This has been a rough week. I had plans to fly up and see my mom who lives in South Dak. As the week has worn on I came to the realization that I need to stop in and have a firm talk with my little sister. So I have changed my reservation and ever since I did that I have been tense. It seems my sister has gotten herself into a drug situation and does not seem to understand the danger of what she is doing. She has admitted to doing crack which apparently is highly addictive.
Anyway, she has always blamed others for her problems and our parents have always bailed her out of situations. That has come to an end and she is spiraling downward. Since I was going to SD I have taken the responsibility to go and see her in order to have a talk with her. I do not want to do this. She is not easy to talk to because she gets defensive and lashes out with hateful remarks, brings up history stuff, she has even gotten violent by slapping me. I realize this is the drugs talking. I will write when it is all over with.

Family and Friends

Yesterday was such a fun day. After church I usually go out with some ladies for lunch, we always have such a grand time visiting and catching up with what our kids are doing and where we are all headed.
Later in the afternoon we went bowling with Lucas, Natalie and Wesley. It has been several years since my husband and I have bowled and so we were a little rusty but it was fun watching Wesley, who is 6 throw that bowl down the alley. After that we all went to dinner and then for a little drive.
Lucas and Natalie seem so happy and in love, I hope it works out for them. Lucas is trying to save for a house so we are helping him find just the right one.
