Dec. 29, 2005 - Oi
Hello to all. Well, my Christmas was pretty good. And I loved enjoying the warm, peaceful time with my family. Yeah right....that was the biggest lie on the face of this planet. At least for Christmas Eve, because my Christmas Eve really wasn't good. AT ALL.
Okay, my Uncle Scott and his family were visiting us, right? It was him, my Aunt Carla, my 23-year old cousin Judy-Jo, and my 7-year old cousin Greg. Alright, it's Christmas Eve, and we're planning to go out somewhere to eat. Okay, cool, I leave the living room where everyone is at to go to the bathroom. I come back, and my Aunt Carla is YELLING at my Mom, talking about how she has some big chip on her shoulder. Yeah, then Carla starts yelling about how Mom has been having some kind of an attitude the entire visit, that whole spill. And before I know it, they're in a HUGE fight. Then, my Aunt Linda jumps in, too, and Judy Jo. And I can't remember what Carla said to make Aunt Linda say this, but my Aunt Linda yelled at one point," You didn't just lose your father, Carla!" Now, at the mention of my Grandpa, that's when I started to cry. I mean, you know when two of your friends get into a fight, if you're a teenager, well it was like that...only it was adults. And, honestly, I was scared. I was honest to God scared. The whole thing felt so surreal. Well, Uncle Scott at a certain time asked me to take Little Greg outside, so I did. We were in that backyard for at least two hours. Since then, Carla and Mom were nice to each other. But, I highly doubt Carla and Judy Jo will be down again for awhile. I just couldn't believe the absolute venom Carla had towards my Mom...it was unbelieveable. Yeah, also, and I agreed with this, my Mom, Grandma, and Aunt Linda think that the only reason Judy and Carla come down here is to shop...and like I said, I can't help but agree.
Another thing they talked about, before I left, was last Christmas, Okay, my Grandpa was in heart failure practically all of last year. And he finally passed last April. Anyway, Uncle and his family didn't come down last Christmas, because, get this, Judy had to work and they didn't want to leave her alone. BULL! She was 22 at the time, and she had family in Anchorage. Not just that, but Grandpa was DYING! He was flipping DYING! And my Uncle Scott didn't even come down by himself, which he could've, and should've. It absolutely broke my Grandpa's heart last year when he didn't come. He cried. I myself couldn't even believe it....his father was dying, and in so much pain, but no. Scott couldn't stand to leave his precious spoiled little Judy for one f-ing Christmas! Unbelieveable....
So, yeah, that was my Christmas Eve highlight. Hell, when I was outside, I even called my DAD. I never call my Dad when I'm upset. NEVER! But, he did calm me down, so I was very happy for that. But, anyway, CHRISTMAS was pretty good, like I said before. Well, bye.
