Say Yes to the Dress

so the other night i took two pageant dresses to "The Dress Sale" in hopes of selling my dresses and getting money in return. My mom tried to argue with me about who was going to get the money. I mean really?!
MOM-"You didn't pay for them."
ME-" Neither did you."
MOM- " Well I'm putting the money in my New York trip fund."
ME- "Um.. No. I just save us $1000+ by turning down a trip to New York so you're welcome and I'M getting the money."
MOM-"....."
ME- "And I wore the dresses and succeeded in them therefore IIIIIIII am getting the money for spring break! I NEED CLOTHES!"
the end....

OH WAIT...did i mention the dresses idnt even sell?

Pappaw Bob

A couple of weeks ago, my Great Grandfather passed away. He was in the hospital for more than a month. This was my first significant loss of a loved one. My entire family was on egde for weeks. The funeral process is basically a blur in my mind now. I remember standing at visitation, looking around at the beautiful arrangements of flowers and trying to remember memories of our loved papaw Bob. The day before the funeral i was asked if i wanted to write anything to say. I wanted to do it but at the time everything was so cinfusing i couldn't think of what to say. When visitation hours were through, I went home and cried. I wanted so badly to be able to say something about a man who was so important to my family, the words just wouldn't come to mind. So i thought about for a few hours until i finally found a siple way to get the words across: i decided to compose a lidt of things I will miss about him. The list was a success and i surprisingly didnt break down in front of everyone like i thought i would. My family is doing much better now. It will take time to heal from a loss like that, but we all have faith that everything will be okay.

Want Some Weedman?

About six months ago, my dad approached me with the idea of me getting a job. I'll admit the thought of this sounded totally rediculous to me at the time. I was living life without a worry on an allowance of $80 per month. I went to my room to cry and think of any excuse why it wouldn't be possible for me, with accelerated classes, chores and a LIFE, to get a job. Well, to everyone's surprise, I have a JOB! I now am a door-knocker at Weedman Lawncare. I go around asking people of their are interested in a free estimate of their lawn for summer sevices. I LOVE IT! I make nine dollars an hour AND i get excersise. I mean who WOULDN'T want a job? I have the ability to do things on my own!

The Bug

My three year old sister, Ava, has the stomach flu. she looks pale and pretty much awful. She is getting worse by the minute instead of better. She had to get blood taken to test things out. It didn't go so well. They said she is boarderline-ready for the hospital if we don't keep liquids down... thats what has been d=going on in my life the past few days.
