Life just loves to throw you a curve every once and a while. I don't know why, but it always happens. Usually when you least expect it or want it to occur.
I had actually thought that things were going right for me for once. Normally if this occurs it doesn't last for long. Usually no more then a few, maybe four, days at the most. But for the past two weeks things had been actually going right between me and my family. I mean yeah, there were little things that caused slight problems, but nothing that isn't normal. But, yesterday that all fell apart.
Apparently I am a bad sister because I wouldn't cut an apple up for Margaret. The girl is twelve and wants to babysit, but can't cut an apple up? I find that stupid and slightly confusing. She couldn't do it herself because apparently " I don't know how. No one has ever shown me and I don't know what the apple slicer [corer] looks like." She then spent the next forty-five minutes screaming and crying at me that I have to help her.
My refusal is what prompted the clam to fall apart. Keep in mind that prior to this she called my mom at work (big no) asking what she was allowed to make for lunch and my mother told her to figure it out and make something by herself. I had multiple things thrown at me, some which actually, trust me, hurt when making contact with the human body. There were also many things shouted at me which really hurt. Most actually hurt more then the things that were thrown at me.
She was supposed to apologize to me, according to my mom, but wouldn't do it before I left the house last night. I tried not to think about it while I was gone and tried to just have fun. I thought I had succeeded but guess not so much. When I got home I found a tiny note stuck near my door. It was the required apology note. But, the sentiment just didn't seem to come through. An apology isn't that affective when it says "I'm only doing this cuz mother is making me. If I don't I can't go to a friend's house tomorrow."
Yeah, reading that totally ruined my night. I had actually forgotten the whole situation while I was gone. I had had some fun and hadn't thought about the situation while I was gone. Coming back and reading that made it come back to light and made me think.........and you know that that is never a good thing. Made what was a happy and fun night, become sad and lonely.
