Had Kind of a Crappy Thanksgiving

[Guest guest]

Invited my Nada because I feel sorry for her all alone on the holidays. She

didn't do anything horribly wrong, but from the second I picked her up (because,

of course, she has no car) I wanted to punch her in the face. Everything that

came out of her mouth worked on my last nerve. She also has to prowl through my

house, fondling everything and asking weird questions like how much things cost

or if the rhinestones I'm wearing in my ears are real diamonds or if the cheap

necklace I'm wearing is made of silver. (She never says it outright, but I

always know that lurking very near the surface is the question: " If you can

afford all this, why can't you help me out more financially? " ) I finally asked

her to stop snooping through mine and my husband's bedroom, so then she started

drinking, I guess to cut down on tension, but then that makes her act even

weirder.

Believe me, for her, she was on her best behavior, but I just couldn't help

putting off a hate vibe toward her all day. My kid kept asking me what was

wrong. It ended up basically ruining both our Thanksgivings and I still feel

like crap because of it. I'd just like to enjoy the holidays for once.
