Yikes!
mom told us that in two weeks she's leaving us for 10 sleeps - ten people sleeps! she's never left us that long before. the cousin will be here to feed us, but even though she's mostly nice to us, she doesn't really LOVE us. we might actually miss mom, but we won't let her know that! she said she's going to belize and guatemala. we don't know where that is, but she'd better bring up something good to make up for being gone so long.
