Tennant, things are easier for me when I think about my children instead of me. Last night, I had to go to a middle school event right after a 12 hour day at work....and I literally had to yell at myself in the car "suck it UP Lillian!" just like you said in your post.
You have probably thought of this but, do you HAVE to ride with evil ex-MIL? Can you meet them there? I'm all about sucking it up for my kids, but there are times I do a "workaround."
If you do have to ride with her ~ bring a cross and some garlic!
