Well, going down somewhat. I am going to Zumba classes tomorrow and Sunday. Things in life are busy.
I am really loving my new (3 months) job as a paralegal. It's fun and the perfect fit for me! I'm still learning new things everyday.
There has also been family drama with my sister. She has a horrible boyfriend, but she always picks these types. We are very concerned for her because he has all the signs of potential physical abuse. I mentioned this to her last night. Besides that, he is an alcoholic, can't hold a job, is rude, crass, red neck, manipulative, a liar, just a general loser. I'm not a judgmental person normally, but he's truly awful. He recently took a job in Florida, which I'm sure he won't have long, and she's moving down there with him. I think this is a horrible choice. Anyhow, I want to tell her the things I've observed/heard he's done and that he's not a good choice, but I've already told her about the physical abuse potential and I don't think she'd listen to me regarding the other anyway. Plus, she's an adult, she's just going to do what she wants and so, is it my business or "place" to say I just don't like the guy?
Ok, sorry for this rant, but it's been a huge weight on me lately.
Off I go for a busy weekend:
Karaoke with work folks tonight
Zumba tomorrow
Nephew's soccer game
Fundraising event
Zumba and
Scottish Country Dancing
plus just normal household chores!

I'm so glad that you're still loving your job - yay!! As far as your sister situation goes, that sucks.. She's definitely in denial about what a scumbag the guy is, and I don't know if she'll listen to anything you say. It's an awful situation to be in, because either way you risk pushing her farther away, right towards him. If you keep hounding her about how horrible he is, she won't want to hear it and will pull away, but if you don't say anything, you risk her just never seeing it for herself. I don't know what to say.. I guess it's best if you can make sure to talk to her about it when you are both in a very quiet, calm, private place - not in the middle of a big family get-together or anything like that. And have some hard evidence to try to 'prove' what a loser he is.. ugh. Sorry you're dealing with that - it's scary that she will be moving away with him too.. Well.. hope some other buddies can help you out more than I can.. have fun at Zumba anyway! Sounds like a great weekend!

You're right, we've been trying not to push her away so that she still feels like she can come to us, but it's so hard seeing her throwing her life away!

Yuck yuck.. what a crummy situation! Keep on being there for her (as hard as it might be) - but don't sugercoat your feelings about him. Let her know you love her and will always be there for you, but he's just not a good guy. Maybe ask her where she sees her life going with him.. Does she think he would actually be a good husband/dad some day??
