Regardless of how strange I think my entire family is, they’re still the best ever. My grandma called me after work today and she really made me feel so much better. Without even having to say it and be agreed with, she gave me the advice that describes exactly how I feel. It is hard not really having anyone to confide in sometimes when I’m down. My grandma is awesome. Yesterday was her 66th birthday. I’m glad I have a youngish grandma who understands me. Really, even though she is a bit crazy sometimes …. she’s like a mom to me. And its good to have a level-headed rational modern thinking grandma when I have a mom who is completely insane …. but I love her too. Shortly after talking to my grandma, my mom called. Yeah …. guess I’m popular today. My mom’s birthday is on Sunday … she’ll be 46. She called to thank me for the birthday card and was crying because she said I gave her too much money. I felt bad because she never gets to buy things for herself and honestly I don’t have any need to hoard money away somewhere. The world could end tomorrow and what would I have to show for it? I’d rather die knowing that my mom was happy with her glitter pens, the latest Harry Potter Movie, a good book, or a new sparkly ring to wear on her finger. I mean, if she doesn’t have a ring on every single finger then she’s not very happy. I love my mom. My dad stole the phone again and began to rant about the fleas on the cats and how he was going to slit their throats or take them to the animal shelter. I told him to stop being insane and told him I’d come home soon. He sounded so sad and said he missed me and loved me. I love my dad too. And now I’m just sad that I’m here by myself with absolutely nothing to do on a Friday night. I feel like there is nothing left for me in this place and I don’t feel like being alone tonight. I just want to go home so I have someone to talk to and be around people who love me.
