I am Frank McCourt. I was born in the USA and now live in Ireland. This is the story of my life.
Sunday
It's as if nothing changed.
We have to move into a new house because our current house reminds us to much of Eugene. On a more positive note, dad got a job which we thought would help get a bit of money around here. But, nothing has changed since he spends it all on alcohol. Because of this, Mam is so stressed that she can't take a second out of her day to relax, she is always worrying. Mam decided to buy a pigs head for Christmas and I had to carry it home. You have no idea how how embarrassed i was having to carry a stupid pig home in front of my classmates, showing how poor we are.
