What is a holiday without an adventure?
First of all it is relaxing and second of all it is nonexistent in my families vacation files.
This holiday surpasses a number of the past 'adventure' we were able to experience. For the past 3-ish days my dad has been in and out of the hospital until he (finally) had surgery this afternoon.
The reason for this is most likely due to a torn retina or something along these lines. The cause of this is unknown but, as far as the doctors are able to tell, have nothing to do with his other medical difficulties he has been presented with these past few months. Thank God!
However, many of our travels and future plans have been put on hold. After his surgery he is not supposed to fly for at least 1 month. So, there goes mom and dads cruise they had planned on taking to celebrate their 25th anniversary (which will take place on 06/6/06 [so all these sudden difficulties should not of been a big surprise, jk]). As for the possibilities in which mom and dad are able to take in order to return home- they are limited.
Until he is released from the hospital and an alternative route to flying can be planned, I will be playing mom to my 3 younger siblings- Hurray! Though i feel this is a position I have been covering since the age of 7.
-could I set a record for the youngest mother ever? or how bout most immature?!-

I don't know...I probably came pretty close when I had to play mom to my 3 younger siblings. It was just after my summer on CREW where I was in Dryden. My grandma had a stroke and my parents had to go down and help out, leaving me with my siblings....gah...it was nuts! (Especially when the older of the 3 takes the stance, "you're not my mom, I don't have to listen to you!")
I hate when they pull the "you're not my mom" . . . it drives me crazy! And it sure doesn't help with the situation!
