Home Alone

Yay! DH took the kids to a ball game and I have the house to myself! I am going to watch TV and do nothing. (I have tons of stuff TiVo'ed that I need to watch)

My grandmother is in town and I am probably going to have her over tomorrow. She is a draining person to be around. You know the type, very sweet one moment and then bitter and judgemental the next. She likes to hint at things rather than come out and say it or ask it. Like, "I would have wanted to stay at your mum and dads but they are too busy for me". Or "I never hear from your brother, he must be angry at me for something, altho what *I* could have possibly done escapes me". Very sarcastic, needy and pessimistic. She adores me, because I email her regularly and always make time for her when she comes. She is my grandmother after all. But it is draining. Listening to negativity all the time under the guise of being so very pleased with herself. Everywhere she goes "everyone just loves her and her canadian sense of humor" and yet she moves a lot and says she never liked the people there. *shrug* Whatever. She's had a hard life, mom left her as an infant and then died shortly after, bad husbands, she's been married about 8 times and who knows if any of her 7 children are actually fully related.
Ick, now I sound mean. I feel for her, I do. She has been kind to me and who knows how long she will be around, so I will continue to love her, despite herself.

Now, off to watch me some GH! **smooches**
