Beating Head Against Wall ....

It is that time of year. The time of year it becomes impossible to avoid extended family members. This sounds terrible, right? I know. I am sorry. Truly. I wish it was different. My inlaws annoy me terribly. I want to feel differently about this. I don't. I can't. Grrrr..... I just have to get through it ....

One thing about my inlaws is that some things that are perfectly normal to them are rude in my opinion. They do not have a good handle on normal social customs. For example, they are hosting a niece's birthday party on my husband's birthday. Really? Why? Why that day of all days? It is a family gathering type of party, so why host a party for someone else on another person's actual birthday??? Really? Necessary???? No!

My husband doesn't mind. So, I guess it doesn't do me any good to be the one upset about it. So, I have to get over it. Again, very annoying. And so the birthday/holiday season kicks off .... Lord help me to be a good person and to do the right things.
