What if........

I hope you all enjoyed my short story.... I will try to post one every day if I can...

Before I update on the whole plumber situation I would like to share a little scare that my family and I went through.  Today I speak with my mother and I noticed that she sounded different not her usual self.

I ask her What's wrong?....She tells me you dont know what happened to me yesterday.. I said What what happened???

She starts to tell me that my Little sister(above with my daughter) went out to the movies with a couple of friends yesterday about 8:00 pm.(I dont know what made my mother let her out at the time) My sister just turned 16 yrs old last mth....Anyway she was supposed to catch the 9:00 Showing and come home as soon as it was over.

Well ....10 pm passed 11 pm passed 12am passed 1am passed 2am passed 3am comes.... At 11pm my mom calls her to find out where shes at my sister tells her the movie is finishing and she will be home soon.. My mother tells her she better hurry up...Well as you already see these hrs have passed and my mother is calling her and calling her she is not getting an answer its going straight to voicemail.

This is not like my sister she always picks up her phone...When 2am comes my mother flips out shes thinking the worst ...Somebody must have beat her up shes hurt.. Maybe the ppeople she was with hurt... a million and one things all negative are running through my moms mind at this point.

My mother starts calling all her friends asking them if they have seen her.. No one knows..She even speaks to the boy my sister said she was going to the movies with.. He is at home asleep..SO WHO THE HELL IS SHE WITH????

So by now my mother is hysterical, She is having an anxiety attack.. My other sister calls the police who get there 45 mis later...(Mind you all this is going on and NO ONE THINKS TO CALL ME AND LET ME KNOW..They say because they know that I have anxiety panic disorder and they did not want to get me worried. What is up with that my sister is missing and they think I shouldnt know this!!!

Police arrive and start asking a million and one question and my sister starts flipping out on them like WHY THE HELL ARE YOU GUYS SITTING HERE ASKING ALL THESE QUESTIONS WHEN MY SISTER CAOULD BE LYING SOMEWHERE HURT..but as we all know this is procedure and they need all the information before they can do anything ..... Meanwhile time is passing and my mother is praying she can just her daughter's voice again.... I can not imagine the pain she was going through......

3am comes and my sister finally CALLS and do you know what her reason is???? SHE SAYS SHE GOT LOST ON THE TRAIN...Don't freaking give me that BS... If she was able to get there without getting lost getting back is not at all difficult...... Imstead of going to the closest theatre NOO she decides to go to Manhatten (Without anyones permission) 42nd Street of all placess! I am even scared to be walking out there late at night.... there is soo many crazy people out there...

My Little sister thought she was grown thought she was invisble Thank God nothing happened to her but WHAT IF....

What if someone had confronted them?

What if this guy who my mother doesnt even know would have hurt her?

There is so many what if's....What if my mother would have caught a heart attack??

What if we never seen her face or heard her voice again???

She failed to think about all this as most teenagers do..... Here she is taking the train from Manhatten to Brooklyn wearing gold necklaces earrings, a north face jacket , $300 Prada shoes and shes acting like we live in a world full of angels....I dont understand this girl...

I just thank the lord that my sister is home safe and sound .... that my mother did not have a heart attack and that the police were able to go home without sendidn out another Amber Alert....

My sister is now grounded and I plainly let my mother know if she does not enforce this punishement I will definitley do it myself!

AS for my mother not calling me if anything would have happened to my sister I dont think i would have ever forgave them for not calling me the minute they suspected something was wrong..

Update:  YESS the plumber finally decide to show up..... He is going to be returning sometime in the week to make sure the boiler doesnt fill up again.... As for my landlady ... a couple days ago she asked me if I was going to be home today.. I said Yes as today was my day off.. So she says good Is it ok if I let the Fire Dept guy into the basement so that he can inspect the boiler I say Yes I'm not doing anything else..So today I wait... He was supposed to be here between 12 and 2 pm ...That time frame passed no guy.. OK .. I call her.. She says Well ok if you have to go out go ahead..But you know what why dont I give you his number so that you can negoiate a day with him.. WHAT THE HELL IF I AM GOING TO BE A LANDLADY MIGHT AS WELL BE MAKING HER MONEY RIGHT OR WRONG I MEAN CMON! .So this time I say no why dont you call?? She was shocked lol..... So putting that aside she then asks me if I would have time to advertise an apartment that she has available 'SIGH" She's a trip.

I hope one day she decides to leave me something in that damn WILL  LOL J/J or am I hmmmmmm.

For those of  you who have never heard Clay Aiken's new album I strongly advise you either buy it or download it like I did.  Its Awesome!

Well Hubby just got home from work gonna go feed him and watch some television before bed...

Take care all and goodnite!

Your landlady is not and could not be as innocent about what she is doing as she plays to be.  Ask her to put you on the payroll or reduce your rent if you are going to fill her job descriptions.  That thing they just did with your sister and not telling you is wrong and I would be hurt by it too.  Anybody would I think.  So very glad she is ok.  Why do kids think they are invincible and untouchable and immortal?  Total teenager thing to do.  Dumb and dangerous.  Hope she stays grounded for a long, long time.  Until she's 30!
