Why Me????

Well, so far this week has been super busy!! sunday started out normal until we found out that Eliza had pink eye and couldn't go to church. Of course, Eliza was to scared to stay home alone by herself so my dad had to stay with her and then they met Jon at church and Dad headed off to PA and Jon and Eliza went home.
After church i found out that we were going home and then going to the Brown's ( a family at our church) to visit for a while. Susannah and Abby were gonna go with the Browns and mom and I were gonna go home first. Change of plans. Valerie wanted me to go home with her so off we went. I got to meet their granny and when Mr. Brown asked her how old she thought i was. She said Valerie's age and Valeries 24!!!!! When everyone started laughing she asked if i was around 15 and i quickly told her yes.
When we finally got to the Browns house Ben, Valerie and I made ice cream. It was amazing!!! When it got dark Valerie and i went out to spin. Then we got on the merry-go-round and spun ourselves but we wanted to go faster so we went and got David and Stephen to spin us. OMW!!! they spun us so fast and we felt sooo sick afterwards. Then we went inside and talked till valerie had to home (she lives with her great great aunt) My mom got there at like 8:00 and her and Mrs. Brown got to chatting. At around ten i was soooo tired. Ben tried to keep me awake and he gave me an energy drink but it really didn't help. At around 11 they finally noticed me falling asleep at the table and my mother took pity and we finally said our goodbyes and left. I didn't want to go back for quite a while.
Monday evening we went to a Bible Study at Calvary and we left right afterwards and i went to bed asap..i was so tired from staying up late the night before.
Tuesday started out normal (notice a pattern here???) and i decided to go to bb gun with my little sisters. Well, at around 10 a.m. my mom told me we were going to help plant potatoes with the Browns. At first i could only think of Sunday but when mom told me we were doing it at Tommy's house ( he's one of the Browns but he's at college) i was cool with it. Then i got there and had a lot of fun with Ben (until Stephen told me that the fertilizer smelled really good and me, the unsuspected poor soul that i am, took a huge whiff of it. i was never the same again. lol) After that i got ready to leave with my mom but she wanted me to go with Mrs. Brown and help her out. I went along willingly because my mother said she was gonna take the kids to bb gun and when it was over drop Anna Brown off, pick me up, and we were all gonna go home. It seemed like a plan. I went and i made brownies and helped out around the house. My mom got back at around 9 and she said we were gonna leave pretty soon but they wanted to talk for a little while. WHATEVER!!!!!! if your mother ever tells you that and if shes anything like mine, don't believe her!!! While we were waiting we went up stairs and i found Ben's airsoft gun. hehehehe don't worry, whenever i hit someone, it was because i was trying to get the stupid thing to work and i wasn't watching where i was pointing it...well...most of the time. lol After a while we got bored and went outside to go on the merry-go-round ( i never seem to learn from my mistakes). Stephen and Ben pushed us till i almost fell off.(gracefully, of course.)lol Then Stephen dropped his thingy for his gun and we looked for that for a while. We finally gave up and we all went quietly inside..well until Stephen shot me with a rubberband for shooting him earlier. It was an accident. I swear!!!! Then it was war..lol. I ran and got Ben's gun and Stephen went and got his other gun. I ran up to the bedroom to get pellets or whatever you call them and he cornered me and shot at the floor next to my feet. then he finally hit me and then shut me up in the room. Finally i got out and chased him throughout the house to the basement stairs where i hit him and he hit me...he's such a loser and i told him as much but my mom said to be nice. Is it still being mean when you say it sarcastically??? After a while we went back outside and now David was home so all three of the boys pushed us on the merry-go-round. once again i almost fell off through the opening in between the bars and they finally stopped. At around 10 we got all of our stuff together and went home. I was so tired once again and all i could think of on the way home was "Why Me??" not that i have anything against the Browns of course, they're tons of fun to be with. It was only that i was going to be in bed later then eleven once again..sigh. Oh well, thats life i guess.
Now i have to go get ready to go to church and guess who I'll see there, the Browns!!!! lol Well, i guess i'll ttyl

