MOM , Cabug, Precious, and I went on a special trip to Wal-Mart last nite.
Now MOM has been boycotting WM. We haven’t been there in like 3 weeks; we have even been shopping at a little more expensive grocery store instead of supporting WM. Check out this post for the boycott reason: Wal-Mart comes out of the closet Anyway, so when she came to the office and told us she HAD to go to WM, I fainted and Alatariel had a heart attack!! NJK!! So I got my makeup and clothes on, and took Cabug and Precious to the van. My dad’s truck was in the middle of the driveway, so I went and moved it. Well my dad about had a heart attack, b/c he thought I was going to run into a tree. It was funny. He started yelling at me to stop. So when I went to the van he was standing there and said, “Gun it next time, why don’t ya.” LOL!! Hardy har har!! By the time we got to WM, Cabug and Precious were sleeping, so I gave MOM and then she was like, “Um, you can’t come.” So I went to get some powder. Then I stopped by the juniors section to see if they had any SUPERMAN shirts. I saw some Pirates of the Caribbean shirts. MOM won’t let us get one, b/c the skulls on it. Cabug and I carried Precious. Cabug woke up when we got in. I started following I was looking and didn’t see a SUPERMAN one, so I started to leave, and then it caught my eye: a SUPERMAN shirt!! I was so happy!! It is white with the symbol and the symbol is red, yellow, and blue. It also has some small buttons that say Bam and something like that!! Then I went to find MOM and get close then she has to find what she was looking for and I was like, “whoops”. So I took Cabug and we went to look at the movies. And for the life of me I couldn’t find Charlie and the Chocolate Factory!! But then Cabug found it!! He carried it around for awhile. MOM still wasn’t done, so we went to see of they still carried the SUPERMAN bed set. They do!! When Cabug saw SUPERMAN he was so excited!! HE dropped the movie and went over to see the bed set. They had some REALLY nice throws of SUPERMAN. They were so soft!! By that time MOM was done so we went and checked out. I had to get a MO for a birthday present, so I took Cabug with me to the service desk. When I got there, there was 2 people in front of me and so the woman took care of the first one and answered the phone. She was obviously perturbed by the customer on the phone b/c she kept rolling her eyes, like “god, that is what I just said.” So I knew that she was going to be trouble. Well after she rudely told the man in front of me that he had to take his item over to the jewelry dept, b/c it was a piece of jewelry, she helped me. Now I set Cabug on the counter to get my money out and I had given her the wrong amount of change, so she told me in a snotty way that I had. Well while I was getting my change out she was talking to Cabug and this is how her conversation went: WM Assoc. “Hi there. You don’t need that Nasty thing in your mouth!! How old is he?” Me “ He is 16 ”Yeah you shouldn’t have that NASTY thing in your mouth.” Me: Smiled So after I handed her my money, I gave her like 10 or 15 pennies, she said, “Thanks for all the pennies” I said, “You’re welcome” with a smile You know you just don’t say stuff like that to friends, let alone someone you don’t know. MOM said I should have said, “well he still breast feeds, so that is why he has it.” But I just walked away. I was going to pay for my 2 piddly items there, but I decided against it. I just went and stood in line with MOM. I paid for my items and MOM paid for hers and we left. Cabug and Precious were very cankerous so we scrimmaged up all the change in the van and stopped by Wendy’s for some 99 cent fries. I really enjoy Wendy’s!! Their fries are ALWAYS HOT!! So we are pulling up the driveway, when ALATARIEL calls to remind me to go by DQ for my buy 1 get 1 free blizzard for my bday. They sent me a coupon for being a part of their blizzard club. I was supposed to make dinner last nite and didn’t since I went with MOM and when I got home, they only thing left was homemade mac and cheese. So I made it. I asked Tigerlily to shred the cheese and as she was getting the grater out of the cupboard, she swung around and hit me in the forehead with it. So I have a cheese grater pattern scratch on my forehead!! I know you will get a kick out of that all!! Good thing I have bangs to cover it!! LOL!! So we ate dinner, watched Numb3rs, and then I came downstairs to clean the kitchen. After I cleaned, I shut down the Pc and then made Dad's lunch!! Brushed my teeth and went up to bed!!
