The Wrath of Gidget...

Picture this:

10:30 pm, receive phone call from sister stating boyfriend is being a jerk, is getting drunk and doing stupid stuff......she's staying at a friend's house...

~12:30/1:00 am, receive phone call from sister but she says she'll talk to me sometime today since I was asleep.....

~3:15/3:30 am, receive phone call from sister because her drunk boyfriend broke in the door of the friend's apartment, breaking the glass, and starting a fight with said friend....my sister was hiding in the closet, crying and afraid of what he would do to her if he found her. She couldn't get ahold of my brother and didn't want to call our parents (they have a good relationship with her boyfriend). It's not that he's a bad kid, he has problems mostly stemming, I believe, from his less than Donna Reed-like childhood. His father more often criticizes him than offers any parental support and he's been on his own financially for several years. He drinks too much and lets that be an excuse for losing his temper.

~3:45 am, I call my sister and left a voicemail asking if she was ok and if she had gotten ahold of our brother....

~3:50 am, I call my brother and left a voicemail asking if our sister had spoken to him....

~4:40 am, receive call from sister stating she had called our parents, dad put plastic over the broken glass areas of the door (my parents own that apartment building anyway), and she was safely ensconsed at home under the watchful eye of our mother.

~8:20 am, receive call from brother who asks "Soni, what's going on?" lol I replied "Boy, did you miss some drama!!" I related the story, shared some Sadie antics (since he's her first daddy and I knew he'd laugh), and then hung up. I couldn't tell if he was angry or what.

~ 9:20 am, receive call from sister who relates she's at my brother's house (where she also has a bedroom and where Jill the Wonder Dog is currently residing while raising her puppies), and yes, our brother is very angry.

~ 9:40 am, I call our parents and chatted for awhile. They had already spoken to the boyfriend about what happened. They told him that while they think the world of him, that he shouldn't be with their daughter right now. He'd have to earn her trust back and he has problems he needs to work on.

Can I take a nap now? I was wanting to be on the road by now but that's not going to happen.....;) I still need to take a shower, pack and load the truck!! Oh well...the vet's office will be open another day I guess...
