I've been a poor updater lately. I had an awesome Christmas and New Year's and I hope everyone else did as well. Anyways, I'm putting a giant rant about what an ass my brother is behind the cut. Don't feel obligated to read. It's just some stuff that has been building that I need to get out before I end up killing him in his sleep *grins* Just kidding...kind of. He really is an ass.
My brother and his wife live in Texas so we don't get to see them very often. They have been visiting for a couple months now, which is great because we see them so rarely. But when they're gone I always seem to forget how much of an ass my brother can be. Case in point, we got a new puppy and we have been alternating who she sleeps with at night. Now I'm a crappy sleeper, I can honesty say that I can't remember ever having a good night's sleep. It is just the way it is with me. Anyways, because of my sleeping problems, I have trouble sleeping with the dog, but I have never complained. Last light I couldn't sleep at all, after my brother just dumped the dog on me, so I put her with my parents at like 7:30am because I knew my dad wanted to run some errands with me so I needed some sleep. I come out of my bedroom at around 12 to hear my brother saying that I'm a liar when I say I have trouble sleeping with the dog, that I hate the dog, that I'm trying get out of responsibility with the dog and that I'm basically full of shit.
He makes me so freaking mad!! I have never once complained. I always take the dog when I'm asked. I'm the one that takes her to the vet, I'm the one who gives her her meds. Trying to get out of responsibility my ass. Sometimes I just want to smack him. He is aIways saying crap like this. I have been taking my mom to her doctor's appointments for like the last 4 years. Sometimes it interferes with school, which has been stressing me out the last couple of semesters. After my mom had her stroke, he called me and told me that when he came, he wanted to do more to help out, like taking mom to some of her doctor's appointments, so that I would be less stressed. So when he's here, I sometimes ask him to take mom to her appointments in Vancouver because I hate having to drive there. But every single time I ask him, he makes me feel like I'm pawn mom off on him, like its my responsibility and he is doing me this huge favor and he always makes snide remarks when he gets back about how he survived the trip. If he doesn't want to take mom, that's fine. Just don't volunteer to help me out if you're going to make me feel guilty every time I ask you. I guess its easier to offer to help when you're in another country. I have decided that I'm going to ignore him as I know he is mainly trying to rise out of me but I'm so tired of him saying that I don't do enough around the house.
