Ugh
My sister is coming back. Her and her two kids. Then her husband. Who knows when. And it’s not necessarily that i don’t want her here. That’s not it it’s just that once she’s here i’m afraid of the chain of events that will transpire once she is here. I’ve been dreading them and i don’t know why because she’s not.
I’ll try to make a long story short. My sister is the youngest of us three girls from Toni. She is married to Steven who is in the army. He is supposed to get out. He was supposed to get out awhile ago, but then the war started and he got shipped out. This is completely understandable to normal people. This is what happens to millions of people who join the army for the GI bill and the college tuition, what they’re gambling on is that we don’t go to war while their in the service because when we do they don’t get out.
I have a saying about my sister. It is: “Stephanie can fall in a vat of shit and come out smelling like a rose.” I love my sister don’t get me wrong, she’s my baby, but she’s spoiled and somehow things ALWAYS work out in her favor.
Anyway, when he was going to get out they were going to move here and live in Toni’s house that is right above grandma’s. when my mother got married the third time she moved into town and rented that house out. Lots of times to family members…with various results. I’ve moved into that house quite a number of times with them because they were helping me out and my parents would hassle them for it. (another long story). The people that are currently renting the house have put a lot of work into the yard and have been there awhile and have been really good tenants. They’ve even offered to buy the house, but Lamar, my hypocrite of a stepfather told them that house is for his daughter, Stephanie. Well (this is not why he’s a hypocrite…another long story…) Stephanie is not his daughter. He adopted her, fine but still…he also tried to have her kidnapped and sent off to a youth retraining prison in utah (another long story). And if you’re keeping track, there are THREE daughters, but apparently the house is only being saved for the ONE daughter…hmmmmm. Fuckers.
So Stephanie has said she wants to live there now, rent the house now with her family. She wants those other people kicked out and she can move in. and i said, “Stephanie, they’re good tenants they’ll have no reason to kick them out.” To which she informed me (i’m still researching this) that a landlord can kick someone out if it’s for a family member. WTF? I can KINDA see it if say it was a hardship condition, deep depression in the country and they had NOWHERE to go, but none of those conditions apply so again. WTF? And how can my sister do this. how can my sister with good conscience move a family out of the house they’ve lived in and put a lot of work into.
A couple of weeks after i started my garden, i noticed him out tilling the garden at the other house and thought oh shit. Please don’t let Stephanie come because that looks like a looooot of work. And sure enough over the weeks, the garden took shape and now looks wonderful. Lots of corn and squash and tomato plants. Man i feel bad. And i kept hoping he wouldn’t get his orders and they wouldn’t be coming. For a week there they were thinking of moving to Tennessee near his family and i thought AWESOME. They’ll leave those poor people alone…but no Stephanie just called this morning. Steven hasn’t gotten his orders yet, he should be getting them soon but they said even when he gets them it will take him a week to get the rest of the paperwork in order before he can leave the base. Well, Steph aint waitin. She’s leaving tomorrow morning and should be here Saturday and as soon as she gets here she wants Toni to give those people notice.
What’s wrong with my family that i’m the ONLY one that feels bad about this?
