3 weeks is a long time..

Very rarely do I ever blog about my family in here since it’s kinda personal and I don’t want the interweb to know about that kinda stuff but this time I think it’s going to be different. I was ready to sleep since I have to wake up early tomorrow when my mom called me in my cell phone (she works night shifts) and informed that she’s going to our home country. Her brother died there so she has to attend the funeral. She didnt attend her mom’s death a few years ago since we didnt have any money and I think this time it’s about time she go there. She said she’ll be gone this Friday for 3 weeks!!!!! :eek: That shocked me. I didnt think she’d be gone that long. She’s never been away from us this far (another country) let alone this long (3 weeks). I’m depressed already since she’s going to be taking away my sister who’s almost 5 years old. She invited me to come along with her but I just started this new job today and being away in 3 weeks does not look good on my part. I’ll definitely miss my sister since she makes me smile when I’m done. I love our fun times when I would purposely tickle her until she begged me to stop. The 3 weeks that they wont be here will make the house smaller.. No one will be cooking for dinner/lunch anymore. I cant cook so I guess I’ll have to start to cook simple stuff which I’ll eventually get sick over. This is so going to suck. They leave this Friday and I leave for work at 7 am so I hope I’ll have the time to say good bye and give my sister a long and lasting hug and kiss. I’ll definitely miss her tantrums and the fact that she’s now taken a liking to Sailor Moon (I got her all hooked up lol). When my mom and I discussed going back to our country, we’ve always wanted to go together… But not this time. The timing is just not right. I told her to bring my camera so she can take lots of pics sans funeral, of course. I’ll be so down tomorrow it’s ridiculous. Ah this really sucks..

    don’t worry, I’m sure you’ll be ok, although 3 weeks is a long time :S
    I would enjoy the peace and quiet for a week, then I’m not so sure…
    Good luck :)

    Don’t worry, she will be back! I’m going away, myself, for 3 months. My family will surely miss me, but I’ll be back, too.

    I’m sorry to hear about your uncle, and it’s a shame you won’t be able to go as well. I think it’s good that she’s going to spend some time there and I don’t really see what’s so shocking about 3 weeks. It makes sense that she would want to spend some time at her home country and with the family she has left. Her brother just died, that has to be a terrible loss. I know my mom would need time to get over the loss of her brother if he passed away.

    I’m sure it won’t be too bad by yourself. Take it as a fun opportunity to be in charge. Nobody to answer to :) Good luck on your new job.

    I’m sorry about your mom having to go back,and that you can’t go as well…but I’m sure you’ll be fine,hopefully just fix a few things,ravioli and small stuff maybe go out with some of your friends and have dinner at their houses once in awhile so you don’t suffer from too much loneliness.

    It’s sad your mom had to wait for another relative of hers to die to return to her home country, but I hope it goes well. Three weeks isn’t that long so long as you don’t think about it. :)

    I certainly hope they had a safe trip and that they’re sending you plenty of photos ! Where is your home country?

    You seem to have an extremely close relationship with your sister. That’s sweet. I’m sorry she’s leaving for three weeks. Don’t worry, she’ll be back before you know it! :o )

    Hey Vanessa! Regarding your comment, yeah, I closed the Korn fanlisting a while back.. among other fanlistings of mine.. I just didn’t feel like it anymore, lol. Oh and yeah, I was gonna get an HP too.. but the new one that I saw had this really thick border on the monitor part.. so I wasn’t too sure.

    Hope you feel better soon! :) And I hope it all goes well, too…

    Three weeks may sound like a long time. But if you are working a lot it should go by pretty quickly. Are you going to be home by yourself or is there anyone else living there with you? I know the food situation can seem scary. I was worried about that last summer because I had to move out on my own for the school year and I really didn’t know how to make anything. I’m happy to say that I survived and learned how to make some food I didn’t know how to make before that. This summer I have started trying out a new recipe every week so maybe I will learn even more things to make. It’s pretty exciting when something you made is actually edible haha. Good luck with everything and enjoy being on your own for a while. Some kids dream about days like that.

    I’m sorry to hear about your uncle and that you couldn’t attend his funeral with them… I hope you don’t feel too lonely for the 3 weeks. Invite friends over to your place? :)

    Well, it sounds like it’s something she really needs to do. I’m sorry that it will be tough not having her and your sister around, but I think it’s important that she go to the funeral and spend some time with her family/in her home country. Hopefully the time does not dwindle on too long and they will be back again before you know it! :)

    P.S. I am from despair, sorry this comment is a little late but I’ve been pretty busy and just got some free time to comment.
