is it a vacation??

Aug 16, 2005 22:56

so now i'm in SD right w/family and you think i would be enjoying myself relaxing and whatnot...
but honestly right now i cant decide if it is or not...
i've been studying/reading for the past 2 days on and off since i already have so many reading assignments and on top of that i've been babysitting my cousins on and off with my sister cassie...
yes the main reason why i came out here was to spend time w/my grandmother, and i understand that she cant do as much as she used to be able to,therefore we dont go out as much...
but why do we have to sit around the house all day and entertain the kids while my dad gets to go out with my uncle...is that fair?
fine examples~ today cass got up early to watch the kids and then later that afternoon watched them again w/me because grandma, dad, AND my uncle were outside playing cribbage...another example was tonight my uncle asked me to watch the kids for about 2 hours tomorrow am so my dad and him can go golfing...
i feel like i'm being handicapped by my cousins...no doubt i love them to death, but a day or 2 without them would be nice...

right now i just feel like i'm being taken for granted, but i'm afraid to say anything b/c they have provided me tickets and a place to stay...
i will have to speak up tho if they try to pull this on us again...i'm kinda gettin sick of it, esp when its my ONLY week off where i dont have work and its the week before school starts:(

it may sound selfish, but they're not my kids or my responsibility and if i would want that kind of responsibility, then i wouldve gotten knocked up a long time ago...
i'm sorry i have to vent somehow, esp when my phone doesnt get any service out here.:(
on a positive note, i did find bunny a new home and i at least got to do a lil shopping and get out of the house to borders for a while these past 2 days...
blah bedtime so i can wake up at 6 to go for a jog and be back in time to watch the kiddies...
