Winter is creeping into the Ohio Valley and it's bringing a depression With it. Heavier than my average, everyday depression.
There's an old joke that says in the Ohio Valley the season are Almost Summer, Summer, Almost Winter and Winter. We seem to have moved into almost winter. One day it was 102 degrees outside and beautiful; now it's staying in the 60's and either raining, drizzling or sprinkling all of the time.
It seems like everything is piling up this week. Between Samantha somehow managing to contract lice (at 2. She's such a show off) and then give it to me, dealing with a friend who is not only dating an abuser but possibly pregnant by him, dealing with another friend who admitted her relationship issues with her child's father are about 98% because of the 'past' he and I had, Patrick's biological grandmother passing away, our friends going MIA and not even being so considerate to say, "hey sorry we just disappeared for a couple weeks. We'll just get on Facebook and ignore your messages" and this nasty weather...I'm ready to pack up and head some place where no one knows my name.
Friend C is going to have a pregnancy test done today. I'm fairly certain she's pregnant and so is she. If she's not wanting him to be a part of her life for this, I'll fight tooth and nail to protect her but I know in the end I can't make her leave him. I just wish I could pretend he would be different but he won't. He's an ass to everyone, even his teenage daughter. He's not abusive toward his daughter, just an all around jerk.
My only consolations are that even with all of their problems I have some amazing friends, two beautiful daughters, a father to my child who goes above and beyond for both of my girls and a crazy family that loves me.
Now if I can just let that last paragraph overshadow all the rest!
