the grinch
So christmas is making me feel slightly stressed. Seeing as my husband's father's side of the family never seemed to take a huge interest in us other than when we visit them, or call them...etc We really did not think that we would even be really seeing them on xmas. well his grandmother sent us a very generous check for xmas, and his father invited us down there. I dont want to say no, but i love hanging out with my family on xmas, and secondly I have no idea if/what I should get any of them being I dont know them very well at all.
I thought about making some handmade soap and other stuff to put into a cute little giftbasket for them women anyway, since that wouldnt end up too costly for multiple people and would come off as a more personal gift. I know my family would like it and so would roberts mother etc... but his stepmom, grandma, and two aunts i have no clue.
lets not forget that seeing all them i am Heavier than when i last saw them and i HATE it lol. Part of me feels like when i leave they are going to be like...yeah she is letting herself go since the wedding is over with :(. maybe they dont, but my evil antagonistic self thinks that.
Im not sure how to go about this...but I am not going to worry too much about it right now...maybe I will even bring something baked down...*sigh*
alright im done venting... I am sure things will be fine...i think i worry too much what others think.
