Thanksgiving in Florida

Though you can't tell from this photo, the trip to Florida consisted of a lot of DRAMA (this is said in a high pitched sing song voice). I can't even begin to discuss what all happened because I still get worked up at the thought of all the drama. Needless to say, when you combine a group of people who are stubborn, judgmental, selfish, and in denial, it leads to a huge mess, especially as one person was the driving force behind it all. My personality traits are listed here as well. Even leading up to this photo, someone was still causing drama, though we can deny it for the sake of the camera.

I do have some fond memories of the trip. I cooked Thanksgiving with my sister and mom, which is a first. I played cards with my nieces, including a fun game of poker. Mom, my sibs, hubby, and I taught the girls how to play. I had an interesting conversation with my brother which helped me see him in a different light, though we have far to go. I hung out at Gators with my gals and niece, N. It was the first time I was able to spend quality time with her and sharing something unique for the two of us. Having the younger niece, C, run up to hug me and when I asked if she knew who I was, she exclaimed, Issa. Watching football with dad, as we always do. Hanging out with the in-laws, who love to feed us and remind us that hubby does have family. Seeing my BF, Michelle, who actually trusted me to meet the boyfriend. She'll be shocked to hear me say, he was personable and good looking. These were precious moments for me, but I seriously struggle with getting passed the drama.
