Weekend from HELL

So this weekend, starting Friday night, has been the weekend from hell. After Rans left Friday night, we got a call from my cousin Donna. Evidently my cousin had wrecked and was at our house, but he wasn’t inside. So my sister and I looked outside and sure enough he was hiding behind our mailbox. Our mailbox is a brick mailbox so it’s big and bullky and since my cousin is a skinny minny he could hide behind it. So I asked him what was wrong and what did he need me to do for him since obviously he wrecked and needed help. He told me he wanted to go home but when he talked I knew something was wrong. I took him home and on the way home, a police rounded the curve just as I pulled out of their driveway. My mom called and told me that me and my sister could be considered an accessory because my cousin ran away from the scene to our house. I didn’t know that at the time. I knew he wrecked but I figured he was caught in a ditch like I did once in Rockmart. Nope, he literally wrecked. Donna wanted my mom up at the scene and when we got there I was shocked. On top of the car was a six pack and an opened can of beer. I was livid. The police wanted to talk to me but I wasn’t in trouble. They basically wanted proof he was driving since he kept saying he wasn’t even though everyone knew damn well he was. The house he wrecked in front of evidently had people outside and saw him run away. So in the end my cousin finally admitted to it and was carted off to jail only to be bailed out by his dad the next morning. Donna wanted her husband to leave him in there for a good week or two since this is like the third time he’s done something stupid like that. I believe he does need a little tough love to knock some sense into him.

That was only the BEGINNING of the weekend from hell. On Saturday was my sister’s senior prom. She was so excited and her dress looked amazing. She woke up that morning and went to go get her dress since the place that altered her dress had not hemmed it short enough for her. After getting her dress she went to get her hair fixed and then came back home. We kept asking her when she needed to be ready because some family members wanted to come see her all dolled up and ready to go. Her boyfriend didn’t even want to come pick her up, he told her that she needed to find a way to Berry College. She obviously couldn’t drive since she wouldn’t be able to do anything with her car so we took her. We were running twenty minutes late since we had to be there thirty minutes before we thought we had to be.

When we got to Berry, she kept calling him to see where he was so we could meet up with him, take their pictures, and then they would leave. He never replied. So she called him and his mother’s cell phone with no answer. In fact, his mom forwarded her calls to voice mail after the first two calls she made to her. His mother was supposed to be there so Beth was getting upset. We got to the waterwheel which was the meeting place and he was nowhere to be found. So after waiting a good fifteen minutes in the Tahoe, I told her to get out and let’s take some pictures while we were there. Thirty minutes later, he still had not called or replied to her texts. So my mom said that we would go to Swan Lake and take more pictures of Beth and maybe they were over there. Well while we were at Swan Lake, my cousin Donna texted him to see where he was since he didn’t know her number. He told her he was there for over an hour and then left. That’s a lie. We were only twenty minutes late!! So basically, Beth was stood up because he still would not answer her. It was horrible because during her pictures she was crying and I know she was trying to be strong but it’s really hard with something like that happens. One of her friends Devin showed up with her boyfriend and they offered to give Beth a ride. We also took a picture of Devin’s boyfriend and Beth and he sent it to Beth’s boyfriend. Lol.

So after the whole Berry fiasco my mom, Donna, Selena, and I headed home. Maybe an hour after we got home, my cell rang but it died before I could pick up. I figured it was Rans but then my mom’s home phone started ringing. It was Beth. Her now EX boyfriend showed up at Prom with another girl and flaunted her all in my sister’s face. My sister said she was trying not to cry but wanted us to come get her now. She was very upset and couldn’t believe that had happened. I swear to God he better be glad I’m too scared to go to jail or I would’ve shoved my foot up his ass. I just can’t believe someone would do that to someone else.

My sister did end up going out with some friends who didn’t go to prom and said she had a better time so I am glad about that. I didn’t want her prom night to be ruined and luckily she bounced back. I do know she’s utterly embarrassed and I don’t blame her. She’s worried about what all is going to happen on Monday morning. I hope it all goes smoothly.

Thankfully today was pretty eventless compared to Saturday. We had a family dinner with Donna and her husband, Roger. We do that quite often here lately. I think later this weekend we’re all going to have lasagna. Donna and my mom are around the same age and basically were raised like sisters and since they’ve gotten older they’ve grown even closer. I talked to her a lot about teaching since that’s what she does.

Well unfortunately I need to get off of here. I still feel like crap even though I’ve taken my medicine religiously. I hope it’s just the pollen overage making me sicker and the medicine is working correctly. I probably won’t be able to blog that much this week since I’m having to play catch up. So until next time, later lovelies!
