We had to do finances last night which I hate doing anyways, but we do it once a month to see where we are with our goals. We just went with some important refinancing and there is a huge discrepancy with what was paid off and a balance owed. And looking at dates and timing of the check issued to being cashed there is no way it should even be close to that amount even if we missed by having paid that bill before the check went in.


I have no idea what exactly triggered it but wow did I explode. Not at him but at the frustrations of the crap sometimes financial institutes try to pull. So somewhere someone is making some good interest off of an huge over payment. I know we will get reimbursed eventually but that's alot of money to float around when you got bills to get paid.

So being the usual control freak self I sat and hashed it down for over 6 hours to re-establish goals. So at this point we going to hit two bills HARD to pay 2 major things off in 6-8 months.

I know why I was angry. It's because we had a goal to be out of here at end year and we will now be off a few months. I hate it here with a passion. My bro wants to get out of here too because the neighborhood is starting to attract a bit rougher crowd because houses have dropped so much in prices.

I have to testify to the fact my bro uses that military humor, and somehow between my melt down and everything it got through without me taking it personally. I don't know how he does it but he doesn't take it personal nor does he feed in to it but he also is able to figure out how to tell me how ridiculous I'm sounding....Well done bro, well done. I seen him in a rage state too but he get's really quiet and focused. Like a laser ready to burn the hole into anything that is in front of him. I don't know what is more scarier his pin point rage or my drama queen melt downs sometimes....lol.

I am so very fortunate to have him on my side and as my brother. I learn so much from him on how to be a better person.
 
Brothers are wonderful creatures most of the time and I love all 4 of mine dearly. One of them passed away 25 years ago at age 25 and I still miss him and remember him fondly. Another brother came to my rescue on New Year's day when I wanted to end it all, he sat with me and just talked. He didn't judge but he did say there was no way he would let me do it.

Three cheers to brothers!!!!!
 
Wow. My brothers were never that close, I think my family was very emotionally distant; it seems odd to hug one another outside of funerals and such. I see my brothers when I travel home or on Facebook, they never travel to see me, don't call and rarely email to see how I'm doing.

I'd love to have a brother I could really talk to, consider yourself lucky. :)
 
My brother is a family of choice. We both believed that people can make their own families if the one's they had sucked. Or are gone or never had one.
