Whew! My sister got married this weekend and I need a week-long vacation on a deserted island by myself to recharge. I won't get more than a few hours by myself at any point in time, so I'll be in a bad mood until I can spend at least one weekend day alone.

I can think of a thousand reasons why I wouldn't go that route for a wedding, but being capable of being absolutely exhausted from being around people is one of the major ones, why my wedding should involve as few people as possible, maybe even as little as two.

Another thing is that my mother has managed to piss off so many people that some of them (family members) did not show up at all and some of the ones who did were acting like jerks. To me. And I didn't do anything to deserve being treated like that, since I keep my involvement in my mother's affairs to a bare minimum.

Anyhow, if someone ticks you off, please don't take it out on their children. They are innocent.

It makes me think my mother was right for whatever she did or stood up for if the people that she quarreled with act that ugly around people who are related, but weren't involved.
