You can go away anytime now, Black Cloud

I've been reading people's PB's and realizing something, a lot of crappy things are happening to people!! I think negative things come and go for everyone but it's like it's all happening at once, to a lot of people I interact with.

Minus my pregnant little sister. My mom and her have become BFFs (vomit). The reason why this bothers me is simple, my little sister was a BAD kid. Stole thousands of dollars from my parents (transferring money from their bank accounts to hers), jail time twice, drunk driving accident, loads of tickets, sent to ER for trying to fight a cop (she broke her finger and needed an IV for being drunk and throwing punches at the cop). Anyway, you get my gist, she was a loose cannon. So tell me why, all the sudden, now that she's "back on the right path" she's being given the world. She's 23 and pregnant, her baby daddy doesn't amount to much either but, since he's "come a long way" too, my parents do everything for these two. EVERYTHING. And I guess since I never went to jail or had a stealing problem, I don't need anything. When I say everything, I mean they just bought those two a house. A HOUSE. Not only did they furnish the apartment they JUST moved into with super nice stuff (not to mention a $300 crib), they also get a new home. They helped pay for baby daddies new car, I guess his Cadillac Escalade wasn't good enough for him. I could go on and on on what they have been given. But the house, the house is my last straw.

What parents, with 3 kids, buy their youngest, while she's having a baby out of wedlock (okay, it's the year 2014, that happens), a HOME for her and their daughters fiance? I don't get it!!! And I'm the bad guy for calling out the bullshit. Everyone in their right minds will think it too but my mother is terrifying and no one will stand up to her. Anyway, it was a huge fight. I've never wanted to punch a pregnant person in the face before. She has no idea the value of the dollar yet talks to me as if she knows all just because her and my mom are BFF and she's going to be a mother herself.

On top of that, my mom brings up every time I'm around them that Danny will never propose to me. He's all talk and no action. So that wears on me, too. It'll happen when the time is right. Layoff. Was supposed to do dinner with all of them tonight but, I'm not going. I need my space. I can't handle the blatant favoritism. My big sister has the right idea, living across the country and only coming around 3-4 times a year. Doesn't have to see it happen right in front of her face.

So there's that, Danny's band new Cadillac got keyed where he parks Downtown Dallas for work... And more and more small things that are just Goddamned annoying. We're going to San Diego tomorrow for a vacation and network/explore. We've talked about moving away together for awhile and I think SoCal sounds wonderful, lots of job opportunity too! It'd be a great experience for us both and I can get away from this weird bond my sister and mom have. It's wearing me down, y'all!!

So in reference to my title and my supportive boo "There are no black clouds in San Diego" :)

No more pity parties, though, things really are great. Getting a puppy in 2 and a half weeks! Little Layla! And a vacation... I guess it's just mommy issues - haha. Sometimes people need to vent.

Will try and write in here more! And I hope things start to turn around for you all, too! Amanda
