Help! I'm stuck in Washington State with My twin sister and I can't get home!  |
| |
| Fist of all I want to appolgize to all of my friends for being MIA I am Washington State. I left home on Thursday of last week to come and help my older sister clean out our Grandmothers home. Our Grandmother is 90 and is living in a board and care home. We are getting her home ready to put on the market to sell. I came up to help clean it out and then bring my 10 year old nephew home for two weeks to stay with me. Well I cannot do anything with my older sister without my twin getting involved. My twin is really jealous of anything we do so guess who is here. I do love my twin a lot but ahhhhhhhhhhhh she drives me bananas. She treats me like I do not know anything. Now I have survived 31 years of marriage without her, raised two kids nicely without her and put myself through RN school without her, but guess what I seem to be so stupid around her. She decided I needed to go up to Whidby Island to see our dad and his wife. Great we took off yesterday, twin driving. Twin cannot find here way out of a paper bag with one end opened up. So she has a gramen. The Gramen she programed but does not follow the directions because she turnes to early. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Then she pulled out infront of someone, and then ran two red lights. OMG SHE IS GOING TO KILL US. We somehow made it to the island. I have to get up at 4am Tuesday morning to go home. Twin I need to get back to Granny's to sleep. The twin wants to go to the ocean and pick up rocks. We did not leave the island until 9PM. Then it is a two hour drive to our Granny's home where are staying. On the way to our Granny's home twin decided we needed to take an 45 minute detour to Monore WA to see her son. aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh. I am so tired. Our older sister called and said she could not get her son on the plan to fly standby with me. Older sister works for the airlines so they fly standby. NOW WHAT DO I DO. Do I stay another day? Do I have my twin drive us home to CA another two days in the car? Do I go home without my nephew and say so sorry? How am I going to get my stuff I want of my grandmothers home? Well at 11pm last night I learned that the flights where wide opened for today Wednesday so nephew could fly standby with me. So I stayed another day. Twin stayed Until 12:30AM to visit her son. We did not get back to Granny's until 2AM this morning. Boy did I want to go to bed. Noooooooooooo twin wanted to talk. It was 3AM before she left me alone so I could sleep. Then up at 7am on the go today. I did nap for a few minutes. Now TWIN IS SLEEPING ON OLDER SISTERS COUCH and I have packing and lots of do before tomorrow because we ran around and did a lot of twins stuff today. She sat down on older sister's counch to watch the news and she is asleep. I need to get back to Granny's and pack and I cannot get there. aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh. My older sister is working over time, her husband is making dinner and I am stuck here mad as heck at my twin. I am so tired, my feet are swollen and I have lots of stuff todo. She finally is asleep. aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh. It will be another long day without much sleep and I will go home tomorrow and cannot sleep in the airport because I will be traveling with a child. I need to be alert. I love my twin but you have to do things on her time. She has not sence of time when it comes to anything anyone else has to do. Last night I kept saying "I am so tired, lets go." she did not take the hint. Well her son finally said "Mom its time you left" She got up and we left. I told her son my nephew "Thank you" I am sorry to lay this out on you guys but I needed to vent. What would have do if you could not have gotten your nephew on the plane with you. Would have you left and said so sad? Would you have stayed another day? I will try to catch up on discussions when I get home. | | | | | |

| | Sorry this has taken me so long to answer,I got home Wednesday night late and then stayed up all night with food poisioning and yesterday also. I was so sick now I am better. My older sister called me she was having the same problems with my twin as I was. I do love my twin but she needs to grow up and not be so insecure and also think of someone else some time. | | | |

| | sounds like a nighmare. I would have stayed the extra day also. It is too hard to let a child down. Your twin, mmm I think you really have to stand up to her and just say no. Its time to do things your way. Was she born first? Just wondering. Hope you get home safe and sound and catch up on some zzzzzzzzzz's | | | | | | |

