So I want to get out of the house. I've been having a break down everyday for almost two weeks. So I decide to go see my fiance's family, a little vacation because they're nice and they have a pool. Weeks after I decided this one of my brothers is coming up. Let's explain family. I'm the youngest of six and aside from 1 brother, not this one, I don't see my family very often. Like once in ten years often. I don't call them. They don't call me. We don't send cards or call on birthdays. We don't talk. I play with their kids because my siblings are twice my age and their kids are my age. So my brother's coming up, my brother who ALWAYS brings his daughter so I don't feel left out. We don't have a lot in common, me and this niece. This time he's finally coming up alone. I'm out of town. Do I change my plans? Heck no. For what? Being the fly on the wall to watch him and my mom catch up? I'll be back before he goes again. We just won't be all together, me my two brothers, and my mom. Like I care. And to be polite I told my mom I'd be out of town, I'd be back on Tuesday. She throws a fit. I explain we aren't close and I don't care and she gets all pissy and says in that "I'm better than you" tone "fine be that way" As if I'm the most selfish person on the face of the earth.
meanwhile, my cats in heat. Driving me nuts. She has low platelets, so they can't fix her until we find out why. Which takes money. Which we don't have.
