I got an interview! :)The staffing agency sent my resume over to that company that wants to hire someone and they liked my resume so I have an interview tomorrow at 12:30.

I gave almost all my clothing to my sister dearest so I'm off to go and buy a more appropriate interviewing outfit. Today I wore lined dress capri's (black) and a nice dress shirt, but I felt weird because it wasn't interviewy enough.

I'll be on later tonight! :)

YEA KACEY!!!!! (yes, I was shouting that! Shouting with joy for you!)
 
Wa-hoo, Kacey!! And temp-to-hire, too! So cool. I'm sure you'll wow them.
 
ya know, I have heard the saying "God helps those who help themselves" and I agree, but I also know that "God helps those who CAN'T help themselves.....not WON'T but CAN'T". Big difference there. Your sister is able to help herself and her daughter, but it was easier to let you do it. Now she will use your Mom until she has had enough and then MAYBE she will help herself!

I have a brother that just doesn't understand why work is so much like.....well, work! He has been waaaay down and brought himself up again, but never with out the help of our bio Dad, our Mom or me. Well, bio Dad passed away last year, Mom is busy taking care of my dying Daddy (figure that out!) and I am done with "helping" bro out of jams. He is talking about going to Iraq to drive the big rigs thru the war zone.....can you even imagine someone wanting to do this???:eek: I mean it is bad enough to be in the military and have this be part of your job, but to actually volunteer to go to a war zone and it is all for $100,000...tax free....as long as he stays out of the USA for 1 year! I chewed him up & spit him out on the phone when he told me this...how selfish & greedy can you be???
Anyway, my point was about your sister-she may never be able to help herself, but you can't do it for her. She is going to get to a point, hopefully, that she will see all that you and DH have done for her. You just need to keep praying for her.
Good luck with your interview, you big haired, sweet tea swillin', souther-girl wanna be! xo

It is now......

I'm proud of you for no longer enabling your sister's behavior. She will be fine. And if she's not, it's not your fault.
 
YEAH! On the interview!Kacey - I would really demand your stuff back - seriously! That's WAY past the limits...sigh...Hopefully things are looking up though and you get some peace again.I'm glad your mother isn't as bad as you thought she was! ;)
