We're going to my aunt's for thanksgiving. I think it should be fun. My cousin and his girlfriend just had a baby that is about 4 months older than Britton. I haven't gone to a big family gathering in years. I'm looking forward to it. I didn't think we were going to go because there was some akwardness between them and my dad for fucking my dad over. I told my dad that I'm completely on his side. If he wants to go, we will and if he doesn't then we'll stay home together.
My sister is back in jail. She got sentenced to 4 months for the identity theft with me (not her first count and was charged with it afterwards) and probation violation. She is serving all the sentences together and essentially is serving 4 months. I think that would be a really long time to be in jail. She's working towards her GED and she's working towards treatment. She's going to their program and will be attending a program afterwards. I really hope this works out for her. She's not mad at me anymore and she shouldn't be. She should be charged with it. Yet I feel very empathetic for her. We had it really hard growing up. I guess I just don't understand family the way other people do. Josh's family can do really shitty things to eachother and to me and they're always forgiven because they're family. I do not have the same liberties. I will get yelled at and excommunicated if I even defend myself. I am aware that the way I spoke to his mother about my feelings was inappropriate. I agree. But I also thinkt hat she was. I also only spoke inappropriately to her after she denied and lied about everything. It's such a mess. I think I may write my sister a letter. She's so manipulative and full of shit that I'm not sure I want to get involved with her at all.
I have one more quiz to do and an appointment with my field instructor and then this semester is over for me. I am really looking forward to it. I'm going back to work on December 6th. I am really dreading being away from Britton. We need the money and I have to do what's best for our family. I have to help provide.
Things have been good with Josh and I lately. I just need to get some more sleep. I wish that Britton was better about napping for longer periods. We're both tired but he fights sleep. I'm going to try and take a nap.
