I hate it and love it at the same time of knowing when a long week is ahead of me. Hate it for knowing what I have to do to get through it, but happy to know I can mentally prep myself for it.

It's nothing I don't regret in doing, it's something I have to do for the good of the family and everypony's schedules.

You see...

My little sister, (16yrs) has a 4month baby, and a dead beat husband who doesn't really help in raising their son. Since she's technically a single mother, she has to work since she's not really going to school anymore. Coodles for her doing what's right for herself and her son, unfortunetly...who's gonna watch him? Us avaliable family members of course!

That's what my large family does, we help each other.

Sure my mother would be better at babysitting then I am, she knows what to do when all else seems to fail in getting a baby to stop crying. I just know the basics of diaper changing, feedings, baths and clothes...and well the fact he's teething...so that makes it a bit more of a challenge. But here comes the part where I say "long week for me."

My nana's house is being sold or is planning to be sold, since Papa died last year and we can't afford to keep paying the bills for a house she's no longer staying at.

She's living with us.

Anyways my mother, step father and nana are going up to Houston to get things sorted... and we don't know my lil'sis work scheduel... That being said I'll have to watch the baby tomrrow from 11 to 4, and more likely the same on Wednesday.

I don't doubt my abilities in handling the baby at all, I've had child training when I used to work at a daycare, I know infant CPR, I know the basics and I can make a kid laugh now and then. But when you have an infant who's teething, still young, and missing his mommy...let's just say this won't be an easy job.

She's lucky really...

Well my folks are lucky too..

It's ironic how they've all pressured me to re-establish another job after I lost my previous one being sold while I was over seas dealing with immigration proceedings, if I were to have one RIGHT NOW, they'd be screwed on schedueles and times all because they need a babysitter. It's lucky for them that's for sure...

I guess that comes off as a mock...but it's still a fact.

I'm just happy that out of the two of us, my husband has a job established. Hopefully he'll be starting this week at his new job as a cashier at a family owned fastfood joint. I know things will settle down after Wednesday, and before long my birthday will be underway. So I can do with a bit of work and sitting hehe. Let's earn that birthday party shall we ponies!?
