Oy! A gigantuan thank you to dearest Sarah (Anatema) for helping me with my O layout. The intro picture startled me at first, but I think it's a kinda neat picture *nods*
Wednesday:
The reason why I didnt take kids to the basketball game is my uncle suddenly remembered I have a donut tire, and he didnt want me to drive a carfull of kids around with it, as he thought it very dangerouse. Heh heh, but it's perfectly fine for me to run around with it, I guess. =P
Thursday:
5:30pm, I was so dead tired. I sat on my bed to take off my shoes, when my uncle asked me if I was babysitting tonight. I was really confused, till Summer (The eldest girl of the kids I babysat before) came into the room and asked if I could babysit tonight while her mom went last minute shopping again. I went, because I needed money.
I felt really tired untill I felt a persistent light weight on the back of my shoulder. T'was right in the place where I had to pull my shirt a bit to see properly, really hard to reach.
And what I saw was a roach. A freaking huge one >:O
Squealled when I couldnt shake it off; had my arm out of my shirt sleeve and half off afore I could finally get it off.
The reason it was determined to stay with me was because one of the twins had stuck her mostly eaten lollipop on my shirt for safekeeping, when I picked her up to put her to bed. u.u
Yeah. Cant feel very sleepy after that kind of excitement <.<;;
Friday:
My aunt and uncle went off to Pennsylvania to bring back my siblings to visit NJ during the week they have off. I was left to cook supper, take care of one of my sick cousin, and drive to pick up the rest of the kids who attend religouse school. Around 1:30 I had to quickly run to the store to get important things for supper (no one had bothered to go shopping in a while >.< ). I wanted to hurry, as the kids get out of school around 2:30, and I wanted to finish supper afore I went to get them. *nods*
Came back out a few minutes later to a car that refused to start. *slightly panicks*
Walked a total of 14 blocks to the nearest gas station, figuring my wonderful putting off of gas due to lack of funds was the problem.
It wasnt. *falls over*
A guy with his kids in the parking lot told me the reason my car wouldnt start was because the starter wouldnt flip the engine or something. He told me turning the key in the egnition would eventually start it.
After an hour of that, I called my friend's brother, who knew a bit about cars. I told him about the clicky noise, he told me what was wrong, and that I needed jumper cables.
I have to thank him properly later, as he was right on about the problem with the car. *grins*
I finally relented, and called my uncle, as it was already 3:30, and I couldnt find anyone with jumper cables. He sent one of his construction workers to help me, and I finally got out of there at 4. *wipes sweatdrop*
Hopefully it was just a one time thing, and not a drastic enough thing that I need a new battery. That would be...a not good thing. *laughs*
Oy. Anyways, one of the teachers had dropped off the kids at the house, as I had called their school and explained stuffs. So I didnt have to worry about that anymore. Finished up supper, cleaned up, all that good stuff.
And then my siblings came. The youngest brother is two or three inches taller than me, and he is only 13. He has a deep voice and wide shoulders since the last I saw him; he would have almost been unrecognizable had I not lived with him all of his life. The youngest sister is one inch shorter than me, and she is only 11. *tears up*
(Aye, I am only 5'5. I feel...so small. u.u)
My baby siblings are growing up. Only physically, I found out, when the two youngest siblings wouldnt stop teasing me. Actually, they still wont stop, but whatever.
I am just really happy I get to see them again. =)
Saturday, most everyone went clothes shopping. Snowed 3 inches that night. =O
Sunday, my cousine went outside, took my youngest brother with him. I got a funny feeling, and I go out to check on them, and I find the 14-15 year old kid from the projects who always picks fights and takes my cousins' bikes making fun of my brother. When my brother told him to shut up, the kid wanted to fight him. Went over before anything could really happen, told the kid to lay off, he threatened to jump me someday, said it was easy cause he always sees me by myself, blah blah blah.
Got both boys inside the house to find my brother had a bruise on his cheek. =\
Geez, cant anyone stay out of trouble? *shakes head*
Yeah, like I am one to talk, but at least I stay out of that kind of trouble. u.u
As a theoretical question, I asked the oldest brother, if a boy hit me, would he hit them back? The question made him look up from one of my books he was reading.
Brother: Hmm. Depends.
Aleia: On what?
B: Am I related to him?
Aleia: No.
B: Where you picking on him? >:|
Aleia: No!
B: Well, if I am there, I might do something. I wont make the effort to walk to his house and knock on his door or anything.
*laughs* My brother, my hero. *grins and rolls eyes*
Mhm, tommorow, I plan on taking my siblings to the MET, then to the Rockafeller Center, then to my aunt's appartment in Manhattan, where we are going to stay for the night.
And I wanna take them to the Liberty Science Center afore they have to go! *jumps around*
They have to leave sometime this weekend, so I am trying to spend as much time with them as I can. I'm kinda forcing myself to, because I feel so jumbled up inside, and it makes me want to be by myself, away from people. And with the two youngest making huge efforts to tease me (I woke up Saturday morning because my youngest brother suddenly dashed into the girls room, threw a huge snowball under my blanket, and threw himself out of the room, to a chorus of mad giggling from the youngest sister and the oldest cousine. Parters in crime T_T)
So yeah. I feel really guilty about the way I want to go antisocial, and my sucky timing and stuff. I try to do the best I can, and that's all I can do, you know? I try to give them as much attention as I can, but sometimes everything is too overwhelming and I need to escape.
I heard on the radio about how a guy threw himself in front of a NJ Transit train. They went from there to how a total of now four 14 year old kids in Scranton, PA commited suicide, all within a two week time period.
There is a lot for Aleia to think about.
Maybe look forward to a ramble on another day.
