[modoasis] the SECOND X-mas card nada sent/ganging family member

[Guest guest]

Okay, y'all. Nada sent me and my daughter Christmas cards before

Christmas. She wrote stuff in them but it was not bad - she thanked

daughter for something and thanked me for running out to get gravy when my

sister was over at her house during Thanksgiving, etc.

Well, this past week daughter and I got ANOTHER set of Christmas cards. So,

did nada forget she sent the first set or was there something extra she

wanted to say? Well, my card said nothing extra in it. But daughter's card

said stuff like " You can still come to my house to do Christmas. Better

late than never. I have presents for you. May Jesus and heal your

hearts "

Ticked me off, so what did I do? I mailed my daughter's card back to nada

with a note on it saying " If you want to mail cards, leave your opinions out

of them b/c we are not interested in your opinon "

Nada had a hernia surgery so my daughter did go over this past week to feed

the horses and stuff b/c nada can't lift anything. When I was over there,

nada asked if we could go to her house for New Year's Eve. She had bought a

DVD player, and can we go to church together this time? I told her I did

not even know when I was going to church and did not know yet what plans I

was having for New Year's eve. She bragged that she was going to go see a

friend on New Year's day,etc. She thinks her bragging makes us jealous?

Ridiculous. Anyway, she said one of my aunts who lives in Florida sent me

and daughter X-mas presents but when aunt heard from nada we did not go

there for X-mas, she told nada to hold the presents for next X-mas b/c X-mas

is supposed to be for family. I never did like this aunt, and to make

things worse, I did a little job for her and she owed me almost $200 and

never paid it. Nada's family is just a bunch of losers and nada can't

get it that we just don't want to be around her. What an idgit.

Although the carrot dangling semi works on my daughter (she loves presents)

I told her we need to have other plans for New Year's Eve. Unfortunately my

boyfriend is working so that's out. I may just go to my friend's house

that we went to on Christmas. She said they will do fireworks at her house

b/c they live in the country. Sounds good to me. And I do NOT want to go

to church with nada, so I ain't. Then she can go whine again to everyone

how I am so full of anger and hatred. I don't know if I am supposed to

tell her I am not full of anger and hatred - there are just certain people I

like to be around and certain people I don't. I am sure that would not work,

either. I will ask my therapist next Friday.
