ARRRGGGG! The house is SO noisy right now! I just want to lock my self in a room and read. But even if I did I would hear all the noise because the piano is right next to my room and Dana is POUNDING on it! I am really grumpy. This morning was very nice. School is back, so it was just the gang of four again and the house was nice and clean. I was able to lounge on the couch and read a wonderful book. But as soon as everyone came home the house fell apart. Maleny was constantly whining, my parents had gone on a date, David was running around with nothing on except a diaper, Dana wasn't feeling good so she spent most of the day downstairs in bed, and Clara was playing her flute for TWO STRAIGHT HOURS! I can't stand listening to a flute for more then a half an hour so two hours is WAY more then I can stand. I decided that I wouldn't care if I EVER heard the flute again.
I don't know why I'm so upset, other then all the noise. It's not like I had to take care of everything my self. In fact, it was just the opposite. Maleny and David played by them self's for almost all the day and didn't need very much assistants at all. I pretty much ignored the messy house. I didn't do anything! Maybe thats what's bothering me. I didn't DO anything about the problems even though I should of. And the things I didn't need to get in to, I did. So there were a lot of arguments. *SIGH* another thing that happened today that made me really sad was that I found out that my favorite author (Lloyd Alexander) died last year on May 17 and I totally missed it! It made me very sad. I could have gone to mass for him and made sure he got to heaven! I'm sure he got to heaven anyway, but I still wish I could have offered a mass up to him. *sniff* He was 83 and he died of cancer. Sadness.
And to top my whole bad day off, I didn't practice because I felt that if I heard one more noise my head would explode! So know I'm beating my self up about it but I STILL wont do it! Now how silly is that?! GRRRRRRRR
Ok I think I am going to talk about good things that happened to me today.
My cousins landed safely in Spokane. They called us from the air port to say hi to us. it made me happy. even though we didn't get to see them right away, I got to hear their voices. So that was good.
I had some wonderful reading time that I enjoyed thoroughly. Always a high point.
:D
DAVID IS REALLY REALLY CUTE! :P
The snow was very pretty today. I sat next to the window earlier today and just stared at it for a good 20 minutes. *sigh* That was nice.
okay I think I'm done ranting now. I really need to go to bed. Blah............ hmmm bed is nice. The word sounds wonderfully comfortable. like if it was written out in big, round letters, I would want to lounge on it. *giggles*
Have a wonderful sleep everyone!

RANDOM!
"He eats little BUNNY'S dipped in dirt, and he likes frog children for dessert!"
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! I've had this line stuck in my head all day. It's from a show I was in a few years back. A Year With Frog and Toad. It's a wonderful play. I love it. you should check it out someday. :)

Life
David is running around the basement with some of dads bike tools. That can't be good.
Out side the snow is falling very thick and fast. It almost feels like a blizzard. (not like I've ever been in a blizzard.....) :P I tried to go out side and work on the snow fort but the wind was blowing so much I had to go inside. This is very odd Spokane weather. Usually, we get a few sprinkles in December, and then we get about five inches in January and then it gets sunny and melts the snow. This year it is very different. We didn't get any sprinkles in December. In stead we got five inches on the first snow and then it melted right before Christmas and then snowed like crazy on Christmas night. and since then we have been getting on and off dumping. I have a crazy feeling school wont be opening again for at least two days. But thats just a hunch. :D
I have nothing what so ever to do so here I am on my dad's computer typing about the weather. ?????? WHAT EVER CC!
I wanted to get away from all the noise of the house so I came down to the basement. Little did I know that the little monster was following me.....
Anyway! My cousins from New Orleans are coming up tomorrow! I am SO excited. Four of them are adopted from china and one is from Korea. It's pretty awesome. We have a lot of fun with them.
I have a piano lesson today! YAY! I'm having a lot of fun with them. I feel sorry for Mr. Baldwin though. We were having my lesson last week and all the sudden we hear Clara shouting "WHY IS THERE PIZZA DOUGH IN THE TOILET?!" Now, what happened there was that dad found some kind of old formula in the basement, and being my dad, thought the best way to get rid of it was to flush it down the toilet... But it didn't exactly go down.... and apparently it looked like pizza dough. Yeaaaahh. I think Mr. Baldwin was a little freaked out. It was pretty funny. :P

