Weridos

OK THERE ARE WEIRDOS IN THIS WORLD.


That said, I got the opportunity (ha ha) to get in on a weirder than weirdo situation last night. Actually, in all honesty, it was rather sad, but still, the weirdos are what made it weird.

A friend of mine calledyesterday, very upset, she had agreed (against her better judgement and ill gutted feelings) to meet up with her EX sister in law and her family for dinner out as they were in town for the day. Being smart, she decided they should go OUT to dinner as she did NOT want them to know where she lived. (SMART COOKIE SHE IS!) Well, when they did not show up to meet her she made some calls and found out they were apparently stopped for a traffic violation (not even close).
As the story comes to full cirlce, they are actually BOTH (wife and husband) being arrested and my dear friend shows up on the scene in time to get 3 small girls and an adoreable but stinky puppy handed over to her!!!!!!!!!!!!! Apparently the husband was seen being physical to the wife and someone called it in. The wife then drives off in a parking lot, only to be stopped by the cops and arrested for DUI and child endangerment!!! THEN they don't know what to do with the husband but being that he'd had preivous history with similar circumstances they decide to arrest him too for battery and also on child endangerment charges.
Meanwhile, my friend is left with these three children and a pup and no clue what to do! Well, after 1001 phone calls the weirdo guys' Mom agrees to come meet her and pick up the kids, she lives a good 2 hrs away so they decide to meet 1/2 way and drop off the kids. My friend calls me and asks me to ride along as she did not want to go alone (remember she IS a smart cookie!). After 1001 other phone calls we finally get them there and dropped off to the other Grandmother who in my opinion was probably not much more reliable than her son who was now sitting in jail. :O( SO SAD for those poor little kids. What a lifestyle....
The really sad part in all this is , besides the kids and the cutest, saddest puppy ever, is that the Mom of these three little girls comes from a really GREAT family! I happen to know her Mom and siblings and they are all awesome, great, wonderful, hard working people. I am sure it is heartbreaking for them to see her and her children go through all this. :O( Just sad that the girl went and married someone even more disturbed than she is....only made things worse.

Prayers for the little girls and the pup today!
