Today I had to go to the pre-surgury physical. The older brother had made plans with a friend to go to the mall, look at games and stuff. That would leave the three youngest home alone. My gut instinct insistantly whispered in my inner ear "Do you want to leave some of the most immaturest of the family...home...alone...together...with so many possabilities for chaos and disaster upon arrival home? Do you want the guilt of possible deaths over a piece of bread or the house aflame hanging over your head for the rest of your life? WOooo..WOooo...."
So I proposed the idea upon my three youngest siblings about a day out of the house. My two sisters' cries of glee drowned out the moaning and groaning of the youngest brother, who didn't want the bother of dressing up for outside, and actually moving.
A little bit of "persuasion" on my part got him half decently dressed and in the car.
Off we went, to my appointment. After a long time passing, things got done, and I took them to McDonalds. I felt really really bad, because I had so little money, and they were really hungry, so I stretched what I could portion out as far as I could for them. I think they were full enough, with the sandwich and ton of fries and the huge chocolate milkshake ordered up for 'em. =P
Eh, I am glad I wasnt that hungry. *nods*
I took them over to the bookstore, where they looked around while I got my long anticipated Fruits Basket #3. I wanted to get it before they sold my copy =\
Then.....I took them to see Shrek 2. Then they wanted candy. u_u
So they got some. But not that much. lol, can't spoil them completely. I still live with them =X *cough*
After that, took them to the library. I had to return some things, pay some overdue on the stuff because my mom wouldn't take me ( -.- )
Spent lots of time there. I was pleasently suprised how much they liked it. I mean, I like going there, but, as you guys know, I am not of the average kid/teen <.<;;;
I went off and mailed checks to the state and to the college. My mom is making me immediatly sign all of my pay checks over to her, because she paid $600 for me to get my car back. I honestly dont know how I am going to get gas money out of this deal, she plans on doing it untill she is fully completely satisfiededly paid back.
When I was driving home, the two in the back fell asleep, while my sister raved back to me about how great the day was. I was thinking about how the baby sister is 10, and how her life is entirely different than mine was at that age. And I am really glad of that.
I feel like the parent all the time. Not quite sure why. Probably because I am always doing things that my mom should be doing. Taking them places, listening to problems, giving advice, loaning money that I refuse to let them pay back to me, just....stuff. I dunno. I feel so old and tired, for being so "young".
lol, because I feel like this, shouldn't a good side effect, like wisdom or better common sense, be apparent in me yet? =P
*Waits for wisdome and common sense to grace her presence*
.....*Is still waiting*
A nurse called me this morning, to explain to me how things are going to go tommorow. I cant eat or drink from midnight on, so I dont get sick from the anesthetic.
She told me the procedure would take four hours! =O
Thats not including the stuff that has to get done before hand <.<
Wish me luck.....
