Bond with this???

Is it possible to have too much of a good thing?

Yes - too much alcohol, too much fat, too much chocolate(okay bad example). You get the drift. But can you have too much family?

I am currently on vacation with the entire family. And I mean entire. Not a man, woman or child was left behind. Children, spouses and significant others were dragged, some against their will up to the mountains of Colorado. We have divided up into 3 living units and the tensions are high after 4 days of all this family fun(insert sarcastic tone here).

Now the question isn't about loving our family members, as that is a given. Once you enter into the "sisterhood" it is like a contract with no escape clause. Which has its wonderful moments and then there are the moments where you are one minute away from packing up your clothes and heading to Boise!

Some people can be around their families all the time and never want to back hand them - this group not so much. Perhaps it is because we are all so different. We are all diverse in our beliefs, life goals, ethics and morals. While this can lead to some interesting conversations it can also result in some rather cranky people after a few days.

So perhaps it isn't too much it is just too close. My darling, patient as a saint, husband has already said "next time we get our own unit" So that is the plan! Love from a distance! Where everyone has their own time out corner!
