The obliviousness of my husband's father, whom I struggle to call Father In Law, is maddening. He is Mr. Fucking McGoo. No clue whatsoever of the wake of destruction he leaves behind.
My FIL is "entrenched" as he likes to say in the writing of his book for the last few years. He is father to 3 scary daughters who speak neither to him or each other. Two time ex-husband with a trail of now angry ex-girl friends. This man sits confidently absorbed(and alone) with his composition titled.... wait for it..... Creating Joy: Leaving Fear Behind to Find Love. (Me: aiming finger at back of throat gagging and eye rolling with furrowed brow and head shaking in agitated judgment) Are you kidding me? So busy with this "manuscript"(more eye rolls), he will not visit his son for Christmas, the only child of his who speaks to or cares for him and who happens to have 2 small boys called grandsons. He wants to get it to the press before year's end. Like that will make the difference. Really? You are going to write a manual on "Love" instead of having some? ugh. I think I shall write some books also. Mine will likely be some of the world's shortest books. I too, shall write on things I know nothing of.
The following is a list of would-be titles by yours truly:
- Laid Back Parenting
- The Spotless Home
- The Well Rested Mom (which leads to my next title)
- My Interminable Sex Drive: 911 I Cannot Stop
- Putting Yourself First
- My Super Tight Body
- Priority Pet Care After Children
- Extreme Self Confidence
- The Accomplished Blogger
- What Now? On Efficient Time Management: When Its All Taken Care of.
- And with some of my remaining spare time, I just may pen a few on peace and forgiveness.