Also my Grandma sent me a catalog for Avon and as I was looking at it, I realized I still owe her money from last time I ordered!! OOPS!! I saw somethings I really want in it. So if anyone wants any Avon let me know and I will get that to my Grandma!! LOL!!
I have got to STOP shopping. I haven’t spent anything in awhile, but I just spent like $25 in one nite!! YIKES!! And I still need to get some gel, deodorant, and some other things.
Yeah and I did a count of SUPERMAN articles of clothing and my count is up to about 13 things!! Maybe more!! That does not include my other SUPRERMAN items that aren’t clothing. Maybe I should count those too!! Man, that would take a while!! ©AmandaDixon2006

I knew there had to be a good reason to stop going to WalMart! I don't like it anyway, but there's not a lot of choice for some stuff, unless you go to the Mall or to an Outlet Mall! Meijer, but they're expensive on a lot of things. And I just signed up for a Sams Club membership! Love that because on the diet I'm on, I need large quantities of stuff, like cottage cheese, brocolli......
anyway, sounds like an interesting trip!

A Mother of All Trades

As I was doing my hair and makeup yesterday, I got to thinking when I first was allowed to wear makeup and how my MOM showed me how to put it on. And also when MOM puts
her makeup on, I usually hand it to her as we are in van. She always
says I am like a nurse handing the surgeon his tools at an operation.
Some of the things she told me about applying make up was:
When applying it around
your eyes you use your ring finger and go in towards your nose on the
bottom of your eye and out towards your temple on the top. So that you
make a complete clockwise circle around your eyes. Do not push hard
when you do this. This process helps with reducing the bags around your
eyes when you are older!! The reason you use your ring finger is it is
the weakest of your fingers, so there is no pressure breaking the
muscles under your eyes.
And I have recently learned
that when applying powder you should use a sponge and not brushes. The
sponge blends the foundation with the powder evenly leaving it looking
smooth and natural. When I was using the brushes I was told that I
looked very powdery by many members of my family. Now I have not had
any remarks about my makeup so that is nice.
So with all the help from my MOM I have come to the conclusion that I am a lucky girl. I have a Mother of All Trades.
My Mother has been the following throughout her life:
Daughter
Wife
Mary Kay Consultant Creative Memories Consultant
Shaklee Health Distibutor
Ministries Leader (Womens, Childrens, Worship, Moms, and more that I can’t think of right now!)
Homeschool Book Seller
Singer
Chauffeur
Garden Tender
Home Birth Expert
Childrearing Expert
Homeschool Expert
Accountant
Cook and Hostess or waitress @ KFC & Golden Corral, and - ew... Burger King!
Chocolate Luver
And the best and most important of all: A Loving Mother of All Trades!!
She uses those things she learned in every day life as a
Mother of All Trades.
She taught me about makeup,
she taught me how to cook, she taught me alot of health and nutrition,
she knows about what homeschooling resources to use, she provides for
our family by planting and tending a HUGE garden!! And to LUV
chocolate!!
Everyday she tries to be more like the Proverbs 31 Woman and most of the time she exceeds in this.
She does everything in her
power to protect us from harm, both physical and spiritual, helps me to
become the Proverbs 31 Woman that my family will need. She makes sure
we have everything we need.
Yes, she does have her
HORRIBLE days, but she comes out stronger and more equipped for the
next time she has a HORRIBLE day!!
I know we have our rough times, but I am thankful that she is my
Mother of All Trades

That's great you love your mom so much! You don't like Burger King!! Shocking!
I love my mother a ton too!
