My mom and her husband are coming over for thanksgiving tomorrow. They are organic nuts, everything they eat has to be organic. It drives me nutty. So this morning I'm on the phone with my mom and she tells me she has to have organic potatoes and green bean casserole, oh and can I make an organic dessert. After back and forth about organic this and that I finally said, if you want organic go and buy it and bring it over, then I hung up. That just ticks me off. I mean organic potatoes? Give me a break.
Anybody elese have something to vent about? This can be the vent thread.

~ my sister broke down crying last night because this will be her last Thanksgiving with us. My question? Where the hell are you going? She is a drama queen...she acts like getting married is a one way ticket to Siberia!
~ NO MOM!! I can throw away my bottles of Riesling to appease you. I am grown! How many times do I have to tell you that? Besides, DAD (who purchased the bottles unbeknownst to her) wouldn't like that!
~ I don't want any overnight guests Thurs night. So why is MIL staying over? *sigh*
~PMS and the holiday
we have to have several Christmas's due to schedules of three kids in my family. So we have one for the whole family, cousins and aunts and uncles one Saturday already picked.
Then we have one for just the three kids. That depends on the oldest schedules.
Then we have "Santa" for my daughter.
why does the youngest get to choose which one he gets to go to and not the other one. Its my daughters Christmas for her. NOT HIM. He should not be there nor his dramatic new live in. That blows everything out of proportion. I hate not being able to sit around in my comfy shoes and nightgown all day so my daughter can open her Santa and them be there. My parents okay they are grandparents. Dot these two want to have Christmas to themselves its their first Christmas.
I know its early but we figure out schedules on Thanksgiving. I hope my mother can stand up and put her foot down. Or I will have to.

My birth mother has blown a gasket that we're not spending $1000 for our annual 'drive around Texas to see all the relatives too lazy to get off their retired as*es to come see us" trip. Money is tight and we'd rather buy our kids gifts. Mackenzie's birthday is Dec. 28th and she's spent almost every birthday IN A CAR. She's going to be 13 this year so we want to throw her an actual party. We expressed our money issues clearly to my birth mother. She screams into the phone "Well if you think I'm going to offer you gas money so you can go see HIS parents instead of spending the whole holidays with us, you're full of it!". (I don't recall asking for gas money). It's gotten so bad that my dad is secretly driving halfway to meet us in a couple of weeks at a buddy's hunting lodge so we can have a small holiday celebration without her knowing. My birth mother's parents adopted me when I was four because she basically dumped me off and disapeared for 15 years. NOW she gets pissed if I don't bow to her and treat her like "MOM". She tries to tell me how to run my life and how 'disapointed' she is with me because I don't cater to her. Did I mention she's self-centered? :) She's calling me daily and sending me emails about what a bad daughter I am for not coming to see her, for avoiding not being a devoted daughter to her and the rest of MY family.
Gee the holidays are already giving me a warm fuzzy....
