I miss my single days with my Swanson turkey dinners, I really do!

I moved to be close enough to my family but far enough to not be bothered....and somehow now they almost all live with me and I really can't stand it!

They are extremely LOUD!!!

I prefer to think of it this way - "If one out of five people is actually funky, look at four of your friends. If they are not funky, then you are the Second Funkiest White Man in America".

She's not grouchy... she says the things we're thinking sometimes.

BB is my girl!

why am I grouchy?

I dunno?

maybe it's cuz I can't have any peace and quiet in my own home. maybe it's that I'm raising a kid with behavioral issues and don't even like kids. maybe it's because I can't get any sleep because the family member residing in my home with no car or job or money has decided it's cute to yell and laugh loudly on her phone at 2-3-4 in the gotdam mornings. maybe it's because this isn't the life I wanted for myself, and I can't walk away from it, yet I can't accept it. maybe because it feels like I'm living my sister's life, and that life killed her!

I was already prone to grouchiness from birth and living life hasn't really given me much reason to feel any less grouchy. I am as thankful as I can be considering my circumstances....sorry if that bugs you....I've been acknowledged that the problem is entirely mine and not necessarily anything or anyone around me. I'm easily irked, I set up my life to be fairly people free, and right now I am bombarded with people....and LOUDNESS!

and no I don't think coffee or chocolate is going to help

sorry i was flippant. coffee or chocolate or both usually works for me. of course, there is usually quite a scene from my family members when they finally find me, hiding in the dark in the back of the coat closet, smeared from head to toe with chocolate, guzzling coffee. sometimes they'll use a tazer, sometimes they all have to join forces and pry me out of there, drag me to the Big Turkey Dinner table. where there is never enough chocolate or coffee.

BklynBabe said:

Enjoy! You don't get to see them often!

i hear ya. my family are all loud and obnoxious. we didn't have the full big get together like usual. the leader of the family ,my grandfather passed away in september. it was just my mom and me who went to my aunt and uncles...my aunt is bickering with my uncle,he storms out and leaves to smoke a cigar.the dog is barking nonstop. she starts crying about how great and thin poppop used to cut the turkey and how she cant talk to my uncle and feels numb and in shock from poppop dying. my mom starts crying too. yeah this thanksgiving sucked...my other aunt has my nana cause she cant be alone and everyone thought she'd go first and she says she feels like a burden to us and we should put her in a home cause she is gonna die soon. they were married over 60 yrs. yeah holidays are great!!!

i just wanna skip xmas like the last 2 years..i was sick..can't i lie and say i'm sick?

i got a migraine now.

I say you need to hand out some tough love and kick a few mofos out of your home if they aren't working and of age.... give em' 3 months to start coming up with some real rent.

Nothing worse than a family member that's not serious about giving back and just draining you of all your "support". I hate people that take others for granted.

Regarding the boy... God bless you and all that you're doing, keep showing that boy love and hug him often.

Poor baby. I know how you must feel, sweetie. But I applaud your ability to tolerate and carry on. Chile, I don't know if I could do it. Noise in general just frazzles my ass no end. Having to deal with loud and unruly teenagers would surely send me over the edge . Little kids may be more controllable because if they get too out of hand, threats of violence usually work. And if that doesn't work, I'd keep a supply of Nyquil or Benadryl on hand just in case. One lil spoonful to knock them lil mofos out just to get at least 8 hours of peace.

Where would your CE be up here? Maybe by that time I will have my "house in order" and you could stay with me to save on hotel and food. If you don't mind cats, and I mean cats with an s, then you're welcome to use the guest room and your own bathroom; you'd just have share it with the kitties' box (the bathroom, not the bedroom. Kitties usually sleep with me.) Don't worry though, I clean the box at least twice a day.

@ Shyra, If I didn't like cats, I would need a new profession LOL! I just don't like my loud silly cat (sometimes). I have the automatic litter box-that thing was a god send!!! Worth every penny. Thanks for the invite I may definitely consider it. It is a 3-4 day conference in May, but I don't know how much it will cost me yet to attend. If it is too high then oh well....I may still try to run up that way anyway next year...

Well it went as I expected.

Youngest was loud and silly. He's got his toy now (early birthday present) and is rying hard to make sure it is broken Can't wait to get him back to school tomorrow. He did have fun playing with the other little girl. The little girl that visited was too cute. A lil loud, but quite sweet. She warmed up quickly, which was good.

Middle one acted like she was going to do all this work helping grandma cook, she did some, but then slept all day and didn't finish what she started. Then had a fit that we finished it for her so I had to jump up in that ass like slow your fucking roll acting like you run shit in my home. Either finish what you start or be prepared for someone else to finish it and you not be happy about the results.

Oldest was supposed to help her girlfriend drive and could not maintain. It took them 16 hours to get here (it's an 8-12 hour trip usually depending on traffic) . I told her when she first said it that it was a bad idea, you can't be a sucky driver for 4 months, not drive for 2-3 years and then think you can do highway driving when you scurred. I asked her to kick out some money toward preparations. This bitch gave me $14! Then had the nerve to be going to Toys R Us and WalMart and Golden Corral...

Grandam is getting too old but still wants to be independent. But why she jumped up last week asking if it was a good time to pay bills. Really? Right before thanksgiving That I'm paying for on a part time salary, along with everything else. C'mon son.

Why we go to the club last night (free before 11!!) and the DJ sucked. We did put some Benadryl in the kids first though . Then when I left the club some ignant assholes called themselves being mad I was in the way and then tried to sideswipe us off the road. Anonymous call to 911 to report drunkenedd with a plate number was the method of retaliation we chose. Plus I'm used to avoiding sideswipers every day so it was no thing for my reaction skills. Why my butch ass niece scream like a bitch all up in my ear!!!

And yes they were LOUD. I will not get good sleep until probably Monday/Tuesday. We did eat well and played some spades and had a fairly good holiday overall.

I am definitely doing Golden Corral for the holidays from now on though....

oh yeah and why did I try to update my phone and it got all fucked up
