family's in town...eeep!
We are meeting my mom, dad, and middle sister for dinner today. Generally when they drive in the car together for the 2 1/2 it takes them to get here, my mom and sister are at each other's throats by the time they arrive. (mostly cause my mom is incapable of being quiet for longer than 5 sec. and my sister has very little patience for her). So everybody's pissed, and then we sit down to eat and try and interact like normal human beings. Recipe for disaster. As if the tension wasn't enough, my mom has dentures and she REFUSES to wear them most of the time, especially when we're eating, which isn't the most appetizing thing to look at. So after a terse family interaction time, she will inevitably pull me off to the side and ask me some loaded question, which will either focus on DH's and my religious affiliation (he's Catholic, I'm Protestant and we attend services in both churches) or our sex life, which is none of her damn business. I am not even joking. Needless to say, DH and I are on edge for the rest of the day even after they've left, and usually we get into an argument of some sort b/c we're so wound up. Oy!
Here's hoping that for once, things go smoothly, and that we have a calm, pleasant interaction. Miracles happen, right?!?

Lots of good vibes that it isn't as bad as it could be!!! I
Wow... if my mom asked about our sex life, I'd probably die on the spot!
