Bear and I returned from Vacation on Friday and we needed at least 3 days to recover from family / drama overload LOL...Can you say "bipolar ex wife with a need to control all things in the universe?" Needless to say, everything worked out- even with all the crying drama, poisoning on the kids minds by bipolar mama and her staging such a stunt that Bear was not able to see his kids on the actual day of Christmas.
Bear and I discovered that our mother's are long lost twins (both are about the same height, weight, hair style, mannerisms, they even dress alike and wear the same style of glasses). His mom is a Libra and mine is a Cancer.
We joked that if they ever met the world would be thrown off it's axis as they would either be two peas in a pod or go crazy on each other. Oh yeah, and both are totally into their religion- his mom is a Stormin Mormin and my mom is a Full on Lutheran LOL....
Our dads are also similar- both former Army (his is retired) and both are in law enforcement (although my father is retired). Both have the same temperment LOL.... His dad is a Scorp and mine is a Cappy.. my dad's words of wisdom when we shared the news of our twin mom's... "Well... think of it this way.. you are their offspring LOL".
Hmmm.... wonder how that will play out? LMAO....
We had a blast with both families and I dearly loved having Bear meet my two nephews. They adored him, especially the little Aqua who immediately sat in Bear's lap when Bear sat on the couch. I was followed by my little twin, the Scorp, that kept asking me about my cats and if they were having a party while we were gone LOL... I promised him I would write him a book about their adventures since he informed me that he needs to know EVERYTHING that they do. My scorp Sis-in-law told me he wants to get his own house and live with my cats so that they can have pancake parties LOL....
SO, Bear and I made it through our first extended two week vacation surrounded by family (with the exception of New Years Eve and Day since we spent that alone... hee hee). Even with all the drama we managed to make it into something funny AND we only minced words one time (which is to be expected) which did not last more than a half an hour LOL).
This week we will be heading off to Phoenix for another conference and time alone (seriously, it was great to be alone... he has one BIG family.... BIG BIG BIG Mormon family.. lots of kids.. LOL....)
