okay... so this first week of having the household without the parents was a little rough, but overall pretty good. i've done some cleaning and rearranging, i got the internet set up in sarah's bedroom, and i even reset the fuse that blew in the kitchen. the only thing that sucks is that sarah is almost always late for school. it's not my responsibility to wake her up and i think she tries, but my mom and dad are always the ones nagging her to get her ass moving. i think she just got used to it. oh well, she's got another 2 more weeks. hopefully, she'll get used to getting herself moving by the time mom and dad get back.
