Katie's Meadow June 23, 2008

Hey all, Here are the pictures from today and yesterday. They are all mixed around though....

Early Sunset

We all know it is coming

and dread it

There is no avoiding it

no matter what

Tears are definate

Yes

The day is coming

Quickly

Like the sunset

In the West

Don't want it to come

but know it will

It's coming

Too Early

Insert title here

I've been super busy lately. It's been kind of nice though. I think I will start with Friday.

Friday we had a garage sale with the neighbors Shelly, Zach and Morgan. So we were with them about everyday for the past week. But then Friday I wasn't really paying attention to the sales. I stayed with the 16 month baby Shelly watches. It's her niece Danielle. She is super cute. I was with her during the day. 

Saturday was more of the garage sale. But the kids weren't there. Me, Zach, Morgan and Hannah all went to Six Flags with my dad. Zach and I went off on our own to do big rides, and my dad stayed with Hannah and Morgan on the little stuff. I was a woosy though(: But it was really fun. We got ice cream from Cold Stone and Zach got me on a a coaster I've never been on, the Viper. :O I think it's my new favorite though... But lets see. Well, we got there around 10:30 and me and Zach went first to the Ragun Cagen. Then we went to Whizzer and Demon. Then we went to this ride that me and Aunt Katie got sick on. Haha, I remember that so vividly. Then we went and met my dad and all the people from my dads work at the place where we ate lunch. Then we went off to the Viper, then Cold Stone, then this thing like a Tilt-A-Whirl. We did that RIGHT after the ice cream. Not very good for my weak stomach. Oh well. ;) Then my dad took the girls home around 4:30. Me and Zach stayed and my mom and Shelly picked us up around 6. It was fun. But I was REALLY tired and my feet REALLY hurt. I have 3 huge blisters on insides of my toes. Ouch.! Then we picked up Chinese after we got picked up and ate together. It was really fun.

Oh and I made $43.75 at the garage sale. Whoo.

Now I'm at grandpa's house. And we are watching Alvin and the Chipmunks. :D

Rock you like a hurricane

Haha. I played Guitar Hero for my first time really yesterday. I played a little Friday, but only once... so I don't count that. 

Last night, my mom, Hannah and I went across the street. And while my mom was with her friends I was with Zach playing Guitar Hero 3. Then I started playing to Rock you Like a Hurricane and my mom screamed "I KNOW THAT SONG! John learned to play it on the guitar" 

John, next time I see you, you should play it for me :)

Oh, then my mom played it. Haha. It was funny, she didn't get the strumming part. 

But last night was stressful too!!! Arg, I won't even get started, just know, Shelly is still stressed from last night. By Shelly, I'm not talking about my mom either, our neighbor is Shelly. Pretty cool(:

Well, that's all for now. I might not post until... eh, Saturday? Unless something exciting happens...

Summer

Just puts you in a good mood, right? I am in the best mood right now. It feels so good to have no worries. & it's nice out!!! I can't sit on the grass, because of the major rains lately, but I can go out side and swing or jump on the trampoline. The sun is up, it's a great day. Minus the clipboard threw at my head earlier today. Yeah, there is NO way I will ever be friends with them again. They threw a clipboard and 2 full notebooks at my head on the bus, great right? Oh well, I smiled and laughed and moved on. 

But I'm going to gooooooo. I will right more, probably later in the night, because I won't want to be outside then. I'm going to go play with my doggy Lily(:

Oh- P.S. I'm officially an 8th grader. :D

Ahah.

I found something else out about the whole sit-e-ation with my ex-friends. I guess Friday after I left school (I came home early with a sore throat), they went to Mrs.Peterson, the counselor I see. Apparently they told her some lies. Man, I am SO sick of the lieing. I can't believe I was part of that group. I told my mom 

"I KNOW I have told the whole truth about this whole thing. I KNOW it." & I'm pretty sure she believes me... ? But anyways, Emma's mom told my mom about this. 

When I got home from school, I told my mom about the name-calling of her. So she called Emma's mom to tell her of her daughters actions. Then I guess her mom called Emma at school and was like "What is this I hear with you guys calling Kayla's mom a b_tch?!" And Emma bursted into tears and started rambling "It wasn't me! I don't even have a problem with Kayla. I'm not mad at her or anything." So now I think Mary believes Emma, not me. When Emma has lied to her... how many times? Eh, atleast 10 times in 2008, and they were BIG LIES. But I know Emma, and I know she would get in HUGE trouble if her mom found proof of her calling my mom that. Unfortunately, there is no proof, except me... and I wouldn't lie about that, but whatever. Believe whatever, I know the truth, they won't tell it. I am SO sick of Emma being two-faced too. Like in the morning, Friday morning, I called her and she was being all nice to me. Then I to school, and she was with the group, and suddenly, she was mad at me and making fun of me and talking crap about me. Real nice friend huh? Wow, I am seriously done with them. I will not get caught up in that again. I will not loose my confidence, my life to them again. I've seen what it does to people, and I will do everything in my favor to stay away. 

