Our Father Made A So Called "Compromise" - June 16, 1992

Day: June 16, 1992 TUES.  Date:   


Today mom called and I talked to her. I cried on the phone as usual.


This evening just a few min. ago our father made a so called "compromise." It said that we would stay home the rest of the week then the next 3 weeks we would have to go to the summer program. We started our talk around 9:00 PM and it ended at about 10:00 PM. It was so stupid we talked about stupid shit that had nothing to do with the summer program or staying home. 


I wish I was at home with mommy now. I'm realy homesick. If I even think about her my temples start hurting or I cry or I get misty eyed. I have to go to bed now.

I love that I used ironic quotes at age 10. Favorite sentence: "It was so stupid we talked about stupid shit that had nothing to do with the summer program or staying home." I can imagine all of the eye rolling and dramatic sighing I did during that hour. 

I hope my mom reads this and cries. Hahaha...no I don't. But I don't think she ever believed we hated these summer visits as much as we said we did. Take that, Mom! Just kidding. (Seriously, please don't call me crying about this. I survived and turned into a fairly well-adjusted adult. Well, except for the fact that I'm unemployed, 30 years old, and exploiting my childhood thoughts on a blog because I'm bored and crave attention.)
