Please sell crazy someplace else....

Without pointing too many fingers at people who are going to read this one day....

With any collection of 8 people (soon to be 9) living under one roof, politcs and cliques develop. When you add the respective families of origin to the mix, the show becomes the stuff of wonder - a very long running telenovela. According to the lastest episode - as narated by my mother, my wife has a drinking problem, I am embezeling money, and our children are delinquents. Now one of these is of course true, but the bail policy on jeuveniles is very generous in GA, so I am able to handle that on most days.

To truly appreciate the story, you need to understand that my mother rarely if ever leaves her house, and my father is rarely home. This gives her at least 16 waking hours to ruminate over - well - anything. So when my wife doesn't call her back within a day, or finishes an email for 10 minutes after she arrives for a visit, the clear conclusion is a drinking problem. When the children are non-comunicative as teenagers...delinquents; and when I am taking a trip to some exotic locale - embezelment.

With six children, a job, and minimal help, it makes complete sense to me why my wife might need to hide from all visitors for a few years...my children, well, I told you part of the comments were true; and well, lets just say I get paid well.

Fairness dictates that I mention this is only half of the crazy pills - we get it from all sides, but here is the kicker: we do a GREAT job of creating crazy as hell - all on our own, so, like extra ice cream and cookies for my fat belly, sell it down the street...lol.

SO...the real family crime blotter should read - Husband with a drinking problem from dealing with extended family and teenagers; a wife guilty of hiding from, well, whoever the hell she wants; and well there are still those jeuvenile delinquents...

Damn, maybe she is right, we are a lost cause :-)
