when you're gone

so my parents came back yesterday. you people (well, most of you) didnt know they had left, but they did. they were up in CT for a week because my grandma was sick. she's better now and they're back. i love my parents, what with them being my parents and raising me and all, and of course i missed them (i'm not really the type of person who misses people, but i suppose i did), but there were some perks to them being away.

things i miss from the last week:

*the freedom. sure, i didnt do much (someone had to babysit the two boys) but it was by choice. and when i did wanna do something i did it. without worrying about who would say what or anything.

*the totally chillaxed atmosphere of the house. there were more responsibilities, but somehow there was also less stress and tension.

*being "head of the house" and whatever i said went. there was no one of a higher rank to go against my word.

*my sister's constantly good mood... or mostly constant.

*not having to do the dishes (my sister took over that chore instead of splitting the days like we usually do).

things i dont miss from the last week:

*waking up at five every morning. that was not fun because i couldnt go back to sleep afterwards. i woke up at eight this morning, and it was heaven.

*carrying my phone with me everywhere. i'm not a big phone person and carrying it around the house in case something happened was slightly obnoxious.

*the fact that i couldnt blame anyone for messing up the oven when i just cleaned it besides myself.

i'm sure there's more for both lists, but i dont feel like thinking that hard, so let's just pretend that's it.
