I'm so excited! I will be going to Africa! There's an orphanage in Egypt I will be going to. The mission’s trip is around 6 weeks or so. I don't know specific dates yet. A month of it will be spent on the field and the remainder of the time will be spent in boot camp and a debrief that is at the end.   I hope everyone is having a great weekend!

He turned 14 years old. He had a few of his friends over. Our Grandpa brought pizza's! And my uncle, my aunt, and my cousin even came over. The only thing was, was that Emily had to baby-sit today, and I joined her later on, so I missed some of the party. But we bought him a John Mayer cd, so that hopefully made up for some of our absence...he's been wanting a John Mayer cd for a while now. He loves the song Daughters.  Well, it's getting late, lee  http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/tenshi/464224/ Sat, 19 Jan 2008 01:03:00 -0600 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/tenshi/464224/    So, I have finally gotten rid of my cold! Yay!!! Last week I lost my voice, almost completely. That’s never fun. It seems like every year about this time I loose my voice…and it’s a growing tradition I would rather do without. The most annoying thing about loosing your voice, at least for me, is when I get phone calls. Especially when they come bright and earlier in the morning and you haven’t tried to use your voice for the past 8 hours.    But anyway, I am currently trying to learn Spanish right now. I’m using a couple different programs; sadly one of them requires a microphone to compare your words to a native speaker, which I do not have. Right now I am learning numbers, colors, some basic words, and my ABC’s. It takes me way back to my younger days when I start singing the ABC song, only in Spanish of course. So, if anyone knows of any good programs, let me know!    Since it’s the weekend I’m going to party, party tonight!! Which simply means I’ll stay up late, watch a movie or something, and then sleep in tomorrow. Yep, Dolly Parten couldn’t ask for a better party then that.   Take care everyone!

I'll probably be starting on Monday. Though I love having a row of lazy days where I don’t have to get up at a reasonable time or think about school, and it’s with a sigh we say goodbye to them, there is something very nice about getting things done and having a schedule to follow. I’m actually looking forward to starting school.    Once a week I have a house cleaning job that I do. It’s a nice job. I don’t have to get there at any particular time and he doesn’t even really mind what day of the week I go, though I do try to go consistently on a certain day. It takes me a couple hours to clean the whole house, and though it is tiring work it’s not that physically exhausting. And, I get overpaid…in my opinion. But then that’s something I don’t think anybody complains about . With it being this time of year everybody is naturally very busy and in the past two months I have canceled three times. Once, because it was the day before Thanksgiving and I had the flu (what a great time to come down with the flu) but I don’t really count that one because he had a bunch of people over and would’ve “canceled” it himself. The other time I was out of town and the other time was a day or two after Christmas. Well, he just called be a bit ago and politely told me that if I wasn’t going to be more consistent then he was going to have to find someone else. I always call (though he rarely listens to his messages) and tell him when I can’t come in, and in my opinion I have been consistent. Well, the dilemma of this story is not who’s in the right and who’s in the wrong. I’m simply wondering if I should quit. Not out of, “How dare you accuse me of such a thing, I quit!!!” or anything. This is the time of year that it’s not always safe to go driving with all the snow and everything, I’m busy with my school, and trying to get ready for an upcoming missions trip, (which money would be helpful, but it’s not like he’s the only way I make money). So the question I’m asking myself is should I quit or not?    Anyway, I hope everybody had a great weekend!!!

So, I decided to get myself a blog on here because...well, that's a whole other story in itself and maybe I’ll go into it another time. But anyway, on to other things...    I am a Christian girl, who loves medieval history, and I also love Egyptian history as you can probably guess by looking at my blog. In fact, this summer I am going to Egypt on a missions trip!!! I love writing, hence the reason I allowed myself to get a blog.      Well, that is all for now.
