Hi! It’s me! Lily!
Well, I knew the peace wasn’t going to last. Sabby had an idea. An awful idea. Sabby had a wonderful, awful idea.
So the church the family goes to (I haven’t gone lately because of work) is big on doing good things over the holiday season. Which is good, I guess – why they can’t do it every other time is beyond me, but who am I to meddle in the affairs of religious people? This Sunday they’re having an event where they feed the poor and the homeless.
It’s a nice idea. I can’t deny that the church tries. After all, if it weren’t for them, I’d have never found Dave and Sabby. Or they’d have never found me.
Anyway, Sabby thought it’d be a good idea to volunteer the family (except me, but only because I have to work) to help out this Sunday.
She broke the news at dinnertime.
Dave thought it was a good idea. David seemed ambivalent.
Beth blew up.
I don’t know what it is about Beth. She’s a good girl and I love her, but girl’s seriously got some temper issues. Apparently she had plans this Sunday, I have no idea what but she wanted to do something else, and now that’s ruined. She told Sabby exactly what she thought of her church, her idea, the homeless, the poor, and said she wished Sabby was never born.
Beth really needs to get control of her mouth.
I’ve seen Sabby angry before. Even at me. She kind of gets calm, goes up to take a bath, then proceeds to tell you in no uncertain terms exactly what she thinks of what you said, in tones that cut.
Not this time. Sabby grabbed Beth by her ear, dragged her up to her room, tossed her inside, told her that if she comes out for any reason but to use the bathroom there will be hell to pay, and slammed the door. Then she went right to her room and started drawing a bath.
Can’t honestly say I blame Sabby. Beth was out of line.
So, here we go again. The next few days should be fun. Loads and loads of fun. I’m not getting in the middle of that, though. Guess Beth’s hair will be unbrushed tonight.
Anyway, families can’t be all sunshine and roses, I guess.
I miss Jack. When he touched me it was soooo soothing. I miss having him touch me.
