Geez...Another YMCA story

Ok...There's so much I wanna blog about but I just think the stories would get so complicated! But here's one that I just have to tell. Again, it's about the Y.
Let me set up the story......
Last Saturday was my grandaughter, Natalie's first b-day party. Well, I'm divorced from "Ricky" , Natalies grandpa. Whenever my daughter Sarah (natalies mother) has any get-togethers, I'm surrounded by ex-inlaws AND the exhusband "RICKY" and Ricky's current wife "VICKIE" But it's okay. I love my ex mother-in-law "Sonja" and father-in-law "DICK". So here's a list of characters to help keep you straight. HA HA HA HA
Karen- me
Sarah- my daughter
Natalie-my grandaughter
Ricky- the evil ex husband
Sonja-ex mother-in-law
Dick-ex-father-in-law
Vickie-my ex husbands current wife

So we're at the party for my little grandaughter Nattie and I'm being oh so pleasant to all these ex's.... NO REALLY!! I WAS!! I started discussing joining the Y and Sonja says to me..."I'll bet that's alot of fun". Of course I have to tell her about the "not so normal class" and my friends Mary and Joyce. Sonja was literally in tears laughing and so I think, what the heck and I ask her to join the class. All of a sudden Vickie says, "I wanna go!" Now, do you remember who Vickie is?? My ex-husbands CURRENT WIFE. I am seriously at a loss for words at this moment. What does one say at a time like that? Something like "sure...I'd love to drown you...I mean have you? I thought it a little weird that I was gonna go with my ex mother-in-law but as I said earlier, I really love her alot. I know others would find that strange that we'd "hang out" but what do I care? But now to go with Ricky's Vickie? That was beyond weird!! But I thought she was just shooting the bull and really wouldn't go. GUESS WHAT? She called me tonight....SHE'S GOING. Tomorrow. Thank God it's the "not so normal" class but the "fairly normal" instructor lady is the same instructor every night.
To add to this, when I went to the "normal" class on Monday and "fairly normal" Dorothy and "fairly normal" instructor lady was there, a discussion started in the pool about women who have 3 plus marriages and their inability to ever be satisfied and always looking for excitement. (Needless to say, I looked away and started whistling a quiet little tune.) Wait till they get wind of who we are. Ex-wife, current wife, current mother-in-law,ex mother-in-law.
After some thought,I believe the Wednesday class is best suited for me. And my ex mother-in-law and my ex-husbands wife.
