My take on family...

Normally, I try to leave this subject alone. Its almost as tough a subject as religion or politics. Of course no one ever admits to that.. but anyway, I got a few things I want to touch on.

My immediate family and I have always been "tight". Or atleast in my mind we have been. Since my father past away though we dont seem to get together as often. Which is to say that "I" dont seem to make family "get-togethers" as much I did. But anyway, since my father past, I have chosen to live back at home with my mother. There are several reasons for this. Mainly however because I dont want my mother to be alone. But also because I am divorced, and its just not as easy as it once was to live alone. Any way you look at it though it was a good idea (and still is!). My sister has a family of her own, as well does my brother. So it just worked out.

Let me give a little background on my sister. She went to Texas A&M, she has a good career and as well her hubby is successful. Her "stint" at A&M gave her a LOT of confidence (meaning.. she knows EVERYTHING..just ask her, she'll tell you). And where I am concerned.. I am the baby. My brother and sister are older than I.

That being said.. Recently my mother had surgery done on both her knees (knee replacement). She was hardly able to get around. So, my sister, as usuall, takes over. Now, even though I dont make family "get-togethers" as often as I should.. the only time we ("we" being my mother and I) see or hear from my sister is around the holidays. I mean, every once in awhile she'll call or email me. And my mother..well.. I know she calls her to stay in touch every so often. But for the most part, just around the holidays is when we see them. Anyway back to what I was saying. My sister took over. Making all the plans and making sure that "she" had everything under control. Which was great because until mom finishes her physical therapy and is able to get up and around. She needs help. So the plan (according to the plan master) was for mom to stay at my sisters till she is able to get up and around, take shower, drive..etc..etc.

Now for those of you who know me, you know I recently found out I have type 2 diabetes. And of course as soon as my mother goes in to the hospital, my sugar just goes through the roof. So the only way I have at the time to converse with my mother is through email with my sister. Well, so I tell sis, several times, that my sugar is way out of wack.

Its from this point on that I see my thoughts on being "tight" with my family (my sister anyway) is off-track...at best.

My sister didnt bother, not once, to ask me if I was ok while I was emailing back and forth with her. Her only comment was to say how mother was doing. Which I appreciated her letting me know. But my sugar was getting to levels that shouldve landed me in a diabetic coma. She neglected to mention to this my mother. Or at least I am quite certain she didnt. The more I got thinking about it the more I thought it was probably good not to say anything to mom. She had just got out of surgery and didnt need to be worried about me right..? Ok so I let that go, thought nothing of it. Finally got to where I could get up and out of the house. Sugar still way high, but I didnt feel so bad. Felt good enough to go see my mom at the hospital. Well, my mom looked at me and could tell I wasnt doing very good and she asked me about it..in front of my sister. Well from there, my sis was genuinely concerned about me (or so I thought).

My mom finally gets to leave the hospital and goes to my sisters. In the mean time, up up and away goes my sugar again. So I am feeling really sick now. I have nothing to eat here at home. As well, no money to get me anything to eat. So I email my sister (because she conveniently turned my mothers phone off..said she didnt want anyone bothering her. Didnt realize that included me too.) and asked if moms phone was screwed up or something. She replied no, that it was off.. So, I made a small hint that I needed to talk to her. She emailed me back, again, just mentioning that mom was doing ok. Not asking a thing about me. So this time I just told her..I am hungry. She replied and again, said mom was ok, she'd turn her phone on in the morning. That if I needed anything to call her or her hubby. So, I emailed her again..this time purposely being facetious.. saying it was cool, I'd just eat an icicle with some ketsup on it and that I'd be ok. Her reply was "yup".

So by this time I am panicing. Because the only thing I can do to lower my sugar, besides taking my meds, is to eat and eat right. Its like 8:30 pm. I didnt get in touch my mother till 8 a.m. the next morning. However I sent my sister some emails through the sleepless night I had. Letting her know how I felt and that it would be a COLD ass day in hell before I ever did anything for her.

A few days go by and my health is on a roller coaster. Up one day, down the next. In the mean time my mother is getting better and gets my sister to take her to the store. She is going to buy some groceries for here at the house so I can eat. Once again, my sister takes over. Takes her to Sams wholesale. Long story short, this is what my sister brings me to eat. 1 big box of vanilla and chocolate pudding. 1 big ass bag of nilla waffers. 1 big ass bag of kellogs frosted flakes. 3 big jars of Bertoli(sp?) spaghetti sauce, 1 big bag of meatballs and the noodles. A big box of Reces's Peanut Butter Cups. Big bag of powdered sugar doughnuts. A case of diet dr. pepper (atleast they ARE diet) A big bag of frozen tator tots and a bag of fish sticks. Some eggs, bread, milk and turkey for sandwhiches.

Anyone diabetic reading this..? how much of that stuff can I eat..?

Anyway, maybe its just me.. but if I didnt know better, I'd think my sister trying to get me out of the way.

Conspiracy's Anyone?

For the conspiracy theorist FEMAwho..?What..? C'mon now, concentration camps..? Geesh, now this is plum nuts Ok, so this is the history of FEMA here Man... some people have to much time on there hands

Granted, this is all rather new to me, I cant see Bill Gates going for the whole concentration camp issue. I mean, he is after all "IN" charge right? But seriously, Its going to take more than Huey and Duey out filming some old run down plant to convince me we are going to be in concentration camps by the end of the term. Ok, so us Texans pushed George Bush jr. off on the rest of the world..we had to share the joke with everyone else. Just think of how many laughs you would NOT have had if not for him being the president. Or.. Monarch I guess I should say according to Huey and Duey.
