I am way to busy.
Monday: School, Babysit for church
Tuesday: School, Babysit for Kathy
Wednesday: School, Peggy's small group or The Love Alliance
Thursday: School
Friday: School, Babysit for Kathy
Saturday: Every other week Babysit for Shannon
Sunday: Sunday Morning Bible Study,Church/Childcare, The Stirring
I have no time for rest, it is so hard for me to say no. Over the summer I had two people that wanted me to babysit for them, and instead of saying o to one of them I said that I'd work for both.
Mon:Kathy
Tues:Kathy
Wed:Kathy
Thurs:Shannon
Fri:Shannon
Sat:Every other week Shannon
Sun: Nothing...yet
I feel good that I will be making bank this summer, but is it really worth it?
I said yes because the one family goes through babysitters like nothing, and I didn't want to be the flaky one for the kids. I never had a babysitter, and if I did I know that I wold at least want someone that stayed around for a while.
Kathy was talking to me and saying something about maybe taking on a 9 hour shift. 9 hours! With 3 kids! 3 days a week!
And on top of it I said I would do West Oakland and Las Vegas! What is my problem?
I don't know what to do.
My friends. I'm not sure if they'll miss me, But I know I'll be missing them.
God's given me this amazing job opportunity, but I need to say no to something.
I just don't know what yet.

....Get it?
Today I became someone I was not.
I protested.
I didn't want to.
I gave in.
I didn't realize how powerful peer pressure was. I usually stay away from the 'classic' peer pressure issues.
I was a jerk.
I'm so frustrated, I knew I shouldn't have said what I said, but everyone was telling me to. They told me to grow some balls, ironic I know. I was mad.
Everyone said, I needed to say it, but I didn't.
I'm sorry, I'm a wuss, maybe I'm feeling bad for something that's not a big deal to everyone else. But I feel bad about things that would make me feel bad, if they were done to me.
...Get it?
I've been made fun of on many occasions. Maybe I am a wuss, or maybe I'm just not accustom to getting hurt.
Either way I need to make some changes.

My summing up what I've been meaning to write
So much is happening in my life and I don't know how to sum it up. I keep on meaning to right a blog but I'm either to frustrated or to lazy
So here's a list to keep me on track.
Dad.
Truck.
Youth Group.
Dad. My father is now going on SSC disability. Which means we don’t' have insurance, a nd he legally does not have to pay child support. It's so frustrating, last week he called me to come out and talk to him, so I did. When I got out there we had some small talk, and then he said "I've been a bad dad and I'm sorry, I just hope you can understand..." this is where I thought 'Oh maybe something will change!' NOPE! then he says, "I'm just sick, your father has a mental illness. It's not his fault. I'm just really sick."
WRONG ANSWER! Oh, it made me so mad. for once I thought that my dad was going to change that I was going to be able to have a relationship with him. Nope, he's just sick. But he's only sick because he's over dousing on his med's and downing it with a beer.
For some reason his new 'sickness' covers up for the last 17 years of my life that he hasn't been there.
I start feeling bad because I start thinking that it's my fault. 'I never was there for him, I was never a real daughter.' But I think again he's my dad, isn't he supposed to be helping me not the other way around?
My Truck. I GOT IT! And it works, for now, and I have my stereo! I'm really nervous that it's going to die, because everything that I get either dies, or something happens to it. But it's a really ugly crappy truck, but I love it!!!! I feel very cool....until I step outside and realize everyone else thinks I stole my truck from a hobo. But I still love it.

Fairy Tales
Fairy Tales: noun, a imaginative place where everything goes the way the specific person wants it to be.
Fairy Tales suck.
Because they never happen.
No matter how much you wish on a magic lamp...a genie is not coming out too give you three wishes.
It doesn't matter how crappy your day is, your Fairy Godmother will not turn mice into horses and a pumpkin into a carriage, and give you a whole new look just to get you to the party that night.
But sometimes you wish that way.
And when realization hits, it sucks

College
It's a big, well little, ugly word.
It means: Mom's not paying anymore, all gas money is coming out of your pocket, the new concept of Rent, it means no one is waiting up for you when you get home at 1 in the morning. No more parents calling to make sure you're okay, no more homemade food. No more getting up to the smell of breakfast on the stove.
It my case it means: Oregon, warm apartment, my own car, my own groceries, my own gas. I even have to make my own healthy food if I don't want to get fat. New 20 pound school books, that cost an arm and a leg. It means I have to find a job... in a city I've never been to. Finding friends at a school where no one has lived in Cottonwood.
How is this going to happen.
I'm a Mammas girl.
My closet friends are either going to be in Redding or Sac.
Maybe I shouldn't go....
Maybe I need to learn how to grow up and move out.
Maybe I'm going to miss the four of us hanging out 5 nights a weeks.
The Haddletons house at 1 in the morning.
Worrying about friends.
Worrying about friends friends.
Getting spit at in JCPennys.
Finding me a boyfriend.
Micah wanting to find me a boyfriend.
Veronica and Steven bickering.
Cassie's house.
Cameron saving us.
Running the quad into a tree.
Watching that stupid Zohan movie.
Deciding where to eat.
Watching Emily take her first steps.
Seeing my brother mature.
Watch to see when the boys start liking girls.
The fighting when we decide what movie to watch.
Roger.
Mom.
Josh.
Grandma.
Aunt Ginni.
Grandpa.
Brandon.
Justin.
Uncle Brian.
Emily.
Emilee.
Ashton.
Riley.
Veronica.
Micah.
Steven.
Kayla.
Jess.
Carly.
Cameron.
Joe.
And of course pretzel boy.
College.
