Apparently the night hasn’t sobered my mom. She keeps drinking. Last night I slept on the new couch and I woke up when Weaver called on the phone. Grandma was talking to him and you could hear my mom in the background, yelling. Then she went upstairs and must have passed out because Grandma had turned the phone off but now it’s on and Mom hasn’t called at all. It’s kind of peaceful to know that she won’t call and bug us. But when she was calling she said that she would wash her hands of me and I wouldn’t get any money off her to go to college. I want to go to Grove City because it seems like a good school, so I was kind of nervous that she would completely give me up when she hung up on me. But I’m not worried because she called back a few minutes later trying to convince us to come to Sugar Bowl and she said  if we didn’t she would call the cops because I was her daughter and she should get to see me once a week. No one ever said that. But I’m still asking the rhetorical question, the question that never gets answered…”Why???”

Dear Diary,
Today Mom was drunk and rampaging around. She called me a bunch of times, giving me graphic details about her urinalysis test and saying how she planned to go to the hospital. Later, me and my grandma went to Albion, this town near us, and went to a park. Then we went to the Fireman’s Carnival and I got cotton candy which got stuck in my hair. By the time we got home, Mom had called 13 times, saying that she thought my grandma was talking to me in the background because she had been talking when I recorded the message on the machine. I’m always playing tricks on her with the phone, so maybe that’s why she thought that. Grandma said that if she is sober tomorrow we can go to a restaraunt. I hope she’ll quit drinking so we can. But even if she’s sober tomorrow, that doesn’t mean she’ll be sober the day after that or the day after that. She’s been drinking forever, so it’s probably hard for her to stop.
Love,
Heather
