Makes sense... @Captain24
In the past, I have also been disappointed with changes that had a similar effect. I used to get very very down and low about it, but while I was recovering, I grasped the fact that perhaps whatever I was waiting for wasn't for me and that I could do it on my own.
An example of this was a possible admission to PARCS which I would've been waiting for. I vaguely remember that the admission didn't go ahead. At first I was upset but then I turned the opportunity and said that this happened for a reason, and perhaps I could prove that I COULD get through things on my own... AND I DID!
I'm not sure if this is coming through very clear... my brain is a bit messy tonight and I feel I've got so much to 'BLAH' but I can't BLAH it all out! @Captain24
As for your brother... I really don't know what to say except I hear how you feel about him calling you only when he needs something...
Can you get food from your parents? (Did you bro ask your parents for $$$ first?)
I just wanted to eat avocados. I had 5.. I just threw 4 out because I hadn't eaten them and they got old.. oops! Sorry to waste food. Do you like avocados?
With your friends, I'm glad you set some boundaries in protecting yourself. You have been doing so much better - you can't really afford to be pulled down now.
The little one??? She was cute yesterday. I got her her own first ever iced chocolate with cream on top. She was so excited. We also met her friend from daycare at starbucks so we went to the park and library together. She's starting school next year! She's such a baby!
My sister was saying to the eldest that the eldest was very good the other day, and the boy was also being very good (behaviour). Then the little one perks up, "So I guess I'm not good then?"
And a few minutes ago, I heard major SSCREAMING! I went over to their place... the little one didn't want to wear her night clothes because they felt too cold.... geezz.. these kids are princesses!
