I was going to post another full couple of paragraphs about how bad things are, but I realized two things: one, you guys really don't want to or need to hear about my issues, half of which are self-inflicted anyway, and two, it's not like most of you (all 3 who probably look at this page on a semi-regular basis) would be able to help in any way. If you could I'd ask for money and a me-sized eggshell so I can pay my bills and then crawl in and not hatch till things were better with the world.
I haven't been keeping up with life outside my window, because the more news I read and the more lives I keep in contact with, the worse the overall situation seems. That scares me. I need a new news feed, something that only posts the feel-good stories like kittens being rescued from trees and who won the Kentucky Derby. Can anyone suggest one?

Can't get any worse...
(knock on wood)
middlesister* (7:21:47 PM) : Hey. You know that stupid little sister of ours?
middlesister*
middlesister (7:21:57 PM) : Yeah. That one. The cops just called.
middlesister (7:22:00 PM) : .....
middlesister (7:22:01 PM) : o.o
middlesister (7:22:40 PM) : Anyway, since you're not on I'll just let you know all that I've been informed of. Which is trespassing and maybe something about alcohol.
Me (7:25:54 PM) : ...isn't she still grounded?
middlesister (7:27:03 PM) : Yeah.
middlesister (7:27:09 PM) : She was grounded, and regrounded
Me (7:26:32 PM) : Is mom home?
Me (7:26:35 PM) : And is E home?
middlesister (7:27:16 PM) : uh huh
middlesister (7:27:18 PM) : and no
middlesister (7:27:27 PM) : she's at la estacion de policia
middlesister (7:27:38 PM) : correction
middlesister (7:27:44 PM) : the cops just pulled in with her in tow
...So begins the worst hour I've had all year, and it comes the day after my $300 glasses lose a screw and have to be brought into the optometrist tomorrow to see if they're covered by warranty, I get home to find that my credit card bill was due on Friday and my bank account is empty, after a week up north forgetting that I had bills to pay and unable to print the loan application that will now take another two days to print and get in the mail and 2 weeks to get money from, at least, and to top it all off, we just got a cancellation notice from our insurance company because we owe them $400 too.
Please tell me life gets easier after college. Tell me that 15-year-olds are capable of reasoning once in a while. Remind me why I bother caring when all it gets me is disappointment. I'm frustrated and angry and worried and I'm not even her mother; I had so little to do with raising her especially the last few years... but I still care. God forbid my children ever do something so stupid.
