I hate being negative on the boards, but I'm so upset right now, I need to ramble on somewhere. (warning, its long)
I've spent the past two days getting ready for Easter because my youngest sister was coming here with her husband, son, and three daughters. I've been running around having so much fun putting together Easter baskets for them and buying eggs and dye and such. I can't wait to have kids, I love doing that sort of thing
Well, she called around noon today saying that their car broke down on the way here, and that they were about 20 minutes away, so I drove out to pick them up. When we got back, I hung out with the kids in the living room while my sister was cooking lunch, and I almost melted with joy when my youngest niece, Hannah who is 6 asked if we could watch the Disney planning video. Do these kids take after me or what? I was so happy hearing them say "Ooh! Lets do that! Lets go there! Tell me about this ride!" it was GREAT! I'm supposed to inherit some money later this year, and my plans were to take the kids to WDW for a few days, so we've been having fun planning it. They even like watching the resort part of the video and picking out where to stay- its so cute!
After the video we went in to dye eggs, and I did my best to run back and forth helping everyone get the different dye kits set up, showing them ways to decorate the eggs, etc. Such fun! Then we spent the next couple of hours taking turns hiding them outside and finding them. Does it get any better than that?
This is where I get to break in with the not-so-fun stuff. At one point when I came in for a glass of water before helping Hannah hide her eggs, my sister stuck her head out of the bathroom where she was curling her hair and said "Go do the dishes so that mom doesn't have to." (My mom just had shoulder surgery on Wednesday, and its been practically impossible to get her to just relax, she keeps trying to do everything) I said something along the lines of "I'm right in the middle of a game with the kids, why don't you?" She was pretty rude with her answer, but I just blew it off and went to play with the kids.
After we were all worn out from egg hunting and the kids were ready to settle in and eat some chocolate bunnies, I was laying on the sofa half asleep with Hannah in my lap, braiding her hair and telling about the Princess breakfast in the castle. While I'm doing this, mom starts sweeping the kitchen floor, and my sister starts saying to her how awful it is that I'm not in there helping her, and how she is the only one who ever helps out. Being the rather sarcastic person that I am, I said something like "Yeah, its a good thing that you've been here all week so that you know what you're taking about, because it would certainly be embarassing to say something like that without knowing what you're talking about." Not the nicest thing to say, I know, but I've been helping out like crazy lately, so I was getting pretty frustrated by her implying that I wasn't doing anything. After that, I can hear her whispering about me to someone in the kitchen, so I jokingly say "Yeah, because I can't hear that." So, she SCREAMS in to me "I WAS SAYING WHAT A SPOILED INCONSIDERAT BRAT YOU ARE!". I seriously though she was joking at this point, because I certainly hadn't been taking any of it seriously. So, I just kind of laugh, and she comes into the living room and starts SCREAMING at me about how horrible I am for not being in there doing the dishes, and that I'm a horrible person, spoiled, inconsiderate, lazy, I never do anything, and on and on and on. I'm just sitting there staring at her for several minutes while she screams at me, and her kids are running off to hide because they are so scared. So after she has screamed at me for several minutes, I told her that she was an inconsiderate...um..."witch" for doing that in front of her kids, and on Easter of all days, and that if she has a problem with me, she should approach me like an adult, and I walked off. I was starting to cry because I had seen the look on her son's face, and I was so upset that she was ruining their day after all we'd put into it, and I didn't want her to think she had gotten to me. So, I go of in a back bedroom and calm down a bit, and when I go back out, she has thrown a plate of food across the kitchen, and there's food all over the floor, cabinets, etc. She's crying again how she is the only one who helps my parents out while she's cleaning it up, and I break in to mention that when my dad was in the hospital, I was there every day and she didn't visit once. That apparently got to her, because she starts screaming at me again, and her husband is trying to get her to just get in the car and leave, and she makes a big point of picking up the garbage she's thrown about and saying "No, *I* clean up messes when I make them..." and starts screaming at the kids to get their things together. One of the kids asks me if I've seen one of her eggs, and when I start to answer her, my sister screams that the girl is NOT to speak to me, that I'm not her aunt anymore. She goes on to say that she's never speaking to me again, and that I'm not her sister. I said something like "Good, I don't want to be associated with you." So, another session where she is screaming her head off at me, and I'm just standing there. She is getting VERY cruel, and I finally looked at her and said "**** off." I feel really bad for saying that in front of the kids. Now she starts screaming that NOBODY says that to her, that NOBODY can talk to her like that... as if two words are so very much worse than the ten minutes of horrible things she's been screaming at me. There are SO many things I could have said back, but I just stood there with my arms crossed and said "Get out." until she finally did. I was shaking like a leaf! My mom later told me that she seriously thought my sister was going to try to hit me. I was keeping up the not crying thing until my nephew turned to me and mouthed "Thank you" as they were leaving, at which point I just totally lost it and started bawling. It seems so unfair that someone like her gets such great kids. Her husband even came back in to say that she had no right to come into our house and do that.
So, that's my lovely Easter story. I still can't believe it even happend. I can deal with not seeing her, but its going to break my heart if I can't see the kids, I dont even know what I would do. She even left behind the set of marble magnets I had made her as an Easter present. How does she go from saying how happy she was that I made those for her to screaming at me just a few hours later?
I'm still trying to figure out what I did to start such a thing- I barely said ten words over the twenty minutes she was screaming at me. Does planning a fun day for her kids, rescuing her when her car breaks down, and playing with the kids all day make me such a horrible person?
Anyway, sorry again for the rant on what's supposed to be a day of celebration, but its nice to get it out!

{{hugs}} I think your sister needs hormones or something. I'm sorry she ruined the day for everyone.
