notes on a life, part ummmm whatever.

my life
some days it really sucks to be a mom. no really. yes really.
Lauren is in York for 258 more days. Sentenced for her 2 DUI arrests and one driving without a license, on Dec. 8. 9 months. I finally got to see her yesterday, she was in medical until this past Sunday, probably longer than expected. that is 23.5 hour lockdown. She called twice and we talked. She went to general population Monday morning, right when they went to their thrice yearly week-long lockdown for clearing out the contraband. that is 24 hours a day lockdown. It ended I guess Thursday night. Lockdown means, no showers, no seeing sunlight. I saw her yesterday, on my pre-approval courtesy visit. She did nothing but bitch and complain about how horrible it was, how filthy dirty it was. I’ve heard before that York was a dirty prison. They’ve been cited by the state for mold. heck, you have a jail by the ocean, in a bay that gets horrendous humidity all year, and you don’t expect to have to maintain the mold? They say it has been remediated. I doubt it, and Lauren has a severe mold allergy. She’ll be sick the entire 9 months I guarantee.
She looked OK, but was the pissed off sober Lauren. I can handle that. smile and nod my head. Just that in the past, the pissed off Lauren who was sober, or trying to remain sober, would spin herself up so much over little things, anything really, and then drink. She can’t here, so maybe, I pray, she learns how to deal with the angry pissed off at the world Lauren.
It is going to snow alot here in a while, I have tons of things yet to do for christmas dinner. I have to go get more saurkraut for the pierogis. and farmers cheese. and a few more gifts, but the dinner comes first. so I guess the rest of “what’s happening” will have to wait for a part two.
Oh, and if you drink at all, please never ever drive afterwards. Being arrested is the least of your problems. The pain that you cause the rest of your family is indescribable. It ain’t all about you.
