Day Three No Mom:

Mom's gone to Florida for my cousin's wedding. So we're home with Dad. Uh...oh.... Let's recap the events of the day...
Woke up at 6:30 (We usually wake up at 5:30 and leave home at 6:30...)
Went to school with no money or food...
Borrowed $5 from a friend.
Ate a butterball turkey breast sandwich after school at home.
Went to lessons.
Got back home and made mac and cheese... while Dad made grilled cheese by wrapping the sandwich in a banana leaf before putting it in a pan so that the cheese would melt before the bread burns...?? Weirdest thing I've seen in a while.
As you can tell, we're enjoying some nice gourmet meals while Mom's gone...
Ugh and Dad's letting the house keeper cook soup tomorrow... and my whole family loves soup but I hate the stuff... not her soup but just any Trinidadian Provision/Chicken Soup. Apparently no one here has heard of stock either so the only way to make it taste... well yeh that's it- to make it taste is by 'melting' pumpkin in it. And then comes the worst part - ground provisions!! Yuk! Dasheen and sweet potato and regular potato and whatever else they can dig up- literally. Those things aren't that bad separately but in soup....
Oh well enough ranting for today.
I ordered four books which my Mom will be bringing back for me :)
The Giver
The Golden Compass - never saw the movie... heard the book was awesome
The Stand by Steven King
Breathless
Can't wait for Mom to return though - for various obvious reasons... on the bright side if I make it through the soup we may get some fast food. Yay!
