When we arrived at "The Henderson's", we got to seat ourselves. We picked a table that could fit six people, and we chose the one closest to the window, those are the kind me and my mom like. When the waitress came she handed us the menus, even though we all knew what we wanted to get anyways. I ordered the patty melt with tapped root beer, it came with French fries, my mom ordered the farmer's omelet with coffee. Sierra got spaghetti and meatballs and some coke, Jenny got the same thing I did, Julie ordered tomato soup with grilled cheese and orange pop, which is her favorite. Last but not least Nicole asked for eggs and bacon with chocolate milk.
While we were all waiting for our food and drinks we all started talking. "So" mom chatted, "since it's already 6:30 in the afternoon, I was thinking when we get home we can pack a little more, go to bed, and finish packing and leaving tomorrow."
"Okay" I chimed in, "may Julie, Sierra, Nicole, and Jen please stay the night if it's okay with you and their parents?"
"Yes, of course, if they want to" mom replied. "Of course I want to" said Sierra not even having to think about it, everyone else wanted to too.
When we got our food everyone stopped talking to eat and we all drank our drinks. I had a lot on my mind while I was eating. I couldn't get what my dad did to us out of my head.
"Why did he have to be such a jerk, we didn't even do anything to him" I thought getting a little angry.
When I was little all he did was drink... He even went to work drunk, so everyday my mom worked she had to hire a babysitter. Her name was Angelina. She had to be here even if my dad was here, because he would drink so much he couldn't take care of me. She was such a good babysitter, but whenever she came over my dad would yell at her, have her just do stuff for him. She never did though, she always took care of me, I remember going to the park with her, while my dad was home passed out on our couch. Over at the park she would play with me, go on the swings and slides, we had so much fun, but I always told her how I missed my mom. Everyday my mom came home, I told Angelina "thank you." I even told my mom how I liked her babysitting me. I even remember him yelling at me and my mom. He would yell at my mom a lot... Destroyed some things in our house, so my mom would have to buy the things again.
When I looked up from my food, I realized everyone was done eating, waiting for me to be done.
"Sorry I'm taking so long to eat... I was just thinking about something," I apologized.
"That's fine" mom said, "are you okay?"
"Yeah I'm fine now I think," I told her.
When we were done eating, we all told my mom thanks for the food, and we got in the car. While we were in the car they all told their mom they were gonna stay our last night with us. We also drove to their house so they could get their pjs and a change of clothes for morning. On our way back to our house after grabbing all of their stuff it was 7:30 so we headed back to the house.
When we got back to the house we kept on packing. We helped my mom in the kitchen and living room since we were all done in my room. It took us a while. We started with the kitchen, and then went to the living room to pack up everything there. It took us till 8:30 pm to pack up both rooms. As soon as everything was boxed up my mom backed up the moving van to get closer to the house so we could start loading up the furniture. We started with my mom's king size bed frame, then mattress and box spring. When we got done doing those things, we put the couch and loveseat right next to it in the van. Those were SO HEAVY! We all had to take a break after we loaded them. I didn't know they were THAT heavy... But we still had to do my hot pink futon and its frame.
After we put my futon in the van we started to add boxes. We each carried three to four boxes to the van at once. We started with the boxes from my room, and my mom's room. I didn't realize we had this much stuff, there are so many boxes. We had to take so many trips to the van, and we still aren't even done. It was already 9:34 when we got done putting the boxes from the two bedrooms to the van. We still had tons of boxes left to add to the van. At least we got all of the furniture out of here.
