Hell bound, sans the handbasket
It's finally happened. . .after 3 narrow escapes, I'm off to hell this weekend to hang with the family for Fathers Day weekend. Hell is my pet name for Bakersfield, not the company I'll be keeping.
I'll be driving down with my younger brother, so we'll be able to catch up on life during the drive. Then we'll analyze the folks on the way home ;) that is if it's necessary.
The nice thing about this trip is I'll also be visiting with my 2 step-sisters that I haven't seen since May of 2002. 2 years of issues with the folks kept me away from family gatherings and following that, 2 years of my step-sisters having issues with the folks have keeping them away from family gatherings. Things are getting better now, not fully back in black, but there is only so much one can expect.
Additionally, I will be trapped in a house with a 2 year old. . . . .I'm hoping he's well behaved or . . . . . I might end up spending all my time outside on the patio or in the pool. . .not necessarily a bad thing except it's super hot, more miserable than when I lived in Phoenix even!!
