Well, she is off to work overtime tonight and I am not. I just finished washing dishes and it's late. We had homemade chicken soup for dinner, yum. The brat is playing Minecraft on the sofa as I type. The older one is somewhere on the road returning with her son and ex boyfriend here??? Well I played my acoustic set today for the second time. Felt a little less rusty. The new drum pedal is a little mushy compared to the Yamaha I had been using. Will adapt to it eventually since it's a double vs. single.
Two weeks from our romantic weekend away. I am excited to go on this little trip for the simple chance to get away from the chaos of the house. We are hoping K. gets a job soon so she can move out and give us our space and quiet back. It's been great getting to know her and G. but very stressful sometimes.
I heard that her ex boyfriends cousin committed suicide this week. She had been arrested for her 3rd DWI at the age of 22. It's hard to believe she would think her life would be over after just a little jail time. There is probably some stuff I don't know about but it's such a tragedy that she couldn't get the help she needed. Alcohol, cunning, baffling, powerful, claims another victim. It's the silent epidemic in the world. Speaking of which.
WTF! My daughter was arrested two weeks ago for minor consumption at age 16. She snuck out from a friends house on a sleep over at 4 am to get arrested. At least she didn't run and was honest with the cops. I am not a hypocrite and didn't get all self righteous on her. I was honest and told her I should have been arrested when I was her age. I told her I can't control her decisions on experimenting with alcohol or drugs. It's up her to make good decisions. Each one impacts the rest of her life. She wants to go to college. I told her they look at things like criminal records for admittance. I was really pissed about her lying and sneaking out to hang with guys over 18. At least she is not dating the kid going to the Marines any more. That's a heartbreak I wouldn't wish on anyone.
Well enough for now. Oh, E. still the drama queen as usual. My new friend C. is also has the same deal as E.
Peace
