Im old im tired, i m not cooking for everyone tomorrow.

I would like to but I told family bring food if you want to eat.
I don't even have the energy or will to buy everyone prezzies except granddaughter who texted a list and where to buy.
She is easy.
Great grands get last years gifts as their parent didn't bring them over and I'm not chasing people to give presents. they probably won't come anyway.
Older grands get money.
I'm generally bla about the whole thing.

I'm tired of everyone assuming that if they come to my house they'll be fed. I told them at Thanksgiving that my husband would make a turkey but nothing else. They brought plenty of stuff, so they're capable of doing this.

This year, no tree, no decorations. Let's see if they show up. I bought a Please Touch Museum pass for my grandson. Screw the rest of them.

Daughter is bringing pie. So it won't be bad.
I think I just had a moment remembering how much I did before and feel a little guilty not doing all.

Ok CF. Share some pie with me. 😄😄😄😄
