its a beiber life...

Yep. Had to do it. Had to take 2 teen girls to the Justin Beiber concert in Everett Washington tonight. OMG! What a madhouse of screaming little girls. Yuk. Cant believe I used to be one! I was trying to exit the building when this girl about 11 or 12 years old comes in and starts screaming "I'm here! I cant believe im here!" and started crying! I beat a VERY hasty retreat 2 1/2 blocks away to my car and that is where I stayed till it was over...Fortunately for me, the girls I took were so very much more composed! I had to ASK for details of the concert.
Found out yesterday that my neighbor of 10 years served a restraining order against her husband last night. Apparently there has been domestic violence of some kind over there for a long time. I never heard anything, or saw anything in all the time they have been there. Im very proud of the mom for standing up for herself and her kids. Its so hard to do that when you have been beat down for so long. My friend also suffered a relationship like that for 13 years. She is getting better, but the scars to her mental state are still very obvious. I cant believe I never noticed anything in all that time. Maybe I should become a nosier neighbor. Maybe I could have helped her sooner. Its a crazy world we live in.
Read my oldest daughters blog tonight too. She has been reading a book that is making her think very hard about how she handles her feelings and hurts. Although it took a work of fiction to break through her walls, I am grateful for it. She has spent so many years just trying to deal with her daily issues she never really got a chance to look deeper. I am hoping that by exorcising the one person in her life she loves and hates most will help her to grow as well. She is an amazing person. Artistic, creative, adorable, with so much love to give. I wish I could have helped her more to express all of that without fear. Ah, well, I will try. I will never give up on her either.
And so I dont start sounding crazy I should probably sign off. I took a percocet tonight. I hurt my neck a couple weeks ago and stopped taking the ibuprophen. Mistake, so tonite I obliterate the pain and tomorrow will start the ibuprophen again. Smoochies!
