Ghosts of Christmas Past

So, there's something else that happened over our Christmas break ...
There must be something weird in the air -Because not only was I visited by "ghosts of Christmas past" but, my sister was too - Allow me to explain ... I'm sure we all have people from our past that we don't talk to anymore -some on purpose. This always makes me a little nervous and cautious about things like having this blog ;being on facebook -etc. There are plenty of people from my past I do keep in touch with -That I went to school with or worked with -But, like I said there's others I'd rather not. Of course I also know they're out there and the whole -6 degrees of seperation and all. But, it was really weird that within 24hrs -and a couple days before Christmas I got not 1 but, 2 Facebook friend requests that I was unsure about. Being sick I thought maybe I was hallucinating or -this is it -I'm sick and gonna die and this is some kind of judgement- I was taken aback needless to say. I took a little while to think about it -I already ignored 1. The other I thought would happen eventually - And I haven't gotten into the whole story on here yet -But, I figured sometime I'd be contacted by my daughter's biological dad or his family -It was his mom. I talked to my husband, dad, and sister about it and I finally sent her a message (it's great being able to send a message to a non-friend) -I tried to be somewhat friendly but, also stern -I mean how else are you supposed to act towards someone who hasn't been involved for over 10 years?! As of yet I haven't heard back -the ball is in their court as they say -So, we'll see. And then the day after Christmas my sister was contacted by an ex of hers-Like I say -it's weird! So, yep seems to be the Christmas for ghosts of the past or something!

My family is crazy

See, I've been thinking about doing a whole series of posts about how my family is crazy -Since I could probably write a book. But, heaven forbid they read this sometime -and besides I don't want this blog to seem like I'm "bashing" my family or anything. And I'm sure all of our families are a bit crazy in some way or another -So, here's a glimpse into mine...

As I've probably mentioned before that growing up my dad got custody of me and my sister (a story in itself). So, anyways 2 girls growing up with their dad is a little bit out of the norm to begin with. And my dad he's kinda a quirky minimalist,conspiracy theory type of guy. He's had a few different jobs-from working in downtown Tulsa to a few odds and ends ones especially the past few years but, now he's retired. And now he lives here:

It's our family cabin -Plenty of family memories -Spent some summers camping there-etc. And when I say camping it was pretty much camping you see the cabin -is shelter and it does have electricity -But, no running water! Since the outhouse is falling apart he is looking to get a bath house built -with water though.

So that's about my dad -

My mom wasn't really involved while we were growing up -even if it was her weekend for us to visit her -she seemed - busy a lot of the time with this boyfriend or that boyfriend. But, now I think basically she's overcompensating - there's a rare day that goes by that she doesn't call and sometimes her mom (my gma) too -So, yeah sometimes I get a few calls a day from them. Also my mom facebook stalks me -No, really she does! Like the other day I happen to not catch the phone call -which she will call my home ph,then my cell phone - I called her right back but, she didn't answer - So, later when I was on Facebook she was all like -Where were you earlier?! I made sure to let her know that I had called her right back -etc. She also emails me about 10 times a day -A lot of them are different links to articles or videos or whatever -But, she also posts a lot of them on Facebook too -Ugh! It's just been driving me crazy lately!

So, yeah I get crazy from both sides and believe me there's more -But, I'll leave it at that for now -So, how's this stack up to your family? ;)
