my very own kid nation

I'm down in the Springs (as people here call it. I call it the very ugly part of Colorado) tending to one nephew and two neices while their parents snorkel and scuba their stress away. I've heard the drama surrounding Kid Nation, but haven't watched it. However, I think I am living it this week.

What happens when you put a 12 year old, 9 year old and 6 year old in charge of a house project? A lot of debating, name calling and a lack of accomplishment. How does the "cool aunt" maintain her status while being serious? Poke light fun and then banish the kiddies to the chore reminding them of the CUPCAKES I let them have and the COOKIES packed in their lunches and the SLEEPING IN and lack of CLEANING I have blessed them with. How quickly they forget my coolness!