Hopefully next year I get into Bristol School District. All my real friends go there... except Grace. I think it sounds awesome to go there. New people, new teachers, new stuff, new atmosphere, new everything. Which is exactly what I want right now.

In The Merry Old Land of Oz

In the not so merry land of Kenosha is pretty lamee. I SERIOUSLY have to get out. I surrender. I really can't take all this.
I've finally realized my "friends" are not my friends at all. Wednesday, we got in the hottub with our clothes on. So then my mom gave me and my 2 "friends" a lecture on never to do it again, and then they got mad at her. So apparently that makes them mad at me too. But I really don't care because I know i didn't do anything, so I have nothing to be ashamed of. She is my mom, I love her. They have NO right to call her a b*tch. One of them said it right to my face. Here is our conversation
Me: Why are you mad at me?
Angelica: Cos your mom
Me: What?
Angelica: She is a b_tch.
Me: But why are you mad at ME?
Angelica: [silence]
Me: Whatever... [walks away]

That PROVES there is no reason for them to be mad at me. So whatever. I think they have just been waiting to find a time to get mad at me. But isn't that like THE LAMEST reason to be mad at me? But now I'm mad at them. What gives them the right to call MY mom that. SERIOUSLY? I wouldn't do that to themm.

OH! & when my mom was talking to us, Angelica goes "Well, it's not our fault. Kayla said it would be okay" I'm sitting there going "ARE YOU FREAKING SERIOUS?!?!?! you are seriously going to blame this all on me, when you are the one who was like "lets go in your hottub. come on please?!?"
What kind of friend rags on you? Not the right ones for me. But I am really proud of myself because through all this drama happening lately, I have been telling the truth. I haven't lied at all during all of this. They can believe whatever, but I know what I have done and said and I know that lieing gets me into more trouble. I haven't lied. I told the total truth about this whole thing. So whatever. They apparently don't want to be friends with me.

If they don't need me in their lives, I don't need them in mine.

And I know exactly what they are saying about me. 'I tell my mom everything'. Well, they just say that because NONE of the 4 of them have a good relationship with their mom. They are jealous. GOOD. Maybe it will teach them a lesson. I'm so done in this competition of the girls. I'm out. Adios.


Anyways, things around home are pretty good. Last night was super fun.
Hannah and I went across the street to the neighbors. I usually babysit the little girl over there. But last night, their mom and my mom went out to dinner to celebrate their birthdays. It was me, Zach (the 14 year old who is brothers with Morgan, who I babysit) and Hannah and Morgan. It started out with us eating pizza. Then we went into this room with a couch that is curvy so it's like 2 couches kind of put together. And we put in Toy Story. That was when we tried to calm down Hannah and Morgan. Morgan is 8 by the way. That didn't work. Somehow, we got into a huge pillow fight. It was super fun. Then I went upstairs to put Hannah in the extra bedroom to sleeep. And when I came out of the bedroom, Zach popped out of Morgans bedroom and scared me. I screamed so loud. Then we went downstairs and Hannah stayed upstairs. Then Morgan went on the floor and me and Zach took the couches. Then we found some spongebob money and kept throwing it back and forth. Then Hannah came back down. After that, we covered Zach in pillows and Morgan and Hannah piled on him. I stayed off, I think I would break him ;) Then I was laying on my back and talking to Hannah and Zach said
"Your shoulder blades stick out really far" and I - while talking to Hannah said
"Want me to show you?" because I was telling her about the other room where I could bring her to lay down. Zach goes
"Wow, that was PERFECT timing" Hahah.
Then me and Zach both earned $25 each for babysitting. Pretty sweet. I'm sure the whole night my friends were talking crap about me because they were all having a sleepover. So, while they were commizerating, I was earning trust and $25 and having the time of my life.

Well I visisted Katie's Meadow yesterday. It was gorgeous. I feel so free and happy there. I brought my camera, and sat in her spot for a while. I even got something stuck in my leg from running from a bee. :) I didn't get it out until late last night, and now I have a huge sore and stuff. Yuckk. But here are the best pictures.
