I hate trying to find an opening for blog posts. What do you say? What greeting do you use? Because everything I type out seems lame to me. I was at Barnes & Noble on Thursday, and I was reading through this book called “Reasons for wanting to die” or something like that. It had page after page of reasons why you want to die, and one of them was “people blogging about their personal lives”. Anyways, it cracked me up. My week has been crazy. Crazy awesome, actually.
MONDAY: Monday was my last day of enrichment. I’ve been involved in our homeschool enrichment classes since I was a wee tot. Seriously though, I remember taking my scooby doo stuffed animal for show and tell. I didn’t really think it would be a big deal to give up classes. I guess I didn’t really look back and think through the long history I’ve had with it. It’s not so much the classes I miss, mainly the people. Of course with this being my last semester, it would have to be the time I get closest to everyone. Which is exactly what happened. It’s funny how life works out that way. Even though co-op is the main way I get to see a lot of people, it’s not like everyone is going to dissapear off the face of the earth and I’m never going to see them again. I thought about trying to switch my day off from friday to monday that way I could still do classes, but with already watching ellie several days a week, I realized that getting school done is going to be more difficult than I thought, so I really need a day where I can stay home, catch up on some much needed sleep, and work my tail off on school. Monday was also my very last open house. Don’t get me wrong, I still plan to attend the annual open house and see all my friends and check out everything they did throughout the semester, but it was “my” last open house. So although Monday was the end of something that I’ve had going on most of my life; it was the beginning of something new and exciting.
TUESDAY: Tuesday I got to spend most of the day with my kid. I can’t get over how adorable she is. We have a song. It’s the only song she likes so far. I sing it to her when she’s all cute and cranky and I can’t get her to fall asleep. I just hold her on my chest and she falls right asleep, cooing the whole time. She’s pretty much taken my heart away from me. It’s okay though, she can have it.
WEDNESDAY: Wednesday was yet another wonderful day spent with El. It can definitely be stressful learning what a baby wants. I got really stressed out when she was screaming and I had no idea what she wanted and I felt like I had tried everything. She was hungry. Go figure.
THURSDAY: Thursday was awesome! I got up at about 7:00 am and started getting ready for the day. Around 9:30 Vicki, Danielle and Michaela came and picked up Bethany, Bekah, Mom and myself and we all drove over to Frisco to go Christmas shopping! When spent literally all day there. And I got almost all of my Christmas shopping done! I know what I’m getting Ben, but I just have to find it. And I’m completely clueless what to get Dad. and I still have to find a couple of gifts for some friends. I pretty much emptied my bank account. I almost got over drawn. Yikes! We had a blast. We ate lunch at Fuddruckers. Danielle and I got a kick out of that place. They had the most awesome bathroom! After we ate, Danielle and I went to the bathroom, and we ended up being in their for over 10 minutes because we were taking pictures of all the pictures and mirrors. We even took pictures standing on top of the toilets. Yeah. It’s kinda our new thing now. After shopping around a bunch of random stores we went to the mall. We ate at the Cheesecake Factory! Woot woot! I got a chocolate chip cookie dough cheese cake. It was the freaking bomb. We kinda got attacked me some random gay guy asking us if he could fix our hair. It was rather insulting actually. Did my hair look that bad? I finally got a new wallet! It’s yellow!!! We probably got home around 11:30. I was so exhausted, but it was an awesome day!
FRIDAY: Friday was a very productive day. Mom and I sat down and went over some algebra stuff. I don’t really wanna dwell on that too long. After that Mom, Bekah and myself ran around town and got some shopping done, and then we went and ate at TaMolly’s and got some good girl talk in. After that I came home and balanced my check book, only to find that I had just barely been spared from being over drawn from shopping the other day. I really hadn’t spent THAT much, I just didn’t have as much money in my account as I thought I did. Anyways, it was kinda bumming to be left with not just a whole lot of money, but I did find some kick butt awesome Christmas presents. After that I worked on yet some more algebra. Bethany got off work around 5:00 and then us sisters headed to Sherman to see New Moon. I was not disappointed at all. It was really good. We got there like an hour early and still ended up on the third row closet to the front, but it wasn’t that bad at all. It was a blast. The movie got out at about 10:30 and we went and got a late dinner at sonic and talked about the movie the whole way home. It was an awesome night.
SATURDAY: Today has been a really good day. I got up and got ready, and then Bethany, Bekah, Ben and I ran around town and checked out a bunch of stores open houses and just ran around town. We got home around 3:30 and I decided to deep clean my room and put all my stuff into my new wallet. Since then I’ve pretty much just been hanging out, enjoying my day off.
Tomorrow is hopefully going to be another lazy day. Monday I have school and nannying, and then Johanna and Josie are gonna spend the night! I’m so excited! Tuesday I’m pretty sure is the first day of my Thanksgiving break, and I have nannying, and then Bekah, Bethany, Johanna and I are gonna go to the 10:30 pm showing of New Moon. Wednesday I have nannying and then a Thanksgiving dinner with the Youth group. Thursday is Thanskgiving!!!!!!!!!!!! Yay!!!!! I am so excited!!!!! We finally get to put up the Christmas tree and deck the house out in Christmas lights and decorations! I am beyond excited. Friday is black friday, and more importantly, my 17th birthday! Woot woot! I’m pretty stoked. That’s about as far ahead as I’ve thought about. These past several weeks have been crazy busy. Anyways, I’ve had a few people tell me that they request/demand a long post, so here ya go.
“can the Maker of all the stars hear the sound of my breaking heart?”
