Potpourri

Ma,


  • Josh gave me a note saying he had fun the night before
  • Heather told me my hair looked really good french braided
  • Aunt Elaine is popping vicodens because something is wrong with her teeth - she's at the dentist now, hopefully getting fixed up
  • Alex got five stitches yesterday from slicing her finger open with a knife. A knife she was going to use to cut an apple. Then when we got home she was "mad at the apple" and she threw it out. So Aunt E. got angry at her for that, and Danielle almost threw a quarter at her head. We watched Clueless and High School Musical with Alex to make her feel better
  • I am still in the retard social studies class - my teacher actually said, "Why fix it if it's not broken?" with a smarmy smile, like I'd think he was doing me a favor. I am PISSED. I told him that what with all the chair throwing that goes on in our class, I'd feel safer in the other class, plus I'd learn more. He said we'll see. Yeah, I'll see him in the AP's office on Monday when we all have our meeting. Fucktard.
  • But. I was talking with Josh about the whole thing, and he said he's pretty sure anyone can take the Regents, regardless of what class they were in.
  • Tomorrow night we have a fire family dinner, and we are totally psyched because these people have a really cute dog. And they're really nice. Remember when Chris got really sick and was out of work for two weeks, and each day a different guy dropped off soup for him? This is the family that organized that.
  • I want a dog. So does Alex. So does Danielle. Danielle wants me to promise that when we move out of here, I will make sure we move somewhere that allows dogs.

Love,
Sam

i know it's none of my business, but if you don't mind, did you lose your father on 9/11 too?

No, just my mother, big brother and grandma. I don't have a father.

I am truly sorry for your losses and for the sad fact that your aunt is unable to provide the care that you and your sisters need.

I know that you are looking forward to the day when you and your sisters are able to move out and start the next portion of your lives. I wanted to make sure that you knew about this organization http://www.ttof.org/html/about.htm and this one www.911childrensfund.org

that might be able to help you when it comes time to look for college tuition money, assistance, etc.

I've only been reading your blog for a few weeks, but I tell that you are a bright, articulate, and compassionate young adult. Your sisters are lucky to have you. If there is anything that your readers can do for you (beyond the prayers that we already offer for your family) please let us know.
