Dear Diary,

It’s been a long time huh. Well we are living in crappy old Mississippi now. I hate it here so much I don’t know what to do. My mom is trying to get her disability and they are giving her a hard time. This is the second time she has tried to get it but she IS going to get it this time. I came home from school early today because I got sick at school. I have an ulcer now. I have a sinus infection too. I miss Emily a real lot. I will be glad when we move back to Denham Springs. I can’t stand it down here anymore. The kids on the bus won’t even let me sit down & I have to sit on the floor.

Bye,
Carly
