I'm giving up the stamps, what more do you want from me?

In retrospect, I should have negotiated to keep custody of my in-laws in the divorce settlement.

I've spent the past four days camping with my ex-mother-in-law and family, and I realize more than ever that these are my people: fun, with just the right amount of crazy. I mean that in the most loving way possible. I really do. But hey, you can't blow dry your goodies after the shower and expect me not to call you crazy. I'm sorry.

Anyway, I think somewhere between child support and property settlement you should be able to negotiate extended family custody. Maybe some sort of barter system should be in place, where I could have given up my stamp collection in exchange for my mother- and sister-in-law. Okay, so I've never had a stamp collection. The point is, I think it's only fair that I get to keep the people I like in exchange for meaningless inanimate objects. It's only fair, I tell you.

I'm neurotic today because...
...I'd like to take the ex-husband back to court for property of his family.
