Dear Diary,
Today was horible!When dad came home from looking for a job he was in a horrid mood.He was red in the face and said ''if I dont find a job soon I would rather die!''
Tommy looked at me in a nervouse way. I just shook my head no. He took a sigh of relief. Mother said ''dont worry the kids like that, Jack.'' Well I cant help it if I worry them i cant find work i dont have money we might as well be evicted right now!''he yelled and stomped up stairs. He reminded me of a little boy having a temper tantrum. Then I decided I had to do somthing to find dad a job. SO I grabbed my coat and went out without saying a word. So I went to the shoe shine it was closed down. Went to the supermarket not offering jobs. Finally I found a job at the book store but when I walked up to the man who worked there he said ''Hello there little girl. Would you like to buy a book?''he asked in a cheesy voice. I said ''no Im looking for a job.'' ''Well no one aint got any jobs here, so get out you little spoiled brat.'' he said. So i stomped off. When I got home I got in trouble for being out too late. So diary i am getting mad just writing this! Diary, mom is yelling to me to get to bed. Everyone in this house is mad and crazy!
