However, when he gets up the nerve to go speak to her, Fregley, a nerdy kid that lives in Greg’s neighborhood ruins his chance. Valentine’s Day and the big dance arrive, and Greg is certain that this will be the perfect time to make his move on Holly Hills. When he springs out of the basket, he is shocked to see that the thief is his father. He falls asleep while waiting but is wakened by the sound of crinkling paper. Greg hides in some laundry in the hamper and waits. Greg knows that it is just a matter of time before the real thief comes down to steal the snacks. Meanwhile, when Greg returns home he learns that his mother has finally gone to the grocery store and restocked the snacks in the laundry room. However, Greg seizes upon the chance to make it look as if Leon has smacked him on the back of the head, and Leon gets several more days of detention.

After dinner, there are great TV programs to watch. Greg tells the reader that he is so tired from walking to and from school each day that he takes a long nap after school. She looks in horror at his report card to see that Greg is failing nearly every subject. Greg is not fast enough to get to the mailbox before his mother. She insinuates that Greg has been sneaking into the laundry room and eating them, but Greg knows that it’s most likely Rodrick. When they are all gone, they are all gone until the next grocery day. When he complains to his mother, she tells him that she has a set number of snacks to pack inside lunches. The next month is not much better as Greg’s junk food snacks have failed to make an appearance in his lunch sack for many days. Greg suspects that nothing good can come of this conclusion.

Greg’s father decides that both Greg and Rodrick are out of shape and aren’t measuring up to other kids in the neighborhood. Finally, the entire situation is resolved when Greg learns that Lenwood is being sent to a military school.

Greg shares that his father has called the police department fifty times over the last few years to report Lenwood. The reader meets Lenwood Heath, the neighborhood vandal, whom Greg’s father detests. Despite his best efforts, however, Rodrick, his older brother, refuses to make any changes (much to Greg’s disappointment). Since he can’t think of anything that he needs to resolve for himself, he determines to help everyone else stick to or construct their own resolutions. Since it is New Years, Greg figures that people should be creating resolutions lists. The diary opens with an entry dated for January.
