The Phone Call

So here's 0ne of the funniest, as in crazy, family stories to date. About 4:30 or so my mother and I were sitting eating dinner before she needed to drive me home. The phone rang and as always she feels compelled to answer even though she herself said she didn't want to be bothered. The call lasted a total of about one minute. When she hung up she laughed and then told me that it was my sister calling to tell her that she put a glass beer bottle in the freezer and for my mother to take it out before it burst. Here's the kicker...my lazy sister was calling from her bedroom upstairs!!! She spent an hour out in the yard cleaning her truck but she was too lazy to walk down 15 steps to take a bottle out of the freezer herself! I literally said to my mother as she got up from her dinner plate to comply to my sister's demand that not only is "Debbie a dumb ass but that you are equally a dumb ass for doing it!" That was my exact quote. It always amazes me that my mother will do anything for her precious first born yet she simply doesn't trust her with important things like paying bills, cleaning house, paying rent and taxes. I'm pretty sure my mother is banking on that job being my responsibility. Don't you know I was born with a job already. I'm supposed to take all the crap while Debbie gets to just sit around and do nothing but be selfish. My response to alot of things these days is, "Ask Debbie to do it for you". I know she doesn't like that but I don't care. It's not respectful to me to say that my sister and I are equal when all Debbie does is take care of herself. How does someone like her get to live rent free, work a 50K per year job, and spend all of her money on stupidity and still not be able to clean up her financial messes? One word...enabled. Both of my parents do it. I refuse to be a part of it. My father told me in conversation that a few weeks ago my sister called him asking for 20k for some business venture. He loaned her some money. Throwing bad after bad. Meanwhile I never ask my parents for money...ever. I do without. I pay all of my own bills including rent, food, student loans, everything. Even holding my own all I hear is "Debbie needs help". How much freakin help does she need?!? I better stop now before I really go off. It's disgusting.

Anywho...it's late. Didn't do much this weekend except laundry. It's going to be nice and cool tomorrow so walking will be good. I find myself still feeling hungry just after 9pm or so. I think since I haven't been getting in enough veggies that's working against me and then I find myself eating fruit really late in the day. I think I'll make spinach tomorrow. OK..better go to bed. It's late. More tomorrow.
