This while week has been kind of crazy: Ben and the drugs, rude phone calls, reconnecting with an old friend, and a beach day. That's a bit out of order but the point is still there. Crazy week. I guess I'll start from the beginning.
Monday:
It was my mom's birthday so I didn't do much. It was the day after Ben was kicked out so I thought it would be rather miserable, but it was quite pleasant. My parents left to go grocery shopping. I watched TV all day like what I perceive to be the average teenager. I found out that Ben can come take his kid anytime he wants because he legally has custody: he hasn't come so far.
I saw a post on Facebook that made me so curious that I had to reach out. It said that my former best friend, Caity, was engaged to her boyfriend. I messaged her to see weather or not the post was real or just a new title to symbolize the next stage of their relationship: it was legit. From that one question sprouted a whole conversation that lasted for hours.
Tuesday:
It was another beach day with Kayla and Brittany. On the way to pick Brittany up, I got a message from Caity inviting me over to her house on Wednesday; I accepted it. We were at the beach for a long time. I was almost hit in the head by a like because a child was handling a fishing net without proper parental supervision. I saw Caity's aunt Mandy there with her kids and a couple extras. I sat with her for a while and talked about the engagement between Caity and Leif. It got interesting but I cannot reveal the specifics.
Wednesday:
I went over to Caity's. We watched some TV, talked a lot, and played some badminton. The game was really intense considering I haven't played since middle school and I'm very out of shape. I'm glad that I started talking to her again. I'm not sure how our relationship will end up, but I'm hoping it goes well.
That night I learned that Ben has texted my mom. He claimed to have hit rock bottom and wanted to come back and have things the way that they were before. If he hit rock bottom, isn't that an admission of guilt for doing drugs? Whatever he intended by that, his text was not replied to.
Thursday/today:
Today was more relaxed. I waited for the mail until three, it didn't come, and then I went to the bank. I came home and the mail still hadn't come. It eventually arrived around 3:40 which is ridiculous. The checks that I had been waiting for came. It's safe to say that I was pretty angry with the mail system.
Later, I found out that Ben had texted and called my mom. He thinks his kids are being taken away for him even though he hasn't asked for his kid. I also learned that he was rumored to have been staying with a convicted sex felon. He was caught shooting up, heroin is his drug of choice, and wasn't kicked out for that. He was caught trying to steal a safe with his girlfriend/fiance. They're troublemakers. They're worse than children!
Future:
The 4th of July is coming up and I'm not sure how I feel about it. In the past it's been one of the more awkward holidays. I'm not sure why, but it just is. I'm excited to see some of them though, I could certainly do without the kids my mom is is bringing. As if I want to see them in general, let alone on holidays. I see them every weekend and do my best to make plans so I don't have to because all they do is cry and smell.
I hope it's a good one. Just saying!
