From Yonder Window...

So last night I stayed up until 5 in the morning sitting around a campfire with my brother and his friends. I know this doesn't sound very appealing, but it actually was. I learned a lot about my brother and his friends; good and bad.

This week I've been in a sewing mood. I made a hobo bag that is made with a bright orange swirly fabric. It is very big, has a pocket, and I sewed a flower from buttons on the front. The next thing I made was another hobo bag! It is cordoroy and has buttons allover it. they are cute!

Well I'm done for now, so Write at ya later.

Check Please!

I have found my keys that have been missing for two days. It is such a relief. I hate the feeling I get when I lose something and you've looked everywhere to find it, and there's nothing else you can do. It's like your mind and heart fighting: Heart "they have to be somewhere" mind "you've look everywhere, so you should just give up and except defeat." I'm glad I found them.

I haven't written in a while and to be honest it was kinda nice; I just never have anything to talk about and sometimes I'm just to lazy to think about something to write.

Well I have to go for now I'm helping my mom babysit. Ronnie seems very interesting.

I have decided two things...

First: After I cooled off and reread what I wrote about the kids I felt ashamed and very cruel. I know that I wrote that entry in the heat of anger, and I also know that I cannot delete it because it is still "me" and my thoughts. From now on I'm going to cool off before I write then "maybe" I will think twice before I write anything that is cruel. Afterall they are kids and they are looking to me for some guidance.

Second: After 200 grueling pages of LOTR I have decided to stop reading it. It's not that it's a bad book it's just boring. I still want to know what happens but at the same time I don't want to waste my valuable time reading it either. Maybe when I get old as dirt and have a boring life I will re-read it and it may have a different effect on me.

I highlighted my hair! Harry Potter comes out Saturday! That's all for know folks!

'Ashely she took my shoes, and wont give them back...I want them back (sniffles) they are mine(crying)

These past few weeks I have just been so sick of children. I babysit two times a week and my mom babysits two times a week, so the kids are at our house the whole week and most of the time there here on the weekends. I'm mostly annoyed by the little things that they do, and not totally be their presence.

The number one reason I'm not too fond of kids right now is becase it is the summer and I want to be able to go out and have fun, but if I want to do this I have to drag around two kids. I feel like a grown adult with two children; a Soccer Mom.

I also hate the amount of money I get paid; $15 dollars a day for two kids and $10 for one kid, and most of the time I have them from 6:30 AM to 6:00 PM. Their mother is at work making at least $20/hour, so I feel that I should at least get paid what she does in one hour. Right? If it wasn't for me she would have to hire a babysitter that would want $50/ day. I'm not out to cause problems for Joanie and her reliable babysitters, so I never say anything. If I ever did get a raise I would feel horrible for taking the money. So I guess I will let her keep walking all over me.

Another thing I hate is that the kids don't listen.When they first get to the house they don't listen to me, it takes them about two hours to realize that I'm not their mother and they have to listen to me. Throughout the day Kaitlynn doesn't listen at all, but she is still young and testing her boundries. When they do start to listen the day starts to become smoother.

The last little complaint I have is how loud they are. They definatly take after their mother.

Most of the time I'm strict with them but that's the way I was brought up and that's the way I will bring my kids up. I believe that most children these days haven't had the proper guidence, which is mostly due to Parents wanting to be friends with their children, and that is a no! no! because then your kids will walk allover you with no respect.

Well i'm done venting L8R
There's not much to talk about really...

I did start to read LOTR, and so far I'm enjoying it. The movies are way different from the books. The books have a lot more details and events, which is normal when a book is turned into a movie. I always hate seeing a movie before reading a book because you know what's going to happen, and I would rather read the book and then see the movie.

I have decided not to get my hair permed but instead cut short. That will be a big change for me, most of the time my hair is very long.

Well since nothing eventful has happened in the past few weeks I'm done talking for now. Later!
