Domino Affect of Everything Unfortunate- A Review of Friday

(for maximum effect click the link on Brewer Bunch and read A Series of Unfortunate Events... and Have You Ever Had One Of THOSE Days?)

YES JEN, we just had one of THOSE days. YES JULIE, I was in the middle of A terrible, Horrible , No Good, Very Bad, days. YES BROOKE, we never felt guilty to have the tv on for hours.

Bad day posts are fun to read, not fun to experience.

And, it is kinda fun to reflect on.

It started, with the fact that Daddy was leaving to Tampa straight after work. So when he left at 7 in the morning, we knew we wouldn't see him until sunday night.

Great Start,isn't it? So anyway, Mo comes down-a mess,because she only had ONE HOUR of sleep the night before. That's because Baboosh comes down, and out of all days, he caught EVERYONE'S sickness. So he's coughing and sobbing, and NEWSFLASH, we figure it was going to be a LOOOOOONG day. He cried almost all morning, and Mo tried to get some sleep while we took care of SamMan.


Then, we made our to-do list. Let's just say 6- PARTS on my to-do lists. And then when I tried to do my book report, I realize that my book taught me almost nothing, and I have to write a THREE PARAGRAPH essay on the country.

Then, Dwayne invites me over. (Ok, so my day wan't completely negative.) Then, as I ride my bike over, my ungroomed hair is stuck to the helmet. Ride back home, pull it off in one big yank.


So after a couple of hours, I decide to come home and see if I can pull off anything productive.


Nada.


Soon, Mo loads everyone in the car so we can take Baboosh to the doctor. This is were the dominoe effect happens. We played with friends, which causes us to be running slow, which causes us to be in a rush, which causes me to forget my book, which causes another two hours of nothing productive. How's that for dominoes.

When Mo gets back, we discpver Baboosh has an earache AND a virus, which causes the dictors to tell her she's lucky, but it could get worse, which causes Mo to get teary wiht worry, which causes me to think it's my fault for touching him too much, which causes 20 minutes of tears and meltdown.

Which causes a phone call from Tampa to try to calm us down.

The sickness causes us to spend a lot of time at Walgreens, which causes us to get a Drive-thru dinner at Wendy's.

Which causes spills, which causes more meltdown.

And I learned mini miracles do happen, like princess telling me she'll take care of sambo, which causes me to finally talk wiht mo to let it all go.

And I learned lessons the hard way, like how hard Mo and Daddy work every day. And in the end that caused us to go to bed, and to try to forget everything that had happened.

Start of a Mini Week

This morning, I just realized, that from last Saturday to next sunday, 9 days btw, there is only three days of school. Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday are in the middle of 2 three-day weekends. ( Friday is "teacher work day") so what to do with all this free time? Maybe I could just spend a day with a ton of video games, trying out all we have. maybe i could do a ton more blogging than i usually do, or try to have a late night. Who knows? All i know is I'm going to take advantage of 2/3 of a long week off as I can.

Oh, yeah and I have a bunch of stuff due coming up. Ugh. "Free time" is not free time anymore.

Driving Along...

Um, can I just say that babooshka is NOT I repeat NOT an enjoyer of car trips. Um, can I say one more thing, that babooshka's gums are NOT I repeat NOT strong enough to suck a binky. So in the end, you either hold his binky in for 10-minute periods, or listen to him cry. It ended up a combo of both. But hey, after 8 hrs. in the car in a 30 hr. mini- trip, we're lucky nobody got hurt and nobody went completely insane.

3 hours to Burley. Whoever finds entertainment in reading about Isreal is the most easily-entertained person on the planet. True, I did enjoy reading about and studying histioric Christian sights,but still, who really likes this stuff! It was my book report book,so I just had to endure it. Here's what I got out of the timeline and most of the captions

One group killed another group, and then they stayed there for a few decades, until a group came back and killed them again.

But I got it finished. But then, I REALLY had to go to the bathroom. So I just kept my legs shaking until I was able to run inside the house and tinkle.

