Yeah, I love that song, and.. well.. I just have to keep reminding myself that even on the bad days when it comes down to it my life really is pretty close to paradise.

I wouldn't say today was a BAD day.. but it wasn't one of those days where I come in going "Awwwww today was the bestest day" and rainbows and ponies and all that good stuff  

But like I said, it wasn't a BAD day.

So this morning we went shopping. I got some summer clothes, a toothbrush head, razor blades, all the necessities

Then we tried to get some lunch at Wal-Mart and eat it on the benches while we waited for my dad to come pick us up. Now normally I do the shopping w/just me and 2 siblings and get them lunch and life is good.. this time it was me, 4 siblings, and my mom... It was a DISASTER...

But, like pretty much everything, it worked fine in the end.

Then we got home, just chilled out. I did some tanning (hehe) while I read a couple new library books.

We went swimming even though it was WAAAY too cold.

Had dinner.

Dealt with a certain brother who was being a jerk and beating me up (like always he does this when my parents aren't around.. he only does the mild version when they are.. and they think THAT'S bad! If only they knew!) but he figured out I wasn't wanting to deal w/his crud pretty quickly on.

That was one of the thing during my day that really got to me... I know that it's not that EVERYTHING is Brian's fault when we fight... but he is always SOOO set on getting his way. Always HIS way. He can never meet in the middle with anything... it's always his way or the highway.

I try standing firm and not giving in to his stuff and he just pushes harder, I'm soft and let him do what he wants hoping he'll start liking me more or something, and he just takes advantage of it.. UGH it's so frustrating.. he.. well.. grr.. HE'S JUST LIKE MY DAD!!!!!

Anyway. That's my day.

I'm reading these awesome books right now. It's 2 different series by the same author. They are the True Colors series and the Diary of a Teenage Girl series by Melody Carlson. They are sooo great... they are Christian books that just deal with issues teenagers go through.. and it's all just fictional characters and stuff.. anyway they are AWESOME books. I am like, addicted to them! Good thing to be addicted to, imo.

Yeppers. So I guess I'd better head out..

Tallyho! :)

I kinda know how you feel - whenever I try to get clothes for me, Hubby and the 2 kids are there and I don't know who's worse, Hubby or the kids! They get on my nerves when I'm doing serious shopping, but oh well, gotta love them anyways! Please know you're more than welcome to tag along when we go shopping if you want some peace (not sure about the quiet part though with my 2 kids! lol!) I have to haul both kids to athens on Friday for my usual shopping... Hubby works OT, so that should be interesting. He usually shops with me on fridays. Anyways, I'm just jabbering on as usual. Love reading your blog! By the way, Just another day in paradise is mine and Hubby's song ;-)
