6:23 PM Today has officially sucked. Even though I had a 4 hour conversation with Liz on the phone and a 20 minute conversation with Whitney. My mom is being a total idiot. I made the decision to do my homework in my room and not come out and be annoyed by my mom and Pat. I got yelled at. For doing my homework. She said socializing was more important. Then they went to Hobbytown. She tried to bribe me by buying me a book on Hemp. And letting me use her cell phone to call Whitney and Liz so it didn't use my minutes on the house phone. And she left just a bit ago. I told her I wanted dinner, not to 'graze' on cheese and crackers and bagel bites. And she yelled at me some more. Actually...she made me cry. Whatever. It's all good. Please don't hurt me...