1 hour to Gooding- The 1 hour video game hour. Sam Fisher came along, so we played games on the iPod and DS. That's it!! Well, actually I just proved myself wrong. I did learn about my journey on Boy Scouts Of America.

4 hours back home again- Babooshka cried. I read. Harry Potter was blaring. That is all I remember.

Oh and PS,

10 minutes ago was the chosen time. The time where the Potty Movie goes back to the library.

Hopefully, he got something out of it, and he can continue a normal POTTY TRAINED life.

My First Post Labled Vacation!

It's time for a look at the fun in the vacation capital of the world... SOUTHERN IDAHO!!! OK, so maybe it may not be your first image that comes to mind when you think "luxury vacation" but it does come too mind when you think "cousin cabanza" or WEPR for short. This isn't even a official WEPR, but Grandma A's birthday wish was to see grandkids, so this post is from a Super 8. Not much room at grandpa's house, for this fam, folks. Yesterday we had homeade pulled pork sandwiches, chips, and salad for dinner. Followed by homeade brownies with John John Leprecaun's famous frostind. You know a brownie is gonna be good when 1/2 the brownie is chocolate frosting, Julie remarked. Atta girl Julie, you have figured out dessert tip 101-

If you want a brownie, no, just any dessert, to taste good, add a thick layer of chocolate frosting.

Yet, we didn't just go there to eat food, believe or not. Shockingly, we did other stuff too.

Like engaging conversations with adults + older cousins. And a shocking game of Movie Studio, where we had a lot of fun "filming" an action movie. Grandma A has a huge barn, so we can play it again with Fishers, Jacee, and Lehi Petersens.

Well, I'm off to the Continental breakfast. Cousins are coming at 9 to swim, and then we'll have a brunch. After play time, it's to the party!! Hooray!! Then, it's to the 3 hr. drive home. Ugh.

From my iPod. Love this thing!!!!

Ah, Babooshka

Well, I guess this is my last chance to blog before we leave for a mini-trip. Explain on Sunday, when we're back. Anyways, I realize I haven't kept you very updated on Baboosh. Lest just say, easiest baby ever. He smiles daily. He makes te best baby coos EVER. Goo goo ga ga has never been more appropriate. Does he have his moments? Yes. Does he wake up in the night? triple yes. But every time he smiles, our follows you with his eyes, or just doggon sits there, it makes you giddy and wonder why you don't add babies to the family every day. You just want to capture them in a jar, and keep it forever and ever, until finally in the end of time, when you wonder what life's purpose is, you let it all go, and keep it there until you're ready to wave goodbye. He can hardly take a bottle when he's in a good mood, his smile is so wide. Every moment with him is a treasure. I will always remember that. Always.

It's Official

After reading grueling "Curse you potty training posts" written by Jen and Julie, I knew teaching SamMan how to poo-poo in the potty would not be fun. At all. So when we decided that SamMan needed to learn, I offered Mo to be a team member so she could curse potty training publicly. She said no. She says that I do her blogging for her. Her loss, I guess. Anyway, we decided to start off by getting THE POTTY MOVIE from the library. I don't know what it is about the cheesiness and utter stupidity about that movie, but SamMan has watched that movie an unpresidented 12 times. (Ok fine, 11.) He's on 13. (I give up, 12th). Yesterday we got out the Sesame Street toilet cover and had him sit. No poo or tinkle. But hey, for a first weekend, that's pretty good. He wasn't enthusiastic about the potty idea, but as he watched The Potty Movie 80 billion times, he decided to be like his new favorite movie character Henry, and try it out. I'm going to leave you with an idea of how bad the potty movie really is. The song in the movie's chorus goes like this:

Bye- Bye pee pee.

Bye-Bye poo.

Bye-Bye diapers.

Now I'm through with you.

Do you see what I'm dealing with here?

SamMan and The Lengendary Gallery of Youth and Silliness

Good Day.
you can't control me.


Whoa!

Hello, Bench.

It's been great meeting you!

Tee Hee!

I didn't do it.

Thanks for the effort,but it's my ball.

