On the seventh I will be turning eighteen. I was excited, thinking that this year I would finally be able to have a wonderful birthday, but I guess that just isn't for me. I can't be really happy while I'm worrying about my mom, and I'll sit there feeling terrible about every gift I get, because they need that money a lot more than I do. Maybe instead of getting gifts on my birthday, I could give things away. I would feel much more comfortable with that.
See, a few hours ago I learned that my mom got laid off work. Since she's been with the company for six years, they are giving her six weeks more of work and one week of vacation. She's going to be using her vacation time to take me to college. My mom has never been laid off before in her life.
So this year, both my dad and my mom will have changed jobs. Assuming she'll be able to get another.
I'm scared.
