Happenings
My sis:
I've finally found her a job. She went to a job fair and she met a lot of employers who were interested in her including Walmart. Drew from Walmart told her to come to see him to pick up an application. Well after finding out that she had to apply online she wasn't too interested. So I filled it out online for her. I spent just about an hour answering all those questions which I know she would have answered incorrectly. I know this because all of the jobs that ask for an online app has questions to ask and she hasn't passed any of them. She'd call the company and they'd tell her that she didn't pass the test.
After about a month Walmart called her in and she got the job. Of course I got nervous for her because they wanted her to do a drug test and immediately she got nernous. I knew my sis had smoked in the past but I didn't think she was still doing it. Well fortunately, she passed the pee test. I still don't know what her nervouseness was. So I told her along time ago when she decided that she could do what she wanted when she wanted to that she'd have to pay rent. I haven't enforced that rule even though I really really want to. She has no respect for me as her guardian. I had to take her to the emergency room in May and the bill was in my name because she was underage. So if i'm liable for her hospital bill I don't understand why she thinks she can just do what she wants with no regard to my feelings. It's not she's staying out late doing something productive. Recently, I was out with B and I sent her a text telling her that I would be home late. She sent me a text back saying that she was going bowling. I told B and we both started laughing. It was midnight and we don't have midnight bowling allys. They close at 10. Why she had to lie I don't know, but surely the next day she had a hickie on her next. I started to ask if the bowling ball hit her on the neck. I left it alone.
She's still communicating with the jail berg. It's not that I don't want her to not talk to him, I just don't want her to get so wound up in a guy who can't do a thing for her but bring her down. I've dated those guys before. As a matter of fact I was serious with a guy who had a number of things going against him--he didn't have a GED or a drivers license. Would you believe that that was five years ago and I saw him a couple of weeks ago and he still hadn't gotten his GED. WTF? Live moves on whether you are moving with it or not. I don't want her to lower herself because some dude tells her she's pretty or that he loves her. She needs to love herself first.
On Sunday I was going through her room and I found gin and some other type of liquor. I decided to ask her about it. We simply had a conversation and it donned on me that she was just a confused little girl. She kept saying that it wasn't because of peer pressure. Well, I didn't even bring up peer pressure at all. So that led me to believe that there was peer pressure she just didn't realize it. But she said that she was drinking cause she didn't want to think bout that bad stuff that happened to her. She kept being defensesive so I was careful with my words. I told her that living in the past could be detrimental. She said that she wasn't and that she was happy about where she was with going to school and to college. I told her that I was proud of her for that. I hope she listened to me a little bit cause one wrong move and her life could be screwed up and she would not only be battling things of the past, but things of the present too