| | My twin is 10 minutes older than I am. She is so insecure at times. She has not sense of time, she lives in her own world when it comes to time. Last time we where together she kept wanting to talk to people who where busy and needed to work and she wanted to stop and talk to them. I kept having to tell her to let the people do their work. Now she did not care if I needed my sleep. She called me twice today. Once I spoke to her and once I was not at home. She is so insecure I swear. She needs counseling. | | | |

| | Soumds like she is very dependant on you even although I dont think she realizes it. You sound like a strong person. You may just have to shut your phone off when you need you time and some zzzz time. | | | |

| | You are right. Sometimes I screen her calls. She is with her mother in-law now so she will not be calling me in for a few days. My twin is so jealous of my education, she had the same chances in life I did for education and chose another path but wants so badly to think she knows how to be a RN. She worked for a few months as an CNA in a nursing home. Now she thinks she knows it all. She is one of those people who does not have the education to know when she does not know it. She spots things off like they are fact when she has not clue. I feel for her. | | | |

| | Oh tea, you poor thing! I'm just exhausted reading all that! Wow! Your twin is too much! I guess you too are not exactly alike! That is unbelievable the way she had you running around like that and you couldn't do anything about it. I could never have kept my mouth shut like you did. I would have lost it and put my foot down! You acted so nice and didn't lose your temper and tell her off. What a great sister you are! And you're twins! That's so unbelievable! You would think she would know you better. I thought twins thought alike, guess not! Has she always been like that? It must have been so hard growing up with her. I hope you were able to get everything done that you needed too and had a restful trip home with your nephew. Will be looking forward to having you back on mylot when you are rested from your trip! Take care and get back safely! Your friend, opal | | | | | | |

| | One thing about twins is alot of the time they are the opposit and we are. twin never has had a job where she has had to worry about the time in a long time. She loves people and loves to talk and does not think about anyone but her self. I tend to bite my tongue instead of saying things I need to say. My twin is so sensitive and she cannot handle the truth. I told here she snores and you would have thought I told her she smelled! She is so insecure and I think it is getting worse. She needs counseling so badly and will not get it. She takes things out of proporation and makes them bigger than they are. Our older sister does not have any patients to deal with our twin. I do not know which is worse for my twin, the way I am to soft on her or the way our older sister is so short on her. Oh well we do what we can right or wrong. The flight was fine and we are having a great time with our nephew. | | | |

| | The flight home was another thing and they lost one of my bags. It would be the one with all the old family photos in it. I heard today the bag was in Los Angeles and going to be shipped to FResno CA. I have not heard that it made it to this part of CA yet. I hope they found it. It it full of a lot of valuable antiques from our grand mothers home. I am so sad. | | | |

| | The one trouble with my twin she thinks she knows it all. She has to tell everyone how to do things and it you do not do it here way she pouts. She needs to grow up! She is getting worse instead of getting better with age. | | | |

| | That's a shame. I have found as we have grown older I have gotten closer to some of my siblings that I barely knew when I was growing up. There were 5 of us and I was really only close to my one sister. Now we're all very close. | | | |

| | My twin and I are close but this last time we saw each other she was going through something I do not understand. She has MS and cannot go out and work in the dirt and do her gardening like she usually does. She may be mourning that. I do not know. I got my trip paid for by points on a credit card, but I went up there to work and I did. I also have gotten my trips paid for by my grandmother but once to be there for her when she was doing her kitchen and once when she had her teeth pulled and needed someone to stay with her. My twin thinks I went up there for fun and joys. It was for protection of Granny. Oh well it is her problem I guess I do not have the patience to go along with her insecurities this time. Now we are back in our own homes we are fine. We have talked and shopped together on the internet like before. All is forgotten. | | | |

| | She is my twin and she we do have fun, but this time she was very, very needey. I am sorry she was so insecure and selfish this time. She has already been to Granny's home and taken a lot of things but now she things she does not think she was not getting enough. She told me that she felt she got what she wanted. Then she would pout when she did not get what she want again. She went there for a vacation and I went up there to work. I wanted to get more work done but she would not let me. I feel bad for that. I am having fun with my nephew thou. | | | |
