• 11am- lie in bed and think about life
• 12pm- open laptop and start searching through blogs
• 2pm- make lunch
• 4pm- mum isnt home…
• 5pm- start making dinner hoping mums home soon
• 7pm- watch a comfort film (todays choice is edward scissorhands)
• 9pm- mums home, she had a double shift
• 11pm- go to sleep (try) 
• 1am- open laptop again
• 3am- sleep.

That was yesterdays schedule of events. i wake up 8 am every morning to a couple of soggy pieces of toast mum has clumsily made before rushing out of the door at 7:30 am. shes getting ever so thin as she has barely any time to eat i think she makes me my toast and cold cup of tea before even thinking about herself. i try to make dinner for us but shes never home in time, always having to cover double shifts. i dont know why she still works honestly its not like were poor or anything- yes we live in a 2 bedroom flat but there is only 2 of us so what is the use of more bedrooms then what is needed? anyway we have money so she doesn’t need to cover double shifts for it but i guess its always good to have more money then not… your probably wondering why i dont go to school like most normal 14 year olds, well that’s because theres no school in this area- the roof caved in last year and they haven’t been able to get the funding to fix it. that was the only school around… i do have friends of course!! i have molly, sienna, eli and lexi. and i have my cousins i call occasionally harry and nick. its very boring being at home all the time and not being able to leave but people can visit me!! my friends my family you know people important to me! the reason i cant leave is because of my illness. it causes me too pass out at any time so i must be careful that’s another reason i cant find another school and if mum keeps working double shifts she will be working too much so we wont get money thats supposed to pay for my treatment.
