mom's still over at my lil sister's new apartment, cleaning and decorating, etc. she stood the nite over there and will again tonite. doesnt bother me and my lil bro much. but could see it effected dad in a way. i knew he missed her and felt guilty for what he said to her the other day. of course i couldnt help point that out to him in a teasing manner. though he denied it. mom needed time away from us anyway. my bro did very well with her gone, even being a bit more responsible than he usually is. he did all the chores, made breakfast the other day for us, and took the dog out 3 times. he helped me with dinner today. we decided the nite before to make tacos. i didnt feel like it but i was sitting on my ass the entire night reading fanfics on House that i had to do something. my body was restless though i only slept for 6 hrs. (could be the reason i've not slept well for past 2 weeks). i waited another hour, reading yet another House fic before dragging myself to the kitchen. i made rice with celery, carrot, onion, garlic, tumeric, and ginger. yum. not bad for my first attempt. usually mom made it. probably should've thrown in some toasted cashews.... well, next time. i actually never made tacos before...the shells anyway. but did pretty good for my first round. i had my brother do the rest, while i suddenly had an urge to make some taquitos for work tomorrow. everytime mom's not here, there's less tension...well, anytime either of the parentals is gone is less tense, more quiet. more so when both are gone. no one at the reins of housewife, i take up the role and feel needed. feel like i can actually help around the joint. doing odd chores at my own pace instead of when mom wants it done, feels great. joking and horseplaying with my brother brought me out of my gruff mood for a bit. he doesnt know it but he gets me through the days. i dont know what i'll do if he decides to leave one day. parentals will drive me nuts especially since they don't get along too well occasionally. at least, i did a bit of a workout today as well. some shadow boxing and kicks. walked around the apartment complex once with my brother cuz my legs wanted to do something instead of sitting. besides feeling claustrophobic in the apartment. just finished watching The Great Mouse Detective (background noise) while reading yet another of hilandmum's awesome House fics (Don't Stop Believing) which i need to comment about, keep forgetting. it was wonderful being in that world for a while. i work tomorrow so my brother's gonna be in charge entirely. he wants to make potatoes for dinner. again. no suprise. he usually makes plain white rice or spicy potatoes drenched in oil. might as well just make fries. *snicker*. i suggested he make spaghetti and the sauce. its not that hard to follow a recipe but he hates having to do a lot of prep. very lazy teenager. anything consuming his time is a no-no. *sigh* oh well, i'll see what my dinner is tomorrow when i return from work.
