Ok well got up this morning did my prayers, read my books, sat with the HP and thru in my "Last" Text message to Abrother that read "If you did not contact Land Owner about water, call me ASAP... The Bill is Only going to go UP! Love ya", that was at 7am this morning... So I heard nothing ALL DAY...
So I have been holding alot of this back from my husband because well... He thinks my brother is worthless enough without the details and I don't need the constand reminder or him as pissed as me... But me & my HP thought it better that I spill it... All of it... So I did... Told him "Every thing I already told all of you"...lol... And we desided to take a differant approach...
So I came home and called the water company, and told them my deal with the water suppose to be shut off on X-mas Eve because of busted pipes, and I didn't understand how it could keep climbing, and all of it, about me being in charge till June and no one in the house yet... Blah. Blah, Blah....
Welp the lady told me she would shut it off tomorrow morning, AND that they have a "1 Time" LEAK POLICY, "YEAH" that means that ONE TIME you can claim a leak on your line and they will cut the bill all most in half, and credit you that amount...SOOO the $600 + water bill is getting trimmed... I just needed the faith and maybe a Push from the HP & the Hubbie... I guess that is why we still keep it together... Just need a little faith...
SOOOO long/Short of it... I have not been an "Enabler" to my Abrother, but I also did not allow his problems to be mine... I took care of what would protect me and only me... He will have to pay to have the water turned back on, so that again is his problem, I gave him the chance to take care of it himself, now he has no choice. If he choose to have water. And if the electric falls behind i will have that shut off as well... :)
I am just so HAPPY I could do cart wheels... Don't think it would be very pretty, but damn I would try ;)
Things are looking up... And I want to thank each and everyone of you for your input... I was telling my husband that I think some of you have become my second skin...lol..I count on ya's more...lol..This program has really opened up my eyes to a whole new way of thinking about things, and I know it is all because of Al-anon.. ;)
One Day at A Time Let Go & Let God Progress Not Profection Leading instead of Lending Easy Does it Livin in the Now Keeping it Simple Keep coming back It Works if you work it Go with the Flow
All of these WONDERFUL reminders keep me on track in my program, and in charge of my life... What a blessing to have in my life... Who knew life could be so simple once you line up your stars...Sure there are things to dodge, and over come, and any other time I would have let me stubborness, go staight to my Abrothers house, jerk a hold of him AGAIN, and scream my hurt and shed my tears for what??? Alanon is slowing teaching me how to "Get a Grip"...
Its funny... I can't think of anything else to say about this but I feel like I should... I think I am just so dang happy that I rose to it instead of fighting it that I am just over joyed and wanted to share... The weights are off my shoulders so thanks again to all for your thoughts and your prayers... I am most grateful to you all....