Sometimes it's hard being a Proverbs 31 woman, isn't it? That's what i'm striving to be though, someone that my husband and children and most importantly, God, can be proud of.
Have a great chocolatey day!

My Busy Productive Week
Published on September 30, 2006 at 4:22 PM
This Article was published in Daily bloggings of a 16 year old Girl on her way to becoming a Woman of God
|
What I did this week: Sunday: 4 more days til SMALLVILLE 6 Dad, Alatariel, and I rode our bikes ALL THE WAY TO Columbia City. That is about 15mi. over really, really hilly back roads. It was really hard. Like harder than just riding the 3mi. to town and back. WOW!! I don't think I will be doing it again. Then we stopped by Peebles department store to see if they had some shirts, but they didn't. Then went home. MOM made some popcorn when we got home and we watched the very last episode of SMALLVILLE 5. We ate dinner and watch some tv for awhile. Then went to bed.
Monday: 3 more days til SMALLVILLE 6 Got up had a bit of breakfast. Clean up a bit. Then MOM started making Spaghetti from scratch. Then she got on the computer and I took over. I made the sauce in the food processor and broke it!! I was pushing a tomato down the tube and dropped the knife in and now we can't get the blade or the holder thing off. OOPS!! So while the sauce and noodles were cooking I made some biscuits. Then we ate this delicious lunch. Afterward I went to my room for awhile and came down to a still messy kitchen. So I then cleaned up the entire kitchen. It looked pretty good when I was done. lol!! Then I can’t remember what I did after that. I think I went to my room and cleaned it?!?!?! Then we had dinner and watched CSI:Miami and the news and then went to bed.
Tuesday: 2 more days til SMALLVILLE 6
MOM woke me up at SEVEN AM!! I don't like it that early and the SUN WASN'T EVEN UP!! She was making breakfast, so I went and folded some laundry and put some on. Then we ate breakfast and sat at the table laughing cuz we were so tired. Then MOM forced us to go back to bed...ok....we went very willingly....ok...we RAN to bed!! Then I got up at an astonishing 12pm, MOM was reading Genesis: Finding Our Roots to the Littles, so I stayed and listened. Then around 1pm we went downstairs and had leftovers. Then I tried to get some school done. After some hard work I went and cleaned up the kitchen. After I was done, I took a shower. Then went up stairs and got ready to go. Dad said he would take us to the park, but when he got home it was too late. So we didn’t go. Then after dinner we got ready for bed and went.
Wednesday: 1 more day til SMALLVILLE 6 I got up around 7am cleaned up the bathroom and such. Then waited for MOM to get up so she could cut off my split ends. After she did the above said, I went and got ready to go to the store. Well I didn’t end up going, so I stayed home and got some Algebra done. Then right before MOM got back I started making a cake for Alatariel, because I told her I would make her one if Federer won the US OPEN, which he did. OK, so I was like 2 weeks late. When the cake was done baking and cooled, I made some REALLY REALLY great cream cheese frosting. I put “2006 US Open Winner Federer, Happy Birthday Frodo” on the cake. It was a delicious cake!! And for dinner MOM made some Green Enchiladas!!!!! They were great!!!! Then we cleaned up the kitchen and went upstairs and watched CSI:New York. Then went to bed.
Thursday: SMALLVILLE 6 PREMIERE Got up around 8:30am(11 1/2 hours til S6) had something to eat, then went to the books. Worked on that for awhile, then got some leftover dinner from Wed. Finished my school around 3:30pm (2 1/2hours til S6), then cleaned up the kitchen (SPOTLESS), the bathroom, and the attic room. Then we ate dinner early than we usually do, so the Littles could go to be before SMALLVILLE around 6:30pm(1 1/2hours til S6).Then we watched some tv til SMALLVILLE came on at 8pm. OH.....it was soooooo GREAT!!!!!! I can’t wait til next week. Then after SMALLVILLE we went to our room and went to bed about 10pm. I didn’t fall asleep til like 10:30pm though.
