Getting this one off my chest in The Kid Used To Dream

My mom planned our Christmas dinner with my sisters and the grands for tonight. It was originally for 3pm but she moved it. One of my nephews had to work so it was only right to move it down so he could join us.

For all of my life Christmas with her was on Christmas Eve. It was our day. Last and this year, since she’s on her 4th marriage she plans it for these odd days. Last year it was in January. Then, when I show up to these get togethers there’s always some odd family member that she invited at the last minute that throws everyone off for bit. Like, I love my great aunt on her step dad’s side of the family, but a heads up would be nice. Especially, when gifts are being handed out and they are sitting there. It especially makes it uncomfortable when that 4th cousin is invited and she brought her fiance and his little girl. Like - Lord, Jessy Francis (made that name up) give me a warning so I can hit the dollar aisle at the five and dime.

My middle sister and I have been texting today wondering what is going to change from the plan. Then, it happened. Mom sent a message that she was taking her step son to the DR because he’s sick. Oh, he’s also 30 something years old too… 🤔🤨

So, this party she planned she will less likely make and now will want to reschedule.

Imma tell her 12/20/26 may be available.

Am I the only one with such a screwed up family?
