So you want to know why your Thanksgiving wont be as bad as mine huh? Yeah, you have no idea. In so few words I will try to explain to you the insanity that is my mother and the Thanksgiving she has created for her lovely family. Ok, first off you need to know my mom is having a midlife crisis (or at least i will blame this on that otherwise she just looks like a terrible person). She dated Eddie on and off for about five years. Eddie and my mom broke up "for good" about six months ago. There were problems that wouldnt go away and my mom had finally realized she couldnt make Eddie change. So, Eddie kept calling and visiting and trying to get her back. After about 4 months my mom had a new guy and Eddie left her alone for the most part. This is good...no one liked Eddie. We all knew he was bad for her and it wasnt going to work. Now she is with Skip and he treats her great...i mean really great. Everyone likes him, even my grandmother who still thinks my parents have a chance at getting back together. He takes her out, he likes her friends, he gives her space when she needs it, and is a really social, funny guy.
Ok, so Skip is having Thanksgiving with his family and my mom with hers. Out of NO WHERE my mom decides to invite EDDIE to our Thanksgiving (which will consist of myself, my sister, my grandmother and my mom). Where the HELL did this come from! After months of pushing him away, he final gets the message, she finally finds a great guy and then she becomes confused? She needs to see Eddie, she told me, at Thanksgiving because she is confused as to whether or not leaving him was the right choice. Oh thats great, lets bring your love life and social drama to our Thanksgiving dinner! My grandmother is 91 years old and HATES Eddie! I am sorry but that is just not right! She doesnt deserve this on the few precious holidays she has left in her life. Also, what is my mom doing to Eddie. The guy finally realised that he doesnt have a chance with her and moves on with his life just to get a call a few months later restoring his hopes. And then there is Skip, who Im certain doesnt know Eddie is coming to our Thanksgiving and would be pretty hurt if he found out. My sister and I will feel awkward during the entire day, but that's hardly my concern now. My mom has always cared for her own feelings before others, but on Thanksgiving, how rude!! Anyone want to steal me away to their Thanksgiving instead???

I'd totally steal you for mine! Most def! I mean ShaRen being together for Thanksgiving day would be awesome! (not to mention it would brighten up my life at the moment quite a bit!)... but you didn't need me to tell you that you are welcome and you being the wonderful daughter that you are will more than likely be there during Thanksgiving dinner... I'd recommend completely ignoring Eddie and playing cards w/the Grams? lol... but ya if you remember nothing else remember that I love you a whole lot, I mean you are my other half and kindred spirit after all
:D
You're welcome to come to mine. Also, does eddie know about skip? What do you think are the odds that your grandmother will say something about Skip? That could be interesting...
Now that you mention it, my mom will probably give my meme (and all of us) a good talking to before Eddie comes over to make sure we dont say anything wrong! Yea, that sounds about right...
hey lauren,
yeah..my parents are having their thanksgivings seperately for the first time, and my mom's "friend" ray will be at hers, and it is plainly really awkward. my sister and I have to deal with that kinda crap, too. I feel for you. I hope your day isn't too dramatic!
