Danielle flipped out yesterday. She's not mother's helpering anymore for Craig because his family went on a vacation. They gave Dani a bonus of $150 on her last day. None of her good friends are in town. Mine either. Alex's camp is over and she had been going with Danielle to Craig's, but now they're both hanging around. Wendy's family is off on vacation too, so I'm not mother's helpering Nora this week either.
Luckily, my friend Idalis is on vacation, and she works at a corner store. So I took over her hours while she's away, and between that and the diner I have almost a full time job if I put them together. Everybody else goes on vacation and that leaves me with less hours. If people are not around to do their jobs, and I am then I should have more hours right? I must have the wrong jobs if I have fewer hours.
Alex and Danielle come to the corner store with me and read magazines and then go off somewhere. They've been going to Brooklyn and wandering around, I think. Oh, or going to the pool. But it closes on Monday, and then on Tuesday school starts.
Crappy Old Navy was having a 40% off sale for two weeks so now we all have new flip flops. Alex didn't get any new clothes except one thing for the first day of school, and I had to get a lot - all my jeans were too short and too tight. I wish I could have gotten these - they look so cool. When I go to college I'm going to buy a non-sale pair of pants at a nice store. I don't care if I take my sisters money to do.

Hi there. I've been reading a lot of your stuff since Thoradora pointed out on of your posts to me. i'm sorry, incredibly sorry for all you've been through and the thought that you've been left to mother your siblings breaks my heart. You sound smart and strong and way too mature for your age. I have a 16 yo boy and I wish he was half as smart as you. Take care and if you need anything you think a blog reader can provide let me know.
I do have one piece of advice though, get the HPV shot. I know it seems sex related right now and that might seem pointless but I have had cervical cancer in my thirties and if I could have taken that vaccine I would have. It doesn't make you permissive to protect yourself now for the future.
Take care, love from Canada, Lala
