Merry Christmas Eve!

Today started out as a good day. I went for my walk, and when I was gone everything went to Hell. I came back and my mom and her husband were fighting and they were yelling and screaming at each other. If you've been reading my journals for a while, you know how much I hate screaming. It makes me want to curl up into a ball and just get away from it all. My mom was upset at how much money her husband sent to his kids, but I have to think she's wrong on the issue. She has spent more money than that on me alone this Christmas. She paid for my ticket to come up here, which was $70, and given me money while I've been here, and got me some Christmas presents. I feel bad that she's spending so much money on me, and I would love to give her some more in return, but I can't. I don't have a lot of money. I just wish there was a simple solution to all of this.
The thing that got to me is that while I was gone on my walk, her husband asked her to leave and get out. It was part of the fight that they had. It's been hours, and her husband has calmed down but my mom is still a bit fidgety. Her husband had no right to try and kick her out, since it's not his house. But my mom's mother in law wants her to stay here. It was so much drama-llama that I couldn't take it anymore and just went to my room while I'm here. I had to get away from all the drama since it gets to me. There was a bunch of yelling and screaming about who was the right one and who was the wrong one. Tracy, my mom's husband, said that she was leaving him anyways, so why would it matter if she had to leave now and in a couple months.
My mom doesn't have a place to stay or a job to go to anywhere else, so it does make a difference. When she moves, she wants to have a job in the LA area where she can go and live close to family. When she does move, she wants to have everything in place for her. I don't know how she is going to get a job, since she got denied a transfer to a store in LA because her numbers weren't that great. She tries her best, but her boss doesn't give her so many jobs to go on. She found out that they weren't going to transfer her when I was in the hospital. I had to comfort her and listen to her cry when I was in the hospital. I found it funny that I was the one locked up in a mental ward comforting someone who wasn't in there. Oh well, it's my mom. I would do almost anything for her. If she needed a place to stay, I would let her stay in my house for a bit while she got stuff together. I just wouldn't want her smoking in my place. I would ask her to quit. She needs to quit, since she just had a stroke that was caused by her smoking.
Mood today is okay. I was having a good day, more or less, when I went on my walk and before everything went to hell, but when I got back to the house I was freaking out with all the yelling and screaming. My mom is going to drive me home instead of me taking the train since the train is so expensive, so I know I'm going to get good quality time with her. I just hope her mood improves by then and she gets everything worked out with Tracy. I know she has a hard time with him, but they have been together for so long they know each other and how to piss each other off. She brought up his kids, who don't like her. She doesn't like them, so it's mutual. But like I said, she has given me more money than Tracy has to his kids, so she has no right to complain. I can't tell her that, especially right now, since she's still not in a good mood.
Food today was good... I'm very close to my calorie range if not in it already. I had a bunch of rice and squash for breakfast and lunch, along with a bowl of Cheerios. Dinner was a piece of fried chicken and some Indian food. I also had a piece of that coconut vanilla pie I made the other day. It was really good, and tomorrow Joy is going to make some more pies, this time lemon meringue pies. I know tomorrow I'm going to have some good food... prime rib with a horseradish crust. I'm going to make sure to save a bunch of calories for dinner, since it's going to be a big dinner. Stress today was high, and it still is. My back is hurting from all the stress I'm under with my mom and Tracy fighting. Sleep last night was good... I got about 12 hours of sleep. I was going to get up with less sleep, but my mom was at work and Joy was sleeping. I talked to Geo today a bit when the fighting was going on to try and calm myself down. Hopefully the worst is over and I can have a merry Christmas.
