What are you using to wash the walls with? That tobacco stuff can be extremely nasty.
For the moment, just heavy duty soap. Mostly I just want to get enough crap off the walls and ceilings that I'm not afraid to touch things.
At the moment we are cleaing up rooms that we are going to be using temporarily until we get the top floor fixed up enough to move in completely.
Next step: Scrubbing out the room where we are going to be storing all our stuff. Then we start on the bathroom and the kitchen. :-p
Do you feel at all like you have to be a motherly good influence? Or do you get to be more like an aunt that spoils the kid?
You are talking to a woman who bought her nephew fake ID for his 15th birthday so he could get into a v_twins gig. I wouldn't know how to be a good influence even if I tried.
caspervonb refered to me a couple of times as "your mom" when he was talking to her, and I found that kind of... jarring. Not that I reject the term or anything, but I honestly don't feel like I'm entitled to claim the name "mother". I wasn't there when she was growing up. She had a very good mother, and I am extrememly thankful and grateful for that.
I'm not entirely sure what my role will turn out to be. Certainly I want to be a supportive person in her life. She's already experienced a lot of what it's like to be the Weird One and The Outsider -- I think it's a really cool thing that I can introduce her to other people have had to go through much the same experience.
I think this is something that will settle out over time. I figure the best way to handle it is just being myself.
i have a house and a kid. i feel like a straight chick
