These last couple of weeks have been stressful. My mother has had something horrible happen to her and I now am in charge of...everything. I'm not even exaggerating this...I cook, clean, heal, give advice...hell, I'm even my parent's f***ing romantic helper or...like a mom. I give them so many opportunities to get lovey-dovey but they don't take a hint...seriously!!! Not only that, I'm preparing to move into a dorm next week, getting my friend to understand I'm not cutting ties with her once I leave, and becoming the person who runs the house. I don't know how my family is going to survive without me when I leave for college because now that I look back at everything, the only thing I don't do in my house is pay the bills. Talk about a big wake up call...I guess college is a way to let my family stand on their feet without me...because if I don't let them do that...I'll be micro-managing them for the rest of my life.........................yikes
