I don't know what the orange team was thinking but I swear, there's some heavy drugs going on over there. They actually thought they could distract my mom by having my dad dress up in a Speedo bathing suit. Don't these people realize that it's pretty cold out there? Sure, nothing is sexier than a freezing man.

But it might have done some good ( Read more... )

Dear Diary,

Whoever said war is hell wasn't fooling. For three days we've been trying to conquer the orange fortress and capture their flag with no success. Many plans have been tried and all have failed. We are holding our own.

On the good side of things, the orange team has not managed to capture the green flag, thanks to the efforts of all ( Read more... )

I think a lot of my fellow students are taking a secret course in Aerodynamics, because as soon as the teacher left the room, they started tossing paper airplanes around. And we all know that in study hall, whether the teacher is there or not, we MATURE students study, study, study.

Sunday, my folks, those wonderful people, returned the favor ( Read more... )

Yesterday was a lot of fun, today I have to remember I'm a serious student and do some serious studying so I can keep up my serious grade average. No fun for me today!

Well, maybe I can sneak in a little fun this evening. I don't have that much left to do. Just a few pages of math problems, some history reading and finish up a paper for my ( Read more... )

It's time for a "Be nice to Mom and Dad" day. It used to be they would go out on Friday nights and let me watch BB and Daikon, but they haven't been doing that lately, so I think since it's not a bad day, I'm going to grab the little ones and take them out for a bit. The lake is in pretty good shape for skating, I cleared off all the snow, so I ( Read more... )

We are getting wailed on this year as far as snow goes. More is coming down as I'm writing this and half the kids in school are going off into fits thinking we'll get out early. Well, considering it's almost 1:00, I can't see that they'll let us out that early, so I don't see what all the fuss is about.

Yes, I was right, the cosmic forces that ( Read more... )

Would you believe that I'm actually pretty ahead of my schoolwork? After all the disaster that was last semester, I'm seeing that tonight, I can probably finish my homework in about an hour, instead of the usual 3-4 I put into it. And I'm actually further ahead in my reading in both social studies and literature class.

What does this mean? It ( Read more... )

No chance of a snow day today, sadly enough. It was nice having an unexpected long weekend! I could use a few more of those to be honest.

Sunday was pretty mellow. We all just hung out for the most part. Took Daikon and BB outside a couple of times, but never for long. I think Piper and I spent more time outside on the roof. You know, Mom ( Read more... )

I think today has been a good day, I just hope everyone agrees with me. Lots of folks showed up, some looked less impressed with the snow than others did.

The first order of business was sledding. And we decided that this usual crap of "find a hill, throw sled down, leap on and go" was a waste of time, so we had to go further and cut a trail ( Read more... )

There are times when I have to sit back and wonder if Piper thinks she's found a wonderful family in us. A place where music is almost always playing on the stereo system, where you do your living in the kitchen, but you do your relaxing in the living room. A place where it's almost never quiet, but rarely in turmoil. Where cookies never come ( Read more... )
