September 4 Thursday Amy and I went shopping tonight for something to wear to Crystal�s party tomorrow night. She bought a new pair of jeans and a red tank. I bought a new pair of jeans and a black tee. The next time we shop, it will be to buy sweaters and long johns. I hate winter. All that extra clothing just wears you down to a nub. Being trapped indoors with nothing to do on the weekends drives me insane. I need to be free and outside. Out of this house. Especially out of this house. I finally called dad and told him that after this trip he should stay home for a while. I didn�t want to worry him too much, so I just said we missed him, especially mom. He said he would see what he could do, which is more than he�s said in the past. I think he heard the quiet desperation in my voice. The silent pleading. She hasn�t gone overboard again since Tuesday, but who knows what happens when we are at school. I think Jeremy is scared to be at home with her alone. He asked to come to the party tomorrow night, but I told him it was only for Juniors and Seniors, plus dad was coming home tomorrow afternoon. He�s only 13. He shouldn�t be scared of his own mother. At least not like that. Not in the way that she could flip out at any moment. I was thinking about finding a job until softball season starts, but I don�t know if I can leave him alone that often. He�s just a kid. Hell, I�m just a kid. I can�t wait till tomorrow night. This week has gone on long enough. I need a beer and no responsibilities. Getting my mom back would be nice too.
