Mama,
Alex went back to school today. She had to take a nap at recess, and then laid down immediately when we got home, no snack. At dinner, Alex tried to sleepthough it but I made her get up and eat and stay awake until a regular bedtime, hoping that will make her sleep through the night. Oh, no strep.
Danielle is fine. My sunburn is getting better. I put milk on it which helped a LOT and have been using tons of lotion.
I told that teacher that yes, I'll be her summer nanny, even though I'm not excited about this at all. Feeling like I don't belong at some rich people's country club every day is not my idea of fun. Alex is not pleased - she's worried I'll get home after she gets home from camp. I pointed out it'll be light out until after dinner and she can just wait outside for me. Alex wasn't digging it, until she realized I'd be working and have money. "Maybe you can give me money for italian ices every day." Yeah and maybe monkeys will fly out of my ass too.
My marketing class is almost all 11th and 12th graders - me and this girl Jessica are the only 10th graders in it. A boy in our class in 12th grade asked me to the prom. I thought he was kidding at first, but he wasn't. I don't know what to tell him. When I told Josh he just asked if I was going to go. When I said I wasn't sure, he just nodded and we've been awkward since. Boys are so difficult. When I grow up, I'm going to be a nun. Or gay. Or a gay nun.
Even though there's sun, I bet there's no such thing as sunburns in heaven.
Love,
Sam

Boys are difficult, but also easily threatened. I don't know if you were considering the prom with unknown new guy, but Josh may think you are. If not, tell Josh.
Getting back to a good bedtime routine is great thinking. Unfortunately, you're getting good at this 'parenting' thing.
Try not to feel like you don't belong. What keeps you from these types of activities is the fact that you're living with your aunt. If things had been different 6 years ago, this would be just one of the many terrific activities you'd experience.
You are no different now than you were then. Your circumstances are different, but you are no less deserving.
Besides, it's a job. You're a smart person, and you know that when you show up for work you have a job to do and there are expectations. A famous quote says "Fake it until you make it." Put on the smile and attitude, and eventually you will believe it's right for you.