SNOW!
I was going to post a picture of the beautiful snow but apparently my computer is freaking out and wont let me. dang.
Well, it's wonderful! There is about a foot of snow on the ground and more to come this week. All the schools closed today except Gonzaga and G prep. Even SFCC closed which is pretty much a miracle. So my sisters had a wonderful snowy day off except Dana who goes to Gonzaga. It was a very good day.
Me and my dad built the start of a snow fort yesterday. it was pretty much amazing. My Dad doesn't play in the snow with us very often so it was really special. We have a old photo of my three older sisters and my dad next to a snow fort that they built. I was only one or two at the time so I don't remember it. I used to look at it all the time and wish that dad would do that again. And then yesterday he did. We had a good time.
I've been reflecting a lot on my past winters. Maleny reminds me so much of me sometimes. And I remind my self of Clara a lot which isn't so much of good thing. I remember me and clara used to race out side bear foot on the first snow day to see who would be the "first brave one". The first brave one was the girl who would step in the snow without shoes first and stayed there the longest. It usually happened first thing in the morning. I got there first most of the time but Clara would run around the house so she won the "stay there the longest" part. Maleny usually gets up really late so we don't do that anymore. I would ALWAYS win other wise. When I was Maleny's age my sisters didn't go to school so I would usually wake up early on the first snow and wake everyone up with a loud "IT'S SNOWING!!!!!!!". One of my fondest memories. :D I got to do this again this year except it was night time so everyone was already awake. :P It was really fun.
Anyway! On New Years day we all drove up to my great Aunt Perky's house, about a half an hour past Deer Park, to go sledding. There was about 2 feet of snow and the hills were extremely steep. It was awesome. At first there was this nice little hill that was steep, but not too steep, and then at the end it dropped off to a VERY steep hill. It was SO scary. Karen went down it first thinking it was just the not too steep part and then all the sudden she disappeared. It was so funny and scary at the same time. But then we all went down it, including the steep part, and had a blast. I felt like toad sledding down the hill. Good times. :)
Well, I can't think of anything else to say. This was a very pointless post and it probably didn't make any sense to anyone but me. But isn't that what blogs are for? :P

Music!
I start my first piano lesson today! I am SO excited. I've had piano lessons before about 4 or five years ago, but I was too lazy so my mom pulled me out. :P last year was the first time I actually worked really hard at it so my mom decided it was time to put me back in. Then right after Christmas I had my friend over and I found out that her dad teaches piano! Talk about good timing! And her dad is a really cool guy so I am really excited. Proof that God loves me! :D My Uncle Donald is a famous pianist. I like to think that someday I will be too.

My reflections on 2007.
Well, 2007 is over. I can hardly believe it. Wow. This has been a big year for me.
In January my grandparents died so till about November we were trying to sell their estate. That was a HUGE project. We still have one or two things we have to sell.
From the middle of march to the beginning of may we were getting our floor refinished so we had to move every thing out and in again. Another really big project. And while that was going on, me and Clara were in Children's theaters Cinderella. Mom was also working on a paper she had to write for her school that she goes to three times a year in Pittsburgh, so we had to take care of my little brother while she studded. AND Karen was working on a retreat for the club she leads and that is always a hectic for us even if we are not getting our floor refinished! YICKS! But every thing turned out wonderfully and our floor looks very nice. So even if it was really hard, God worked it out.
In June I got my braces and I was attending my 5th level swimming lessons which I passed. This year I am going to start life guard training. I am very excited.
In July I started my first summer job. I read to three little 6 year old's for a half an hour or till they got tired. That sure went by fast! By the middle of August there was a argument between my mother and a little girls mother about how much I was getting a week and in the end, the other mom quit. I still read to the other two (one of which was my sister) for 2 more weeks before the other girl got tired of it and stopped coming.
I also was going to a VBS at the time. That was a BIG culture shock for me. It was as close to going to school that I have ever been. I found out what kids my age are doing now a days. It wasn't fun. But it was good for me because I was starting to think that I wanted to go to school because I didn't feel like I was doing anything with my life and I was kind of frustrated and then I went to that and it made me realize how lucky I am to be home schooled.
August was a wonderful month. Me and Davids Birthday Month. Always very busy but always VERY fun. This year especially because I made a very good friendship that I think I will have forever. Not a boyfriend! Just a good friend.
September was slow. All my older sisters went off to school so I stayed home a lot. But even then I was learning and growing. Being that there was only four people in the house for half of the day there was less noise in the house so I could talk to God more easily. It was nice. On the weekends I got to hang out with my cousins and watch Kendricks foot ball games.
December, God just wanted me to remember that even if things don't go the way we plan or if they have to be a little different then I am used to, it will turn out just fine if I put it in his hands and trust in him. That was one of the big themes in my year.
So that was the run down of my year. I also got to go to Silverwood for the first time in the summer. :D And throughout the year I was going to CYT (Christian youth theater) shows and had a blast at every one on them.
Altogether I feel very blessed to be alive and I believe that 2007s memories will be ones that I will cherish for ever.
Happy New year!
