Tweet to my sis

Hello all, and welcome back! I apologize for being out of commission the past week, but I really have not been feeling top notch and it's difficult to type on a computer when my head is screaming at me to lay back down and my lungs feels like I have a thick layer of hardening cement in there. Being sick really sucks.

Today is day four of my 30 Tweets to 30 Peeps Challenge (click here if you have no idea what I'm talking about) and the person I'm addressing today is my sibling. I only have one sibling, my sister Bridget, and I love her with all of my heart. I remember the day she was born and picking out a stuffed animal for her at Toys R Us with my dad. I decided on a big tiger stuffed animal "To be her protector," I told my dad. I was four years old at the time.

@LilSis2Cool4Twitter: I miss you, sis! You're the best best friend I could ever ask for. You rule, and I hope I've been a mostly positive role model for you. xox

Sisters!

The best thing about having a sister who is close to you in age-- but not so close that it's annoying and there's tons of rivalry-- is having a friend who is always there. When we were growing up, we always had each other to play with and we could always count on each other for entertainment. Whether it was riding our bikes around the block, racing home from school to sing and dance along with our CATS video, or trying to keep each other sane during "No TV" week-- "You have a call from Ralph, on the big white phone..." "Water. Water. Water. Water. Water. Cooooooke."

I can't recall how many fights we've had over the years, but we always make up and forgive each other. We are sisters! It's silly, but watching an episode of Real Housewives of New Jersey really made me miss my sister. Danielle's youngest daughter performed a song that she wrote herself for her sister's Sweet 16 party. It made me a little sad listening to it "I was always there for you, and you are always there for me, you're more than a friend you're part of my familyyyyyyyyy..." It's corny, but it's endearing.

Ah, sisters. There are six of us siblings in our family (four girls, two boys) and we all kinda paired off by age proximity.

I don't know that I would've been a good sister growing up, but I sure wish I had a sister now!

Love Jillian's song - she's so cute! RHONJ is one of my not-so-guilty pleasures.

My sister and I are still working on the "loving each other all the time" aspect of being siblings. :) It'll come, fingers crossed!
