Sometimes I just want to scream

Frustration, anger, and depression. These are just a few emotions that are overwhelming my brain right now and causing me to feel mute. Yesterday, I came home at around 5:00 and started to get ready for a birthday party. Just then the telephone rang and it was my mother's cousin. She told my mom that her daughter was really sick and she didn't know what to do. It's been a few months since she came to San Jose and English is one of the hardest subjects for her. She didn't assistance and my mother was there to help her no matter what. We didn't to drive to her house and my mother needed my help to get across town. Usually, she can't drive at night and her eyes cannot adjust to the road very well. So she needs an extra pair of eyes to keep her moving forward on the road. I couldn't believe my luck! Right when I was getting ready for a party, an "emergency" was knocking at my door. So, we left immediately and I was hoping to get back in time and leave for the party. Well, the time seemed to be in quite a rush and the next time I checked my watch, it was already 10:00. I can't believe how selfish the hours and minutes can be. I mean when you want the time to go by faster, it will drag on relentlessly. However, after much begging and pleading on slowing it down, it will speed by you faster than a bullet. So, now I am sitting in my room feeling the power of frustration and anger overwhelm me. I want fresh air but looking out the window, somehow, depresses me. I love the cloudy weather but this is the first time in my life, I feel like screaming. The weather seems to feel my pain right now and wants to play coy with me. Well, enough about my troubles!!! How was everybody's weekend???

Well, you know lorita. If you are frustrate, go punch a bunchy bag. ^.^ Let me have a prediction. If you "went" to the party and your mom drive to your mom cousin house. You say that your mom can't drive well at night and what if something happen to your mom. Then you is the one that gonna regret for not going with your mom. Leaving a party or two is fine but saving a person is important. The more friends you have the move party you going. So don't feel frustrate about not going. Feel good that you went with your mother instead. And I ppl hated that when you about to go and have fun, an emergency came up. It quite disturbing and made ppl mad, but it all depend on the "situation", this time your mom can't drive so you went with her. Who know next time it day light and your mom drive without you there to help and you went to the party.
