A Disfunctional Day Yesterday

Today I get to play Grandma. My 6-year old niece asked me to sit in for Grandma today for lunch at her school. So I will forego the planned lecture at 11:20 by my favorite teacher. I had to think about it for a while before I made the family decision. I really wanted to hear what my teacher had to say about the borderlands, but it's not everyday that a cute little girl with big blue eyes needs me. Actually, it is, but it is not so evident as today. I had a hard time going to sleep last night after such an eventful day. After I rode in a hummer with a womanizer, my disfunctional family graced me with their presence. Judy, with her dead-pan face and tired body sat at the kitchen table and drank my last two beers after a long hard day in the flower bed. She voiced her disappointments with her husband not cooking her supper and not helping her with the yard work. She yelled at the kids. The kids yelled back. They finally left. One hour later, Ron shows up to pick up a computer disk. He begins asking questions about Judy being here in a way that made me uncomfortable. He got upset that I gave her L.R.'s book for him to read. He made a mean comment about not cooking for her. Then he asked me what I think.... I didn't have the heart to tell him what I thought. As the song goes, "Don't ask me what I think of you, I might not give the answer that you want me too." Poor thing only has three hours to prepare for work. Needless to say, I didn't get much studying done yesterday.
