Well I went and I survived. I about bit Grandma's head off so I just ignored her. It was 5:00 and no one was there yet. She should know by now that no one in our family is on time for anything. She was complaining and I said something and she got snippy so I said well you should just tell them that when they get here. She got quiet after that. She also said that she wouldn't be able to go out to lunch with me tomorrow because she was spending the night at my aunt's house tonight and going to church with them tomorrow and I said that was fine. In my heart I was like yippee!! She said maybe next week. I found out my family that is visiting will still be here tomorrow so at least I won't be alone for lunch tomorrow. I am enjoying my family that is visiting.

I left the gathering early so I could come home and save my sanity. My cousin Anissa had just got there when I left and she knew why I was leaving she knows that family gatherings stress me out. But I could have clocked her for asking why I was really leaving after hearing me tell her mom I was leaving to come home to take care of my cat. She asked if that was the real reason I was leaving. I thought Anissa just leave it alone. Now her mom knows I just use Tyger as an excuse to leave family things. I told her mom Tyger was outside and I needed to let him in so he could eat and she told me that he would catch a bird or something if he wanted to eat. I was mad after that comment.

I hate my family sometimes.
