Family. . .grrrr

Ok, so I mentioned yesterday that my aunt and my nephew are both in the hospital. Well, I tried to call my aunt the other night only to have a patient get confused and tell me that "Mary" went home. She hadn't heard of a Gladys. I decided to call home for info but no one called me back (surprise). So, tonight I decided to try the nurse's station and they told me she'd been moved. They transferred me up to that station (rehab) but no one answered the phone. I called the farm but no one answered (again, surprise). So, I called Jami's cell since she was supposed to hang out with them this weekend. John is somewhere but the rest were with Jami. Seems Daniel is also still in the hospital (which I knew from reading Cindy's blog update) and has had surgery (which was not on her blog). We got cut off before I could find out more details than that. Needless to say, I am just a wee bit miffed about the situation right now. I don't even know if Daniel is still in the same room or I'd call there. Sheesh

Ok, in the grand scheme of things I understand not being told immediately when things happened. That is completely understandable. But you would think that someone would have the decency to call and give me a quick update. After all, they apparently have time to go rumlaufen tonight. This is probably a much needed break but it only takes a minute to call or have one of the girls drop me a quick email. And yet, if I didn't call or anything, I'd be uncaring blah blah. If the situation was reversed and I didn't keep peeps updated, I don't even want to contemplate the flak I'd get. I just can't win in this family, I swear.

So, I called Jami's cell and left a message that I am just a wee bit angry over it and that she could call back and maybe I would answer and maybe I won't. Ok, that last part is a little childish but hey, at least it was honest at the moment. I ranted to Mike and he thought that I was taking it out on him but I was only really venting. But since I was making a "scary face" I stopped and am writing this.

There is a reason why this irks me a lot right now and that will be clear in tomorrow's post. I want it to have a unique posting. But I needed to vent this now.
