08/06/2010: "Waiting For The World To Change!"

It's drizzling this morning so I'm killing time until we can go to work. I'm looking forward to a few cooler days this weekend.
Yesterday, my niece finally emailed me back with excuses as to why the kids felt they could trash the rock house. She admitted she told them not to mess with it but says they heard it would be torn down anyway, so that's why they kicked it in. No one there would have said it was going to be torn down, and why is it okay for them to even mess with it when they were told not to.
I'm going to have to get over my disappointment of their actions, but I still think they need some consequences.
I really don't want there to be any fights among our family but I think it's time for us all to get a grip.
No more excuses, just do it, get over it, stop slowly killing yourself, cut loose anyone who is pulling you down with them, even your so called best friends who continue to dump on you and take, take, take. When you finally voice your opinion about their behavior and say you want to work on your own life, they say a real friend stands by you no matter what. There just has to be a point when you can no longer get sucked into their drama.
My brother is now having to wear a wrist band and not leave the house until his court date, so apparently he's been in trouble again. I just can't condone his behavior. I've been around addicts all my life, whether it was drugs or alcohol or both, and won't be around it anymore.
It's not that I never did anything wrong or have never taken anything that's bad for me but there's a time when we have to grow up and start thinking of someone other than yourself.
I was looking forward to having the family all together, but when I saw he was just on another prescribed medication, I'm assuming it was prescribed or he had been drinking, but I felt let down again. If and when he's ever off all the drugs and alcohol, I'll welcome him back into my arms, but I doubt that will happen before he destroys himself. What a way to waste your life away. You're not going to be able to take back all those years but you can change the rest of your life.
This wasn't a very uplifting blog but I just felt it needed to be said again. "Let's All Dance" anyway.