Goodbye, happiness.

Sad!

HUH!! A BALL!

Samuel, You need to make good choices.

Life is hilarious. Most of the time.

I give up!

Determination

Silliness

Youth

NOT A GREAT START

YESTERDAY, I had a searing headache. We thought it went away, so I went to school. It came back. Mo was outside playing with SamMan, so I didn't get ahold of her. I finally decided to call her again after Lunch. I had to be checked out, and took a nap. Now, it's better. I really hope this won't happen again. I had to make up a lot of work, and I havn't even gotten my Homeroom work yet.

Back To Life.

We're back into real life. Tomorrow, no more hanging out. We have to be out the door, walking to school by 8:05. It's really quite sad, actually. Today we must enjoy every minute of our day, because it's going to be back to life tomorrow. Even on weekends and short holidays, winter break is always best. No homework to worry about. Snowy weather. holiday season. looong. Back to life tomorrow.

sad.

Birthday Party!!!!

I had a great birthday. I will add photos and videos from all of our December Fun all throughout next week. We purposely didn't plan much, so we all just had fun playing with each other. We had a lot of fun with Rock Band,the Wii, and Last Word. Everybody loved the Cafe Rio food. We were all screaming and having a good time when we played LAST WORD. If you don't know what that is, think of it as a combination of Catch Phrase and Scattegories. Mo made her famous poppyseed cake. I got iTunes money, real money, Yahtzee, and Battleship Torpedo. All in all, it was a big hit. My two closest neighbors stayed for an extra hour!!! I wanted our Christmas decorations up for the party, but now they're on the table, soon to be put into boxes. It's kind of sad, because this week real life sort of slapped us in the face. New Years Day was the last holiday of the "Holidays." The party was the last chunk of my birthday. (it came in chunks.) The Christmas decorations are down.

And now, today is the last day of Winter Vacation. Back to student life for me. NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

ajgaouigjafginarigobaborabg: THE POST

adgiupghpiruguapwegpuaghesdhpi explains the theme of this post. There isn't a theme!! I just decided to push a buttons and see how went. If adfpadugapgpaeugiaegioubadgs doesn't wake you up from computer daze, you need to go to bed. Quickly. If you didn't have to go to bed, please enjoy adgpuhpqergigbbgbuqrbubgqru, the post about nothing. Find a way how. Because if I told you a way, that would make sense, remember? Catching On? hope not. did you know that i have a bussiness? it's called fat cow. i'll tell you about it later. because this is agjdnpiugnpugrqpgupqbgqegpr23232323232, the post about nothing. and fat cow is something. isn't it? Maybe I could make adgpuhqpiguriguhhgrpeghrqgrhpq: The Movie. Fat Cow could make it. Doh! I am breaking many codes of adbgoigubadfadgibgbgbububuigsubg40912ll" right now. I'll tell you more later. but I can't right now. because that would make sense. and this is a post about nothing.

no progress zone

Wow, all over winter break, I've accomplished ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! I've kept the house clean. That's it! Neither of the two resolutions even got started. Goodbye, first Beauty and the Jogus event. goodbye, organized basement.

i have my birthday party today, though.


that's not a time when you accomplish things

Ah Man, Time To Complete 2 Resolutions?

It's JANUARY 2ND, and we are already planning to complete one resolution as a family, and one resolution hopefully as a family. We are going to organize the disastorous basement today. And I need help remembering what we did in January 08 so that I can start my first Beauty and the Josgus event. It's not easy to be productive when there so many fun, uproductive things around you. Like my iPod. My unproductive, awesome, iPod.

Happy New Year!

Wow, 2009! 2008 has been, well, an interesting year to say in the least. I am pleased to announce the arrival of: THE VERY FIRST BEAUTY AND THE JOGUS EVENT!! Starting tommorow, I will collect memories and photos for each month for twelve days. Parents and siblings might even get involved!

thanks for helping beauty and the jogus become a reakity. Without support from friends and family, I'd just be a crazy little human on my Dell wondering if I got any comments. I still am, but still...
