This past weekend was an interesting one and heads up this might be long.

Started off with my younger brother's graduation, I am so proud of him and he is going to college and is just an amazing young man. I was never close or around much but since my dad passed I have been trying really hard to be there and text him to see how he is doing. I call him too. I hope our relationship grows.

We also put my dad to rest finally. He passed in December but we waited on the church service till more people could attend. It was a nice service the pastor person called me the wrong name at first. Hell it is confusing as my mom and ex-step mom are both named the same and my ex-step sister and I have the same name. Yeah I know complicated. Anyway it went well and it is finally all done. I still have mixed emotions about everything still sad to see that he passed never wished that. I know we did not talk to a long time but still kinda sucks knowing he is not there anymore. Really sad for my younger brother to lose a father at a young age and have to deal with all of it.

My older brother and sister-in-law came up with their two little ones. OMG the kids are the cutest thing, I have seen them in the past years but I forget how adorable they are. It was funny after they left they thought my SO and I are kinda strict. We made our kid go to bed at 10 the one night as we had a service to attend the next day. He usually goes to bed at 9. He needs his sleep or he is difficult to deal with. Also found out they let their kids watch deadpool, a 4 and 5 year old. We do not let SS watch stuff like that and most pg-13 he can watch but not all. Some shows we restrict as it is too dark and violent for a kid. They didn't mean to be mean but really if that makes us strict ok, I am good with that.

I also about right punched my sister-in-law but didn't and just walked away. I am getting ready to leave as I had to leave early for the service to make sure everything was ready at the grave site and pay the people to open it up. She is sitting there still chatting not even in the shower, everyone is telling her to get in the shower, I even said will you tow get ready you are stressing me out and I do not want you all to be late. Get ready. I was nice about it. At the church before it all started I was on edge a little just because I have had a ton on my plate. I vented to a second, said I was stressed, my SIL goes why? I said ok you plan a funeral, a wedding, work full time, run a kid around to base ball, take care of a home, and get all the legal stuff done and tell me if you are not stressed. Her response kinda rude "I could do it." This coming from a stay at home mom (nothing against stay at home moms) who has a cleaning lady, who does not really cook that often, they go out to eat a lot, who is always posting on social media, who leave cards that a meant to be sent out for b-days and what not in the car for months after the b-day has passed. Who can not even decide on a flavor of ice cream. Who is late to almost everything. Who decided that she needs to go see her mom for like three weeks with the kids and leave the two dogs and my brother behind. (he works long days, the dogs would be kept inside for 9 plus hours probably close to 11). The woman who complains about everything, and how she always has to get the kids ready and do everything.

That is the woman who told be she could handle everything. I walked away and let it go but it did annoy me. I know I do not have two young children. One is in school full time and the other one goes to have day 3 times a week. She is an idiot. Both kids have cell phones and will not get in a car without them. She uses the phones as baby sitting tools to keep them quiet.

It was a good weekend all in all, long and tiring. I am ready for a very long nap.
