My Current Rantings {Probably worsened by hormones}
1.My younger sister-in-law and I used to be close. Then she got with these two friends and has stolen a DVD/Stereo from me. Instead of hanging out with me to try and see if we could be friends still, she ditched and went and slept with a guy. Then two weeks ago she stole around 80 dollars from her brother/my husband. The same guy that would do anything for her. Then she got into a bad bicycle crash and went to the hospital, and my parents in law swear she did nothing but call for James.
2. I don't know if it's because of me or because of James, but his brother's girlfriend doesn't want me to watch her kids at all. Whenever I bring up that I'm free for babysitting, she makes excuses like it would be a huge hassle for me. I can keep a 4 month old alive for a full night that's not mine, and I know that 10 month old babies are more demanding; but I'm going to be having my own soon. I'm not going to be able to avoid it forever. It's not like I'm expecting him to sit in a car seat and be happy. I don't know, but it's really depressing me.
3. This isn't really anyone's fault, since most of the time it's joking-wise; but I can't stand walking into a room or looking at someone and seeing them have guilty faces. I get really annoyed because I feel like I should be. After all, they're kind of expecting me to be annoyed, hence why they look guilty. This is an unimportant rant, but at least it's out there now.
Oh, and I have issues with sleeping, so I tend to spam places, not intentionally...

Ok, in order:
1. Your SiL sounds like a self-centered brat with delinquent tendencies. Sorry, but I have little sympathy for people who screw their families over, which is what she's been doing. I hope James gives her a lecture and forbids her from going to your place unless there's other people present.
2. Your BiL's GF... it could be she's terrified you'll go into labor on her, it could be she won't ask because she thinks you'll want to get paid for babysitting (believe me, a lot of people expect free babysitting *whining tone* "because we're faaaamiiiilyyyy..."), or it could be she's one of those women who are paranoid about their children's safety. Don't think too much of it.
3. I don't blame you for feeling annoyed at their guilty faces. I'd feel annoyed too if every time I walk into a room everyone else shuts up and looks guilty. I'd be thinking they're talking about me behind my back.
The sleeping thing, is it usual or has it been happening more as your pregnancy advances?

Poke Duckie 1. I'm sorry about your SiL. It sounds like she might be going through a hard time that she might not want to discuss with anybody if it sounds that bad. See if you can get maybe her parents to talk to her.
I honestly think she just doesn't want James around her kids more than me.
As for sil, I understand to a point. When she's the youngest of 6 children. She has nephews about 8 years younger than her, and I honestly believe that her parents were done being parents and ready to be grandparents. So, she feels unloved and unimportant.
But my sympathy only goes so far. She started hanging out with these new friends and drinking and doing drugs and stuff. My biggest thing is when she stole from me for her friends, she didn't apologize. Then as a "let's work things out" I took her shopping and bought her new shoes and stuff. Came home to my place to try to figure out what to do and she just left to go have sex with a guy down the road.
Then the last thing was that she stole alcohol from her brother. He has always been there for her when he could. He always took her out and bought her things when he had the money and time.
And then when he confronted her about it, she acted like it wasn't a big deal, that it was a big joke, and then she mocked him. I've lost absolutely all respect for her. She even mocked a cop when she ran away and got caught.
And her parents are kind of just "Whatever. She'll do what she wants."
I've told my mil that I'm not inviting her daughter to my baby shower. I can't trust her not to steal things out of my friend's purses if she's willing to steal from her own brother who would buy her the world if he could. Mil said she doesn't think that sil would steal money, but she still steals. My friends have expensive make-up and phones, not just money in their purses.
James told her that she was becoming an embarrassment to him, and that she needed to get her act together before her life gets ruined. She's 15. It's not much longer until one of her actions could lead her to serious trouble.
...This ended up being longer than I though.

Gigi Deveraux Digital Fiend Gigi Deveraux The sleeping thing, is it usual or has it been happening more as your pregnancy advances? I've always had sleeping issues, but I don't want to take anything right now. Even herbal supplements. Everything has such a controversy around it, especially if you're preggers.I'm asking because someone told me that as pregnancy advances your sleep gets more and more broken, to adapt to caring for a newborn. I agree you shouldn't take anything right now, except maybe chamomile or linden teas, those have been in use for thousands of years. (I think they work mainly because of the warm tea and soothing taste, but that's just me.)
And I'm fine with teas normally, but some of them even say "don't use if pregnant" and people around me can be just aggravating. I drank some green tea once, and someone acted like I was wrapping the umbilical cord around the kid's neck. {Green tea does help you lose folic acid, but I wasn't drinking near enough to do any damage, especially with all the supplements I've been taking}. I can't wait to be able to eat freely again. ^_^
