Frankly, My Dear, I Don't Give a Damn

Why does everything that involves my family have to be complicated? All I was trying to do was take my brother to a birthday lunch. Next thing you know the entire family is in town today, so everyone wants to come. (Keep in mind that this was the same crew who never visited me on my birthday and didn't even call on my 21st birthday. They were sick. I should understand.)

I don't want to buy lunch for 4 people. Then the restaurant that my brother chose isn't open for lunch. So he doesn't know where he wants to go. (Never mind that he figures this out at 5:00pm yesterday.)

I'm trying to juggle our schedules with their wishes (which I could never hope to meet). I'm tired and grouchy (ask Brian :-). So instead of feeling like I had some good bonding time with my brother, I feel lousy. Especially because our conversations this morning consisted mainly of Yes, No, and Thanks.

I am so glad that you can pick your friends. :-)
