Uncertainty
I feel alright today. Except the fact that my uterus hurts horribly. I hate this time of the month. At least it didn't start yesterday while I was away.
So my dad called this evening and informed me of some family problems. My dad let me know that he could use some help around the house for either a few days or maybe a week. He said he wants me to think on this.
To summarize, my mom was put on new medication a while ago. She took a complete 180 and it stopped working for her, putting her in a horrible depression. She's worse than she's been in a long time. She just sits by the window and stares out it for hours. She managed to get an emergency appointment and have her prescription changed back to Paxil, in hopes that it will work for her again. My dad is working long hours, and doesn't get home until 6 or 7pm. Sierra's grades are faltering. She's failing all but two of her classes. She can get a B average very easily, but she's either distracted or troubled by things right now so she is not focusing on school work well enough.
Basically, I need to come in and be mom for awhile. My mom is going away tomorrow, (Saturday) to stay with her parents in Florida. Hopefully this will make her feel better and get her out of this awful funk. I know I need to go, but I'm unsure. I'm still thinking about it because I don't know if I'll do well or not being alone in that big house for many hours of the day, (I'm thinking it would be 8 hours alone until Sierra comes back from school). Plus, my period is usually a bitch for the first half of the week it runs its course, making me a pain to deal with. Also, I won't have Gerald around. And what do I do for money if I need it? Especially for gas? I'm kind of panicking. Basically, I know they need me there right now, but I'm scared to death. On a super good plus side, I get to spend many days and hours with kitties that I have missed. :3
For some good news, my dad got a promotion again! He's gone from being their main supervising foreman to now being their productions manager. He gets to work in a office. He also gets commissions for every sale they make, (since they work on huge motors for paper mills and such, the pay should be pretty nice). He also gets to wear nice clothes. The only problem is that he needs nice pants to wear. He's a blue jeans man, so this will be different.
Gerald also got me Star Catcher to make up for my culture shock. He went out late to Wal-Mart to get some new Starscream that's out, and decided to check out the MLP section. That made me feel much better. She's made in such a fun mold! Look at her prance! *sighs happily* Ponies! X3
Also, Ger's mom is planning on making me a traditional Thanksgiving dinner soon. She's so nice. O_O She's like an angel!
