My family, like most families these days is pretty dysfunctional. I am the barely accepted lesbian, my sister is perfect in the eyes of my parents because she pooped out a kid and my parents have been divorced for almost 30 years. My father re-married a woman I cannot stand. My father has been in very bad health the past few years. Pretty much sums it up.
Ok, so I get a call on Friday morning from sister saying she and her family are coming down for a visit this weekend. Whatever happened to a little warning???? Then she mentioned she had spoken to my father and he would like to have someone drive him to this part of the country for a visit. Great. She asked which weekend would work for me and I told her next weekend.
She shows up Friday night around 8pm and has brought her husband! Normally when she comes to visit she just brings her daughter and we have a good time. I cannot explain why I do not like her husband. I seriously get along with just about everyone. When he opens his mouth, it is like nails on a chalkboard to me. He sleeps until noon, has lunch and then passes out again on the couch for hours. He is possibly the laziest person I have ever met. He does nothing to help my mom out unless she point blank asks for it. So, needless to say I was less than thrilled.
Saturday night I had ordered up the Lesnar/Couture UFC fight on PPV and invited over my boys to watch with me. My sister had said they were going to take my niece to a movie because they knew she would want to hang out with me and they did not want her watching fighting. I knew that they would be back around 9:30-10pm due to the time the movie started. What I never dreamed would happen is that my brother-in-law would just waltz into my house and plop down to watch the fights. Let me mention that my mother lives right next door. She was watching college football. Why on earth would he be so rude as to walk over and just come in?? It was a mood killer. We had been having so much fun until then. He sat there the rest of the night making stupid comments and ruining everything. Disaster. I wanted to stab him.
Today rolls around and I get a phone call from my father letting me know he was coming to visit me next weekend??? Last I had heard I was to drive to Oklahoma where my sister lives and would be meeting them there. He said, "Oh no, I want to drive through *&$^# and visit Gus." Gus is my mother's brother. She hates him about as much as she hates my father. Gus was in Nashville with one of his numberous girlfriends and decided to drive over to see my father. So now my father feels they are best friends and wants to visit him here. So my mother hears the whole conversation and is livid. "Why is that stupid son of a bitch visiting MY brother??? Did I ever go over there to visit HIS sister or HIS family????" This starts major drama and my sister's family packed it up pretty quickly and left. WHY COULD THIS NOT HAVE HAPPENED YESTERDAY???? Ahhhhhhhhhh!
So next weekend, I get the thrill of being around my brother in law yet again AND having my father royally piss off my mother. WHY ME???????????????????????????????????????

Wow, I should come over and drop a lot of F bombs and then everyone would be great. I didn't know you did not like your sister's husband???
He irritates me. I will just leave it at that.
