the day that sucked

[maderr]

woke up an hour later than I intended, to be greeted first thing by the site of my dad's heavily overdrawn account - seeing as 1)I'm largely responsible for it's being that way and 2)I still need the $800.00 he promised me for Europe I'm really upset by this

Apparently he and my mom had a fight this morning, so that's making the atmosphere very very happy.

The argument concerned our 15 cats, most of which we were going to get rid of today. But instead of keeping four we're now just keeping two which I know will upset my mom. She was going to keep this all black one we had. Half the cats are gone now and the ones left are crying and I have to sit here and listen to it. It's horrible - we're supposed to be keeping Lord Black Cat and Fierce Creature. Why are they going?

On top of that I have to work tonight. Usually I work day shift Friday, but I've got to work Hell Night. And it's cold and raining. Fucking Fantastic.

And the icing on the cake? We're out of coffee.

It's not even eleven yet. Excuse me while I go alternate b/t crying and breaking shit.

Update: All the cats are gone except LBC (who we kept after all) and my cat - Mister Grey. My mom is in tears and there's very little happy around this house. We don't even have our damned xmas tree up, and the christmas music is just depressing me. I really wish I wasn't so useless around here - I can't help but feel I only make things worse somehow. I don't know why I think, I just do.

>< That really sucks. My mother's pulled that on me twice before, but never on such a large scale. She gave away two of my favorite dogs, Cleo when I was about ten and Rocky when I was about... twelve or thirteen. Losing pets in any way, really, is just never fun. I hope things in your house settle down soon =/

it sucks majorly - that's horrible, she just got rid of them?

the little kitten keeps crying and following me around, I feel so bad.

Cleo I had no idea she was giving away until she had been gone for a few days and I mentionned one day that I hadn't seen Cleo around lately. Rocky I knew she was going to give away, although I had hoped she would give away Skipper instead, and when he was given away, I had no chance to say bye =/ Although, I've done worse to her, though not intentionally. I did accidentally kill her favorite dog... >< Long story. Actually, the history of my family and pets is a very long and sordid tale.

I hope the kitten adjusts soon. The way kittens cry is quite jarring and emotional. Heartbreaking is the word. Puppies too. Maybe it just needs a lot of attention for a bit? I dunno. I'm not too good with cats.

don't worry, my family has a history just as black. I killed a kitten once, I think I'm still scared by that.

It's definitely something that haunts you forever, at least somewhere in the far corner of your mind >
