Thanks y'all for your encouragement on the situation with my sister. When it comes to her, I have a tendency to go into "Brian-mode," and I'm in it right now. I know that if the situation were reversed, that she'd worry about me, but there's something about wanting to protect your younger siblings. We're not really that far apart (16 months), but she's still my baby sister. And if I see her ex anytime soon, he better run hide! *g* Gotta run, it's time to leave for work again!

I really don't like being irritated as soon as I get up (before actually!), but that definitely happened this morning! I don't know that irritated is really the right word, though. See, my sister's room is right next to mine. At four o'clock this morning, her ex-fiance called her, telling her that he's going to have a nervous breakdown if she doesn't take him back. Thankfully, she refused, telling him that he better hope she never sees him again. He has hurt her way too many times. They were together for seven years, starting when she was only fourteen. He has never been faithful to her, but she would never accept it. Finally, she had no choice but to realize exactly what was going on. She's had a really difficult time with this whole thing, and she has just now begun to move on. She's gone back to school full-time, beginning a nursing program. If she ever mentioned it when she was with him, he discouraged her, because he didn't want her to work. I know home-making is best for some people, that's what I would want if I were married and had children (and could afford to do it *g*), but my sister has always been set on a career. She would never be happy solely as a homemaker. Now, she's living her life for herself and not him, just starting to recover. AND HE CALLS HER!!!!!!!!! If this sets her back into mourning, he better watch out! I've got to hurry though, if I don't, I'm gonna be late for work!
