Quote From: rlnashWell, did you have a good weekend? What did you do?
My weekend went as usual, only worse for the wear. My brother and sister-in-law decided
to tell me how much I owe them since I became ill and they brought me out here!! So,
needless to say, I was thrown for a loop. (It's around 45,000 dollars) I've been about
to throw up ever since. Between my house note, monthly bills, paying them back and
whatever else pops up, I won't have anything left over. I'll be purely working to pay the bills.
I know, most people in the world do that, but, I wanted a new start; not the same old thing.
Sorry, I'm just really, really depressed over this whole thing. I knew I owed them money,
but not that much. Plus, had they let me go back to Arkansas, instead of cutting off all of
my ties, my house note would be half of what it is here. But, they had taken care of my job
for me, too, --------- ugghhhh. Here or there, I guess it really doesn't matter.
Maybe I'd better just go for now and write when I feel a little better. See ya----

Oh, Renee', I'm so sorry. That sucks. I really don't like your brother and sister-in-law. They don't seem like nice people at all. What ever happened to people helping their family just because they're family and not expecting to be paid back? What kind of selfish person keeps a record of every penny spent helping someone? It's not like they spent that money fueling a drug or gambling addiction. It's not like they bought you a yacht or anything. Why can't they just be proud of themselves for doing the right thing, and let that be their payment? Is money really that important to them? Even if that's a lot of money for them, you can't put a price on family. Or, maybe you can. Maybe I should start keeping a tab for my daughters. Let's see, with the hospital bills they already owe me quite a bit just for bringing them into this world. Then there's the cost of feeding them, clothing them, and diapers, of course... Man, after they go to college and get some high-paying jobs, they're going to spend a long time paying me back. Maybe I should find some kind of child labor that they can do now, just to get them started early. In case it's not obvious, that's all meant with sarcasm. They should really come up with a specific font style just for sarcasm...
Anyway, I really hope your week gets better. I think it would help if you find something to laugh at, so I hope this helps: Try making a mental image of your brother and his wretched wife trapped in a porta potty. It gets better. Imagine the porta potty falling down on it's side, and then rolling down a hill, with them inside. It's even more fun if you picture the looks on their faces. I hope this helps to cheer you up a little. It always helps me. :)
I'll keep you in my prayers, as always. Hope to hear from you more soon.