Friday: Got up around 8:30am got ready to go to Mr. Schenck’s. Worked from 9am-11am. Came home to Toys r Us. MOM was going through all the toys and getting rid of the ones we don’t need. Started some laundry and ate some lunch. Then we took a shelf apart to take to the basement for veggie storage. Then put it back together and went back to the house to clean up. While we were cleaning I decided to try classical music. I do not like it!! So I put in MOM 's Phantom of the Opera soundtrack in instead. Cleaned up the kitchen to perfection and then MOM came in and went upstairs to have her 4pm rest/sitting, only she was an hour late. Then a little while later we had dinner and then after dinner MOM and I talked for awhile!! Then around 9:30pm I took a shower and when I was done Numb3rs was on, so we watched it and then we went to bed.
We have had a really busy week, if you can’t tell. But it was productive, so that is GREAT!! Thank you LORD, for a wonderful week. I cannot believe that today is the last day of September!!!! Where has the year gone??? ©AmandaDixon2006

Doesn’t granite take millions of years to form?
Published on September 16, 2006 at 8:11 PM

We got an email from Answers in Genesis and the title was "Doesn’t granite take millions of years to form?" As I was reading it to Mom, I said, "No it takes 9 months, that is how long it took for Caleb to form!" The reason for this answer is Caleb has a head like granite! He will run up to you and hit his head on any part of your body. And it really hurts too! He is like SUPERMAN or something he is impervious to pain when he does this! We always say he has granite for a head! It was really funny, Mom just burst out laughing! ©AmandaDixon2006
Here is the email:
Q: Doesn’t granite take millions of years to form? A: According to evolutionary geologists, granite is made of a number of compounds that were mixed together under extreme heat. Supposedly they rose slowly to the earth’s crust, and then cooled over thousands of years to form the granites we see today. However, evolutionary geologists have discovered something. Some of the crystals found in granites near the earth’s surface will not withstand temperatures over 800° Celsius for more than 50 years without being destroyed. This is a big problem for these scientists and their previous theories about the origin of granite. The idea that blobs of molten rock rose slowly through the crust and cooled for eons of time is now in question. Evolutionary geologists are now changing their ideas and are starting to look to more catastrophic events to explain the origin of rocks, like granites. If we really want to know how the first rocks were formed, we can find our answers in Genesis—God commanded the dry land to appear, which makes sense of the evidence scientists are now discovering!

Gardening, Mosquitos,Goats and a lot of other things going on here at The Daily Planet
Published on June 14, 2006 at 4:18 PM
This Article was published in Daily bloggings of a 16 year old Girl on her way to becoming a Woman of God

WOW!!!! I didn't know how hard it would be to get this garden going! We have been working on it all week. Well 'cept for yesterday: Town day.
We have planted Tomatoes, Corn, Bush Beans, Zucchini, Bush Acorn Squash, Butternut Squash, Peppers, and more that I can't think of right now.
I don't even know how many of each we planted........a lot though......for a lot of hungry people. Hopefully we will be done with it soon. I mean planting.
With doing that and having my dad on vacation we aren't really blogging or being on the puter this week. But I was let on Blogging leave today, because I was out all day in the garden on ?Monday? I think. Wait......yeah it was then, because me and my dad went to Fort Wayne on Sunday to get some garden tools.
The mosquitoes were HORRIBLE this year! You walked outside and you get swarmed. I keep praying that it will snow for 1 day and kill them all. Last year we didn't have this problem because it was 80degrees then it snowed for 1-2 days. And it had killed all of them. So if it snows or at least frosts then that should kill them. OH PLEASE FREEZE OR SNOW!!!!
I think that is all for now folks! I have added more since I was going to post it.
(added) Mosquitoes finally got the clue: we don't want them here. We have not had hardly any of them this week. THANK GOD! Or we would not have gotten the garden planted. That was how bad they were. With the chilly (32degree) evenings that we have been having they have died down some. We also got a "Mosquito Deleto" That has helped some too.
