Family...Once a year

from JoeUser Forums
Family...

We see them once a year or so on my man's side, usually in Oklahoma. I'm reminded why I like alcohol. Ha.

They are wonderful, and overwhelming, and selfish, and generous, and self-centered, and focused only on others needs, and everything I am and love to be and hate to be.

Here it is in my face....

They're blunt. They don't hide their flaws.

Neither do I, at this point.

Well, I try. I'm the daughter in law, I have to....sometimes...and so do they.

So here we are....and then there's the silence...cause, see I haven't popped out any kids yet, and they seem to be the focal point of entertainment during those deadly silences that make everything seem more comfortable.

Let's break out the alcohol!

Oh lizard it sounds like you need to find a rock to crawl under for awhile. We missed you yesterday at Grandma's, all the cousins say "Hi." They all were there this year. Hang in there---you will be home in a few days. Go bask in the sun, find some good insects to munch on, and maybe things will look brighter!

Sorry..I miss you. If you were here, it wouldn't be uncomfortable...but we'd still bust out the alcohol. See you soon. Love, Rat.
