the beginning of something better?

so my friend told me about this thing called livejournal and i thought i'd check it out. this whole internet thing is pretty crazy actually. i can actually send little messages to my brother while he's at work half way across the country and he'll reply within minutes thats how crazy this internet thing is. i've only ever used it at school but now i think i'll use it a lot. so now for the actual journal entry.

we've been at cori's for a little over two weeks now. that's my sister. we're staying with her for awhile until mom is better. its a small apartment but it's nicer than our house. it's clean and actually smells nice, like laundry detergent and flowers, and clean. not like booze, and smoke and dirty dishes. her roommate is even nice to us. i really like it here and i wish we never had to go back to that shithole. cori pays attention to us. she even picks us up from school every day. she took us shopping at this huge mall in glendale. i've heard of it but never been there until a few days ago. she bought us all new clothes and new shoes and games and cd's and everthing else we could ever want. she takes us out to dinner to places i know cost a lot of money. we haven't had to clean or cook or take care of ourselves since we've been here and i never want to leave. its like heaven. but i know its just some sick joke the fates are playing on us. give us everything we could ever dream of for one month and then take it all away. sometimes i wish my mom wouldn't get better so we could stay here forever.
