Seconds after my last post I received a phone call that set off World War III in my family. The dust has settled and we are all licking our wounds so to speak. My mom and I are so much alike it's scary! We both react with the same anger and fire when we feel someone in our family (especially each other) have been hurt. The men in our lives both know that we react from our heart and not always logically, they both know that when our tempers are set off there is hell to pay, and they both know that in the end our love for them and our family as a whole keeps us bound together even stronger than before. But does that keep them from being stupid? Of course not!! My stepdad is a wonderful man and an incredible grandfather to my children but sometimes he opens his mouth and the most incredibly stupid things come out. Thank goodness we have resolved things and hopefully we will enjoy a stetch of peace and calm before we drive each other to madness again! Isn't it funny how genetics sometimes over rule our common sense? For the most part I am calm and level headed and then when I least expect it my latin blood takes over and I go ballistic! Oh well, at least it's never boring around here! hehe
