Being a 'mummy'

For one week I had to be the MUMMY of the house.And i really mean mummy as in everything from taking care of my siblings to taking care of the house but no cooking.It was definitely an eye opening experience to how life will be in the future.

I have had experiences before this but its usually with an adult supervision,my grandparents.So i don't really have the whole responsibility to me and me alone.This time because both my grandmothers are busy,i had to do it all by myself and not for a day or two but the whole entire week.

The thought of it scares me at first but i managed to overcome when the time came.Just lock all the doors and be careful.In the mornings,wake up early and send brother to school.When back home,it will be me alone after sister has gone to work.The entire half day will be spent cleaning the house,making sure there is water to drink,watching tv,sleeping or staring at the four walls.A little pathetic in the morning.

After that,when siblings are back,then back to the usual..chatting and joking,making sure brother does his work (being the STEPMOTHER),sending him to tuition and all that.At night,lock the doors and go to bed early.

The routine was the same the whole entire week except for Thursday,Friday and Saturday.

Thursday was nice cause at last,no more cater food.Had Japanese food with a family friend to celebrate her birthday.Besides that,because we are so used hanging out with them,conversations was FUN (after being deprived from them a few days).What did we talk about?Umm...Shh....Not telling =) Then at night,came back home,carried mattresses to the living room and enjoyed a night watching movie and sleeping late.

Friday....I was so happy because it wasn't the usual weekdays.Had breakfast with family friend,went out bowling (I didn't cause my fingernail always chip off),a little shopping and lunch at Kenny Rogers.Then went back home and not long after that....MY DANCE CLASS =) At night went out for dinner with family friend and then,movie night back home.

Saturday....A little tired from the late night.But could get up also cause there was a lot to do.Need to clean the house before parents get back and that includes gardening,washing the porch and bathing the dog.Managed to get siblings to help out so it was quite fun,bonding time.By the time we were done,it was 12pm and still haven't had breakfast.Hungry like mad but had to prepare lunch because relatives were coming.Relatives came and MUMMY life is sort of back to normal cause there are adults around.Spent the day entertaining them and bringing them out for dinner.After that,went to fetch mummy and papa.I get to become the DRIVER of the PAJERO....but...when going back....because papa will ALWAYS drive...i was demoted not only to the passenger but was kicked all the way to the BACK and because there were luggage,i cant have the seats down.Ya...i squatted all the way back home.

What a 'NICE' way to end the week.
