Update.

So my inlaws are back.

Apparently, S (sis in law's fiance) was so drunk that he doesn't remember what happened, so basically he's screwed. In a he said, she said case, he doesn't remember anything. The roommate does, so that doesn't bode well for S. I guess there are 3 counts against him - totaling possible jail time and $300,000 in fines. He did have enough guts to call the brothers and apologize for what he's done to M and the rest of the family. He's going to a counselor and they are both going to go to a counselor. It doesn't sound like M is going to leave him, but we'll have to see what happens at his trial which is next week.

I'm just in shock of all of this happening. I'll admit, I'm a snob. Things like this happened to THOSE kind of people, never to us or our kind. We're the stereotypical "white picket fence" type family (as S used to refer to us). We don't have divorces in the family or other big issues like that - their all below the surface issues that no one talks about. I guess this is my reminder that while I try not to be judgmental, I am more than I think.

J's heart issues seem to come and go with busy-ness. It seems as though when he is busy (with good and happy things) he doesn't have issues. Right after we found out about all of this drama, he was having quite a few issues. On the nights that we're doing other things and distracted with pleasant stuff, he doesn't seem to have any issues. He has a family history of depression and hasn't quite been the same since Kara was born. It's not that he's overly grumpy or anything like that - he's just so tired all the time and is so overwhelmed with things he needs to do, that he does nothing, if that makes any sense.

I'm sure you're all shocked to hear this, but my weight loss hasn't been going so well. I was up another half pound last week and while I've been eating better, I haven't been recording. I'm trying not to be too hard on myself - I've been a little overwhelmed emotionally with things lately. I'm hoping I can get things back on track soon.

I'm getting over my sinus infection finally. It's been a pain being sick. There's no time for sick mamas!
