Oh Dear God, This DEFINITELY deserves a head role on a poisoned-tipped, rusty metal-spiked wall.

Ok so my grandpa is turning 80 this summer and my gradma has been going nuts planning this surprise reunion. Seriously, I haven't seen these people in like 8 years and I REALLY don't give a shit about that! Oh no oh no oh no. To be honest, I am hoping that I have a job that will not permit me taking off for 3 days. Hollie thinks it's pretty selfish to not go. I realize that, but that doesn't make me want to hide in a hole everytime I hear about it. I do NOT fit in with those people. Me and Josh have always been the black sheep of this side of the family. I am going to count how many times they ask me when I'm going to get married. Apparently getting married and having 80 million kids by the time you're 25 is the purpose in life. Oh man, this is going to suck so bad. I don't know how I can put on a happy face. The reason I am bringing it up is because I just got an update email from my g-ma. Here's a bit from it to explain more:

"I would appreciate some volunteers to help with the plans. We want to keep this loose and informal, but I do think we should have enough structure to make the time meaningful and fun for everyone.

Here are some areas to be covered—let me know what you’d be willing to do.

Transportation coordinator
Sports and games, especially for the teens and young adults (A trip to the Florissant Fossil Park ?)
Evening get-to-gethers—we’ll have three evenings, and we’ll want music, family stunts or presentations, memories. If you’d like family slides I can pull that together. There’s a campfire pit for smors etc. available. (Need to bring the smores)
Photos, videos and someone to coordinate those afterwards
Devotional times
Program coordinator – just to set a general schedule for meals and any coordinated activities.
Child-care – we have six little ones and there are children’s recreation and game rooms, but it would be nice to share this responsibility around. Perhaps this person could check with Sarah or Tamarah before hand.
Other?"

I will be the Program Coordinator! Oh shit......Sarah and Tamarah are under 25 and I think one has 4 kids and the other 3...or is it 5 and 4? They were both under 21 when they got married. Tamarah's hubby is 10 years older. He proposed when he was 28 and she was 18. Is it just me or is that a bit on the fucked up side? Poor Josh, me, and especially Hollie. Oh man are they going to rag on her for having a nice bf. Poor girl. Ok, I promise I will write more upbeat things next time.

Why can't we have a normal family with people who would rather just "be" by the fire and smoke cigarettes and drink beer? That's what I want to do in the mountains. Not a family bible study or slide show time. Hollie thinks I should be careful what I wish for, and also be the sports coordinator!!! HAHAHAHAHA! I will plan...hmmm...We should totally play "Hit The Person Running With The Slipper!"
