Well its time for me to become the bigger person and end my Family Strike. Its been about a month since I’ve seen and/or visited my grandparents. And 3 weeks since I’ve seen/visited my aunt and her family. A few incidents occured not too long ago and its put distance between us. Which, those of you who know me, is unusual.
Sis and I have REFUSED to have any part in the family right now, but its starting to bother/hurt my dad, we noticed that last night. So even though I’m still a bit annoyed with the family, I will, for him, go visit this Saturday. I’m doing this for my dad and my daughters. The girls have asked why we haven’t seen the rest of the family lately. And that struck a cord within me. They’ve noticed. Damn. I don’t want to distance my girls because of my own stubborness, so off we go on Saturday.
Its really hard for me because I hold SUCH a grudge when I’m upset. Time to suck it up an move on. Ugh, wish me luck…

Thanks for asking, it went well. It was just us (my immediate family) and the gparents. So it was real mellow. We sat around the dinning table with them, had a few beers w/gpa & hung out.
Now we’ve got to see the aunt to really test the waters, but that won’t be for awhile. I’m busy the next few weekends so we might not see her til the end of next month. Hopefully by then Ang will not be so pissed & aunt will have her head out of her ass by then too. Me? I just want things to be back to the way they were…
