Give Me Five Feet!

I love my little cousins so much, but boy do they invade my space. It’s like I have three shadows trailing me all day long. It was cute at first, but now it’s gotten kind of old. When I’m around them, I can almost imagine what it’s like for celebrities who have to constantly deal with paparazzi. They watch me when I go to the bathroom, call me when I’m in my room, and sit under me when I am in their presence. I’m starting to think that I might need a bodyguard. Or maybe discount crowd control ropes like they have at concerts and stuff. Those are probably great for at least five feet of space. Whatever it takes to get those precious little munchkins away from me for at least 15 minutes!

Rough Housing

My little cousins have been coming to my house everyday for almost two weeks, and boy are they rough. I’ve never seen such active kids. I’m a firm believer in letting kids be kids, so I allow them to play and be active instead of just forcing them to sit still all day, but my house does suffer because of that. If they’re not messing up the pillows on the couch and scuffing up the living room floor with their sneaker, they’re wasting juice on the kitchen table and floor. Grrr. It’s definitely a bit much sometimes. Having them over everyday will have you wishing you had garage flooring inside your home. Since garage floors can handle the wear and tear caused by cars and trucks, those are the only floors they probably wouldn’t damage. Maybe.

Just Adapt

My mother is a very strange woman. She has the most exaggerated extremes when it comes to her body temperature. During the day she is a total hotbox who can never seem to get cool, but when the night time rolls around she acts as if she’s living in the North Pole. It’s so weird. I’m the opposite of her. I’m like a little animal that just adapts to whatever temperature it is. That’s probably why I get sick a lot. When my mother is cold,  she turns the heat up kind of high which makes it extremely hot in my bedroom. That’s when I usually crack my window. By the time I fall asleep she gets hot so she turns the heat back down. Meanwhile the house cools off but since my window is open as well I end up sick because it’s so cold. It never fails!

I think my mom should just dress in light, thin clothing during the day when she’s hot, and get a CozyWinters.com electric mattress pad for her bed at night when she’s cold. That way she will be comfortable and happy and I won’t end up with pneumonia!
