ack.
the weekend. well, the weekend that was sunday.
a great occasion--the celebration of zori's second birthday. i keep that forefront in my mind.... the rest? gargh.
the ex, his girlfriend (there's class! bring your girlfriend to a family event that has BOTH of your ex wives there--how difficult for her), his mother, his brother, a niece, a nephew... the first wife, her boyfriend, her daughter from the second marriage (he died--meh), zori's dad and his family, who dropped the 'n' word all day, and smoked around my pregnant daughter and all of the little ones there.
and me.
one table held the maternal family, one the paternal family, one held the partner's family... and one held me and my eldest son who circulated.
bless him.
one table had a cloud of smoke, two had clouds of irritation, and one held a lot of laughter.
i was glad to be at the last one.
as for zo-zo, she ran and played and kissed everyone and smeared cake all over her face and laughed some more, so, all in all, it was a successful gathering.
thank god i don't have to do it again for a year.
