Crazy Family

I became the "entertainment hub" for my crazy family today. Apparently my sister has pissed off both my mom and my littlest bro and neither one wants to interact with her. Soooo, my sister wanted to come over and get the latest pics of my kids. Since my mom and bro wanted to come over too they wanted me to call and let them know when she had left my home. Well, sister ran late but did finally arrive. She stayed for around an hour and a half but in that short time she managed to insult me multiple times. First she implied we were highly critical of our neighbors since James mentioned that our neighbors are starting a clover farm next door (he doesn't know how to kill his clover) . We live in a neighborhood where most neighbors take care of their yard mind you. Well I told her that if their yard gets overly weedy that we have to retreat our yard to kill off their wayward weed seedlings. She implied that we were way to snooty. Mind you most people in our neighborhood would frown on weeds growing out of control as it detracts from home values. When you are in a certain price range of homes people want you to take care of your yards. Let me mention that she is on section 8 and that she is clueless when it comes to having to maintain a home and appease the surrounding neighbors. Then her parting words were 'you sure could use a housekeeper to keep up your house'. Am I wrong to be insulted...I think not. She also managed to scap up lunch from me (she has done this the last two times she has visited). I am guessing she is just envious of my life. She has been jealous of me since childhood mind you. Then my brother also started on a paranoid rant about how people were out to get him on the road. He said he reported them to the cops and he was sure they were arrested. I am like ummm righhhhttt. So tonight I am in awe that I ever managed to make it out of my crazy family without being crazy myself. Anyone relate????
