Catch up - catch me...

It's been a while since I posted. I apologize for that; but my life has been nothing less than chaotic.

As of yesterday my parents are officially split. My mom had her condo settlement and afterwards, she and my Dad went out to lunch to celebrate....I know, I know, WTH? At the gym this morning she informs me that he was sooooo nice yesterday. So, maybe absence is making his heart grow fonder already, even though she is still living in the old house until the furniture delivery.

Sunday we went to the little catholic church down the street from us. Can you say, "Little House on the Prairie?" I swear I was claustrophic in it. I sat there, holding back tears, because this is the last thing I want to do, but with my priest, and family friend leaving our current parish, there really is NO reason to keep driving 30 mins to go to church, when there is one literally 2 mins from my house...right? I found myself searching on-line today for other churches in the area, bigger churches. Found about 3, but with Chris going to public school next year I have to enroll him in CCD classes and I need to get him registered yesterday -so I'm not sure I have the luxury of checking them all out.

This weekend I took a semi-emergency visit out to NYC. My girlfriend was having some issues and was desperate to talk with me. Turns out her marriage is in trouble...well, not in trouble, dead is more like it. My heart just breaks for them and her kids (which happen to be my godkids). Here's another marriage that bites the dust :(

I emailed Jeanie. You know, the woman who emailed me about Nick being a bad influence on her perfect and innocent son. She never answered me. So, now the question is, do I try again, or let the friendship die? I will always be grateful for everything she did for me with Cindy and I will always love her for that, but, as usual, I seem to be the BAD person here when I didn't really do anything wrong, other than not respond to HER email immediately, because I wanted to cool off. I don't get it and I dont' know what to do.

My mother in law called last night...that's NEVER a good thing. The only time she calls is when something is wrong, or if she needs something. Turns out my father in law is not doing well. He lost use of both of his his for a few days and the drs don't believe it was a stroke. He was tested and the only thing they came up with was he has pnueumonia. Pneumonia....a week before we are supposed to go on vacation.
Can anything else go wrong?

WAIT!!!! Don't answer that.....
