Without going into too much detail and without trying to explain all of the crazy idiosynchrasies of my family, suffice to say that it's just too darned hard these days to deal with any of them.
Last night was one of those nights when you wish you didn't answer the phone or lived 500 miles away from anyone sharing your bloodline.
I wonder sometimes how hard it can be to be kind to those that are supposed to be family, your loved ones. Somewhere along the line, mine lost the ability to show that they care or maybe even care at all. They cannot focus on anything that doesn't directly benefit them. They can't empathize, they can't break free from that barrier and it kills me.
Enough said. Suffice to say that I am in a horrible mood today, one of those moods where you are so hurt and so angry that anything could make you cry. . . not necessarily out of sadness, but out of pure frustration.
So needless to say, I am going to be knitting and cleaning like a banshee tonight.

Why does it all have to be so complicated

Ah, families...you can't live with them, you can't live without them...but sometimes you wish you could at least be on different continents.
I always thought my family was completely normal until my husband pointed out their ideosyncracies (sp?). Of course HIS family...now that's another story.
Seriously frustrating!!! A wise person said to me once, you can't change them, so you need to change how you react to them.
Now, how to do that w/o tearing your hair out??? I'm still trying to figure that out myself.
Here's to your efforts in re-channeling your angst and frustration and to your sparkling house and finished knitting projects!!! : .)
Take care of you!
Big HUG{{{{{{{{{{{}}}}}}}}}}}}! Hope that your day gets better!
I thought it was "family, you can't live with them, you can't kill them." Sorry things are crappy right now. Hope things perk up!
I know what you mean. Can you believe that if I was to rid the world of there exsistance they would put ME in jail. Whod a thunk it???
