I wanted to write about some song lyrics I heard today, but instead I have a couple of other things to say. First of all, my friend and I who were in a fight have made up. That's the only good thing that happened all day today. I'm very grateful for it - BELIEVE ME - but I'm cranky and in a pissy mood after the rest of the day.

I've discovered that as I spend more time with the kids at work, I develop a bond with them of some kind. Then, when I found out what someone else has done to that child (yes, even a parent), I get REALLY MAD. I can't do anything about it. I found out today that one of the kid's mothers had custody of all three children, then she decided that she didn't really like the middle one (the boy I know), and so she sent him back on a plane, by himself, FROM ALASKA. Also, her new husband didn't like him. How can you do that to a child?? You can't just decide one day that you don't like YOUR OWN CHILD. AUGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGh.

Second, my mom's sick. And that always sucks.

Third, my dad's not too good at the whole "pickin' up his end of the stick" thing. My mom's sick. I was an hour late getting home from work (some people just don't know how to stop talking...myself included). Did he start dinner? No. Then, when I tell him that I'm sorry I got upset, he gets all, I don't know. Annoying. He says, "I deserved it" in this guilt-trip-ridden voice. I can't take care of EVERYTHING. Okay, so a few weeks ago, my mom's doctor said that I shouldn't have shoulder the burden of a household. Well, maybe I shouldn't, but I do.

Fourth, I just had a disturbing e-mail from my best friend. Her life sucks today, too.

From Guster: I deserve a world of my own.
