One Long Weekend

This was a very hectic weekend for me! It all started around 7:45 pm Friday, September 26th. My uncle was helping his friend move and had asked if I wanted to buy a 57" big screen T.V. for 150.00 dollars. I said "sure" because I figured that it was a hell of a deal. When I went to go check it out, my uncle's friend said "so you got my 200 bucks?" The T.V. wasn't even in great condition, so I was not about to pay that amount. There were cracks and crayon markings on the screen from his kids. I told him I only had $150 so he could either take it or leave it!

My uncle had to tow it on his trailor, so I told him that I would pay him back.

Around 9:00 pm that same night, I brought him a six-pack and helped him work on the cars that he was asked to fix. At about 11:45 pm, we finished and my cousin asked if I wanted to hang out with him and his friends. He got really drunk, so I pretty much spent all of my time trying to watch over him! I got home at approximately 4:00 am knowing I had to get up early for Saturday's class. My wife turned off the alarm, so I woke up an hour and a half late for class! By that time, it was almost 11:00 am so I figured that I might as well go to work. My wife didn't want me to work all day because she wanted to go get her hair and nails done so she could go out with her friends that night. I was genuinely pissed at her and did not want to see her face at all! I worked 12 and a half hours and didn't get home untill about 12:15 am. She was so upset with me, that when she left at 12:45am she did not come home untill 5:00 pm on Sunday! The only thing I was upset about, was that my daughter wanted her "mommy" after a while.
