gobble gobble

I would very much like to switch over to Friendsgiving from here on out. Not that I don't love my family, because I do, but all of my local cousins (three brothers) are spawning and it's gotten insane. (I'm an only child with a very large extended family; fortunately, we're very spread out across the US, so I only see the NY/NJ contingent on the regular.) So at my parents' house upstate this year, there are thirteen adults and four children under the age of three. My parents and I are actually sleeping at a neighbor's house because there isn't enough room in their own house for us. That's how insane it is. And one cousin's wife is pregnant again, so next year there will be FIVE children UNDER THE AGE OF FOUR. This is too much, cousins. I'm not saying they have to stop breeding entirely, but could they at least take a breather between kids?

It is very nice and quiet at the neighbors' house.

All I want is to finish my goddamn Steve/Bucky fic, but my brain is too fried from all the child-wrangling. At least I can escape back home to my own apartment tomorrow afternoon. Where I will be blissfully alone. Unless my roommates are also getting back to the city early, in which case I will continue to not be alone, but at least I have my own room with a door that I can close.

Also food coma, obviously. At least we're a family of cooks, so we do eat well. And plentiful booze as well.
