"mother in law" mother in law.... as the song goes...

ok so tonight i had a very funny time with my mother in law. i Love her how i love her. infact my husband gets some of his funny/irritating traits from her.

tonight justin's family's church had a cook out for the new year party.

well i spent the night with my mother last night since my step dad was away at the duck camp. when i woke up i went straight to ruston to go take my niece to a movie.

when i got back to our hometown i went by the church to see if justin needed anything. as soon as i arrived both my fil and justin told me to go an rouse up my mil.
they explained that when they left her at her house that she was in her pjs surfing on this very computer. i kinda chuckled.

so i go to their house and she has company. she has obviously taken a shower (wet Hair) and she is wearing a pj top and jeans. and shes talking to her friend.

i then get a text from my husband asking what is mom's status word for word.

i text back half jeans have gown lol.

so then she informs me (at 3:00) that she needs to go to walmart to pick up supplies for her potatoe salad. and im thinking wow its kinda late

so me and my cat marbles hang out while she gets dressed then i take her to walmart b/c her suburban is at the church.

we go to walmart and bless her heart she ended up buying me some socks.
anyway while we are in there i ask do we need to maybe buy some already made mashed potatoes out of a box and just make the potato salad from there?
she looks at me like i just said there was life on antoher planet and says my fil only likes her potato salad cubed.

so we go on and buy our items and drop some items off at the church. so we get home p probably around five after a stop at sonic to get diet coke and a splash of vanilla, and we start cooking.

for some reason growing up my mom was always in a rush so i was in a rush. especially since we were about to cook baked beans, rolls, tater tots, and homeade potato salad.

well i start taking things out of the bags and helping and i then ask should i go ahead and peel some potatoes?? she says no just put the eggs in water and start boiling. so i do. then i ask again can i peel the potatoes an she agrees after i put the tator gots in.

i peel all the potatoes. while my mil is cleaning the sink instead of freaking out.

i then start getting texts messages from my husband asking for an eta. which is twenty minutes at this point.
then i asked if i could put the already boiled eggs in the freezer so that we can peel them faster as this is what i do at my house and she says no ill just run some cold water on them.

i then ferry food down to the church baked beans tator tots rolls.
when i get back i get a call from justin who informs me if we want to abort that we can b/c there are like three dishes of potato salad at the church and people are lining up to eat.
and my mil says no my fil only likes her potato salad.

but once back at the church i get phone calls from two or three people asking where are we? it is now around six thirty.

so finally the potato salad is ready. we get down to the church and i ask my fil about his infatuation with her potato salad. he states Thai the would have been fine if she had just made the concoction out of hungry man potato's . sigh......
