As lovely as it always is to spend time with my family, I believe I spent a little too much time with them this past week. On Thanksgiving day, we went over to my uncle's house, as we usually do every year. I had a great time seeing family and cousins which I rarely get to see. We chatted, ate and laughed, making it a great day overall. As glad as I was to see my entire family, I knew I wouldn't have to see them all for at least a while. Well to my surprise, I was blindsided when my parents told me we were all getting together again that saturday night! I couldn't believe. I would have to sit through another family get together two days later! Who thought of that idea?? Well as un pleased as I was, I knew I had to suck it up and get it over with. While sitting with my family saturday night, I kept thinking to myself what we could talk about. I mean I just saw this same group of people two days earlier and got asked the usually questions like "How's school going?" and "What are your plans after your done school?" While sitting there with a pretend smile on my face, I couldn't help but to glance at my watch every few minutes. I felt as if time was going extra slow that night. Eventually the time came where people got up and complain about the long day full of errands they had the next day and slowly started saying good night; while the whole time I couldn't be more grateful that this long and tiring night had come to an end. As much as I love my family, I just hope no one gets any idea's for a
post Christmas" get together!
