Time for a pre-Thanksgiving rant.

 

My two kids and the associated grand kids as well as my wife's daughter and associated grand kids will be at our house for Thanksgiving.... on Friday!  This year we agreed that my ex-wife would get to celebrate with my kids on Thursday.  

 

I understood that my wife's bunch were coming over from across the state on Wednesday, but at the last minute they decided to come Monday...ugh.  Those two grand kids are ADHD terrors on steroids, and their parents don't bother to discipline them.  (OK, they probably don't have ADHD, but the parents aren't doing their job)  Only takes a few minutes and our house looks like a tornado passed thru.  We worked Monday and Tuesday, and today was the first time in a long while I really looked forward to going to work!  

 

I need a drink, or two.

 

More to follow.

I'll join you for those drinks...  my sister has a 'new guy' this year that we know nothing about but she's mysteriously moved in with. She brought him along into my mother's hospital room, no introductions.. just brought him there. Mom was not pleased. I know she'll try and bring him along for Xmas, they're like one entity now. And I'll be expected to get gifts for a guy I don't know a thing about but a name (and he's old enough to be her bloody father!).
