Halloween Weekend Party
Okay - so Saturday John had his Halloween Party. Not really sure what happened at this point, but somewhere along the road Shannon yelled at Sarah. At around 10:30 Saturday night Sam and I received a phone call from Rachel that Sarah was upset and threatening to hurt herself.
When I got on the phone with Sarah she was talking about how she was upset and felt so bad right now she wanted to go downstairs and find a knife to hurt herself and kill herself. My heart sank. I felt so far away and yet we are only about a mile down the road from them. I talked to Rachel, then John, then even Dave, but that was a waste of my time. John was drunk. He was mad and was saying he would take her to my place. Luckily friends stopped him from driving. At that point I was still on the phone with Rachel and she thanked the adults and said please come over and get us.
We did. I had to call Sam on his cell phone cause he was already in his car and on his way to get Sarah, but Rachel was afraid if Sam came alone that John would come out and cause a scene. She knew I would never let that happen. She's right.
Again, luckily enough when we got there John was no where to be found. He was inside drinking I'm sure. Sam and I took Rachel, Sarah and her friend Emily over to our house. Some woman said "Just take them - you don't want to talk to John, just take them and go" So I did. Her name was Tiffany by what the girls told me. I didn't even know her yet she addressed me by name. Which was fine by me.
The girls got over to our house and John called to see if they were there and if they were okay. I found out from Lori the next day that he yelled at Shannon after we left saying she's going to cause him to lose custody. Except the words weren't this kind. He swore using the "c" word and a bunch of other odded vulgarity into his statement. He had to call a few other people and apologize - according to Lori.
I wasn't about to tell her about how Dave tried to trivialize Sarah's emotions. He actually said "she's fine - everything's fine" WTF?? I said back to him" ITs not Dave - my daughter is upset - they both are and Sarah's threatening to kill herself" THAT's NOT FINE. Idiot. Anyway - I didn't tell Lori any of this. I just didn't feel it was worth it. She's so caught up in her own life right now and the 2nd life she's leading. All drama and stress she's brought on herself, but isnt' doing anything to correct or repair it. She keeps saying she is or will, but.... nothing.
I know how it is - hey I've been there myself, but you've got to be brave and take care of these things for better or worse she needs to put her plans into action. Ugh. She's just not as brave as she wants to be I guess.
Sam and I however, are doing great. We've manage to really work things out between us and begin to open up and discuss our problems.
Last night we enjoyed a nice peaceful drive into the mountains. We brought along a six-pack and sat watching the starts, drinking beers and listening to classic rock. It was really nice. And the drive put litle Sammy right to sleep!!
I'm still working on balancing the morning schedule along with my sleep deprivation. Along with my constant headaches and back aches. And now it seems I'm gaining weight back - ugh ugh ugh.
I am concerned that financially we have to cut back. Not that we can't make our bills, but that we may be spending too much unnecessarily. Daycare costs has really jacked up our monthly spending, so of course we aren't throwing money into savings any more. This concerns me. I'm sure it concerns Sam too, but he's better at not showing it.
Oh well - maybe there will be a promotion in the works yet this year for one of us. Fingers crossed, but not holding my breath.
