Haywire...

Emotions are going haywire again, and I hate them. I cried for a good 5 minutes about nothing, and decided to get up and write instead of laying there crying some more. I don't understand how anyone could consider this the "best time" of their life.... I really don't. They must all have really crappy lives, then is the only thing I can think whenever I hear that. "Oh, I loved my pregnancy so much... it was so wonderful!" Compared to what?? I personally hate it. I can't stand the fact that any little thing makes me cry, I hate the fact that no food appeals to me and I don't like the fact that my stomach is starting to get in my way!! But enough about me.... the world doesn't revolve around me.

I was reading the paper this morning, and was reminded of that couple who had four kids... a baby, an 18 month old, I think a 3 year old and a 5 yo.... and the kids were found in piles of their own crap, basically. I just can't understand how ANYone could subject another person to living like that... especially a baby!! And then the dad tried to say that his job was SOOOO stressful that he HAD to do drugs, and he'd been punished enough by having his face plastered all over tvs and newspapers. WHAT??!? I hope that mom gets her kids back. I think she's really, truely sorry for what she did, and I don't think she'll let anything like that happen again.

They're still looking for that Stacy Peterson girl... the 23 yo. Bolingbrook cop's wife...There haven't been any new developments, no leads, no nothing. I personally think he did it. Just like Lisa Stebic, who's been gone for I think about 6 months now. They call in all these psychics who say "Oh, she's under a tree, and there's lots of water and..." I don't believe any of it. I don't think they can really "see" her, or "feel" her anymore than the rest of us can. Here's hoping that something turns up soon!

On top of all that, there's a story in there about the village, and how they don't post their board meeting minutes on the website... ya think?? We've been trying to get to a village meeting for 2 months, and I'm at least going to this one. Something needs to be done about the parking situation here. Either Watson's needs to build a parking lot out back, or the landlord needs to do something. He's got a 3 car lot on the corner for 9 units... by no stretch of the imagination is that enough! Not only that, but I'm not walking all the way around the corner just to unload groceries or laundry!! I asked a couple of the cops what would hypothetically happen if I personally put signs up saing "tenant parking only", and they said that since it hadn't been done by the village, they couldn't enforce it. So, it's looking like we're screwed either way on this one. *sigh* I hate podunk towns. I really do.
