Life In The Oyster

A Post

You're right Marlow. I do need to post. My computer is still acting all weird, but when we took it in to be fixed, it was normal. Stupid thing. So I'm working on the family computer that I must pry away from Anastasia.

Let's see........... Christmas. We went to the Christmas eve service at our church, then went home and went to Midnight Mass with Brian and Tim. That was interesting. We didn't get home until 4 AM. Then four hours later we were up opening presents. My mom says Faith and hayden were up earlier at like 6, but they lay down and went back to sleep (Thank you!). I was so tired at eight, I went back to bed until 3 after we finished. Our Church didn't have a service, which irks me. I think I went over that already though. Then my aunt and uncle and grandparents came over, and Brian and we played games and Uncle Barry played the guitar and I sang. Uncle Barry is an exceptional guitarist. We're going to have a music night at his House soon. :-D There are few things better than that.

And..... Let's see. The week has been pretty uneventful. Sunday Bethany and I went hiking with, guess who, that's right Brian and Tim. I think we need to get a life or something. Anyway. We went to the forest down here by us, which Jason might remember. That was fun. Beth and I took off and they couldn't find us. (They say they weren't looking, whatever) That was enjoyable. Bethany and I got to do some talking. Haha. THen we went back and they'd moved the car and climbed up trees. We taught them how to play MASH. :-D And we made Tim watch A Walk to Remember. It's a great joke, because our dad has said some of the things her dad says. And we're not allowed to date either. We are a bit disapointed in her attitude about it. It's not the end of the world. Golly. *rolls eyes*

And............ Tim came over yesterday and showed the boys and faith how to wrap their hands for the new punching bag that they got. You'd be surprised that he knows how to, He and Brian have scabbed up knuckles from theirs. Crazy boys. We taught him to play a new game and we played Rummy and then after dinner we took a plate up to Brian who was sad that he couldn't come too. He has to work ALL the time. We put tiny portions of food on his plate. The real plate was left in the car. He was so disapointed. :-D

I saw King Kong. SCARY!!!! ARHRHRHHHH!!!! I spent half of it with my eyes closed. I must thank you all because it was on your recomendation that Faith stayed home. It was too scary for her to see.

The Nanny Job fell through, which is something of a relief. IT was really messing uop my schedule and stressing me out and I hadn't even met the family yet.

Ok. there a post. An awful one, I apologize.


Oh yeah. One last thing. We live in a not so great neighborhood. The "Ghetto" is just down the street. LOL. Anyway, you know, you don't take walks at night, basically. Actually, I was at the Chinese place the other day and there were some guys there talking about drugs. Yeah anyway, not so hot neighborhood. So last tuesday the boys were out playing and riding their bikes at the church next door. Suddenly Hayden comes running inside crying and babbling. My mom can't understand what he's saying, so Fletcher comes in after him and his questioned, and come to find out, Hayden's been shot. Yeah. They think it was a highpowered BB gun or this special kind of handgun for shooting groundhogs and such. IT was shot from across the street, and they couldn't see whoever it was. Anyway, he has a big bruise and a scratch, not a bullet embedded in him or anything, but they aren't so eager to play outside anymore.

I think I"ve got to go to work now. Take care you all. :)
