Interesting math problem: If the arrival of KFed means that a house now has two grownups in it, and the departure of KFed results in the house having two grownups it it, where is the weak link, and should we all have a drink? Discuss, including cocktail recipes and tales of your best bargains ever.
Woohoo! *insert non-sarcastic jazz hands here* Really, I was offended when she used jazz hands for evil. C’MON LADY. Jazz hands should only be used for good.
Time to reward yourself with some Swistle mint brownies and a trip to clearance! Heck, while you’re celebrating, go for something only 30% off! It’s time to be WILD!!!!!
yay! you did a great job! woohoo!!! did i mention my mother just moved in with us, for, like, permanent? i’ll be sending my husband to your posts for advice.
Can I second Sarah’s comment that “You hosted a difficult person and behaved like an adult the whole time.” I feel like when I have a difficuly family visitor (ahem) I turn into a big whiner/baby about the whole situation. You really set an example of what it could be like. Thanks!
Whoot! Congratulations on surviving. I tell myself and maybe suggest to my husband that one of these MIL trips that I survive should result in something SHINY. I don’t hit her, call her names or evict her into the cold, I take the “constructive” criticism withhout retaliation and I don’t bad mouth her infront of her grandchildren. And while it may not qualify me for the Nobel Peace Prize, I say some reward would be nice ;)
YEEEEEEEE-HAWWWWWWWW!!!!
This is me awarding you a pretend medal of honor.
WHOOOOO-HOOOOO!!!
You made it, baby! Another visit down.
And you both lived to tell the tale.
I’m proud of you. You hosted a difficult person and behaved like an adult the whole time. Well done.
Hooray! Hope you do a celebration dance! I’ll do one for you too.
What Courtney said – only add Jazz Hands, please. :)
Congrats on living through it!
You did it!
yay for you!
FINALLY!! Enjoy today, it is the longest point in time from her next visit…lol
Deep, Cleansing Breaths!
Woohoo!
Alive, right? And your whole crew is still kicking? VICTORY!
Break out the salt shaker, chillax on the housecleaning, and plan your next outing to Target. You did it!
I’m going to have a cocktail tonight to celebrate. You know, out of solidarity. ;)
Time to parteeeeeee!
Congrats! Woot!
you made it…WOOT!
doesn’t this call for some brownies?

Congrats on getting your house back!

YA-HOO! I shall do a happy dance for you. And for me, as my company left this morning as well. We’re freeeeeeee. We’re freeeeeeeeeeee.
WOOT
Break out the good champagne! You deserve a mimosa!
Woo hoo!!
Most people are suggesting we break out the drinks… but I do believe the more appropriate thing to say is:
Now you can sober up!!
;-)
Yay, now you can party all you want!!! (by party, I mean shop to your hearts content)
woo-hoo!!!!
Congratulations! You survived another visit! *jazz hands*
Though I am sad to see the end of the Things-She-Said posts, I’m sure you’re not. :)
YAY!!!!!
Well that sucks – now who is going to police your spending, parenting and cooking?
Have a drink and celebrate!

(Can I celebrate with you?)
You. Crack. Me. UP!!!!
Congrats – you made it through!
woot!!!!
And you LIVED to tell the tale!
WHOOO!
Total jazz hands and a big sigh of relief.
These comments are hilarious. Break out the salt shaker? Jazz hands for evil? Go wild and get something only 30% off? Hilarious.
I hope we still get some good MIL tidbits – the last day s are usually the worst in these parts.
Glory Hallelujah! Well done!
The best part of it, is that NOW is the most amount of time you have before another of her visits. Yesss.
yay! you did a great job! woohoo!!!
did i mention my mother just moved in with us, for, like, permanent?
i’ll be sending my husband to your posts for advice.
Hooray!!! *jazz hands*
Hurray!!!
LOL! You made it, and you’re still alive!

Your KFed and my KFed should hang. My KFed reads my blog. (Doh!)
Hooray! I am now anxiously awaiting the final recap.
Ding dong, the witch is dead; the witch is dead; the wicked old witch is dead…..
Please tell me it was with one of your boots sandwiched in her ass cheeks!
OK, I know it’s not, but I just love the image!!!! Congrats on surviving yet another visit!
Woo hoo!
I almost feel like I can weather anything my MIL throws at me now.
Thank you for taking one for the team.
and applause rang out all across the country…
OMG the jazz hands thing kills me. I’m so going to use that in my writing to emphasize things from now on!! (I teach jazz so how perfect!)
Congratulations!
Funny – the day yours left, mine arrived (but mine’s no K-Fed!). Glad you survived.
