The year has started off badly, I caught a something 3 days after Christmas and it hasn't let up yet. I think it might be bronchitis, Blaze is right there with me but Thomas and Keith are fine. This has had an effect on my cooking resolution because there has been a little more eating out than originally planned. And Keith has had to step up and cook for us because I haven't had the energy to pull myself off of the couch. Except for the multiple wedding soup nights we have had something different most days. But this is really not why I came here today,I need to vent.....
FACEBOOK.....
I love facebook and I hate it, I love it because I get to see and or hear what is going on in my friends (old and new) and families lives. Pictures of beautiful children, pets, homes,etc. Now a little background on the issue of the day...I come from a large family (even though I'm an only child,well sort of) 7 siblings had 17 kids that is a lot of cousins. Well if I'm honest there are actually 18 of us I have a half sister but she really doesn't count because she has never really been part of the family. We are spread out in years and miles and it has been decades since we have been close. This past summer we has a reunion of sorts that two of my cousins worked hard to pull together. We had a great time, our kids played like we used to it didn't matter that some of them had never met. Now a couple of cousins refused to come for childish reasons which they made very plain on Facebook. I thought about deleting them, after all why are they on my page if they want nothing to do with our family? But I didn't, I don't know why. Today one has a post about how hard they worked so that their kids could know their fathers family, how much time and effort they spent to bring that long separated family back together. Really? But they had the opportunity for their children to meet their mothers family and threw it away. I'm not even sure why this bothers me, I have the most important people in my family in my life, the people I would do anything for. I know that we all make choices and some people don't deserve to know me or my wonderful children. I know that some people have nothing positive to contribute to my life and should be left in the past where they belong. But still I find myself angry maybe even a little saddened by the situation. I know that there is talk of another reunion this summer and if I were making the guest list these people would not be on it.
