That's right people, I am putting my foot down with the Fam this year. I have put up with too much of my mother's dysfunctional family, and this year there will be no more. Thanks to that decision, I will be spending Thanksgiving/My Birthday with out my family this year. My mother just might disown me, but I can no longer tolerate their continued disrespect for me. That's right my mother's family seems to have a problem with my morals and law-abiding ways. Apparently the Fam has forgotten where I work, and that I have a legal obligation to obey the law (Except speeding, I break that law everyday). Oh, and those morals really get in the way as well! My Dad gave me the lecture about "being the bigger person." Really...I thought that is what I was doing. I want to thank everyone for be so loving and willing to take me in for Thanksgiving. Oh, did I mention that Thanksgiving is also my Birthday...yep, this year is going to start off swell. And what I mean by swell is...it's going to suck. My immediate Fam will be celebrating with me on Wednesday, the day before my actual Birthday. I've always hated sharing my Birthday with Thanksgiving, but this year takes the cake...get it...takes the cake.

And we will celebrate on Saturday & it will be fabulous!!! I understand about putting your foot down, it has to happen sometimes. You have to put your own feelings first.
& people never forget where I work & they also don't let me forget! I get tons of calls from family & friends every week asking me what to do with their kids, their neighbors kids or their families kids. Don't get me wrong I like to help but sometimes I would just like people to forget.
I admire your honesty. I've put my foot down on Christmas this year- but I'm too chicken to tell them ;)
I'm telling my family I'm going out of town, but really staying here and celebrating with the people I actually want to be with.
Maybe next year I'll be brave!
