Went over to sister's house to attend music concert at niece and nephew's school. Sister was running late and phoned the house asking to pick up the children. Hop over and nephew thinks we are going to my apartment. No, we have a concert to go to. Return to give niece a bath. I make her place her hand in the water to approve temperature (I dislike the It's too hot and It's too cold complaint). Squeeze in the bubble bath and nephew wants to watch niece take her bath. No. Shut the door since niece can handle undressing and playing in the tub by herself as I inform her that her mommy will come home soon. Nephew has nothing to do. Go play with a toy I instruct. We are not starting any TV shows or movies when we need to get ready for the concert soon.
Sister comes home and nephew tells her that there is no water in the bathtub and niece is not taking her bath. Sister storms in a rage calling my niece and runs into me in the living room. What are you talking about, I ask. I heard her singing and splashing, she is taking her bath. Now sister is mad at nephew for lying to her. Sister prepares dinner and scrubs niece down. She next runs the the hair blower and fixes her hair. Nephew and niece change clothes to eat dinner. Eat quickly b/c it's almost time to go.
Off to the school and nephew is first. Niece is second. Then niece doesn't want to go home, she wants to stay at school. Sorry, snacks and bed are at home. Arrive back home and I take off. Sister tries to guilt trip into visiting and phoning our Mom more often b/c she feels guitly not talking/visiting her very often. Yeah, sure, whatever, to end the conversation. Mom and I get along best when we don't speak to each other so more often will not be happening. If she needs a visit/talk, she knows where to find me. Sister even persuaded to take my laundry to Mom's place instead of her house once a month. Yeah, Mom has not invited me to do laundry at her place and I can pay for my own laundry at my place. Laundry is my excuse to visit my sister, niece, and nephew.
Once I got home I had to rush to put away clothes and get ready for bed since had an early shift the next day.
