  The Aliens in my house Not the extra terrestrial kind No, not at all These are the ones  I choose to live with Day in and day out First there is the Living breathing talking kind Walking about in their pyjamas Always asking questions "Where are my shoes?" "Where are the car keys?" "Where is food?" Never ending list of questions That I need to find answers to Then there is the invisible kind Always in my head Without speaking Without showing themselves Giving all the answers Directly to my mind "5 years" "49%" "Less than 30" I think I need to pick a side Who I like better Questioners or Answerers? Pretty simple choice really When you think about it I'd rather have the questions And create my own answers Than being given answers To questions I don't ask !

The funny thing is actually there weren't much difference. They followed similar tack ticks. There was a big family event coming up and I was not going to be attending. My family went into over drive immediately planning and figuring out , what to tell, how to tell, when to tell and whom to tell.  Initially they would confirm to anyone who asks that I was attending. As the date got close, they began to say "Maybe she might not attend as she might have to under go an operation. Waiting on doctors advice" By this time I had already had surgery and was on to chemo. On the day they just said that I couldn't get time off from work.  I am not saying we are important like the Royal Family, just that any family...
