That's a first...
So, today was an all right day. The usual going to school and class. Oh the joys... well not really, but it sounded good, right? Anyways, I came home because we are having a new roof put on our house and it is HOT outside. So, I had to get home to go to the store to get the guys some water so they didn't pass out. Yes, I am nice like that. Well anyways, the phone rang sometime a little after 4. I only remember because Judge Judy was on. Sorry, a little side note... back to the story. Yes, so the phone rang and I was laying in the chair and looked at my mom and she answered it. I put the television on mute and listened to my mom have a little argument with the person on the other line. They wanted to speak with Eric... well no Eric leaves here. I realized that my mom was talking with my oldest sister. Needless to say she was strung out on drugs when she called. My mom starts to get upset and I can understand why. I would hate to see my daughter like that too. So the phone rang again and my mom didn't want to answer the phone nor talk to her, so I did. I am not as "sensitive" about the subject as my mom is. So I answered and the conversation went a little like this:
LaJean: Mom just called me
Me: No, she didn't you called the house
LaJean: Yeah, I called mom. Well, where is she?
Me: Well lets see, you called the house and she answered the phone. Therefore, she is at home since you just talk to her.
LaJean: I want to talk to mom
Me: She is lying down
LaJean: Why is she doing that?
Me: May be because she is tired
LaJean: Go wake her up
Me: I am not going to wake mom up
LaJean: Valerie
Me: LaJean
LaJean: Go wake mom up
Me: No
Now the best part of the whole conversation...
LaJean: You are the enemy
Me: I'm the enemy?
LaJean: Yes, you are the enemy
Me: Ha. Okay LaJean, bye
Sadly enough, I found this funny, yet really sad all at the same time. I have seen my sister twice in my life and the last time was at least 12 years ago. I have never really been tolerate about the whole issue. And people wonder why I have never wanted to have anything to do with drugs. I have been judged on the fact that people think that I am a goody good… fine, let them think that. I have really seen how drugs can mess up a person’s life, to say the least. It is just a bad situation. So, may be I am the enemy. I am the enemy with the aspect that I see my sister as this 30 something young old person and hasn’t done anything but been in and out of jail and on and off drugs. Once you are hooked, you are hooked for life. Unless, you want to make a difference… and I just don’t see that happening from her. We are complete different spectrums… May be I am wrong for not being sensitive about the whole matter. In my hearts of hearts, I truly wish there was a way to get to her.
Sorry, I just needed to get that out. So this enemy is out!
Until next time…
