Just Simply Holly

You know, I may not have much to offer as far as things and money go, but the one thing that I do offer to the people in my life that are important to me is loyalty.  If there is something I can do to help them, I will, if they need to talk, I listen.  I just got a phone call from my sister a couple of minutes ago.  This is the same sister whom we helped paint and prepare her new home every weekend for 3 months charging them not a single dime for any of the work we did.  Yes, they did give us a beautiful entertainment center once they moved into their new home, but there was also another agreement between us and them as to a used Chevy S-10 pickup that we were to buy from them for $500.  They knew that we were waiting for our student loans to come in to buy this from them and they were perfectly fine with that.  That was until I talked to her this morning.  It appears as if someone has made them an offer on said truck and, well, they’re in a “bind” right now and really need the money.  Her exact words were “I know you guys are in a jam right now because of your car breaking down and that you’re basically down to one vehicle and you were planning on buying this, but we had someone else make an offer, so basically now it’s going to go to whoever brings us the cash first”.  EXCUSE ME!?!?!

I’m done!  I told my husband that it’s simply time for me to cut ties with my family!  I’m tried of crap like this!  I’m tired of being told one thing one minute then them turning around the next minute and changing their minds!  I’m tired of the fact that whenever she calls and says she needs me, whether it’s to come and help her do something or just someone to talk to, that I’m there for her, but when the table is turned, she could care less!  I’m just tired!
