My family is falling apart!

My mom is coming down to visit in a couple weeks. My parents are going to fly me home and then my mom and I are driving down a rental truck full of crap from home. Here's the situation...she has been smoking as long as I can remember. And whenever she gets around us, she seems to smoke twice as much! Social thing I guess. But she has quit. She's doing a really good job with it too, but I don't know how she'll do once she gets around a house full of smokers. She said she thinks the toughest part will be the 16-18 hour drive down! Cause that's when I have a hard time not chain smoking, is when I'm driving....and dammit, I'm gonna be smokin'!

But here's the other weird thing. My dad, as long as I can remember, has always been a drinker. A couple beers after work...etc. Well, my mom told me that since she has quit smoking, he has given up drinking. What the hell is going on? My family as I have always known it is crumbling apart!!! I know, it's a good thing. Maybe they are realizing that they are habit that they must change to better their lives. More power to them! It's just weirding me out a bit!

We'll see how mom does when she gets down here and I get a few drinks in her though! I just call it a test of will power! Let the games begin.
