how come when we talk on the video chat thingy with our parents it puts us in a worse mood. mostly maeve's mood turns mine sour. she is probably crying now. i'm ready for this to be done and it's only the second day. i still have thursday. friday. saturday. sunday. monday. tuesday. thankfully saturday and some of sunday will be better because i won't be here. i'm at the point where i would rather be at school than at home. the tension in this house is crazy. we are all trying hard not to explode. or implode.

and today is the first day since i got my ring that i haven't worn it. that tells you right there what it is like in my house.
