I was sitting here minding my own business when my phone rang, jolting me out of my reverie. It was my older sister Melinda. She sounded sort of upset. Her inner witch emerged quickly.
�Sissy, you are going to need to go buy a red candle and a white candle. Terry is creating problems for Renee and the kids.� She sounded scared.
In her religion, people burn candles for luck and protection, but I�m not really sure what her religion is exactly. It�s not satanic or even remotely dark, it�s not cult-ish. I think a lot of what she believes in is the powers of good and God. She believes whatever you do to others comes back to you threefold, so you must be careful of your actions. I know with certainty what kind of person my sister is�and she is loving, caring, honest and good.
If anything, I know my sisters. Even though their polar opposites, I know them both very well. I got them pegged.
Melinda�s all about flowy dresses and forgiveness and white light. Renee is all about sadness and gimme�s and men and revenge.
I wish Renee wasn�t that way. Sometimes I see glimpse�s of the person she used to be, but she�s changed and I don�t recognize her anymore. She let life do that to her.
I think most people would call Mindy a white witch, from my research. Don�t tell anybody, it�s a secret. She gets upset about my family possibly judging her. She�s probably right that they wouldn�t understand, after all, to them it might be new-age hooey. So, I keep her secret to myself. And of course you all know about it now.
As far as Renee, I knew it. I want to smack her. She had a support system here, but she left. This is giving me a headache and dangit I can�t sleep.
God, why doesn�t she think about stuff before she does it? Why did Renee have to go back there to Tennessee to a house that Terry knew about??? Does she have a death wish?
I guess the latest news is that Terry called the health department and reported them for having too many people in a one-bedroom mobile home. Jerk. He�s also driving Renee nuts by calling and threatening her. Boy, if I just had five minutes with the jerk I could make sure he never picked on or stalked another woman, and I�d ensure he wouldn�t be able to father any more kids either.
I�m not afraid of him. But Renee is. That�s what terrifies me. Knowing she�s afraid. If I had a wish, it would be for Renee to never fear again.
I�m really worried about the kids. Part of me wishes I�d told her to keep them here, but I couldn�t do it. I must be honest with myself. I would probably go nuts with 3 kids ages 6, 7 and 8. Even if it was for a short period of time.
I guess I could do it if I had to. I�m such a wiener.
Hey, I qualified for my first credit card in 4 years. I found this company through a friend who works for mortgage companies and I�d asked her how I should go about rebuilding my credit.
My limit is very, very low. I have to pay a minimum payment every month. But I got approved. Yay!
Romy thinks my car finally showed up on my credit report. Well, it should. I paid out over $12,300 on that car in 3 years. They�d BETTER notate my credit report or it will be on, sister!
