Whine, no cheese

My sister is visiting my Mother. She was in Charleston to get together with a bunch of friends and decided to give Mom a day of visit and do her laundry at the same time. My sister lives on the San Juan Islands in Puget Sound. She has three children and the world revolves around her. Always has.

The first fallout of her visit is that Mom is now, once again, insisting that she pick me up at the airport at Thanksgiving. You may remember that we had a go-round about this several months ago. And, now, apparently, we shall do it all again.

I am not rational when it comes to my sister. I don't think I ever have been. She is 18 months younger than I am and we share no characteristics or traits. We share some memories but not many as she remembers things very differently. I used to feel guilty about not liking her but I've gotten over that.

Mom is fairly realistic about her but, at the same time, loves her like a daughter (go figure) and really loves her children. To be honest about it, I am jealous in the kind of way that says that someone who is so self-centered and uncaring about others and causes so much upheaval and trauma should suffer and not be rewarded by Mom's acceptance. When it comes to my sister, I have the maturity level of about a 4 year old and it's been this way for about 50 years. I don't see it getting better.

Once Mom goes, that's it. I will never have to deal with my sister ever again. And I get the final word - I am the executor of Mom's will. She (my sister) believes that Mom has about 5 times the money she actually does. And she has been counting on that money for a long long time. She's going to be in for quite a shock and I am going to get to deliver it.

If I die before Mom, please know that the bitch cheated me again... Am I proud of this? Nope. I'll be glad when she leaves Mom's, goes back home and I don't have to hear about her again until the next time the serpent surfaces. And I can go back to thinking that I am a not a psycho psyster.
