If it makes you uncomfortable can you bring your camper and park it in the inlaws yard?

It seems a bit odd to me too, Vicki. That being said... life is too short. Your SIL is not going to change. You know that. So.... let it go (I know you will) and just be there for Chuck and the girls. Stay where you are comfortable.

Good morning, DDA!
We had a great, but way-too-short weekend with Kathrin.
I'm so glad. I bet it was therapeutic (and fun!) for you all.
That does seem odd. Elin had good advice as usual. I hope that the service goes as well as it can.
Deb -- any news on the job front yet? I hope you hear terrific news soon. And, everyone else currently looking as well!

It's been a whirlwind 24 hours. I had the interview yesterday morning which went well. I worked at the restaurant last night and the friend that has helped me get the interview at the oil company was in. He was under the impression that they were going to hire me and was surprised that I hadn't heard yet. Another gentleman came in that manages the big warehouse that my last company operated out of. I had stopped by his office the day I was laid off and told him to keep me in mind if any jobs came up. Well last night he asked me to email my resume to him as he may have a job opening at the end of the week.
Fast forward to an hour ago...The Oil Company called to offer me the dispatch job. The pay was lower than my last job and she wasn't sure of the insurance cost so she is going to see if she can up the offer and get insurance details. That job would start April 7 (on a friday
) It starts with 2 weeks vacation, 5 sick days and 3 personal days as well as discounts on fuel oil etc. Hopefully she can up the offer by at least a dollar per hour and the insurance doesn't cost too much. she said she'd get back to me by Thursday. Hopefully I'll know better what's going on in the other 2 positions by then 
At least I feel like things are finally looking up.
Of course Nick is home sick today and I'm fighting it too, but nothing I can't deal with.

Vicki - I have never heard of such gall, and I, for one, would be uncomfortable staying in the family home at such a time. However, Elin said it best, she's not going to change. Try to let things roll off your back, and be there for Chuck.
Deb - Sounds like things are really picking up for you. Crossing my fingers that the job offer becomes one that would be worthwhile to take! Good luck!! Hope that both you and Nick feel better soon.
Life moves on swiftly here. Alan was told he'd be flying to China next month to shadow Ambassador Huntsman (our former governor), as he wraps up his appointment, and comes back to the states. However, after planning for about a week, Alan was told that he wouldn't be going. They're going to send a photographer that speaks Chinese. He was pretty bummed about it! Today I got a call from him that they are sending him to New York City to do some behind the scenes at NBC. It's not China, but he'll still have a great time! The reporter he's going with is a lot of fun, so I know that they will enjoy themselves. I wish that I could go with them, but that's the kids Spring Break, and I had already promised them a trip, so that's that!

If you all could keep my friends Debbie and Dave and their family in your prayers, I would really appreciate it! As a teen/college students Debbie was always there for me as a mentor of sorts at church. I also babysat for their kids a number of times. Since I've moved back to StL they've gone out of their way to include me in dinners/outings they've hosted for their Sunday school class, etc. Today I learned that one of their daughters, probably my "favorite" in my babysitting days, committed suicide yesterday or today. My heart is sick and just aches for all of them. They are such a loving family. If I recall, this daughter had suffered from some issues - health and/or depression, I was never quite sure what exactly - but last I had heard she was doing better. Any prayers you could send on their behalf would be much appreciated, I know. Thanks everyone. 
All ok here. The kids have their spring break this week. A bit early for me since it's not anywhere near Easter. 
So far we have had 2 sleepovers & lots of movies. Kids are having a great time.
We've got triple berry & chocolate muffins in the oven & the house smells wonderful.
Have a great day everyone.

I cannot imagine the pain that they are in. Prayers said.

I have some fabulous news. HR called from the company that offered me a job and they upped the payrate by $1/hour and she sent me the insurance information. While the insurance will cost me $100/week which is twice what I was paying at my last job, it is still less expensive than Chris' insurance. It is an HMO plan, but it turns out that all of our current providers are in network so we won't need to make any changes. Insurance will start on May 1 so we'll have a month with no insurance, but we can always get cobra if we end up needing it. I will have to change Hunter's MRI, but I'm okay with it. The company also does a profit share bonus which can be substantial. 401K after 1st year. I can't see any drawbacks so if any of you do, let me know ASAP. I must say that I am feeling so much relief, reduced stress, excitement, hope.... I start work next Thursday.
