Beware Rant Below…may or may not be coherant!
Well it never rains…it POURS. Case in point!
I am soundly sleeping this A.M. when my oldest daughter Allison and her boyfriend come barging into the bedroom to tell me that a very good friend of ours totalled her car. He was on his way home from the night shift and fell asleep at the wheel. He is incredibly lucky that he wasn’t injured. Get this though, he is the father of my god-daughter who is so sick with the kidney reflux problems. (As if his plate isn’t full enough.) To top this tale, we paid off said daughters car as a high school graduation present, so she wouldn’t have a payment hanging over her head and we could drop the insurance to liability only. So now she’s out a car, we’re out $50.00 for the tow plus all the maintenance we did on it not even two weeks ago. That’s not even counting the money we put into it over the last year, tires, batteries, ad naseum. Can you say it with me…….. TOTALLY SCREWED.
Then to add to the deluge, as if that wasn’t enough to make a perfect Monday. I get notified by the Veterans Hospital that my 82 year old dad needs immediate surgery to remove a Carotid Artery blockage. So I got the fun task of calling to schedule the surgery and notify all three of my sisters. After the way the day had started I told them they better get their butts out here to help me. No way am I doing this alone the way I had to do with mom’s breast biopsies. That was quite enough thank you very much, you chicken shit sisters that left me behind to deal with your divorced, crazy, neurotic parents. This is the part that kills me everytime I think about it… All three of my sisters are older, all three do not have dependant children, two are unemployed by choice, two are supported by fantastic guys, and they all three live as far as possible from above mentioned divorced, crazy, neurotic parents. Me? I raised my sisters son plus my two girls, work full-time, and am the primary caregiver of my dad. WTF? You bet they better get their collective asses down here.
Okay I’m done! Thank You for letting me vent some of the steam that was going to give me a stroke!
