Sympathy for Ms. Hannigan

Could you do me a big favor? I am just wondering if you would mind driving Whitnie to the store for some tampons. She wants the plastic applicators(scented)not the cardboard.That would be so cool if you could and what's really neat is that Whitnie can tell you all about why cardboard applicators are so uncomfortable just like she told her dad.Oh and while your there, would you mind picking up some Midol? Whitnie, Pennie and Star all start at about the same time and they all suffer from various pains and roller coaster emotions.Thanks so much! You are a savior, real decent. When you get back it would also be great if you could hang out and break up any fights that might erupt.
I'm pretty sure Star borrowed Pennie's mascara today without asking her. Star is feeling pretty emotional today too and is sure to need a good cry, along with Olivia ...and Whitnie and maybe Alexa, if she's tired.So give lots of hugs and reassurances. If Pennie gives Whitnie a dirty look, Whitnie might get really angry and violent, so you'll want to try to diffuse the situation before it gets out of control. The teenagers really don't like doing chores so if you could pitch in that would really be doing me a solid.Be sure to help Olivia with her ballet bun too because if it's crooked she'll cry at dance and when they get home from dance they'll be wondering where their dinner is and might be a little sulky if they have to wait, so you should probably get started on dinner pretty soon. Oh and Olivia doesn't like meat or vegetables and don't bother trying to make her eat them or she will surely cry, Alexa only likes meat, Pennie won't eat at all, but try to encourage her so that she doesn't develop an eating disorder.Whitnie likes to use this time for voicing any complaints she has about almost anything so try to listen intently and be empathetic, because if she thinks your not listening or that you don't care, this can lead to a crying guilt trip from which you may never recover. Although the girls will be tired from dance, they usually will avoid going to be and will instead follow you around the house whining about something or other being unfair.You'll have to firmly insist that they get some rest and you may have to repeat yourself four or five times. Remember that even though they might be looking at you, they won't actually hear or obey you the first ... second... third.. or fourth time. The little girls like to have their hair braided and Olivia likes her back rubbed with baby lotion, and all the girls need about 5 minutes each of hugging and kissing before they can sleep. Again thank you.I know you can do this, you are just the type of patient person that can handle this and it makes you feel so needed too. After the girls are asleep, the phone will only ring 6 or 7 more times in the night. It's usually Mitchell, Tim, or Collin for Pennie or it could be Gerald for Star, or Durante for Whitnie.Take a message and be polite, it's really upsetting to the girls if you aren't and they might think you don't like their friends or that you favor one over the other.You are welcome to sleep in the guest room, unless Olivia wants you to lay by her,oh and Whitnie usually wakes up with cramps about this time of the month. Thanks again your a life saver. If you need me I'll be in the hospital giving birth to my seventh daughter... don't call.
