f/u my sister's an idiot
So she ended up coming and my grandparents picked her up at the train- no, they weren't overly excited about it.
Fast Forward to Sunday. She was supposed to go to a tree planting in memory of her friend's brother who died last year. It was at 1:00. The plan was for her to go home with my dad and her friend pick her up. Well, 12:00 at my house she says she's going to stay (meaning I can take her to the tree thing), but she's going to exercise for a while and then get a shower.
"Um, K... isn't the thing at 1:00? I'd think we'd have to leave here by 12:40 at the latest."
"Oh, I'll just go a little late."
I then explained to her that you can't roll in late to a FUNERAL type thing. So she goes and gets dressed. By the time she gets there it is 1:30 and obviously the people are back in the woods planting the tree. So she expected me to sit in the car with her until they came out. Mind you I expected to be home by 1:00 when I offered to take her....because that is the ONE time of day that both girls sleep at the same time. I usually get about 45 minutes. But no. I got home at 2:20.
So while it was nice that she came home, I just can't wrap my mind around how she rationalizes things. Who plans to go late to a MEMORIAL SERIVCE!!!???

She's 24. But the best part is, she's SUPER smart. She got a 4.0 at Catholic University. She works at a huge international law firm in DC and her job involves planning and running events. Um...she can plan stuff but she can't get to a funeral on time?
Another good one- she asked to use my car to go get coffee on Sunday morning. She doesn't have the best driving record so I always am hesitant, but I said yes. Wawa is a mile from my house. 45 minutes later, after her not answering my 5 texts or 3 phone calls, she waltzes in. She took my car to the gas station and vacuumed it- which is nice- but she was annoyed that I was not thrilled at her taking my car for 45 minutes when she should have been gone 5.
