Family ish....
It has come to my attention that even though I did not want to come down on my sister in my last post.... I did....
She has been through alot in the past two years and she IS trying. We both worked for the same company in2007 and in December I was fired. To make a loooooooooooooooong story short... they took my actions and deeds out on her and made her life miserable. She ended up quitting in January 2008 just to keep her sanity. I was fortunate enough to be able to collect unemployment and find a job right away... and while she tried to stay afloat, she did the same thing I have been doing with the credit cards... And now all of her money is going to just continue to stay afloat. I understand it is hard... and this is what family if for... help when we need it....
The entire purpose of my last entry was to vent about finances... I take care of all the finances for the house, myself, my dad, and billy... and alot of this responsibility falls on me.... I was purely venting.... and trying to re-assure myself that everything will be ok.
Both moth my sister and I are college educated women. We are driven and intelligent. And due to the economy, we are work well beneath or potential just to pay the bills... In my opinion, that also makes us humble...
My sister is a wonderful person.... And one day when she is a famous novelist and doing book tours all around the world, I will look back on my LJ entries and sigh a breath of relief that we got through this... together....
