of the blue, she gets an email. I got an email that same day.

The email I got was from MD’s mom, she explained to me that she had written an email to Mommie on my behalf, and she wanted me to be able to read it. It was basically the biggest load of bullshit I have ever read in my life. MD’s mom had written a long email about how Mommie was not a good mother. She said Mommie was a “bad role model” for me, and that she “wasn’t taking care” of me, and lots of other really mean things.

I don’t know what possessed MD’s mom to write such a thing, especially on my behalf. I have never felt once in my entire life like Mommie was not taking care of me, or not being a good role model.

I think a big part of why MD’s mom behaved this way was jealousy, I do. It’s sad, but after that the friendship was ruined.

I, of course, wrote MD’s mom back and defended Mommie, and then I told her I would never again get in the middle of their relationship.

Well, of course, the first thing she tries to do when I get pregnant is to put me in the middle by telling me that she needs to be friends with Mommie now. Her main reason for this is that she doesn’t want to get MD and I the same gifts for Muffin that Mommie is.

Okay, fine.

So, I told MD’s mom what Mommie was planning on getting us. I told her Mommie was buying me the glider and the crib.

Well, last weekend when MD’s mom was in town, she mentioned she wanted to get the crib (I think I wrote about this too) and we told her Mommie was doing it. When she talked to MD the other day, she told him that the crib would be her baby shower present, and he told her Mommie had already ordered it.

He said his mom got all pissy and mad on the phone because she “told us last weekend she was getting it” and now Mommie was.

I knew she was going to pull something like this. And you know what upsets me the most? That now not only did she try to drag me into the middle, she trying to do it to MD too.

Mommie told us back in March what she was getting for us. She said that she wanted to get the glider as a gift for me, and for Muffin, she would get the crib. MD and I told his mom about this, but she never listens to us. Now she wants to be all pissy because she can’t buy us what Mommie had planned to buy us.

I ask, is it a coincidence that MD’s mom picks the one item we told her Mommie was getting us after she told me that they needed to be friends so they didn’t buy the same things. She’s just playing stupid games and trying to manipulate MD and I.

Well, she’s not smart enough to be able to pull that off, all she’s doing is hurting herself. She won’t realize it for another couple of months, but she’s only digging her own hole. I refuse to put up with this kind of manipulative behavior. That’s one of the big reasons why I don’t want Muffin around my father’s family, and if MD’s mom thinks that I won’t keep her away from my son for the same reason, she really has lost her mind.

I don’t think she quite grasps the fact that MD and I with the addition of our new Muffin are a family unit of our own. Or maybe she does realize this and is just jealous again, jealous that anyone is happy if she’s not.

I don’t care either way. All I’m going to say is that she needs to be very careful about her actions. I am willing to eat a lot of shit from her because I love MD and that’s his mom, but it’s different when you have your own child in the picture.

Speaking of little Muffin, he was funny last night. He had the hiccups for almost 10 minutes straight last night. I love it when he gets the hiccups because I can see my whole stomach move, but I like it too because if he has them for a long time, he gets pissed off and starts kicking really hard at my tummy. He did that last night for most of the 10 minutes that he had the hiccups. MD thought it was really cool because this is the first time he’s really seen Muffin kick me hard enough to move my whole stomach like he did.

It was really cool.

I love this baby more and more every day, and I know it’s nothing compared to how I’ll feel when he’s actually born and laying in my arms.