Great story about it. We went on Sunday to get the tools and we looked at it. It was marked down from $330 to $179. So Dad went to his boss and asked him how much lower he could go. And we got it for $100. Is that a GODSEND or what? He was so thankful that we got it.
Chloe and Heidi really luv me. Whenever I walk away from them, they bleat(sp?) at me. Who would have thought that taking care of goats would be so easy? Not us!
I just got my 16th bday pics developed from last year and I look HORRIBLE! When I put them in my album I am doing a page that says "AWWW.......Run for the Hills....ScaryAngel is here". Oh.... they aren't pretty!
Another thing that is going on is: I am getting my wisdom teeth in and they really hurt. So we are going to get them lanced the rest of the way and taken out. Hopefully. I don't want to wait til I have problems with them to have to get them out. My MOM has had a lot of problems with hers.
I am soo excited I have found some of my fav perfume. It is the Bath & Body Works Fantasia de Cioccolatte (sp?). I thought that it had been discontinued so I was looking on eBay for it and couldn’t find a good price. So we went to Bath & Body Works because we had a coupon for Mother’s Day, and they had it! I was soo excited. I paid full price for it anyway, but I was happy.
My other fav is Haiku by Avon. My grandma wears it, so it makes me think of her. She lives in New Mexico and we only get to see her once or twice a year. Sniff sniff. =0(
Has anyone ever noticed how retarded the Washer and Dryer commercials are? Who in their right mind would actually only wash 10 towels or 10 pairs of jeans? If you have a large family there is NO WAY that you can only wash that much in each load. You would be doing laundry for the rest of your life, and NOTHING else. Apparently the people who make them don’t know how to wash clothes. It cracks me up to watch these commercials. Man, I wish people would get a CLUE!
I have been having these weird dreams that someone sabotages my NEW SUPERMAN shirt. The first one my dad put it on the grill to dry it! And last nite Myrtle got nail polish on it! What is that about? Crazy! Hope it doesn't happen though!
They have a WHOLE bunch of SUPERMAN shirts at WAL MART that I want!
Funny story! Myrtle was changing in our room and she stepped on a bottle of lotion and it squirted lotion ALL over my bed and across the room. There was lotion everywhere. I didn't think it was funny at the time, but it is humorous now!
Isaac & I were in the laundry room and he had just fallen down outside, so he was kinda cranky. I found a dime in the washer and I said, " Hey Isaac, look what I found" so I started to hand it to him & he said, "I don’t care. My leg hurts cause I fell." It was sooo cute. He luvs to clean out the lint of the dryer.
I made one of my skirts last nite. Not totally finished with it, just needs a zipper, but it is too cute. I will take a pic of it and show. I have 2 more to make. Myrtle and I will have matching skirts.
So how is your week going? Been busy......wait...... that was a dumb question........of course you are busy. HAH!
Well I should probably go back out and finish. Read about my HORRIBLE NEWS here: No more for me til July!

The reason we don't have a big garden this year is because all of our mental and physical energy is going into building our house. I am not complaining. I just miss the eating and enjoying of the produce. Not to mention the savings. Our cupboards and freezers are getting bare and that is when I feel the longing for the garden produce. I will have to post some pic's in rememberance of our garden. (0;

Okay I think I can finally tell you about my trip.
As I already said it was a looooong one. But it was great.
