So, having four people around being an only child is hard, but I'm trying to enjoy it and live it up and soak it all in....

I'm being much better and enjoying my time w/ them.......

I'm NOT bossing my sisters around, honestly, and Kelsey and I had a heart to heart and made up. Sisters fight, but b/c I'm only here for a bit, I don't want to be normal sisters and spend our days fighting...you know, our time 2gether is precious and I don't want to spend it screaming and yelling and being pissed....

I'm NOT here this time 2b mom or be an authority figure...it IS their life life and THEIR home, etc...and I KNOW that, I'm not in ANY way trying to intrude upon that, HOWEVER, that doesn't mean they can ignore me and treat me like shit while I'm here, I WON'T have it. I AM the big sister, well older and wiser anyway and they WILL show me respect! Simple as that.

I'm trying really hard to keep my mouth shut and NOT be bossy....so far, so good. They ALL say I've been really nice and kind.

I had a heart to heart w/ J&J, asking them @ when they wanted to get married and have kids...Jordan is definately me, she said she doesn't want 2 get married and she'll have kids when she's 140....YOU GO GIRL! My kinda lady! I told her just "don't tell dad!" LOL! I asked them what they wanted to be when they grow up, and what makes a good friend, sister, parent and husband, etc...they had some really wise, insightful, thoughtful answers, very impressive. Jordan really does have it 2gether, she just lives in her own little world (something I REALLY need to learn how to do, esp. around here) and keeps her mouth shut 'till spoken to or asked...then, watch out, full of piss n' vinegar and wisdom!

I also took them (J&J) over to get a soda and last night, my dad and I went for a long, long walk and had a heart to heart, real deep conversation and I really appreciated that. I think it's wonderful, he's trying and I love that.....it's really the simple things in life, and today, it's 67* and sunny, which is nice, the clouds were begining to get depressing....it's so green and wet and wonderful up here....

I REALLY miss my mom, Nellie and Hugh though.....oh well, when I get home, I miss my sisters...I'm always missin' somebody!!!!

Anyhow, I gotta run and make a list of songs that my dad is gonna burn on a CD fo rme....I'll write again asap...until then, take care and....

Many Blessings,
SL
