Feeling a Bit Bogged Down

My life for the most part is pretty much the same it was last week minus Frankie leaving. He called to let me know he made it to Kuwait. He should call in a couple weeks to check in. That sounds bad...he doesn't have to check in. He knows I get a little worried if I don't hear from him in a while. I should probably go see his mom sometime soon. I told her I would and I'd feel bad if I didn't. Jenn and I both made a deal that we would go talk to her and all that. We haven't seen her in probably 3 years or so and it would be better and easier if we went together. Since her stroke and all that she's not like she used to be ie. she doesn't hate us or think we are bad influences on Frankie. Speaking of Jenn, I hung out with her and Mike yesterday. We've decided to make it a sort of tradition to watch the football game on Sunday. We won again! Not that it was an easy win but we won nonetheless. Mike was acting a bit off but that was because of his medication. After that we got some coffee and then I went home. Maggie came by later on...she and Longo are getting married today. I don't think it's the best move but like I've said before it's her decision and she knows how I feel about it. I don't think she's 100% sure it's the best idea either but she said that she's got 7 months to decide. Anytime within the next 7 months she can have it annulled.

I talked to Keith on Friday. I miss him. It's been so long since we've talked. I mean we've talked on the phone a bit here and there but I haven't seen him in a long time...at least it feels that way. Now that I know how to get to his house I'll have to stop by more often. Funny thing is that it's about 5 minutes from where he used to live it's just a little trickier getting there.

Mom went to the dr on Saturday and they referred her to an orthopedic specialist for whatever is wrong with her. I think they think it's her back..honestly I couldn't tell you what the deal is. I think most of it is her drinking. She needs to cut back and go back to meetings but what I say really doesn't matter. They're just going to keep letting her drink on top of everything else. Something needs to happen though...don't know what but something. My way of dealing with this is somewhat looking over it. I acknowledge is but I don't at the same time. I just distance myself from it. I shouldn't because avoiding problems never solve them but I don't know what I'm supposed to do. I'll figure it out eventually...well that's my general goal.

I'm still playing catch up a bit with math. I think if I had had more time to do my homework and study, I would have done better on the test. On a brighter note I still have an A in the class. I got a 73 on the quiz...not bad but not good either. I'm hoping to get most of it done this evening and tomorrow. I have another test I need to prepare for...Science. I like it though. Hopefully I'll get it all done and over with by the end of the week with good results.
