Anyways, this is a weird thing for me, being on my own. I can leave whenever I want, I can go wherever I want and I can do what I want. I don't have to ask permission from anyone. It's very odd I tell you.
So far, Tara has been fabulous. She lets me drink her milk and doesn't mind that I'm taking up space and use her internet. She lets me use her bathroom, laundry room and her kitchen. And as much as I love Jakob and Aidan, Tara and Rich make sure I get some time to myself each day. I appreciate that. They even bought a zebra curtain for my closet and worked together to paint my light switch plate thing like a zebra. LaDawn is letting me use her futon and Kim is helping me with laundry.
I like being this close to family. I went to Will's last night, it was awesome. Kim lives two exits away on the freeway. Britt lives a few blocks away. Allison is close too. I need to go see her.
I have missed my parents since the moment they left my sight on Wednesday night. I miss having my mom check on me before she went to bed. I miss asking her what's for dinner. I miss Doug telling me to get him a soda or hand him the remote. I miss my mom telling me to vacuum or sweep or clean my room. I miss being told to brush my face and wash my teeth each night:)
I miss being told not to stay up too late and to turn off my playstation. I miss my dad asking me to watch Wipeout with him or going for a walk with my parents. I miss watching Doug look for motorcycles on the internet and going to City Market with my mom.
There are many ups and downs to being on my own but I have many people around me to make me feel better. I'm still only a few days into it, so hopefully I can get a job soon and get accustomed to things....
