Can I vent a little? I'm a bit irritated with my sister right now, and I need a place to get it all out.
This has been a trying year for my whole extended family--my brother in law had colon cancer and had to have surgery, and my dad had a heart attack and is still undergoing treatment. As if both of those things weren't bad enough one of my dogs has become diabetic and has to get shots twice a day! So you can see that I really need a vacation!
Here is where the vent comes in--I have mentioned to my sister that I think it would be great if we could get away (I vacation with her family fairly often) and named some places we could go. I mentioned some hotels, and she told me she was looking at rentals. Great! Well apparently she meant she was looking at rentals just for HER family.
I found out a couple of days ago that she has booked a vacation to one of the places I brought up, but I was not invited. 
I'm feeling hurt and angry. She has let me prattle on about how nice it would be to get away, and how fun it would be to take some time away. And you know what else? She has never mentioned to me she has a vacation booked!
One of my nieces told me a few days ago when we were out to lunch together. I could understand if she wants some time with her husband and kids, but the way she went about it really upsets me. She is my only sibling and we are very close, and this feels like a smack in the face. Fine you want to get away with your immediate family, so you pick a place you know I want to go, and then don't invite me and don't tell me you are going. But you know I'm going to find out somehow. Ugh.
