babysitting staying with...
...a 26 year old. hmmmm.... what's up with that? is it the only child thing? why can't parents let go? they leave for a week and they figure they need to find someone to stay with their kid-who has a full-time job and pays bills of her own. why do they treat her like she's 16? well, hell, at 16, i was left to take care of my own brothers. we sometimes leave my 12 year old brother home alone now. okay, but not for an entire week. but dude, if i were left home alone for a week, i don't think my parents would ask my aunt to stay with me, causing me to have a friend of mine stay with me instead of my aunt. anyway... differences i guess.

"To try is to risk failure. But risk must be taken because the
greatest hazard of life is to risk nothing. The person who risks
nothing does nothing, has nothing, is nothing. He may avoid
suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn, feel, change,
grow, live, and love."
~unknown
"It has been my experience that folks who have no vices have very few virtues."
~ Abraham Lincoln
"live a life that others will remember years from now, NOT because it pointed to you but because of how it pointed to the One who made you."
~ Mark Hart, the Bible Geek
"we grow up learning to become self-reliant, but really we need to be God-reliant"
"we could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some have weird names, and all are different colors....but they all exist very nicely in the same box"
"never wound hearts that love u, never give them the endless pain, because wounded hearts are like roses that never bloom"
"there comes a time when we have to stop loving someone not because that person has stopped loving us but because we have found out that they'd be happier if we'd let go"
