This past couple weeks my sister has been in the hospital with a bowel obstruction. Scar tissue from a previous surgery had left adhesions along her small intestine. Obviously, this problem kept her in the hospital for awhile and my mom stayed with her there. So it has just been me, my brother, and my dad here at home. My dad, who is a great guy, doesn't know how to cook or clean well so I've spent these past weeks trying to keep this place together. It has been pretty overwhelming, but I've learned a lot from it. I learned how to do laundry(which I never had to learn to do because my mom always did it). I learned responsibilty(taking care of my moody little brother is a big responsibilty, trust me). I learned to not take a break and just work all day (man, I'm tired). Sure, this probably doesn't sound like a big accomplishment to you, but it was to me. My sister and my mom are either coming home tonight or tomorrow, so I don't have to do this much longer, but keeping a house together was a good thing to learn. I just wish my dad knew how to cook, because that is one thing I haven't learned. And I'm kind of getting sick of chicken nuggets and hot dogs. Give me a steak, please! And some vegetables, or something that hasn't been deep fried in hydrogenated oils. I feel like a ball of lard! Well, that's all I got to say. Pray for my sis. Ciao!
