I have 3 more days being home. I have mixed feeling about this. Last summer by this time I was so ready to go back, but I'm going to be incredibly sad leaving my house and family this time. Maybe because I was not here for almost all of May due to schlepping about the beautiful British Isles. Or maybe partly because my family and I went through so much together in June that really brought us closer together. I suppose days and days of sitting in a hospital room together watching your dear, dear grandmother die can do that. Not that we usually don't get along or anything, but we all spent a lot time comforting one another and going through a whole new experience together. I came home to see my little brothers not so little anymore and witnessed how mature they have become especially when dealing with grandmother - choosing to come and sit so patiently at the hospital for hours, learning how to properly turn her in her hospital bed, and participating in the funeral. Yep, I'm going to miss them no matter how annoying they can be sometimes :)
I'm glad I'm not an only child.
It was my second summer of working at the same horrible daycare. I stressed over it at first, but eventually realized that sure wasn’t helping anything (duh). I did what I had to do, tried to have fun with my little class of 1-2 year olds, and learned a lot of patience. I sure am going to miss a couple (not all!) of my babies I was with daily.
Contrary to what the first few sentences say, I am very excited about getting back to Fl. It will be lovely to be back in our happy little apartment with five wonderful friends and rabbit, to be able to sleep in my own bed in my room, and to start classes. But, of course, getting to see Aaron again is at the top of my list!
The next few days will be spent trying to pack everything back into my suitcase, shopping (which will not help me in the packing process!) eating lunch with my aunt, going to a gospel meeting where my parents will meet Aaron’s parents, and spending time with family.
That was long. Probably too long, and full of mistakes that I may, or may not, fix later.
May your day be filled with things not so boring as this blog!
Thanks! I can't wait til you get back! I saw no mistakes; good job! I've got to hang around a LOT in Riverchase and spent some time in your apt when Whitney and Caroline was there for a while. Don't worry, I didn't trash it....too much. ;) jkjk Lord willing, since all of the physics-ness is over, I can hang around my girls again! At least this time with teaching, people can actually give me some pointers. Physics...not so much. ;) Have a great trip!!!
I'm going to miss you! I'm sad we didn't get to spend much time together. I was going to go to OAR tonight for church, but I ended up staying home. Maybe we can meet up at Hastings for a while when I get off of work tomorrow.. if you aren't too busy since I know you leave Tuesday.. I think. anyways.. I'll call you later.
Sonya, I have been staring at the comment you left on my blog trying to figure out how to say "I'm looking forward to seeing you, too" and not sound completely stupid. I finally just smacked my forehead and admitted that there is such a thing as thinking too much. :P See you soon.
I'm glad that I'm going too! Now the 18 hour trip... I'm not looking forward to so much. Although me and Jeremy will probably get into some crazy theological discussions... I hope you have a good trip!
at a get together today there was a boy swinging and kicking her mom. everyone was telling him to stop. he wouldn't, so I just grabbed the swing and made him. he got up and stormed off.
a little later I found him sulking and asked, "are you mad at me?"
his reply - yelling very loudly - "YES!!...you're...you're a GIRL!"
happily back to him I said, "Yes. Yes, I am. Thank you."
i wonder if he had been thinking up that insult for long, or if was just the first bad thing that came to his mind!
Yep, I did. (727)545-0120--I believe that's the customer service line. I would call them, but you may know more about the situation. I can e-mail you all the info on the bill if you want.
Yes! I read it a long time ago (actually, my mom read it aloud to us kids), but I can't remember all the details so I decided to read it again. Let me know what you think! :)
I had a the same response from a cousin of mine when we were lining up to play football! I toasted him (he was a little guy at the time, of course) to prove my worthiness! : ) Good for you to make him stop, too.
1 and 2 yr olds and spaghetti! Isn't life fun! Take pictures so you can reflect on this summer job and vow never to do it again until they are your own 1 & 2 year olds.
hey we on on at the same time :) actually we didn't go. I'm not sure what happened! i couldn't get a hold of her afterwards. it was weird. i'm at home vegging now :)
Once upon a time, not so long ago, I lived in an apartment with 5 other crazy girls. 1 wasn't so crazy to begin with, but that didn't last long. we're very influencial people.
Anyways, once again, I'm now in wonderful Texas with my amazing family. I love my family dearly. I love cooking dinner and pie for them and going to louisiana with them and seeing how much my brothers are growing up and driving a pick up truck and listening to country music and counting down the days until aaron comes and reading..
However, my family (minus warren, but he's at camp) is not crazy. At least not 'it's midnight let's make macaronni and cheese and watch the Lion King' crazy. or "i'm too tired to talk out loud to you and we're sitting about two feet away from each other, so let's just use skype" crazy.
I think remaining content would be a good idea.
I think I finally got a job. It's at the ever so ghetto-fabulous (i learned that phrase from ally. she goes to a public college) daycare that i worked at last summer. Once we went to the skating rink. The kids from the high class daycares that had name tags with THEIR names on them and matching shirts thought they were cool. psh. My kids knew ALL the words AND dances to the rap songs that played. they're cultured.
I'm pretty sure that this all is coming from my brain the way it is is due to having to act normal for too long. I think I may regret posting this in the morning.
Oh well.
Goodnight and good summer!
we were talking about the skating rink the other day at work.. and about how they always played "gangsta's paradise". :) haha. i hope everything is going alright in Louisiana and that you'll come home so we can hang out some!
Haha. I like you Sonya. Bless you and your exuberant spirit. I need to come over to your house when you get home and we can make Macaroni & Cheese at Midnight and watch a Disney movie. Oh and you can do the "Thriller" dance with me and Beth! It's hard, but definitly crazy. We've been practicin our faces off. And once I get my laptop back we can Skype in the same room again. Anyway, I miss you and I'm thinking about you and your family during this hard time.
