Family limitiations...

I haven't posted anything here in a few days. I think I'm bored. I seem to be able to log on, respond to someone else's creative thoughts. But come up with my own original thoughts? Sounds difficult. Last week, a couple of things wound me up...(dumb family) but, well who wants to hear how dumb family members can be? They say you can pick your friends (i've picked some winners) but you can't pick your family. Hell aint that the truth? Frustrating as all fuck!

Well this may infact end up in a grip session lord help us if I get started. In breif, last week the "family vacation" topic came up. Ya see last year my dad asked my sister her family including the fucktard fo a husband she has and myself to go on a "family vacation". I thought it would be a streatch for me, and it was, but it might be something worth doing in the long run. We went to the Texas coast, a 6 or 7 hour drive, spent 3 or 4 nights in a beach house. I survived. My dad and I ended up doing all the cleaning and all the cooking for ourselves, my sister, her idiot, the 12 yr neice, her friend, and the 1 yr neice. Let's say it was trying.

Guess what...they wanna repeat! WTF? They , the idiot bro-in-law and my dad, did all the planning...the dates kept changing...and last week they wanted me to commit. Guess what...Heather didn't. My dad called me after having talked to my sister and her husband seperated that day....wanting to know am i going? *it's April and they want me to commit to hell in August* My response to dad..." to be honest, at the moment I have a hard time spending more than an hour in my sisters presence, so no I am not commiting at the moment".

In my dream world, my dad acted concerned....tried to negotiate a workable solution. NOT. While I said this, a phone rang in the background, he says to me" ok then, just blame it on work. I gotta go get the phone. " I had full intentions of trying to come to something workable, we could drive less distance. This year they've planned on driving 8 plus hours. In one vehicle....

Later in the week, I did see my dad, and he did say maybe things would change between now and then. I also said that perhaps 2 vehicles would be another help. Of course, he was concerned about money. My comment to him was that me, sister, the idiot, him, a 2 year old, 13 year old and friend in one vehicle wasnt appealling. and that cost vs life time relationship did way in.

At present I am not going, and well I'm happy about it. I'm an adult, my vacation time is well earned and I'd like to enjoy and relax. Family time is good....but I'm thinking a weekend family trip can be a good thing...a family feasco is another thing.

They have yet to realize I'm an adult, who doesnt just follow. I'm giong to make decisions with myself in mind. Not to sound selfish, I'm just no longer a push over.
