Must vent now

So I usually have to wake up at 5:30 a.m. on Wednesday and Friday's to take my sister to work. I'm usually fine with this because I can blast music and it's fun. Well this morning I wake up and go to the car to warm it up so my sister won't be freezing when she gets in. There was no problem starting the car and her getting in.

When I tried to reverse my wheel wouldn't turn. I had to use all of my body strength to turn the wheel. So I figure it's just my power steering fluid being low. So I get her to work and head over to my boyfriend's house.

We put power steering fluid in and wait. An hour later it is all on the ground. So obviously I have a pretty fucking huge leak in my car. So I tell my family I'm taking my car into the shop so it can get fixed and they don't have to pay for it. You'd think they'd be happy right?

Yeah no.

My oldest sister has work at 8, my middle sister has orientation for student teaching, I have school at twelve-thirty for my last music test. So this is the worst possible time for us to have one car.

Well you'd think my sister could ask one of her friends for a ride, yeah you'd be wrong. You'd think my Dad would drop them off and my boyfriend would be able to drop me off and pick me up from school. Yeah you'd be right on my boyfriend doing that but my Dad? Yeah no, he doesn't feel like it. And it's making me rage on a very horrible level because I've been trying to fix my car all day long without taking it to the shop and no dice. It's been thirty-seven degrees all day and I've been out there plus it's been raining. So not only am I freezing and soaked but now my family is mad at me because I don't want to drive our other car that is screwed up and our third car is a stick which I can't drive.

So I feel like I'm taking crazy pills here because my Dad can't do something so simple for them but I'm supposed to stop everything. My sister has orientation, I can understand her needing to go. My oldest sister has to work, also understandable.

I have to redo my mosaic and study for my listening test for music tomorrow PLUS study for three exams. I do not have time for this Mickey Mouse bullshit that they are trying to hand me!

And now I'm taking my frustrations out in the sequel to The Company since I feel that is how my anger should best be mediated so I don't snap at my family.

personal: family issues, personal: stress
