on lifetime no less.  Why do some families have to be so difficult?  Seriously?  This is suppose to be a happy, joyful season.  Well, when your family is frickin’ insane, it’s really the season for insanity and crazy.  I love my family, but they can totally drive me crazy and are such drama queens.  So, Christmas is always a drama of some sort as is anytime there is a holiday and we have to all attempt to juggle our lives and what we want to do.  Everyone has their own ideas and we are all very independent but we like to do things together yet we don’t often want to do the same things.

My mom and youngest brother run an ice skating rink–it’s outdoor and it is only open from mid-November to late February.  So 3 1/2 months is all the time they have to make a years worth of $$$.  They often can’t do much over the holidays as it’s their busy time.  I totally understand that and I think we all do.  But my other brother and partner are coming down and we all want to go to dinner.  We were nice enough to include my mom and brother in the invitation and OMG–was that the totally wrong this to do.  It has totally blown out of proportion and gotten insane.  I feel it’s a bit like that seen in Home for the Holidays and they all explode at each other at the dinner table.  Now, all I am wanting for the holidays is for them to be over so I can enjoy some peaceful time with my hubby and kids and without all the crazy.

Thank goodness for wine.
