I had a semi-good day at work. It was rough and full of the regular stuff at work that annoyed me, but for the most part it was good. I got a resident that generally isn't in a good mood to smile at me and be in a relatively good mood for the time that I took care of her. Another resident and I made up a poem together as we got her ready for bed. It was a pretty good day.
Then I came home.
Sunday is the day my brother and his wife call. I'd sorta just got there when he called. Mom gets the phone first, then Dad, then usually me. So instead of taking my shower I waited around for the phone. My cousin, her son and my Aunt arrived and I went and took a shower hoping that the phone call wouldn't be over till I got a chance to say hello. I had to take a shower because I wasn't going to be in dirty scrubs around a four year old. I waited around some more, took care of the puppy. Eventually my dad asked if he wanted to talk to me, then kept talking to him. We had ended up outside and my dad went in. So puppy and I followed. Dad then asked if there was anyone else he'd like to talk to. Mom inisted he talked to me and Dad had to tell him that it would be rude not to talk to me. I got maybe five minutes where he established that he and his wife would like to borrow my buffy dvds. Then he had to go do laundry.
That I can get over. He's done it to me before.
The thing that is really upsetting me is my mom and I have been brainstorming up ideas of things we could do with them when they get in, to make his wife feel comfortable in getting to know the family. We were hoping to convince her to go to my cousin's wedding, because she has said she is too shy to go. Wedding in seven days! Well apparently they are coming in late Wed then early Thurs he is driving her to her family in Michigan. He'll come back late Thursday and then go pick her up when she's ready. She won't even be in town for the wedding. It's really odd missing the company of a person you've never met before.
