Good morning, Diary.

Coolidge is with me in my room. He has his head on my feet. We are not very happy today. Daddy went away early and I don’t think Mommy wanted him to. He has been mad since the smoke. Garrett and Trevor have been fighting over the radio. I don’t care about the radio and I don’t think it’s worth fighting over. Trevor got mad yesterday and hit the radio so Garrett sent him out of the room and won’t let him use it. He told me he’ll let him use it today once he cools down but I don’t think Trevor will cool down.

I feel lonely when they’re mad and I want to stay in my room but I want to make it better but I don’t know how. I’m glad Coolidge is with me. He understands.

Now it’s 9:33. Mommy came after I wrote that and talked to me. She asked how I am feeling and I told. I’m sad that everyone is mad. I miss having dinner together and Bible time. She made me feel better. We are going to see the horses before lunch and I can’t wait.
