Miffed

I realize it's been forever since I posted and I'm sure nobody even reads anymore, but since I am friends with my entire family (ARGHH) on Facebook, I need to vent here.

My SIL and her family are moving back to the lower 48 from Alaska. My in-laws have been talking about taking the two grandkids on a trip for a long time. They planned a two day trip through Yellowstone National Park. Hotel rooms are reserved for up to a year in advance inside the park, and they found a stagecoach ride for the kids. We've been talking this up for months now.

Plus, it's a very.big.damn.deal for my son to spend two nights away from home. He was apprehensive but we finally talked him into it because he gets to be with his cousin! whom he loves! whom he rarely sees! You get it.

In the meantime, Uncle dies. Distant Uncle from two states away. The funeral is planned for this weekend.

Now I'm not trying to be a hard hearted bitch, but I really feel that his entire family would understand that there was a trip planned with the grandkids and we're sorry, we loved you Uncle, but we can't attend.

The trip to Yellowstone is off. The Boy is so disappointed.

And frankly so am I.
