Sunday

About the previous entry – she admitted it when I called her out on it.  I’m guessing he really did give her a hard time about it in the beginning, but eventually he realized he would have to pay up or go to jail, so he pays – and she just conveniently didn’t mention it to any of us.

The problem is, it makes me wonder about all the other stuff she’s told us over the years.  It certainly paints her in a less sympathetic light, and while I know my brother is no saint, I’ve been wondering for the last four years how he could just completely walk away from his obligations to his kids – and now I know he didn’t, not completely.  It pains me that I trusted her and she took advantage of that trust.  

It is what it is.  I talked to my (other) brother yesterday, he’s going to take a few days to process the information (and no doubt verify it for himself, which will make me feel better too) and then we’ll decide how much and when to tell Mom.  I truly have no idea how she’s going to take it.  

Enough about that.  Today is Sunday, and tomorrow I am starting the Couch-to-5K program so I can do this in the spring.  It looks like fun!
