It wasn&#8217;t easy leaving them (especially my 4 yr old nephew, Toby &#8211; the love of my life), but I did it.  He kept asking me why I was going and where I was going to; I don&#8217;t know why we must go thru this every time I have 2 leave.  It&#8217;s like he has selective amnesia.  He remembers every time I promise 2 buy him stuff like cookies, pizza &#038; chips, but he neva remembers when I say &#8220;Toby, I don&#8217;t live here&#8230; I have my own house.  I have 2 go home but I will be back.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Anyways,  yesterday, my mom took Toby, the other kids, and their parents (my uncle and his wife) on a cruise and decided 2 cruise them 2 our house.  I just knew I would not like the state of the house when I got back, and boy, was I right.<\/p>\n<p>There was popcorn all over the floor in the living.  :ANGRY:  There was pop corn on the couch  :ANGRIER:  My lil toys (buncha lil stuff I faithfully collect) were on the floor  :AAARRRRGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!:  I don&#8217;t play games wit my stuff.  They may be family but it&#8217;s in their best interest 2 back off my stuff!<\/p>\n<p>My mom thought it was cute and funny how they wit my stuff.  Wat is wrong wit my mother sef?  Doesn&#8217;t she know how anal I am when it gets 2 moving my stuff around?  The way this woman was talking, I was starting 2 think she was switched by her not-so-evil clone.  I mean, where was all this comin from?  Don&#8217;t these children know I&#8217;m older than all three of them put 2gether?  See me see wahala o.<\/p>\n<p>So b4 I even got a chance 2 do anything else, I had 2 first vacuum the whole house.  Actually, first, I packed up my toys (or wateva I would call those things) and took them back 2 my room, then I vacuumed&#8230;. face swollen up the whole time.  I can deal wit the pop on the floor and on the couch (I have no problem cleaning up; I always do anyway), but I have a problem with ANYONE (regardless of age) touching my stuff and not puttin it back.  I&#8217;d prefer that my stuff not b touched, but if it must, please put it back the way u found it.  I don&#8217;t even like the comforter\/quilt\/blanket on my bed 2 be touched.  Yes, that&#8217;s how anal  I am&#8230;and much more sef.<\/p>\n<p>Well, everything has been taken care of sha.  I really don&#8217;t get angry easily and when I do get angry, I am not capable of staying angry 4 long.  Of wat use is it anyway? <\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s it 4 2nite.  We&#8217;ll continue 2morrow, ok?<\/p>\n<p>:KISSES:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Finally, I&#8217;ve brought my butt back home.
