My Journal

1/21/19

I haven't done much today, though I need to. I'm currently going to get my hair trimmed, though. I just have to wait on my brother to finish choosing a pair of running shoes.
Earlier today, though, my mom started talking about divorce again. She called me & my brother into the living room when we were alone in the house, and came up with a plan for us, if C doesn't change (which is likely; he's a dick. He called my mom a maid just yesterday because she asked him to do dishes with her).
I decided I for sure wouldn't invite him to my wedding earlier this (school)year, and I've been expecting for the marriage to fail after the second month or so of it.
I suppose I just figured the talks would begin senior year, not Junior.
The plan is, my brother E will apply to this one good boarding school. If he gets in, he'll go there his Junior year (1 1/2 years), and I'll be graduated and in college. Mom will move around the boarding school and get a better paying job there as well to cover the costs of divorce.
The only thing not in the 'plan' is my step-brother.
I asked my mom about him, and she just said that once C and her split, it wouldn't be her responsibility.
I know she's right, and I know that she still has no actual control over what happens to him then even if she wanted, but still... He doesn't like C(his dad) either, and I don't exactly want to leave him with him for a year.
All of it would most likely affect his grades, which is another problem.
Plus, my family has finally started giving him Xmas gifts and such and he's accepted it when people call me his sister and such (when it started out, he would make it a big deal and say 'She is NOT my sister', but now he'll be w friends or something and roll his eyes and ignore me and say 'That's my sister, ignore her'(like any brother would)).
He's quite loyal and so I know the relationship will stay, he just won't come to Christmases and such anymore, and it won't be the same.
But I suppose that's true even with me moving off and going to college...
Knowing someone and seeing them every day/living with them are two very different things.
I suppose we'll just have to see what happens...

A dragon drawn on a paper 'tablecloth' w/ friends during a church potluck. His name is Maleficent. He is also a fashion designer who kidnaps royalty to try on his works and advertise for customers... Princesses and Princes have been known to sneak out to buy his works (they're quite scandalous usually). On the other side of the table is the pink power ranger, a scribbled out mer-man(it made me sad, some kid done did graffiti on my work!), and that one Elf guy.
