Catch Up!

I forgot to mention that JR and Landry got sick on the way home from the beach...JR seems to have gotten better - Landry is still having mucous problems, and two days ago Logan's nose started snotting up and yesterday I woke up with the nasty sore throat and some snot issues! YAY! Hopefully we can get through this crap quickly!
Moving along - last weekend my little sister graduated from Sam Houston State University. I can not tell you how proud I am of her. My parents left on Friday morning so that they could attend Vanessa's boyfriend, Kyle's, graduation. He graduated with a business degree and a minor in some sort of management. Vanessa graduated with a Mass communications degree and a minor is psychology. She will be working at the radio station this summer, as well as keeping her job at the church as a teacher's aide. She will be applying all over for her first big job. I am hoping she can work at abc in San Antonio. Anywho, on Friday morning, my older sister calls and leaves me a message asking me to help her out of a bind. I called and called and called but she never answered, nor called back until 7:30 that evening. At that time she said that she had overdrawn her account and didn't have any gas and wasn't going to be able to make it to Vanessa's graduation without help. She asked if she could ride with us. I told her that we didn't have any room for her and the kids in our car. So she asked if she could borrow $50 to get gas. I was so angry with her, I told her I didn't have it. She said she wasn't going to say anything to my mom until the last minute so that she didn't have to listen to her bitch! WOW - really grown up! After I thought about it for a bit, I called my mom and offered to put $25 in gas in Randi's car which would get her there and my parents could pay for the gas to get her home, but I refused to give her cash. My mom said that sounded great. So I call and call and call...FINALLY, at 9:30, she calls back I give her the offer, and she accepts. I tell her to meet me at the HEB in Kyle so I can put the gas in her car. I went over it and over it, telling her that she couldn't be any later that 9:15 - that I would be pulling out of the station at 9:16 with or without her. At 9:00am Logan's game had just ended so I call Randi to find out where she is...No answer. She texts me to tell me that Isaiah couldn't find his shoes so they are running late...and that they had just gotten to the Junction, because she had to go pick up her car in San Marcos....this was at 9:11 and it would put her (at the very minimum 35 minutes away) So, I called my mom to tell her that we weren't going to be waiting for Randi. my mom advised me to not call her and not answer the phone if she called me...so that is what I did. About an hour into the trip, my mom texts me to tell me that Amelio (Randi's boyfriend) filled up her car and she was on her way. I respond that I am happy she found a way to be there to support Vanessa. We get to Huntsville, go to Vanessa's house, change clothes and head to the school. We had to get there early to save seats for everyone so we arrived around 1:30...The commencement didn't start until 2:30...my kids were going stir crazy. Right after we got there, Randi sent my dad a text saying that she was lost, which is actually pretty shocking considering she has been to Huntsville numerous times to visit her ex-boyfriend in the Huntsville prison. At 2:45 she sends my dad another text saying that she never made it to Bryan (which is an hour outside of Hunstville) because she ran out of gas, her phone is dead and that she and the kids are on the side of the road! Hmmm...how can you text if your phone is dead? How did you run out of gas if your boyfriend filled up the tank? Ohhh...it turned out he only put $25 in gas in her car. Again, pretty funny, since I have the exact same car she does and $25 will get you all the way there! Apparently my dad and her continued to text back and forth...again STRANGE, she must have a very special phone because I have never been able to send a text with a dead phone! Finally, I just put my thoughts on Randi to the back burner. I enjoyed Vanessa's graduation, we went to dinner afterwards and had a really amazing time. It was a very special day for her. When we were getting ready to leave my dad said he was going to go buy a gas can and some gas and go look for her.... It was 7:30 when we left the restaurant. The next day I got on facebook and had a message from my mom...saying that they had passed Randi right outside of Huntsville. So I am not sure how she got there, or why it took her 6 hours to travel 1 hour. My mom said that the kids hadn't had anything to eat, so my parents put gas in her car and ed the kids and she followed them home. I guarantee that she was never on the side of the road...she hung out at home until she realized her story wasn't passing the test, dad was asking too many questions, so she go in her car and drove to Huntsville, only to pass up my parents on their way home. Once again, Randi had to make sure she was the center of attention on someone else's special day! Typical!
So that was that...and even though I have spent this blog talking about how shitty my older sister is...I should tell you that my little sister is AMAZING! I am seriously so incredibly proud of her! I can't wait to see where her road leads!
