Mother's day at the shore

Since my first mother's day was horrible to say the least I decided to take action for this mothers day and book a weekend away down the jersey shore and I am glad I did.  We had a wonderful time.  Of course as my luck would have it the weather was horrible because whenever and I mean every single time I plan something - anything - I get bad weather - but we had the most of it and had a really great time and with all the family drama going on it was nice to get away from it all for a weekend.

We went down on Friday afternoon - it was really nice that day so we hit the beach as soon as we got there.

My little bug loved it - I knew he would because he loved it last year - he played in the sand for a long time - the water was too cold to go in though but you cannot beat the view.

On Satuday it rained all morning but we just spent time him the room - Colin loved the room because it was basically babyproof and he could run all around and it was somewhere new for him to explore.  he even figure out how to get on and off the bed - and now he does it at home as well.

Once the rain stopped we headed to the boardwalk and went on rides with the baby - he was not crazy about the rides but he loved walking on the boardwalk.

Saturday night it rained again - but Sunday we got up and went to the park and had breakfast - then we came home and I was able to relax the rest of the day while John took care of Colin.

I hope everyone had a good mothers day.

It has gotten worse with the Inlaws - Sadly

I need to vent - I am so upset with my inlaws.  They have finally cross the line and I am done.  As I said in my last post - Dh's SIL is angry at me for taking C to a new sitter - well I guess that in turn makes the whole family upset with me and they are treating me accordingly.

Apparently the whole family went out to a carnival yesterday and no one thought to call us and ask us if we wanted to go - I found out by a bunch of pictures being posted on facebook - the ones that especially hurt were of grandmom and her grandchildren - well two of them - minus my son - it is hurtful that they do not want to include my son in these family activities.

So of course I said something on the photo - basically saying how I wish we would of known because Colin would of loved to have been there with his grandmom and cousins, etc.  Then I was lie to by one of the sisters saying they went on a whim - which I knew was a lie because DH found out that the carnival was a planned outting - so then I called her out on her lie and then I was told that I was overracting.  I basically just told them that the only one it is going to hurt in the long run is my baby boy.

I am upset because I do not really have alot of family so I wanted my son to be close to DH's family and have his aunts and uncles and grandparents in his life but I guess I pissed them off so they are punishing my son for it.

It is sad because I have made numerous effort in the past month since Colin started a new sitter to meet up with the family - I asked if we could some over the one SILs house and kept getting pushed off and then I invited the grandparents to my house to see Colin twice and both times they canceled.  They are the ones that are going to be sorry because they are missing out on a great little boy.
