The Journey

Party

Courtney had her graduation party yesterday.  It went well.  But there were some parts that made me upset.  First the good stuff.  The weather was actually pretty good.  It started off kinda glummy, but then shaped up to be pretty nice.  I saw some old high school teachers and my old high school principals.  It was great to see everyone again.  Mr. Woods  children are so sweet.  Karly and Kyle are the cutest 2 year olds.  Mr. Woods is still the sweetest guy, ever cracking jokes.  Good times.

Now, for the unpleasant stuff.  My cousin and his wife were supposed to come with their son, who is one.  But they didn't show up.  Their excuse, the baby is teething.  But he's been done teething for a while now.  They couldn't even call to tell us that they weren't coming.  His mother, my aunt had to tell us.  She too made me upset.  She drives 2 hours to our house,a nd only stays for like 45 minutes because she and her boyfriend have to leave for another party.   And she told us that she would be staying for at least 2 hours.  We haven't seen her in like a year, and she can't even give us the time of day except for 45 minutes!  That really hurts. 

I know that every family has a member like this.  But boy, can they ever be frustrating.  You would think they would want to spend time with us.  Oh well, guess one can't dwell on the things you can't change.

I woke up this morning with the whole food feeling back.  I'm feeling guilty for what I ate, or in my case, what I didn't eat.  I had like no sweets yesterday, except for some cookies last night.  And now we have cake left over, and I went down for breakfast this morning,and it was just staring at me.  I want it, but I don't.  I hate feeling this way.  It's just one slice of cake, I jshould just eat it and get over it.  But I just feel so bad.  These feelings are driving me nuts.
