cholihs - Stop the world and let me off!

Finally, I'm home and ready to settle into a normal life again. Whatever that is. All I really know is that it's one in which I sleep in my own bed at night. That's really the only sure thing right now, and it's no where near a sure thing at all!

The trip to Washington DC overall was a success. Everyone had fun, we saw a lot of things, I learned a lot at my conference, the hotel was awesome, the food was a little odd, the flights were good, all that. We got back at 3:30 in the morning Wednesday/Thursday. On Thursday I had to head out to Hot Springs for our golf tournament. Terry was going to go with me, but that didn't end up working out. He is evidently facing eviction from his apartment - they've changed owners and he is no longer able to stay there at reduced rate in exchange for being the maintenance person. Now, since he hasn't worked since October, he's finally run out of money and can't pay rent. So he had to stay back to deal with that. Mom and Leah went with me. Leah was much better than I thought she'd be - I thought she'd be terribly clingy but it wasn't too bad.

We finally got home at around 9 last night. Terry came over and it was really nice to be with him again. I'd missed him since it had been so long since we'd seen each other. Today I just kind of hung out. Then this afternoon, Frank came up and he and I went to Target and out to eat. The bad part of the evening was that Travis got pissed that I got a sitter for Leah instead of having him watch her, so he went to my house andd took her, even though I never gave him permission for that. He's getting crazier I think. He insisted that the only way I could pick her up was if Frank was with me. When I finally got all of that straightened out and got Leah home safely, he called and once again begged me to give us another chance. I feel so bad for him, but that is being overridden by my complete frustration with his inability to deal with this situation, or even to try.

Anyway, now I need to catch up on homework. I talked to my advisors, and turns out postponing a class is not an option. So I have to work really hard now to get my grades up. I suspect my 3.75 GPA will be gone by the end of this session. Darn it.

In any case, I was also talking to another friend of mine tonight, and her life is about as crazy as mine. So at least I don't feel quite so crazy. Ok, I do feel just as crazy. I just feel like I'm not the only one!!
