i feel like mary poppins

i'm taking care of my niece and nephew for the next few weeks. they're bathed, fed, happy, and asleep for the night so i finally had time to take a shower and start thinking about the paper proposal that's due tomorrow morning. how do mom's do it? the kids have already decided that my life as a college student is boring. "homework on the weekends? staying up past eleven to write a paper? the paper isn't about your summer vacation? you don't have slides and swings at your school? you don't get a carnival on halloween? you at least get to wear a costume, right?" they also decided that after they graduate high school they're just going to start over in preschool again. if only it were that easy.
