Update and a question
Posted by ivy | Under Ivy Unleashed Saturday May 5, 2007Update on teh situation posted before…. I”m staying out of it.. I can not handle the crap.. Those people are going to dish out.. I feel sorry for the kids becuase I know this is NOT going to be the end of it. What I think will happen: She’ll claim she is sober and going to stay that way. She will come “home” she will be drunk in less than a week blowing what little money they have on beer and driving around with her daughter in the car.. Then someone will have to report it to police.. Anyhow thats all a big if.. They’ll fight again when she runs off again and it will continue on. My take on teh situation. This isnt the first time and it wont be the last.. I will NOT get involved in their dysfunction. i’ve got enough dysfunction in my own family. I dont need more.. The husband called me monday.. He had the lil boy.. (because the wife’s sister decided she didnt want him and was going to call the state to come get him..) he asked me if i could watch him on tuesday and wed after school. I told him.. I’m sorry but I can’t. He was really nicea bout it and said he understood.. However the boys mom would have been rude and acted like I was doign something wrong by saying no..
Now my question!!!
If you could go back in your life and relive just 2 minutes of it.. What part would you go back to and would you do anything differently? Remember.. those 2 minutes.. Can change your entire future..
I’ll write my answer later..
Ivy - first of all - I can’t believe her husband took her back after being gone all weekend! Who knows what she was doing after being gone all day/all night, etc.? Second of all - Good for you for trying to stay out of it! I can’t even IMAGINE living that way, or letting myself get so out of control that I would choose alcohol over stability in my life. But hey - I’ve never been addicted to it, so what do I know?
The two minutes I would relive: The time spent in front of the Justice of the Peace getting married (to my ex-husband). I knew it was a mistake, and was depressed about it immediately afterwards. (I’m sure I’ll think of something else instead as soon as I hit “post”)
Good question! hmm…I really try not to think about the past because I know I can’t change it, but if there was one thing I could do over again and change it, it would be the last time I saw my best friend alive. Her name was Betsy and she had cancer. Her goal was to graduate high school and she did. That was great. The last time I saw her alive I was feeling really grouchy and not much for seeing people. I was at the store and walking up and down aisles just cuz I was bored and I saw her at the end of one of the aisles and instead of going to say hi, I turned around and walked the other way. I’m selfish.
I’ve been racking my brains, yet I can’t pinpoint a specific 2 min. I can’t wait to hear yours though.