We left the house on May 5 at 5pm. We left South Whitley at 5:30pm. We went to the DG and Gas Station for drinks and things. We are on our way. At about 6:30pm we stopped at Arby’s and all got their sub special. Then we drove til about 8:30pm and stopped at a gas station. Took the littles to the bathroom when we (Myrtle and I) came out to van the van there were some teenagers, boys, and I guess they were staring at us, so mom had us get in the van til they left. Then Mom and Myrtle went in to get a drink and came out and then Myrtle wanted a drink, so she and I went back in. Now before we went back in mom had said, "Ok, its safe to get out of the van.", because the teenagers had left. So we went in and I guess mom had missed the ones inside. They were buying cigarettes, so they had to have been 18 or older, so when we went to van we told mom and then Myrtle said, "But they weren’t looking at us." And mom said, "Well yeah, you are jail bait to them." We all started laughing. So we left the station at about 9pm. We didn’t stop til we were about 20min from Grandpa’s Caleb needed to nurse. We get to the road that we turn on and then it was like a fork, so we take a couple turns and get lost because the directions didn’t have the same names as the ones on the signs. We drive around for like an hour trying diff roads to see if it would lead us to the right one. And to make matters worse mom’s cell phone didn’t have service. So we were lost in the woods with no phone. It was SCARY.
Then we stopped to ask someone where the road was and he told us. So at about 11:30pm we finally got to Grandpa’s.
We ate something and waited for Texas Ranch House to come on. I fell asleep in the process and missed the entire 2hours it was on. Not to mention it was the final episode.
Then mom woke me up and we went to bed.
On Saturday I got up did my face and hair and went to get some breakfast. The only thing they had was Sugar Smacks. I also had to take Benadryl for my allergies. They have 5 dogs. That makes me drowsy. Then we tried to get on the puter, but we couldn’t.
Then Grandpa got home and got something to eat and then we got ready to go the lake. We went to the lake from 2:30pm-6:30pm. Grandpa took me out on the paddle boat for about 2 hours. It was too windy and chilly though. We caught about 3- 9-in. Blue Gills. When we got back to shore Myrtle had the most catches with like 25. Then we went home. I went with Debbie to get the pizza. When we got back we ate dinner and watched Kong. Myrtle and I cleaned up the kitchen and made the pancake batter for the next day, and I made some bread dough.
I did some laundry and went upstairs to see if Alias was on, but it wasn’t. The littles had finally gone to bed and everyone else had fallen asleep. I was the only one awake and I luv to watch old movies so I found one called Tomorrow is Forever. Orson Wells was in it with Claudette Colbert.
I didn’t really like it. I didn’t really understand why it ended the way it did.
Then I went to bed.
On Sunday Myrtle and I got up around 8:30am and helped Grandpa clean off the kitchen table. I finished and baked the bread. And then I went upstairs and got dressed and everything. When I came down Myrtle and Grandpa were making breakfast. I went upstairs to help Debbie fix the puter. Didn’t work.
We had a HUGE Breakfast. There was every breakfast food there. When every one was done they went outside and I fell asleep on the couch from the Benadryl. When I woke up everyone was ready to go to the lake. So I got ready too. Grandpa just took us four older ones. Mom and Debbie stayed home with the others. Great Grandma and Jessie were going to be coming over, so we were only going to go for a couple of hours. We were there for like 3. Around like 6pm, Debbie came to get us because Grandma and Jessie had been there for 2 hours. Right before she came I had told Grandpa that they were gonna come get us, and I was right.
So we came home and had dinner with everyone. Then Grandpa made a campfire and they cooked marshmallows. I came in with Caleb. Then everyone got ready for bed.
On Monday we got up and got around and it was no the right time to go to the lake, so we watched LOTR, but it kept skipping on his player, so that didn’t happen. Then around 1:30 we went out to go fishing, but we had to clean the boat first and redo our fishing lines. That took about 2 hours. So at 3:30pm we went to the lake. Myrtle and I went out on the paddleboat and the other three in the jonboat.
You can go to Myrtle's to see what happened that day.
There is one thing she left out though. When we were out there. We heard someone yelling. There were some people on the dock so we thought that that was who it was. We thought they had said Amanda, so I yelled back. I knew they weren’t talking to me but it was funny. Myrtle was telling me to shut up. Well whatever they had said I answered back what and no. So anyway, when we get back home we had to hurry and get ready because Grt. Grandma wanted to take us out to the Golden Corral. So we jumped in the shower real fast and got ready. When we get there the guy at the register was my mom’s band teacher. Well when we were eating dinner Debbie asked me if we had heard her calling us and come to find out the person yelling was Debbie. It was funny.
