And since they *always* bring the same things up, you can usually prepare youself ahead of time, and build up defenses of some sort against that?
Wouldn't it be nice if this were so. (It's certainly not in my case)
I'm working on trying to control my time with them, and having an exit strategy before going in. My brain, she cannot be controlled. Put Tom in charge of an itinerary though? Whoa, Nelly.
Oh Steph, I was thinking of you on Saturday. We were at the Padres vs. Reds game and ended up with an extra ticket. I kept thinking "If only Steph were here, she'd really enjoy this game." The Reds WALKED ALL OVER the Pads this weekend.
I am EVIL.
Just thought I'd make that clear in case there was any doubt in anyone's mind.
She's the bug who could do evil, apparently.
Aimee, BWAH!
Did you love it or what?!
Steph, I hope you can find the coping mechanisms you need. You definitely weren't overly whiny. Sometimes, that shit piles up and you need to vent it or else. I know the guilt and the love gets all tangled up with the annoyance and it sucks.
I was coming home from visiting a friend at the hospital last night and coming back on the freeway close to my home exit, I see a group of about five or six guys riding motorcycles (crotch rocket, cafe bikes). One guy was flying out ahead of the pack while the rest fanned out into the lanes and held back traffic so the first asshole COULD RIDE A FUCKING WHEELIE RIGHT NEXT TO MY TRUCK GOING 70 MPH.
I called 911. I hate assholes who could get people--especially when the people is me--killed.
Did you love it or what?!
So much I can't even say.
Should I buy this bag right now? [link]
Aw, damn. I thought it would save the one I "built." I want one with silver on each side and pink in the middle.
So much I can't even say.
Yay! I knew you would. Did you find a babysitter ok?
So, on my evilness...I just wrote an RFP for family members to fill out if they want to make a proposal for our next family reunion. I'm making this so much work for them that I highly doubt anyone else is going to want to approach the planning. Hee!
