Had another family party today- my godson's 1st birthday

But it also meant spending the entire day with my family and staying at my parents house- still here now. I'm taking time for myself and am out on the patio with my iPad "reading a book" while they watch tv.

My mom has a ton of issues with my family members and was stressed aboiut going. She thinks my cousin gave her some sarcasm but it's all in her head. I think she's being too sensitive but I'd be damned if I tell her that bc she won't listen to reason.

My parents are always talking and are now watching tv so loud (they are getting older). I just need a break. I think I'm so used to living by myself now and enjoying my quiet time...here I don't have that time to decompress and I feel like i have to be "on" all at the time. It makes me wanna scratch my eye balls out..literally.

Anyow, I don't wanna complain but I could use some support or suggestions on how to get thro the evening and into tomorrow afternoon. Its a big trigger for me...and I know on sunday night I'll be in a down place...just as a reaction to the weekend. Sigh...
