Really shitty day... :(
This is actually an important post for me...maybe this journal can actually come in handy sometimes. So please keep reading...
Ok, first thing this morning I went to the dentist and had a crown put on and had one of my chipped teeth fixed. No cavities for the last 2 years now though, so that's good. Then I went to work and dealt with a whole bunch of moody women co-workers (moody is putting it nicely). It got so bad that one of them yelled at me over something that I didn't even do, and I told them all to go home and come back when they were ready to actually work and not sit around like a bunch of lazy asses. Ya, I guess I was really mad to say something like that.
So, here's the interesting part...after work my Mom tells me that she's been talking to this "long lost man that she used to know" on the phone for the last few months, and she also says he's the guy she is meant to be with. I didn't even know of "a man" until today, and now this? WTF?!?!? Of course I want her to be happy, but oh yeah, this guy lives in California, and if it works out, her and Greg will be moving there. I'm getting way ahead of myself, but that's basically what she said. Which means that Jeremy would probably move too, which means either I leave my life here and follow them, or live out here by myself while my ENTIRE family lives in a different state. Suzy, I know you're doing the same thing, but I don't know if I can do it. I can't afford it out there anyway, all of the houses out there are three times the price they are here. So don't worry..I think I'll stay here either way.
Here's where it gets really interesting...this man went to school with my parents. My Mom knew of him all through grade school and then in high school, they went to the Sadie Hawkins dance. I guess he wanted to ask her out for a long time beforehand too. The date went well, but the VERY NEXT DAY, she met my Dad, and of course they ended up getting married a few years later. So this guy never got to ask her out again. Now a few months ago, my Aunt Linda went to a high school reunion, ran into this guy, and he told her that his one date with my Mom was the greatest date he ever had, and he's always thought of her as the one who got away, etc, etc. So then my Aunt told him what my Mom is up to now, and it turns out that he's also divorced (two teenage children) and he got my Mom's email address and they eventually started talking on the phone, and now he's coming out here to take her out to dinner in a few weeks (he'll be here on business). Now it gets even more interesting: he's been a friend of the family for like 30 years, he knows my Grandparents, aunts, and uncles on a first name basis, and still goes to church with my Grandparents. He lives in Whittier (my hometown) and went to St. Gregory school (my old school). She seems to be convinced that this guy is "the one"...she even said that even though she married my Dad, she never thought that they were "meant to be". So I'm happy for her, yet really freaked out at the same time. This is a lot of new information. She's even talking about asking my Dad to take Greg in so she won't have to take care of him all the time anymore because "he owes her". Not good...I think she's lost her mind.
And I played basketball tonight and this guy threw me the ball so hard that I didn't have time to react and it hit me right in the mouth. It really hurt, but the guy who threw it gets really worked up and starts firing the ball at people like it's a rocketship...he almost broke another guy's finger tonight too.
So I hope nothing interesting at all happens tomorrow, that would be good. I have to work 10 hours tomorrow, so I'd better get to bed.
Goodnight :(
