Feeling Chillin'
Fall is for playing indoors and good food!

So, what did I do today? Well, I did laundry and reorganized my tupperware cabinet and just did some household chores and I cooked a stew ALL day. I made one a few weeks back but THIS stew was delicious! Mmmm, mmmm!

Nothing better in the fall then a home cooked stew. I also made (not homemade, lol) bisquits to go with it. It was a warm, filling, and healthy meal.
I talked to my mom today she said that she arranged to pick my sister up to spend the day with her at her place so that they could have a heart to heart. My sister has reached out to my mom and I know that the baby has brought that on. Guess this baby is proving to be a blessing in disguis. My sister had alienated herself from our family. She had only been keeping in touch with me, though that was scarse. Sense the news of her being pregnant came out I haven't personally talked to her. I think it's because I had said something back in August to her that, "Thank goodness she didn't have a child in all this she was going through with her drug issues and that bringing a baby into this would not be a good idea" So I'm thinking she remembered that comment and that is why she didn't come to me. BUT, I am glad she has finally reached out to my mom. That IS a positive thing. Maybe this baby is giving her hope and she WILL try to cange her life around now. My mom told me that she told Taysha that I had left a message and that I had some maternity cloths that I held on to that she could have. She said she'd get in touch with me.
I'll be here for her always! She is my only living sibling (other then a step brother I really have never known well) And I am her big sis and so I will always be here for her. I have always wanted to help her, she has always been the one who hasn't been ready. Maybe she will be now, and if she is I'll help her in any way I can. When we were lil' girls we were very close. In a lot of ways I was like a mom to her. We lived with our father most of out childhood years and so we clung to each other a lot. My dad wasn't always a good father, but we knew he loved us and was doing the best he knew how. Girlfriends of his were never mother figures and so I grew up fast and protected my sister a lot. As I would put it is noone picks on my sister but me, lol!

Well, I guess that's it for tonight. Goodnight J-land!
