S$&% list, here i am again...

Well, I'm back. Here on the blog, and about to be (if not already) on at least a couple people in my family's shit lists. I'll explain in a second.

Spring Break was okay. The "event" started the Friday i went home. I met mom and J over at J and Ph's apartment. While there, it was discovered that j had been having contractions, lasting for about 45seconds) every 5 minutes for over an hour. She called the obgyn, Ph carted her off to the hospital on his suggestion (J's due date is the 19th). mom and I stayed there, helped clean up a bit. They came back awhile later, saying she was in labor, but she wasn't dilated, and her water hadn't broke. Given the option of staying there to walk around for an hour or go home and rest, she chose the latter. So, Mon-Fri of my spring break, I spent at their apartment, having "preggo watch" as I coined it, while Ph worked night shift. It was fun, excluding the fact that J was still having contractions every 2 minutes. So at her obgyn appointment Wednesday, her doc told her that either way, she was having the Alienette Tuesday, and might have to have a C-section, seeing as even with the inducing drugs, they might not make her cervix dilate.So, god willing, I will be a proud Aunt this time tomorrow!

Now, onto the reason I'm on at least 1 or 2 people's shit lists in my family. As I have stated in the past (I think) my sister H and I are not the closest. Truthfully, we have no relationship. The times we have gotten along have been flukes in my opinion. Anyways, with what all happened with J, mom, J and I all tried to get a hold of H and her husband. Never heard back from them. Dad kept them in the loop via voicemail what was going on, since the never responded to texts, or voicemails, or even emails/facebook messages. And yet they were able to get on facebook.... So, on my way to class today, I called her husband, since we usually have better luck getting a hold of him. I told him what was going on with J tomorrow. His response was "we're ectied." However his tone didn't match. So before I went into class a little walk later, I called H, suggesting to her that since they've commiserated in the past over both of them being pregnant, and since J was probably failry nervous about the induction and probable C-section, that she should call her. Her response was "I'm busy with work, and since she's probably getting calls from everyone and their mother right now, I'll just leave her alone." I said "Fine, Bye."  and hung up on her. Needless to say I was peeved going into class.

And I can see where her explanation makes sense.She does work a long day, is pregnant herself, gearing up for an August deployment. However, her ability to not see how hearing from her would mean more than hearing from countless others that weren't pregnant or her sister, baffles me. Needless to say, I was "stewing" in class. So, around 8 or so, I sent her a text, saying "she may be hearing from many people, but none of them are also pregnant besides you and ph's sister-in-law &you trump that. busy yet can get on facebook?"  About 15minutes later, my phone was lighting up from her calling. I pulled the childish thing and ignored it. I ended up having to turn my phone off. Yes, it was catty to ignore, but in my (catty &pms-ing) mind, I was just returning what the rest of us have been getting from her forever. Sadly (from my perspective strangely) she did not leave a voicemail, or text back. No, but I am pretty the phone call she placed to our mother earlier may have had to do with me "stirring the hornets nest", so to speak.

That is why I have a feeling I'm at least on H's and her husband's shit lists. After she gets a hold of the parents, I might recieve some  stern phone calls at the very least from them. J might be peeved. Ph will be slightly peeved but find it kinda funny. I wouldn't even be surprised if our Aunt C might call me if she hears about it.

I know, you are not supposed to add stress to a pregnant woman, and to that sense I am slightly remorseful. But I will not apologize for calling her out on her being there just by lending an ear to J. do I wish the timing was better, yes. Do I think this is over just the fact she won't call J? Probably not. I have a feeling repercussions from this little "outburst" I'm having with her are going to be felt for a while.

Well, I'll get back to posting once a week after this week. I have a couple of big things due this class (PowerPoint presentation due Fri, 6-8 page paper critiquing the message of an episode of South Park-- ya, not as fun as it sounds) but I'll be able to post after I return from seeing my niece this weekend- going home to meet her since I can't be there tomorrow or Wednesday.

WEll, I'm off for a while. Laters.
