The True Story of Jesus

There once was a couple a VERY long time ago. Their names were Mary and Joseph and they were some pretty cool people.
The "proposal" was so romantic. When Joseph and Mary were barely old enough to talk, their parents sat down together and betrothed Mary to Joseph. So they grew older with the understanding that when they were old enough, they would be married.
But when they were old enough, Mary decided she wanted a Big, Fancy, EXPENSIVE wedding and reception. Seeing as how Joseph's job as a carpenter would require years and years of saving to afford this type of affair, they decided to try something unconventional...
Mary and Joseph decided to rent out Mary's uterus...that's right, Mary became a surrogate mother.
You see Abraham and Sarah down the road (I know there's time conflicts, whatevs) could not have children of their own. They were very sad and very willing to spend the money to be able to have a child of their own. So the four of them walked a few hundred miles to the nearest fertility treatment center and "did the deed."
When they got back to town there was a lot of talk about this situation. Realizing many people did not approve, Mary and Joseph came up with a more probable story about how Mary became pregnant out of wedlock...It was God's son, of course!
With this new story, they were unable to hand over Jesus to Abraham and Sarah and had to give them back all of their money; Mary was pretty upset.
Then on a roadtrip to Mecca one day Mary went into labor and they had to stop at the nearest stable to give birth. Mary fell in love with him instantly and demanded the Biggest, Fanciest, MOST EXPENSIVE babyshower ever. To her dismay only 3 old guys and their nephew who was learning to play the drums showed up.
Down the road, Abraham became so obsessed with having a baby that he slept with Sarah's maid and eventually kicked Sarah out.

Despicable Me....Disaster, Delight, Near Disaster

I had this whole day planned out. We were going to get up, pay rent, go to the bank, the card shop and then Wally World. Then we were going to come home, give Dominic a bath, shower ourselves. Then we would drop Dominic off at Grandma Alice's, go to Applebees for dinner at 6, the movies to watch the premier of Despicable Me at 8:15, and then to pop fireworks outside of Horizon City.

Things never go as planned.

Doug didn't show up to pick up rent until about 3 hours after we had planned. Thus, our whole day was set behind. We didn't get to Applebees till about 6:30. Even so we made it to the movies on time. However, our seats weren't great because it was already packed, we were in the third row and now my neck hurts =/

DISASTER
So, when we were at Wally World we bought some candy and drinks to sneak into the theater to save money. Right before the movie started I opened the drinks to avoid the fizzy noise during the movie. I put mine in my cupholder and handed Robert his but he says he doesn't want it and asks me to put them in my purse until the movie starts so we don't get caught. I am sitting with my purse in my lap for a few minutes and then I feel this "puddle" sensation through the lap of my dress......Oh no please no....... Yep sure enough the Dr. Pepper had spilled in my purse. I wasn't too upset until I realized that my phone was in the side pocket of my purse. It has gone into a coma we're not sure if it will make it.......

DELIGHT
The movie was sooooo good. I laughed throughout and it was too cute! Heartwarming, hilarious.

NEAR DISASTER
Then, we went to this truck stop called the Flying J. Robert dropped my phone's battery between his seat so we were looking for it for a few minutes. Then we were looking for his phone which I swear I had just had in my phone. Then, we close the doors and about to go inside when Robert asks me if I had locked my door. "Of course." Then, panic sets in. Oh shit please tell me we did not just lock the keys in the car. Yep the keys are in the car. Thankfully, Robert had left the back driver's side door unlocked.

And then there were fireworks. Or works fire. Or ireworksfay. Whatever floats your boat.

Life

.....sucks. Life really isn't fair, is it? I follow this one blog and this woman just lost her baby to ALS. It's heartbreaking to read; I literally cried at work reading it today. No mother should ever have to go through that. But she seems so strong and it's inspiring and hope-inspiring.

Marissa is going through a really hard time too. I think most of all that is what has kept me in an almost constant state of depression these past couple of weeks. I talk to her a lot now on the phone, twice a day. And on the phone I'm happy for her, I have to be. I tell jokes and cheer her up and I really am happy but then we hang up and I cry. Dominic keeps me from falling apart. Also I'm looking forward to a trip home to San Antonio for two weeks soon. Dominic will get to see his Grandma Pena again and he'll get to meet his grandpa and aunts and uncles and cousins!

My mom worries a lot. About Marissa mostly. But I know she knows I'm taking it hard even though I reveal nothing when I talk to her. She knows. I feel like I have to be strong for a lot of people. Sometimes I feel so alone. Even though I know I should be so happy this summer: I was just blessed with a beautiful life. I wish she wouldn't worry it's not healthy for her.

Then, there's people like Stephen. He deserves nothing special. He shouldn't be happy. What has the world come to where Marissa is sad a lot and has to raise a two year old while 6 months pregnant and her cheating husband is running around with some UGLY a** b***h!??! Usually i wouldn't blame the other girl but she knew he was married and had a toddler and still continued on with this relationship.
Marissa is so strong; she had the strength to kick him and keep him out. But I know she has her moments where she wishes....
She gets angry, she gets sad, she's frustrated, she's hurt. I wish I could take away all her pain. I would if I could. I want more than anything for her to find happiness again. I wish I could look into the future and know and promise her that she will find a great guy, she will find love again.

I am a strong believer in Karma. "What goes around comes around" kind of thing. I know Life isn't fair.

To Karma: Here are my suggestions for those two: He does the same thing to her (well, leave out the two kids this time) and he ends up in his late-twenties alone, broke, and living with his mom off the government in a trailer whose sink has rotted through the floor.
