Here's an epic day for you. My family is insane. I am so embarrassed right now just thinking about it.

I went to a funeral today for my mom's best friend. My mom and sister do not get along. However they seemed to be fine the past 2 days. I live locally where my mom's friend was living. After mom & sister left this afternoon to drive home on a 7 hour trip, everything blew up between them. During the course of yelling at each other in the car, my sister ended up involuntarily taking her hands off the wheel for a second because she was beginning to get sick, and then she ultimately pulled over to throw up. (I suspect it's due to medication she is on + hot weather + not eating enough). My mom? She said my sister's taking her hands off the wheel frightened her along with her mood, so she took the opportunity to walk out of the car down the road to a gas station, out of sight while my sister was still retching. Then, my sister decided to drive a little way on the highway to "test" my mom to see if she would call her to come pick her up. Well, they couldn't find each other. Both of them were calling me non-stop at my home 90 minutes away and I had to go on google maps to find out exactly where my mom was. Then I had to order her to stay put inside a nearby restaurant because she is 76 years old, she has a very bad knee, and I didn't want her standing outside in the heat. Meanwhile my sister's GPS was dying and not picking up signals well. She eventually found my mom, my mom got back in the car, and they were on their way. The last time I heard from them my sister was yelling at her to get off the phone because her loud speaking voice was distracting her.

I am suffering from insomnia, and at this moment I am lying awake to hear from one of them to make sure they got home ok and have not killed each other. There went my relaxing remainder of the day.

It's so sad. We were just at a funeral, someone close to us FRIGGING DIED, and they still can't go more than a day without fighting. They are 33 and 76. Grow the hell up. I am ALWAYS put in the middle of this and always get two different versions of the same story.
