My entire evening was spent cooking and cleaning for four people. My mom is having some issues right now, so until some different things are taken care of my brothers – ages twelve and nine – are living with me. Right now they have been with me since last Wednesday evening. While they’re good kids and I love them dearly and don’t mind having them around, there is no denying that it is a hardship to have the number of children you care for suddenly doubled.
In my case, I went from two to four. And no matter how you slice it, it is hard to juggle four kids. Especially when your household and mental state are set up to handle only two.
Our house is a three bedroom house. Obviously, one bedroom is taken for Dan and myself. We have a twin air mattress in Alyssa’s bedroom for my oldest younger brother. Alyssa is sleeping in our bed. And then there is another twin air mattress in Ryan’s bedroom for my youngest brother to sleep in. Ryan, being a boy, is fine to stay in there.
The boys are eating me out of house and home. And I am constantly tripping over someone or something.
And needless to say, I have been very, very busy.
