Mercy

Mercy! I give up! The Drama will not leave me alone. Things are okay with Todd and I but everything else is falling apart. My brother who was scheduled to come home from Iraq in March, but as for Bush's new plan he is extended for at least 6 more months. My family is pretty upset, he's in some pretty dangerous areas and some of the members of his team died. The caretaker job is stressful as hell. The woman that was the caretaker before myself had one apartment turnover and in the three months that we have been in charge we are up to 6 with two more coming in a month. We have had to paint 5 apartments beside have our normal jobs and take care of our ever busy 11 month old baby. And the drama hasn't stopped there. Tonight I have a 16 month old sleeping on my couch. She is from across the hallway and her mother was in the hallway saying that she had to go to another town and I told her that if she was coming right back that she might as well leave her here because she was coming right back. Well I went to work and her step dad is there and she is supposed to come to work at 6 and at 7:30 we are all starting to get worried! She broke up with her boyfriend last week because he got violent with her and she needed to do what was best for her and her baby and she was going up to pick him up in another town. Didn't occur to me that it probably not the smartest thing to do at the time. But she called from a casino crying with him yelling in the background and that is all we know! I have the baby until the grandmother gets off work at midnight. I am so glad that I got the baby from her! I can't imagine! But other than that I am helpless. I don't feel that it is my part to call the cops, her family is aware of the situation and unless there is something going on at the apartment they can call the police if they feel it's necessary. But until we find out all I can do is take care of this little girl. I need a vacation so bad!
