On new years eve my sister and her bf attended a party that got out of hand, the police showed up and hauled her bf away for fighting and a missed court date for a DUI. She arrived at my house in the morning with a hang over and paniced about her bf being in jail and having no money for a babysitter. Personally, i thought it was for the best and tried not to smile at the thought of him finally getting what he deserves. But my sister was very distressed, she kept throwing up, couldnt focus on anything, and was almost crying; not too mention her appearance just plain looked horrible. I sighed and changed my niece and nephews diapers while she finished throwing up. When she came out i told her i would babysit the kids for her, since ive had no work recently. She told me she didnt even have gas to bring me the kids, i live in Aurora and she lives bout and hour away in Denver. I told her sarcasticly that it would be fun to have a slumber party and a movie night, which she thought was the greatest idea in the world. Before i knew it she'd draged me into her car chattering excitedly about how fun it would be to spend time together since we having hung out in about 4 yrs.
She felt better soon as i got in the car, tho she was still very distracted about her bf, she kept missing exits and taking wrong turns. She took me to walgreens so i could have digital pics processed, because i thought it would be fun to try to scrapbook with her or something. I have albums waiting to be filled with pics of us and sent to family in mexico, texas and here in colorado. And i rented movies from that redbox-thing that you find at McDonalds, trying my best to find stuff to cheer her up.
We went to pay for her insurance and found a man sleeping in the snow in the alley. I felt bad and so i went to a McDs and bout a cofe and a cheeseburger for him, but wen we went back her was gone. We drove up and down the alley 6 times, but we couldnt find him. So we decided to give the stuff to another homeless person, but we couldnt find any. we figured it was because it was getting late and it looked like it was going to snow, so they must have gone to take shelter somewere. So after a while i gave the food to my sister and my nephew, and i kept the cafe for myself.
Days passed and she was less distressed but had taken up obsessivly calling the jail to see if her bf had recieved the money she placed in there for him to call her. Meanwhile, i had been caring for the kids; changing diapers, entertaining them, feeding them, changing them (never bathed them tho, i didnt want them to get sick, so i waited for her to do that ). I bought her some food, since her fridge was empty and i didnt want my niece and nephew or sister to starve. (My sis was surprised that my nephew ate so willingly wen i feed him, since he usually threw a fit wen she would try and feed em, also she was surprised that he listened to me, but didnt fear me like he did most other adult guys. I just shruged, i didnt know she had those problems with him, he behaved realy well with me.) Later, I also noticed the pile of dirty laundry behind the door. I had her take her laundry to my aptmnt, that she could use my washer and i would pay for the dryer at the laundry mats since i didnt have one. Soon as we got to my apt she crashed on the sofa, so i washed the clothes and watched the kids while she rested. Shed been really tired from all the stress.When she woke up we went to dry the clothes and i refilled her gas tank for the 2nd time. More days passed and i would accompany her to run errands, and i would find her wallet or keys or just about everything she'd foget.
The yesturday before she went to her bfs court she asked me if i missed being home, and i said yes and no. Yes because i like being around my own things, and no because my roomates parents have been staying with us, and driving me crazy. At least that made her laugh, even if i was being serious.
she came back about 3 hours later nearly in tears, saying that her bf had to pay almost $300 by the end of the day or he'd be in jail for about 6 months. She's tried calling everyone to ask for money, but no one would help her. So i gave in, feeling sorry for her, and gave her the money i was saving to go to the dentist. She hugged me happily calling me a life saver and a softy, and i waved her away pretending to be annoyed.I could tell she felt bad about taking my money tho, so as she was getting ready to leave i stoped her. I pointed at her warningly and said as i glared, "Dont ever tell anyone that im nice to children! If anyone asks say i scream at them, i bully them and spank them for no reason!" She nodded and we smirked at each other, then she was off to get her bf and bring him home. They arrived at 3 a.m. and i got home at 4a.m. Dismissed my roomates comment about me smelling like baby, and crashed in my bed thankful for a full nights rest after 7 days and 6 nights of none stop caring for not only my sisters kids, but for her and for her bf.
*In case youre wondering about my comment to my sis about telling ppl that im mean to kids; i always tell family and friends that i hate children, and that im glad i dont have any of my own. Mostly because they always try and force me to watch their kids without consideration of my schedule, or make fun of me saying wat a great daddy i would be and crap like that. Plus i really dont care for many children, if possible i would rather not have anything to do with them at all, i find children to be a bit creepy to be honest, especially wen they like me for no obvious reason. Its just plain weird.
