Mother's Day

It's 1:35PM, and it's raining! The house worker will be gone till 4PM. Dad took me home a little before lunch time. When I got back to the house, I had a sandwich and chips. The weekend over at my parents' house was good and the little one was sweet! I'm reading over my entries on this blog that I made in 2022! God, answered my prayer & I'm going back to school! I hope my mom is having a wonderful day, they were watching movies on the TV when I left. I gave her a facial massager and a card. We went to eat dinner out last night and I had a frozen margarita.  

My roommate and I smoked a quick cigarette, I am getting through these entries slowly but surely and dad said to be more mindful of my money I have $23 Cash, & $8 Chime,.... 

Friday After Thanksgiving

    Back inside from smoking, sitting on my bed and just drank my last Pepsi. I had a great thanksgiving, and my roommate is playing Christmas music. A couple of days ago, she surprised me by buying me gummy bears. My Dad came and picked me up Wednesday at 11AM and we went to go eat at King Buffet. It was a big buffet full of every type of Chinese food. Then we got a fishing license at Walmart, and he got me a vanilla milkshake from Sonic. The little one wanted a lot of "Alone Time"! 

    Then on Thanksgiving, Mom and Dad spent all day cooking together. I stayed in the extra bedroom and each night I fell asleep earlier than they did. We had ham, green bean casserole, sweet potatoes, and some other stuff. That night Mom made a pecan pie and we had ice cream. I don't cook and mostly we eat at the center that we attend Mon-Fri from 9AM to 2PM. I guess the rest of the group is there, anyway, I have no idea where most of the group is. 

    Then He dropped me off at 9:45AM, after we ate at Skillet N' Grill! I had chicken and waffles, and my leftovers are in the Fridge. Had Smart Popcorn and a Big Red and a Pepsi, and a lot of coffee. It's the Friday after Thanksgiving and I don't have much money, only about $8. 

St. Patricks Day

We celebrated St. Patrick's Day at the center today, we wore green sparkly shamrock hats and took photos. They handed out green beads and at the end of the day they took up the hats and the necklaces. It's the weekend and I have ten cigarettes left from what my father handed me last weekend when we went fishing. He said, he can't go this weekend, tomorrow because My Mom and Him are going to be taking pictures. 

I hope he drops by and takes me too breakfast and provides me with four packs of Lucky Strikes. I have learned it is dangerous to make someone, your entire world. God, should take more of your life than anyone and my main concern shouldn't be cigarettes. Although, every weekend he's provided for me, I have been thankful. My parents drove home from little rock, Arkansas, today and I'm still waiting to hear back from them. Spring Break was this week and I had the joy of talking with my case workers. I want to just chill out this weekend and it's Friday! The weekend is a good time to relax and catch up on things. 

Memorial Day

​I’m sitting at our family kitchen table and drinking my third cup of coffee. I’m so blessed that my little one has been in a good mood for most of the weekend. I’m here for a few more hours and my son and I have been using his new scented colored pencils and crayons. He woke me up at 6:30AM and was excited about receiving his packages that my parents had ordered him yesterday.

I’m wanting to stay here as long as I can; he has been so sweet. There’s a long history of soldiers in my family history and today is the day to be grateful for them. My father said, “you don’t thank the soldiers who have made it safely back home by thanking them for their service” but “today is the day to remember the soldiers who have died”. I’ll hold onto special memories for today and be thankful for any situation I am in.

I want to do my best and be invited over more often. Though tomorrow starts another week at the center and not being as spoiled as I am here. I’m going to miss my family but I will stay at The Group Home and be patient till I can see them again. Memories are important but the ones that haunt you can really tear a person down. In both situations; there’s things to be grateful for. I don’t have many things going on wrong that make me want to run away again and things have definitely improved.
