Friends are God’s way of apologizing for your family.
Hello my dear readers and Happy Monday to you all. Well three days to go my dear friends. I hope you are ready to rock and roll. I am doing much better because my babies are home and I have missed them so much. I am weird about my kids. I hate it when I am not with them. I can’t function correctly when they are not home. So they came home today and we did our cookie dough and made some cookies. It was a nice big mess but it is all cleaned up and done for the day. Tomorrow we move on to pies and cheese balls. Then we finish Christmas Eve morning. Well I am proud to say I survived this weekend. The many hours and perverts and I survived it all. I have a new rant that at first wasn’t bothering me but the more I think about it the madder I get. My mother called and asked me if we could make a stop at a relative’s house on Christmas Eve. At first my thoughts were “Crap another stop to make”. My mom brought up the “She is getting older and she might be around a lot longer crap”. So I agree to go by for a few minutes to make my mom happy. Well a little while later my mom calls back and says “You don’t have to go to so and so’s house.” I could tell she was crying and upset. I asked her what was wrong and she just kept saying nothing and just to forget about Christmas Eve. Now I know this relative and it didn’t take me but a minute to realize the problem. One of her daughter’s is pregnant and she didn’t, want ME to come around them since I was sick. Never mind the fact that I am no longer “sick” I have a hole in my back but other than that I am fine. At first I thought it was funny but the more I think about it the more it is pissing me off. I have never “fit” into this side of my family. They are all more educated and better off than I am. This doesn’t bother me really because it doesn’t matter how smart you are. All that counts is your soul and your intentions. However to be so “educated” they sure are stupid. If they were smart they would realize that I am not contagious but most of all they would realize we are family whether they like it or not. When my brother died I vowed that family would come first. So on that note all I can say is “Kiss my A$$ and Merry Christmas”. I just wish being “sick” could get out me out of other crap I don’t want to do. You know grocery shopping, bill paying, and work. I am not that lucky. So in the interest of the season all I can say is “Merry Christmas and God be with your family”. Off that subject onto the movie I am watching. We are snuggled up and watching A Christmas Story. I love this freaking movie. It is so close to reality of my family I love it. So I am going to let you go and prepare your last minute Christmas duties and enjoy my children being home and a movie. All I can say is I pray that “Christmas” angels smile down on everyone, even the uptight, “educated” people we call family.
