Waiting

Well I am waiting for the power to go out around here to say the least.  There is a high wind warning already today.  So the candles are already out and waiting on the lighting around here.  It is some heat and light at least with what I have out.  With that said at least I can still cook around here with the gas oven and range the funny part about that is that I will use the one lighter around here so the matches do not bother the birds also.  My Niece has not figured all of this out as of yet in what to do in the power outage around the place at all.  Alot of what has gone on with the girl she has not been taught at all since people like Nancy Hammond figured that the girl was not the worthy type to learn in what to do.  So now since I have been teaching the girl in what to do and when to do it around my place there is alot of unhappy people about in what I am doing here.  I have known this for the past 4 months here and tough cookies on the ones who do not like in what I do.  This is part of what the problem is around the country with today's youth is that parents could care less in what the children do and if they do not learn alot of things then it is on the child.  When it is on the parents who raise the child.  Some of us try to pick up the slack in what has happened with my Niece and it has been along 4 months around here let me tell you.  The first 3 weeks when my Niece moved in she wanted to watch T.V. until 3 am.  I stopped that after 3 weeks because of the power bill over 100 dollars because of it.  So I had to make a call to the cable company to make sure in how to set up the box so it kicked off at the time I wanted it to.  The first gal said you can't do that with the kids today and hung up on us.  Well my Husband called back since I did not have a voice to talk at the time and explained in what we were trying to do and the girl walked him thru it and we got it set up to kick off at between 10 and 11 pm around here.  That was the beginning of the set up to get the girl on a normal schedule again.  There was no reason of why some should sleep all day and be up all night around here at all unless we work the graveyard shift.  I think that has got to my Niece more of not being able to do things at night around here.  I do have some rules in place that the girl understands also for the household.  Alot of her friends do not understand in why I have put my foot down at all for how I run my place.  I have noticed with alot of my Niece's friends they want to run everyone else's household and say oh well this is what ya get since it is the me generation also now days.  I have put my foot down in alot of ways and told most of the girls friends this is how I run things and tough cookies if you do not like it then do not come over here because, I rule my household unlike some parents in today's world who are scared of the children.  Every so often my Niece will call me Mom around here since I have picked up the slack and have taught her alot of things that she missed or was never taught in the first place.  Also she tels me that I am a lucky girl at least once a week that I do teach her things and still Love her either way.  I do call my Niece Mini Me at times because she reminds me of me at her age for the most part, a spit fire and will make it.  With some things the girl understands in why I do somethings around here and when trouble breaks out I nip it right then and there.  I also understand the girl more now a days and ask if I am feeling the right way on some things that have went on.  That is why I just don't get in what people like Nancy Hammond have done in the past 14 years to not only myself because I can handle it to where the 4 children couldn't at all.  Changing the rules every 5 minutes is not good on a child and I even know this.  The rules that I have in place have not changed that much over the years except to be age appropriate for the household.  Maybe this is why I am on the dog list with Nancy Hammond also around my own household.  There are some things that I will not do at all no matter in how mad I get at someone.  When Nancy Hammond gave a 20 min lecture on respect the called my Niece what she did in my household that is when I threw Nancy out of here.  Then Nancy Hammond figuring after 2 months of being gone I would let her into the place after that when myself and my Niece caught Nancy lieing on top of it all there is no way now that I will let Nancy into my place at all at this point in time if ever.  I always knew that Nancy Hammond cut me down to the ankles either way since I am supposedly always wrong in what and how I do things to run my place.  I will not make a 19 year old stay inside all of the time at all and then embarrass her on top of it all.  I let my Niece go every so often around here and I do not mind it since I do have phone numbors of where she is suppose to be at.  I guess that is what some do not agree with in how I do things for the place.  Oh well at least some know that I have came from a huge city compaired to where I am at now and that I know what is out there in the real world.  Now my Niece after yesterday understands more of what I have been telling here and the why's also of what I have been saying.  And sometimes I do go on mini trips with the girl and it gives us a chance to talk also.  The best one was with the local Dairy Queen last week around here.  So anyway now I know why I got out of the computer end of things as of today.
