Hi Everyone

Its been really long since I posted. I haven't had a laptop so you know how that goes.

My mom's out of the hospital so I went back home for a while, but now I'm back at my uncles. It may sound bad but I don't want to live with my mom anymore. She's so sad all the time. And we don't exactly get along.

My uncle has told me I can stay as long as my mom approves and it's what I want. I've been sharing a room with my oldest cousin and I like that better than being put with the younger kids. He's been really nice to me and like a big brother.

The strictness and discipline around here took a bit to get used to. I know what they expect now, so its my own fault if I get in trouble (sometimes we all forget, right). I haven't had my butt busted very often. My younger cousins seem to get their butts spanked a lot though. Even if they forget to say sir/ma'am. This is rural TX!

I have been working on my sk8 skills at the park here. Now that its summer I can go every day. I just have to always wear my helmet, reply to my aunt/uncles texts, and be back to help get dinner ready.

My older cousin took us all to the lake the other day. There were a bunch of other kids there swimming in boxers. It was fun.

I found a skate camp I want to go to next month. If I can find a way to raise the money I get to go. So far I've been offering to do extra odd jobs around my uncles for money. Any other ideas?

I also want to buy some new clothes. With all the moving around I've lost a lot of mine. My aunt has bought me a few things but her taste is very simple. And I already had to tell her (politely) not to buy me underwear cause she gets the wrong kind.

Sounds like you prefer to be at your uncle place. I think you should stay in contact with your mom or go visit her to see that she is fine, even that you don’t wanna live with her.

Whether you get along with her or not, she's still your mom and you only have one mom. If you prefer living with your uncle - and it sounds like you're content there - the least you can do is maintain contact with her and try to see her. I'm sure it would mean a lot to her since she's not in the best state currently. I hope she's recovering well from whatever put her in the hospital, and maybe you'll get to move back in with her in the near future :)

Hey I agree with what the others said about how the least you should do is keep in contact with your mom, youll probably regret not doing so one day if you dont
