I have to put my happy serene face on today. I also have to keep my trigger happy temper under wraps and not let anything bug me today. I'm saying all this for more my own self than others but it may help someone else get thru an event they aren't lookin forward to either.

DH just sprung on me (last night) that we need to go to an outdoor thing of an employee today. So we cleaned my car last night like the queen was visiting and I have no time to look for something for this shindig to wear. Thank God for my new outfit from Targe'

But the kicker is we have to drive his father(75) and the stepwife and she is not on my top ten of favorite people. I just have to numb myself to her remarks- because the woman lives in this insulated world where she thinks everyone lives like her. I'm scared because I ,don't want to let the temper get the best of me and hope I do nothing that embarrasses my DH with his dad (mr. big ceo, the big thumb under my DH is under). I have to make sure I do not talk off the top of my head and say anything that I have to pull the foot out of my mouth.

We rarely do anything with them anymore so an nice long car ride is not the least of my first choices. PRAY for me, god I wish I had a Valium....Maybe they'll just talk business all the way and I can go into the lala zone.... TAKE A DEEP BREATH JAN!!!
