my blood was boiling tonight..

We drove home in an ice storm from my in-laws tonight. There were accidents everywhere. One of the accidents we passed looked to be fatal judging by the amount of cops and firefighters there. We were supposed to stay overnight again there tonight, but decided to drive home. Why in the world would we put ourselves and our baby in harms way to drive home from my in-laws? Because they choose to watch our nephew who is suffering from the flu at the moment. My mother-in-law asked me earlier today if I thought it would be okay if they went to pick him up despite the fact that he'd spent all night and into the morning throwing up with a fever. I told her no way would I be stepping foot in the house if he were there. I do not feel like getting the flu right before Christmas and the potential problems that go with it. She choose to go get him anyways. When we found this out, I sent my husband in their house to gather our things. I was not exposing myself or my unborn baby to the flu. When someone has a fever of 104 and has been throwing up, why would you want to be around that if you didn't have to be? Why in the world would his mother choose to go out to the bars and leave him with my mother-in-law and father-in-law? Especially since my father-in-law is on immuno-suppressant drugs due to his kidney transplant which makes him very susceptible to illness. I was so incredibly mad at her choice. She knew by picking him up that we'd have to leave. The kicker is that they begged us to stay because the roads were so bad. Corey told them where we stood on the issue and that they had made their choice when they went to pick him up. The whole thing made my blood boil.
I'm just glad we're home safe.
