You Don't Choose Your Family...

I have been here in Portland since Wednesday morning. My first day here was nice. I spent some time alone, thrift shopping. Then I had lunch with Shayla and her and I did some more thrift shopping. It was fun and relaxing. Every day after that has been annoying and frustrating. With little splashes of fun. My sister has been so stressed and grumpy that she smoked a
pack of cigarettes in less than 48 hours. That's a lot to me! My dad likes to have the answers to everything and that gets old...
The most irritating thing this whole trip has been the family expectations. Most people don't have both sides of their family in the same town but I just got lucky I guess. I have both grandmothers breathing down my neck. on Friday my mom's mom bitched at shayla because I had been here since Wednesday and hadn't seen her yet! Well excuse the hell out of me! She knew I was in town! I just have to visit everyone and do all of these things before I leave and have had no
time to just relax. That's what I hate about coming to Oregon. The time I spent with my family on Friday was interesting. I felt like I didn't belong. Like I don't belong in the Kuntzmann family or the Callaway family. I am just so ready for my own family. I didn't think they were funny, mostly annoying... but there are all these expectations.
I just can't wait to go home to Texas. Where it's hot! And my friends are, and my family aren't. And my BOO especially. You can choose a lot of things in life but you can't choose your family...
&&That's the Truth of the Matter..
