I am SO excited to make the challenge this week. I missed last week due to family I really only see once a year. The best days with family is when they get here and whey they leave. Love my kid and my brother, but single relatives who don't have children have a hard time when they are trapped in a house with a sullen teen, an over-sensitive 10 year old and a 7 year old high functioning autistic kid. It would be hilarious if I could just watch from the outside. My brother was horrified that I used my barely or half drunk water to my Keurig. He almost lost it. But, hey! I'm the only one who uses it besides my sister and I don't leave backwash! I'm SO OCD that I practically pour bottled beverages into my mouth from a DISTANCE to keep from getting even my OWN backwash in it. Besides...I'm clean! I brush my teeth and bathe...most evey day...but we're siblings! We shared the same amniotic fluid!! Oh well...family. Wait a minute...that has NOTHING to do with TT. Sorry. Anyway, here's my girl and a special stamp I had made but NOT with my mother in mind when I did. Heh heh

Very funny, glad mine is not the only funny one. But then I haven't seen much today so they might all be funny for all I know.!
Happy New Year!

Don't we all have someone like this in our lives? I love it, this looks like my Mom, though she isn't passive aggressive. Now dysfunction, that's my family, show me a normal one and you can have mine!
I love what you say about when family is the best, ain't that the truth!

What a fun card. And family, what can you say (although I always thought my family was weird until I met other people's families, then mine looked pretty normal.)
