This isn't an earth shattering post but it sure is "curious". As you all know I am 70 and have two older siblings remaining. My sister I have mentioned before is a rather loveable motor mouth who believes that she and her husband "know" National politics inside out and goes on...and on...and on about her far right ideals. on the other hand, lol, she is a good person. My big brother is a retired Colonel who has gotten stranger and stranger since his wife passed some years ago.
Yesterday he called me after over two years+ of silence. We have "always" talked on St. Patty's Day andshared menu's and songs and old family stories. My calls (usually he called me since I am the poor one) went unanswered. I knew I had not been unkind etc. and finally figured it must be because he feels that I have sacraficed my life for the grandchildren and he held me in distain.
Well, people, he called yesterday crying and asking if I would forgive hm. That was a no brainer, lol. Then he tells me that he quit calling me because I never answer the phone at night and he figured I was avoiding him. WTH! I've been pulling the plug on the phone at 8 every night for a few years. I am a senior citizen who works full time and parents a difficult child...I need some rest. Plus, I'm not only available at the store number every day..I have a blankin' toll free number.
Life is weird, people! We talked for two hours (that turned out to be on my dime, lol) and he is happy to be back in sync. Meanwhile in my head I'm thinking "how stupid is that", DDD
