Shitty.
AJ and I had breakfast at Denny's and then went home and stayed at home until it was time to go to my sister's.
For one reason or another, I didn't get to my sister's house until almost 4:00 P.M. Right before that, I ate something bad at the Jack-In-The-Box on Marine and Hawthorne (I never learn with that place, they've nailed AJ twice, and I have been hit before today) and my stomach was really bothering me most of the afternoon.
Once we got to Isa's house, I setup my laptop and we saw some stuff on YouTube until my father and then Pete arrive a little later with his family.
Dinner was just OK although there was a lot of tension and back and forth with a lot of people at the table. Eventually, after dinner, my wife left and then the drama started.
Sebastian, the newest member of our family, was acting up and crying, and his father David, was not handling it very well. At some point the baby got so angry, that he stopped crying and breathing and that amped up the melodrama to an unbearable degree.
I went outside and sat by the stairs and was unaware of everything that took place at the table after I left. I found out later that things escalated between my brother and David because Pete felt that David disrespected my mom. Because of this, Pete got very upset and started throwing things around the table.
I texted my son and told him I wanted to leave, but he eventually came out and we went back in the house. The upshot of the whole event is that this is the 2nd T-day in a row that was colorized by drama at the table due to tension between family members.
I have no idea what is going to happen next year. This is getting really bad.
What a horrible Thanksgiving Day. I hope'08 is better. It certainly can't be much worse, that's for damn sure.
