oh the pain...

So now it's my turn to be injured....

I was pulling some dishes out of the sink and managed to slice the tip of my finger on a rather sharp knife! Man does it hurt!

I refuse to sit in a hospital waiting room for 4+ hours for a stitch or two...but if the bleeding doesn't get under control that may be what I end up doing. I've got it all bandaged up but the throbbing is almost unbearable...and I'm probably not helping it by typing...not to mention how unbelievably hard it is to type with a huge wad of gauze and bandaids on the end of your finger lol.

I came on here to blog about the impromptu family reunion I am apparently hosting for Easter weekend...not at all what I had in mind for the long weekend....but my brother is flying out and staying the weekend...yes the estranged brother that I haven't had much to do with for over 3 years because of the way of life he's chosen for himself...but alas my mom is all about helping him out when he's down...and I really shouldn't blame her...he is her baby and regardless of the life paths the boy chooses I'd like to think I'll always be there for him no matter what...but does that include when he's been abusive to almost everyone in his life?? Or how about when he's spent so much of his life on illegal drugs that he's just not the same person anymore??? I just hope I don't have to make that choice as he gets older.

So my brother will be flying in on Good Friday and then my mom will drive down to pick him up here and most likely stay a day or two. Then it's her plan to take him up north to live with her...I just hope they can get along...they are so much alike that they clash all the time...I wonder why it works that way???

Anyways, I guess my whole beef with it all is that I was not informed of any of this by either my mom or my brother...my dad called yesterday and asked if I knew what the plan was and he was shocked that I hadn't been told what they were planning when afterall they are going to need a place to stay!
