Saturday 17th July.

I woke up this morning, early, when Dave started slamming the cupboard doors around in the kitchen because he couldn't find anything to eat. I went down to see what the matter was, and he asked me where the decent stuff was. I started laughing at him and told him it wasn't a hotel then went back to bed. When I got up the second time, he had gone, but mom still hadn't arrived home form last night.

I checked her room and she wasn't in, and her purse was missing too. This led me to believe their was only one plausible explanation, she hadn't come home. I know that most kids would worry that their mom hasn't come back, but I don't need to worry, 'cos I know what has happened. She will have met somebody and gone back to his place. I don't want to think about what she has been doing at some strangers house, or I'll be mentally scarred for life, but I've got a pretty good idea that she has just added her name to the list of dirty stop outs!

She finally came home around one in the afternoon wearing last nights clothes, which only confirmed my suspicions. I still asked her where she had been, and she made some half ass lie about stopping over at Dave's. Right. Does she think I'm stupid, seen as Dave stopped over here?! Sometimes I really do think she is mentally lacking, either that or she thinks her son is a retard. She could have come up with something better than that, really.

Anyway, she spent most of her day in bed with a hangover, so I had to stop in to watch Cazzy, as according to her, she can't be left alone. Its different when she want's to bob out here and their when I'm at school and she gets left alone in her cot; but I didn't tell her that, she wouldn't understand.

Jimmy decided to come over seen as I couldn't go out, and we watched this documentary about what had happened in Vietnam. Jimmy kept dosing off through it, but I found it interesting. Its funny when you realise what a mess we made against the Vietcong, and we really got our asses kicked by those Guerrilla fighters. Who would have thought that their simple tactics could have won against the technology, (or bombs) we had? It shows how the big government people in charge never think about things tactically, that was their mistake.

Later on me and Jimmy tried to get Carol to talk, but it just wasn't happening, she just gargles and makes this cute little hiccup sound. I guess she is still too young to talk, but I don't want her to be one of them babies that develop slowly, because they didn't have many people around them in the learning stages. I've been thinking about it, and how is she supposed to learn how to talk when she is on her own quite a lot? I'm gonna start talking to her for at least an hour everyday, I've decided. Jimmy thinks I'm stupid for even trying, seen as their Ryan is three and can still only mutter a few words. Still, our Cazzy is much smarter than his dumb little cousin, so she will be talking in no time when I'm done with her.

Jimmy went home when mom surfaced around six. I went round the shop to get her even more cigs and some hangover pills. Yeah, I had a very eventful day, not! I can't wait for next week to pass by, so I can go out every day instead of wasting my time, in boring school.

Jack.
