Since I 'outed' my mom's gambling problem, we basically haven't talked this past whole week. She doesn't think she has a problem and she thinks I actually have a problem for thinking she has a problem. She's completely in denial and thinks we win more than we lose.. and I really don't think we win more than $600 every month so that can't be true. She's been lying to my dad saying she hasn't been playing the lottery this past year or so. She's trying to lie to me now saying she's quit recently when I know differently. She's wasting all this money and here I am having none to live on. I rely on joey for food in some ways.. I spend all the money I make on gas and saving to pay my mom for my car each month.. which by the way she threatened to turn in (it's a lease) the other night when she came up to my work.
Plus Angela's boyfriend is still living at our house but he actually said he wants to go to an in-patient rehab center.. so we'll see if that ever actually happens. My dad and I get along great whenever I do see him and my sister and I are fine but we only really get to talk on the phone here & there.
I'm happy where I am though. I'm at Joey's parents' house right now and 'The Notebook' is on tv. This house is clean, stable and comfortable and I can get my work for school done here.. plus seeing Joey so often is a pretty big perk. I cried myself to sleep the first couple nights after my mom and I fought and joey was right there next to me comforting me.. and I'm ok now. Joey and I are both really affectionate people and we have so much fun playing together. Last night I couldn't resist bugging/jumping on him while he was trying to sleep so he got me back by bugging me this morning before he had to work. :) We have this great conection where we're both goofy (especially joey) and we can laugh at the same jokes a hundred times and not get sick of them. He points out hilarious things that I would never notice if I didn't know him. I appreciate how much he does.. He takes care of me in so many ways.. I take care of him too.
Right now I have 93% (not including the extra credit) in the accounting class.. Sooo I just have to do well on the final and I'll be done :)
I'm going to be switching bbv stores because I don't like my store anymore. There are actually only a small handful of people I like working with now.. A change of scenery will be nice. A store that actually has some managers.
I don't like my life having so much drama in it..
That's why I'm not at home.
Call me selfish but I'm giving up trying to help them for right now and just focusing on myself this summer.
Anyone wanna do some drinking tonight?
Actually tonight's karaoke night.. We'll see how all that goes haha :) so any drinking would have to take place after I'm finished making a fool of myself.
