Let's chuckle together . . .
I can hardly wait for my dysfunctional family to gather at my house Xmas Eve for our annual celebration. I barely see my mother during the rest of the year and she only lives 15 minutes away! She has decided tomorrow since she is fighting with her 5th husband that she will show up at my house at 10 am to "help" me prepare for Xmas Eve. She asked me what she could bring. I told her German Potato Salad. She said ok can you purchase the ingredients and boil the potatoes tonight and I'll put it together tomorrow. LOL!! My dear sister who is 7 years younger than me as put me in charge of picking up her 7 mo. old daughter from her new foster mother and transporting her to and from my house. Sis has three kids. She lost them all to foster care because of her drug and alcohol addictions. I don't even want to go there.
Dad will need to be picked up. He is in late stage alcoholism and he'll just sit and sip his beer the entire time.
The good news is this crap use to bother me. Doesn't anymore at all. I kinda laugh at the absurdity of it all.
Been thinking next year I may book a cruise at Xmas and "get outta Dodge".
