Sometimes you feel like a nut...

This was the email that I received this morning from my amazing cousin Matt...

Sooo...

You know how when it's your grandmas bday and you have to call her but she kinda semi-faked an illness and took three Valium to see her dr and u need to talk to her on the phone Bc at this rate it very likely could be her last bday and not really sure what to say? Like if u should say "gma I heard u took three Vamlium in a few hrs so maybe we shouldn't complain about being sick today?". No? That's not what it's like on every gmas bday? Just mine?  Ohhh. Didn't realize that was not normal....

This is just another reason that I love my family.  Somehow we all know we are thinking the same thing and trying out how to get out of it at the same time.

(Side note - I do realize that making fun of my Grandma under normal circumstances would be considered cruel, but thankfully she is not normal and will never read this, since she hates all things computers)

Couldn't have said it better. I called to wish her happy birthday and she still doesn't understand why I am so upset with her. Also, the reason she won't take Paxil is because Dr. Zell (probably 50 years ago) told her it wasn't good to take those kind of pills everyday. My response was that taking Valium everyday probably isn't a good idea either. Her response was pretty much that I should mind my own business. She thinks we should all just move on and not talk about it anymore. I'm not quite ready to give up on the subject, birthday or no.

And of all people to tell someone to let something go! I still think that you and Peggy need to talk to Grandpa. She is out of her mind!
