A hard working positive rollmodel. Young kids are amazing. Let them help with the tank, And house work. You will be surprised how they will want to do a good job. Enjoy those kids. Your a good aunt.
Good morning and wow it’s so early,
Lol I try not to be boring, in my posts. I guess I learned extremely well from the 100s of professors that could put anything to sleep. I only fell asleep like three times in class, but to my defense I had pulled an all nighter studying for an exam, and when I had to write a 300 page report.
I found that nestle crunch bars lol provide great source of caffeine. I’m sure soda pop is a better source but hated feeling like a helium balloon. People wonder why I don’t drink coffee. Well lol oops! I was choose to make a pot of coffee for my organic chemistry class 430 (I think ). Anyway one never have drank coffee before, or making it well I messed it up. The professor was not a nice person but, choose me anyway after I said I didn’t know how. (His response time to learn). So he had this huge Mr. Coffee, machine and I stuck the little paper thingy in. I was told to fill that up and make a full pot, which was huge. (Commercial size). Anyway well I filled that thing to the very top with coffee grounds, I mean I put like half a whole can of Folgers coffee in this thing. Then to level it off I used a handy dandy ruler. I pushed it in and hit start. It made coffee, so I thought.
If anyone has seen the movie space balls, when dark helmet drinks his coffee and launches all over the place, well that was my instructor doing it in front of 50 students. When he asked me how many cups of coffee I used, I said lots, you told me to fill it up (saying this sheepishly). He then said I meant to the line, not too the top. So to not be waste full your going to drink the whole thing of coffee in front of the class. Lol let’s just say, I avoid coffee like it’s the Black Plague.
lol sorry morning story flashbacks, but I learned what not to do. Yes I try to be an amazing aunt, to all of them. They seem to act much better when they are just with me. I’m still getting use to my niece crawling into bed with me, super early and asking to watch cartoons. I have become an expert in legos, barbies, play doh, face painting, having tea time with fake biscuits and empty plastic cups. But I adore it all, and wouldn’t change anything. The best part is all the hugs and kisses. The worst part, I don’t get much sleep between work and finishing school, (omg a month left) but it’s worth seeing them happy. I’m a softie so when they give me huge alligator tears, it’s breaks my heart. I’m doing crash courses in how to be a instant mom. It’s really hard.
lol sorry the thread has gone in 20 directions, but he kinda caused it.
However, update the tank is fine and doing really good. If anyone is a tech genius I finally had to get a smart phone yesterday, (yet I am still using my laptop for this), trying to figure out an iPhone 8, (phone is huge. I need a u haul truck to move it around) and if anyone can figure out how to hook the new current Bluetooth control up, I’m forever greatful. (It’s not as easy as it seems)
But this thread turned from my tank emergency into my vent thread also. In short I don’t have many friends (meaning that I hang out with because of work school etc). Plus I don’t want to mix personal with work. So I’m sorry about that.
