will the drama ever end?!
will the drama in my extended family ever end?! i highly doubt it! this is so not the week that i can handle extra drama, but guess what? i got it by the boat loads! today started out ok, the baby slept until almost 8am, and then laid in bed with me and we watched jungle book, i am always up for a disney flick. then i got up and started cleaning, mostly half-assed, as i was so not motivated to clean. the baby was a lot of fun and it was a nice morning playing with her and she was in a great mood. i got the call from shannon, she was sick with the flu, and the kids were all over there, she actually didn't care because they were entertaining her kids, but i felt badly about it. my mother-in-law called asking if she could have the kids since she is leaving in two weeks for three whole months, so i started packing and getting meds and shoes and jackets and all of that ready, gave kennedy a bath, and left the house, i negected to get even half of my make-up on, which i haven't done for probably 20 years! by the time i realized it i was driving on the freeway. oh well. i picked up my kids, got them dressed, hair done and teeth brushed while trying to be quiet because shannon was asleep, left and headed to mcdonalds to meet my mother-in-law. on the drive there she called me and said that kennedy's mother's roommate had called her, told her that she had kicked kari out of the apartment, and asking for my mother-in-law to come get her stuff. apparently kennedy's mom has been stealing money from everyone, she had her mom mail her half of the rent to my house on the first and then her roommate gave her the other half and she didn't pay the rent, so they are getting evicted, on top of that, she had "borrowed" over five hundred dollars this month from the roommate for stuff for kennedy, like medicine and diapers, like she ever pays for anything!!! so, my mother-in-law is ready to grab kennedy and head for another country. i run some errands, get home and have to talk to dave's sister, who is now coming this week to visit, and who by the way my mother-in-law is trying to dissaude from coming, so...i talk to her and tell her that this week is super busy with me, since i am having 20 people over thursday night for dinner, and then friday the kids have an easter egg hunt at my mom's for sunday school and then saturday is a couples baby shower, and then easter sunday, but she is still coming which means i will be entertaining her a good portion of time i am sure. then my mother-in-law calls back and says that kennedy's mom moved in with some guy she met friday at the medi-cal office, that was four days ago, she has dropped out of school with 5 days remaining, and i think she lost one of her jobs. she won't return my phone calls, and then angie says she wants to follow kari around to see where she is living in case she needs to go kidnap kennedy. this is so stressful i can't even express it in words! i feel like i am bending over backwards trying to make dave happy again, so yesterday it was the gym and today i let him go to climbing gym for three hours, while i sat home alone, my mother-in-law calls dave and sends him to see if kari is at work and wants him to follow her, he does see that she is at work but chooses not to tail her the rest of the night. i am so exhausted from not sleeping but now i have all this stupid drama to deal with. then i find out that dave has court on good friday even though it is supposed to be his day off, he will probably be in court all day. i am not thrilled. i feel so overwhelmed, i feel so alone, and yet i am so busy and trying to get things done around my house. the memories are relentless, the sleep non-exsistant, and i feel like dave is the opposite of supportive, he just wants to do what he wants, tomorrow i will discuss things with the therapist, i know what he will say and i don't know if i can handle hearing it. i don't know what my plans are minute to minute so i have no idea if i will make it to prayer tomorrow night. i want to, but prayer just sounds like torture at this point, trying to sit through it may push me over the edge right now. i will just have to see what tomorrow brings.

Hope you can make it. Sounds like you could use some love and support. And popcorn (I bought more). Love you.
