mom for a week

this past week mom and dad went on a business/vacation trip(-- i like to call it a bucation)

i was left home to take care of the ladies- Celeste(14) and Heather(9).

for the most part everything went real smooth- although i do wish the weather would have been a bit more accommodating--

a gal and i were talking at work and i mentioned how it was starting to get tricky trying to manage the housework/the girls/and real work.... she then stated... "well you've just had a taste of being a single mom" -wow- i guess i have.... i didnt think of it that way--

things really did go ok though-- mom and dad made it back ok-- and once again, i am left to being just a silly 22year old living with her family, only having to worry about work-- i kinda like it that way-- kinda---

That sounds like the best kind of week! I love not doing what you're supposed to do and letting the kiddies break the rules!
