Wow

Last night I got a message from one of my oldest friends to call her. I had switched phone so I left her messages all over the place telling her to send me her number. Then I remembered I still had it in my old phone. So finally around 9:45 I called her and found out some crazy news.

Her oldest son's girlfriend is pregnant. I think everyone is still in shock. He is 16. The kids told my friend a week ago and I guess they all loaded up and told the girl's mom last night.

I'm not sure what's going to happen. She kept telling me over and over again that it was fine and everything would be ok. I wonder who she was trying to convince.

She married a man when she was 15 and had her kids really young at 16 and 18. So now she is 34 and going to be a grandmother. I'm sure she isn't handling it well. But I know her. She will power through this and be stronger on the other side. She will also do what she has to do to make sure the kids stay in school too. I really wish I was closer to her again.

I keep thinking I need to just pack up and move back to Tennessee. I miss everybody there. My dad is gone so I think it would be bittersweet living there again but all my friends are there. I could participate in my church again. LeiLei wouldn't have as good of a school system as here but she would have more friends to play with more often. I don't know what the job situation is out there anymore.

I just don't have the answers right now. Maybe one day I will but who knows. Well I need to clear a space in our room for the cable guy this afternoon. Finally 4 people won't have to fight over 3 tvs. Since apparently my stepdad gets 2 of the 3 tvs. Long story and I am not going to bitch right now.

More later when I feel like expressing myself more.
