my sister was expecting a baby, due the first week of july.
she lost it about 2 weeks ago, on a friday.
my mother call me frantic, asking if i had spoken to my sister.
Just got back last night from visiting and taking care of my sister. Had been there since Friday night. It was so hard to leave her. I cried most the way home on the plane flight. I had the good sense to get a window seat and brought plenty of tissues.
My parents got back form their cruise Sunday night. They didn'teven bother calling to see how sis was doing. I called on Monday to see if the parental units were O.K. and I got cold indifference...amazing.

it's weird.
i haven't been to a meeting in eight years, but at least once a month, i have a dream that i'm at a meeting or out in service or at an assembly or in some other witness-related situation.
it's like those school dreams where you dream you have a calculus final that morning and you haven't been to class all semester.
Yep, I do too.

here in the "arctic" northeast, people are beginning to wear their sandals again.
i hate sandal season.. there are a few people with good hygeine and ok looking feet that can pull off the sandal look.
the rest should not be allowed into public without socks and shoes.. i am sick of seeing callouses, dry skin with foot flakes falling off, dirty feet, even worse--dirty toenails, toenails that have not been trimmed (i do not want to see anything but nails trimmed all the way down), corns, fungus, bunions, deformations, etc.
Look up?

here's the dirty dozen: .
1) ants- imagine being buried in a sandpile up to your neck with sand.
along come a bunch of ants from an ant colony, and they crawl all over your head, in and out of your nose, your mouth, your ears, your eyes, and all thru your hair.
I dont like moths and could never walk through a butterfly zoo. Freaks me out!

Thank you everyone for your replies. I really appreciate it.
My sister is such a strong woman but for once she just wanted our mother to act like a mother and be really concerned about what was going on. This wasn't about my mother, it was about the terrible circumstances my sister was and still is going through.
My sister's baby dies and she nearly dies because of loss of blood (I am proud to say that my sister took blood too, mom wasn't too happy about that but she couldn't do squat). They induced her but she couldn't deliver the baby so they had to do a c-section. On top of all that her blood pressure is very high and the doctors were afraid that her kidneys were starting to fail.
Then my mother pulls a crazy and tries to place blame on her sick daughter. My mother even told the nurses that my sister has pulled crap like this before, has tried to kill herself, and she always knew she was crazy. The only one who came off looking crazy was my mother.
But I am proud to say that my sister's sistergirlfriends were there and I'm so glad they were. They helped my sister get through the worst of it and she's so amazed that people outside of the family cared so much for her to drop everything and come to her aid and did their very best to help and support and give love to her. I will always be grateful to my sister's sistergirls.

Thanks girlfriend. ((((((hugs)))))
I'm flying out there this Friday and staying til Tuesday. Hubby was able to get a few days off. Mom and Dad will be back from their cruise this Sunday. Not that I'm expecting them to call my sister, but it should prove interesting if they do.

My sister was expecting a baby, due the first week of July. She lost it about 2 weeks ago, on a Friday. My mother call me frantic, asking if I had spoken to my sister. I said no. Mother proceeds to tell me that my sister had lost the baby and is in the hospital. She stated she wished we all lived closer, I live in Indiana, my sister lives in Texas, and my mother lives in California, and should she fly out to see about my sister. I told her to go, it's your daughter and she needs you. Mother hops a plane that day and flies out to Texas to take care of my sister. In the meanwhile my sister's friends find out what happens and they fly out from all points of the US, to see about my sister also. My mother is a jealous woman when it comes to her kids, especially about the friends of my sister. Doesnt like any of them, feels she's in competition with them, felt that even though it was her daughter in the hospital after losing her baby and fighting for her life because of an elevated blood pressure and the threat of kidney failure, her daughter's attention should only be focused on her. My mother proceed to make an ass of herself. Making snide comments, not showing up at the hospital until noon, acting distance then suddenly possesive about what is going on with my sister. I was speaking to my mother as this was going on and at one point mother tells me that she's thinking of going home since my sister really doesnt want or need her there since she has all of her "friends" around. I told my husband what my mother said and he said she should quit thinking of herself and stay there to support her daughter. I agreed. But less than 5 days after my mother got there crap (for want of a better word) hit the fan. Mother has a fight with sister, in my sister's hospital room and is ejected from the hospital by the nurses. Mother goes to a relative's house. I can't reach her for a day (she turned off her cellphone) and have no idea where she is. I call my sister and find out that mother picked a fight with my sister. I call my father, he says that they had an "incident" and that mother is at the relative's house. I call the relative's house and mother proceeds to tell me her side of the story. But knowing my mother she's not taking any blame for her actions, and totally blames my sister like she was the one behaving badly. Mother hangs up on me because I'm not taking her side. My father gets into a fight with my brother because my brother is not taking mother's side. Sister is really hurt because of my mother actions and now refuses to talk to her, not that my mother is even trying since she thinks she is the victum.
The kicker: My parents went on a cruise 5 days after my sister was re-admitted to the hospital.
