Outback

Yesterday, my sister texted me and asked if I wanted to go to Outback Steakhouse to celebrate Colton’s good grades and Gabe’s early birthday. I said yes, and honestly, it was a fun time. But then, I look at my mom’s calendar today and see there’s a birthday dinner for Gabe tonight—one I was clearly not invited to. And let’s be real, I’m pretty sure my dad is going, which is why I was conveniently left out. Shocking. Luckily (and this never happens), I actually made plans with my friend Andrea to see a comedy group tonight, so instead of sitting here fuming, I’ll be out having a good time. But honestly, I’m so sick of my dad—who I’m not even speaking to—still managing to ruin things for me. It’s time for me to take some action because I’m over this nonsense.