Then we went to WalMart and got mom some diff shoes and got Hannah some shirts because she had only packed 2 long sleeve shirts. And I found a Superman shirt. Myrtle had found a Pirates of the Caribbean one, but mom wouldn’t let her get it. Then we went to look for a LOTR Trilogy edition chess set that they don’t make anymore. They didn’t have it. There was this weird teenager following us too. SO we got lost. Then we checked out and left.
Tuesday was Myrtle’s 15 birthday. We went to Susie’s and had pizza and cake and ice cream. And spend some time there with Grt. Grandma and Susie and everyone, except Debbie who had to work. We also moved Grt. Grandma into Jan’s old trailer. Jan, Jessie and Susie are my Grt. Aunts.
Then we went back home. Grandpa took Rachel and Hannah to the lake. Debbie came home and we watched Dreamer.
On Wednesday Grandpa and Myrtle went through his writing books. And I don’t remember what else we did. Except that nite. It had been raining all day and Grandpa wanted to go to the lake. So everyone went. Myrtle and I stayed in the van with Ca-bub (Caleb). Then about 6pm mom and I and Isaac, Hannah and Ca-bub went home for a bit. We went back to the lake around 7:45pm to see who wanted to come home. We got home around 8:05pm and watched Amazing Race. We had fish for dinner.
On Thursday Debbie was off. And she had to go get her check and Myrtle and I went with her. We did a lot of shopping. Both grocery and self. Lol It was really fun to spend time with her. We got lunch and spend the whole day out on the town. She bought us and gave us A LOT of stuff. She gave me Bath and Body Works. Bought me some flip flops and a Superman waterbottle and a bunch of other things.
When we got home Myrtle made Spaghetti. It was good. And we watched CSI. Then we cleaned up and started packing. Then I gave Grandpa my LOTR book and we discussed that til about 2:30am. And I made 3 loaves of Banana Bread. And we watched the old Poseidon Adventure. Then about 3:30am we went to bed.
Friday morning we got up about 8:30am and started packing everything. I seriously don’t know how we got all that stuff to fit in the van. We left about 2hours after we wanted too, but that was okay. We stopped at Sonic on the way home. I LUV SONIC!!! And then outside of Indy we stopped again for bathroom break. Mom, Myrtle, Eric, Hannah, Isaac and I were all in the one room bathroom. When we came out there were 2 women waiting and when we walked out they said, ‘How many people are in there." It was very rude. And Myrtle and I hadn’t even got to go. So we waited for them to go. And then after we went we went back to the van and I got in the driver’s seat because mom was nursing Ca-bub. I had to throw away some trash and there were some people that where filling up and when I got out they stared at me. Like why was I in the driver’s seat of a 15-passenger van. Then we left and missed a turn and had to go a diff way home and Hannah and Eric weren’t behaving and so we finally got home at 5:20pm. When we stopped Myrtle and I ran to the house. It was soooooooo Goood to be home. But when to dampen our joy we had to unload the van. Boooooohoooooo. But we did it and then made dinner and I tried to catch up on eBay. Oh boy that is a another thing, So then Myrtle begged me to let her get on her blog. SO I gave up my blog time and let her get on. I did laundry and watched our LOTR to make sure it worked. It did. Then about 1am I went to bed.
Yesterday Myrtle and I went to work with my dad. My entire bottom half hurts soooo bad. You can read the post before this to see what we did with my dad.
So that was my week.
This has to be the LONGEST post ever! Hope you can take the time to read it ALL! lol
Mom said I should make 3 posts, but I don't want to take the time to.
Thanks for stopping by "Daily" at the "Planet"!
