A Christmas Disaster.
So yesterday was Christmas eve, and it all started with me not getting my check in the mail (from my job) which now its been almost two weeks waiting for it. So I couldn’t finish my Christmas shopping. So I went with my father and his girlfriend to finish theirs and my Dad sent me to go get her presents, one which included going into a perfume shop ( I have really bad allergies ), let’s just say when I walked out of there a half hour later my nose felt like it was on fire.I had to pickup a Christmas dress to wear to my Mother’s that day (Christmas Eve with Mom’s Family,Christmas with Dad) because my dressing is never up to her standards.I found the most perfect shirt/dress and the most amazing shoes, come to find out the shoes I really wanted didn’t have half sizes ( who doesn’t sell half sizes?), nor did they have a 7, so I got an 8. I ran over to the next store to get leggings, I found a cute just black pair of leggings. So after everyone was done it was time to head home. We get outside and it’s raining pretty bad and snowing, we get in the car, and the windshield wipers don’t work, and we were about 20 min away from home, so with almost getting into two accidents we finally got home. I got in the shower right away to get ready for my mothers, after two hours of a shower ( the conditionar I bought specially for my hair turned out to be shampoo >=/), hair and makeup, it was time to put on my outfit, so I put on my dress, and next the leggings, well when the leggings streched out I noticed something, there was effin stars on them, which I didn’t notice that when I bought them cause they weren’t streched, and it completely didn’t match with my dress, so brushing that over, I put on my shoes, there was about an inch my foot couldn’t fill, so I went downstairs and my Dad’s girlfriend insisted that I looked amazing and that I could just pin the backs so the shoes wouldn’t fall off, so I did. Well we were off ( I had to go to my Mother’s and my Father had to go to his girlfriend’s parents house), I walked down the stairs outside to get to the car and realized, I am in heels and there is a crap load of snow and slush on the ground, I slipped probably about twice, and my feet were wet, freezing, and filled with snow. So I finally got to my Mother’s and found out that my crush since middle school was there ( I am 19 now ), which was completely awkward.Well everything seemed fine for awhile up until my Mother wanted me to go get the Turkey platter from downstairs, that thing was huge and heavy, while trying to grab it out I ended up breaking three plates along with it, and pretty much everyone made fun of me for it. Now on the the food, it was time to eat ( I hate this part with my Family because..) and I again got a lot of s*** from my family for being too skinny, ” Oh you might want to stack up on the ham” “You should just drink the chocolate from the fountain” “look at you, you need to eat” “what are you aneroxic?”, now people, not only do overweighted people get crap for being overweight, but underweight people do to, and honestly I hear it everytime I am with them and I hate it. Well it was time to open up gifts, everyone paired up with their lovers and I had just went through a bad breakup, and before I knew it my eyes were getting teary, so I went upstairs into the bathroom and just let it all out, I had thought I moved on over the course of three weeks of not talking to him, but I was dead wrong, so I decided to leave him a message just to say Merry Christmas and ended up balling my eyes out on the phone.After that I went to my brother’s room and just laid down. About 3 people came and bothered me, trying to get me to tell them what was wrong, I ended up yelling at my sister because come to find out her boyfriend overheard me crying in the bathroom on the phone ( I ran the water so noone could hear me), and she demanded to know what was wrong. I ended up falling asleep only to wake up again to my sister telling me that my father’s car had died and wouldn’t start, my sister wouldn’t drive my brother and I home, so I went to my other sister, I said ” my dad’s car died and I have noway home” and all she said was “that sucks”. So stranded at my mother’s, my dad finally called and said he would just get a ride home from one of his girlfriend’s family members and just borrow my grandpa’s truck. My dad finally came, and as I was rushing to get outside in the car, my Mother and my Aunt stopped me, whom were completely wasted, they kept wanting me to give them hugs and all that crap and when I was like I got to go I got to go, my mother shouts infront of everyone saying Why are you being a *****? She is just probably pmsing. Well thank god I got into the car, and to find out that no one would drive my father and his girlfriend home, so they had to spend $60 on a cab ride they didn’t have.Needless to say both of us had crappy nights. Now to finish this off. We have two cars, and this week both of them died within three days.My father works and so does his girlfriend, ( thank god I work online), so no money, no cars, no food for after Christmas, and a very unhappy Christmas eve. Let’s just hope today goes a little bit smoother, but everyone is gonna be stressed because of the whole car issue.