KFC News

Friday night Hannah and Charity Miller, Margaret Brown, and Eliza, Catherine, Susannah and I all had a wonderful time at my house. We went riding together and made a movie. We did a talkshow on the effects that cowtipping has on global warming and Margaret was an amazing KFC news anchor and Hannah was Bob, the man who assured us that cowtipping really does have an effect on the warming of the globe. Catherine was the professional cowtipper who was wondering were all the heat and energy that went into tipping a cow went. She decided that it must be global warming. Then we did a commercial about the supercalifragilisticexpialidocious network...the song goes "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, even though the sound of it is something quite atrosicous! You will never drop a call from someone whos precocious! Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!! Its the network! We also did a commercial about the movie Oklahoma and Eliza tried to do the part of the saleswoman but after messing up about 4 times she finally cracked and Hannah took over. Hannah only messed up once when she couldn't remember what her promotional line was. lol Then KFC news returned to discuss the origin of rednecks. Bob let us know that when he thought of rednecks he thought of something earthy, sometimes muddy, with a beatup pickup truck full of garbage and a beer in one hand and a cigarette in the other. Eliza was Geraldine, the rednecker who kept her Christmas lights on her front porch all year long and who had a plow in the middle of her front yard with cute little bunny rabbits all over it. :) We had to do that scene over about five times because Margaret couldn't stop laughing. When we finally decided to do it only once more she still laughed when she introduced Geraldine. Next time we get together we are gonna do The Phantom of the Opera. That should be funny. until next time

well today me and my sisters Susannah and Eliza went trailriding. We saddled up the three horses, reagan, queenie, and pepsi and off we went on our adventure. We made our way up the mountian and had several mishaps on the way up. First, my horse Quennie tripped and slipped on the mud and was on her knees with me on top hanging on for dear life. Then we learned that Eliza's and my horse didn't like puddles and decided to walk around them. My darling horse walked off the trail and into the woods and nearly brushed me off two or three times. Susannah's horse pepsi of course was a perfect little angel and walked right through the big bad puddles and would you look at that!! She survived!!!!!! then there was a huge tree in the middle of the trail and Eliza made it through fine but do you think i did? Of course not. Queenie would not stand for that!!
At the top there was the most beautiful view of the mountians and fields..and cows..and other common livestock. On the way down we had to get off to go under the tree again and queenie wouldn't stand still and i couldn't get back on. eliza got back on reagan and then took Queenie's reins so that i could get on. Reagan wouldn't stand still and so i was hopping around with one foot still in the stirrup. When i finally got on Eliza still had the reins and when she tried to toss them to me they dropped. queenie decided to start walking down the trail and she walked through several branches on her way with me (i admit it) yelling the whole time. Eliza Finally caught up to us and grabbed the reins and handed them to me. We got down with no further mishaps and went through some creeks which Queenie and Reagan strangely enough walked through.
When we finally got home we cooled them off and then helped my dad with the garden. Then i took a nice hot shower and here i am, clean and happy, writing on my blog. Well i need to go so until next time.

This is my first time blogging and i'm not very good at it so bear with me. Today we had a typical Monday.. rainy and boring. I did school, did chores, and absolutely nothing else. Tomorrow my dear little sisters have bb gun and are quite good at shooting my enemies so beware.lol Tomorrow its supposed to be sunny so i can show off my superior horse riding skills. (i'm super good at being brushed off) Yesterday we had church and several of us hotheaded teens had a heated discussion on which truck is better..dodge or chevy. dodge is obviously superior..and prettier..lol. now you guys kno what we do for entertainment.
This summer i may be going to a camp in Kentucky to work for like 10 weeks and i will be gone all summer..no breaks to come home at all..sry Em!!! Its super pretty there and i've heard that its a lot of fun.. especially if you are where God wants you to be! Mostly it consists of cooking, cleaning, and helping around the camp. I've heard the boys do a ton of work so i will try not to complain when i get back about how hard i worked. :) no guarantees though!!!
Well, thats probably the most i've ever typed about my self at one time. and i'm only doing this cuz i feel stupid with nothing on my blog (thank you Emily) when inspiration hits me i shall try again. tata for now
