My sister has screwed me over now, too

Because she said it would be such a freaking great idea, I paid $75 to host a pool party for her two sons' to be their birthday gift from me. (No refunds)

They acted very unenthused about the whole thing, but all three of them assured me they were going to invite people.

My sister just called me (45 minutes before the start of the party) to tell me, so sorry, they could each only get one person to commit to coming to their party. Oh but they've been calling and inviting people for the last two weeks!!!

I know my sister, and I know she never invites anybody to a birthday party until the day before, and then whines that nobody shows up.

SHE IS LYING TO ME. I can tell when she's lying because she does it all the time, and she has no conscience about lying to anyone for the most minor reason, if it suits her purposes.

She wanted me to call and lie about a need to cancel the party. Lie and say that someone was sick. I told her I wasn't going to lie about that and I hung up on her.

Now she's trying to make it sound like this is somehow my fault, and I better not be calling her back to get all up in her face about it, because it's not her fault either. Bullshit. It was her only job to get them to invite people. All the kids have "different reasons" they can't come.

It's a church night. They're on vacation. Wow, what a variety of reasons.

They hadn't even bothered to call any of their hillbilly brood of cousins. Yeah, they really tried. With their usual effort.

I wish I could say that I'm sitting here being quietly angry over this, but I'm not handling it very well. I'm crying so hard that I'm shaking and having a hard time breathing. I'm only writing here in an attempt to calm down and forget about the knives in the kitchen. I'd hate for anyone to know how much of a wreck the last two days have made me, but there's only one person who reads this blog, and I know she already knows what a basket case I really am.
