I GOT IT! - Plus, Info On Keyboard Layouts
I GOT IT! I GOT THE VET JOB AT HIGHLAND ANIMAL MEDICAL CENTER!!! *dances around room* I GOT IT!
And Seanathan, Qwerty and Dvorak are keyboard layouts - we discussed this. Qwerty is what everyone uses (look at the top row on the left and read the first six letters - hence the name) and has always known. Most people don't know that other layouts exist. There are more than just Qwerty and Dvorak, but I don't know them. Huntinpeck is a version which the older generation is very familiar with and a lot of people use now. It's probably the easiest version to learn.
Gotta get back to work. Hope that satisfies your...um...curiosity? Seanathan. Talk to you schmoes later.
Tschüss!

No time - Plus, Getting Faster
I feel like I've been running non-stop since I started working at M&A three weeks ago. I'm tired all the time and I'm behind in school and all my extra-curricular activities (three out of four of them have homework-type stuff). Things will calm down if I get this vet job, I'm sure. Training will be rough at first, but I'm a quick learner and get things down pretty quickly most of the time.
Wow - I've been typing for five minutes (in Qwerty-I'm very slow in it now) and I'm done with my update and with time to spare! I only have 10 minutes for break and I usually don't have time to finish my update. This means that I'm getting faster in Qwerty which is good - I need to be able to type fairly quickly in both Qwerty and Dvorak. This is good.
I'll talk to you all later. Thanks for reading!

Long While, Plus - I Might Possibly Have The Best Job EVER!!!
Sorry it's been so long. I haven't really had the chance to update properly.
I had an interview today with Highland Animal Medical Center (say that three times fast lol) and it sounded like Michelle was going to hire me today but she couldn't because she didn't know if any other people had come in for the job and she needed to talk to Susan. But Michelle took me on a tour of the place, she's basically going to train me, I'll basically be a VA (Veterinary Assistant) without the degree. It's one step away from Vet Tech - I'm so excited! I'll be trained to do all sorts of things like assisting the vet and the nurses in the exam room, doing bloodwork, holding down the animal while vaccinations are given or if blood is being drawn, things like that. I'll also get to mop and sweep, feed and walk the dogs, feed the cats, give them fresh water, etc. I'M SO PUMPED!!!
Work at M&A has been fine. Been making money. It ends in a week.
Sarah comes to me now without fighting. He doesn't fly away too much either - he's improving!
I'm glad to be home. Housesitting was fun, but I'm glad to have my own room, my own bed back. I like being around my dogs and bird, too. And my family. I like being on my turf.
I finally got the Unleashed and Hot Date expansion packs for my Sims game which I have been dying for for the longest time. The only thing is, I have a new-to-me computer and it's not wanting to install the Sims. It frustrates me. I'm going to have my Dad look at it.
Well, I'll talk to you all later. I'll try and update more often, I really will. Thanks for being patient.

Dates Are Fun - Plus, Big Girl Stuff
I just finished filing my taxes. Yay. *rolls eyes*
Today I had a date with Josh. We watched Saw - it's was good. It's about a deranged serial killer who never actually kills his victims, he gets them to either kill themselves or kill the other person. It's a really good movie, full of twists, and the best part is that it wasn't very predictable. It was good - I'd give it a thumbs up.
After Saw, Josh put in DDR and we played. He had me try some really easy songs on standard and at first I failed (mainly because it's different from light in a lot of ways), but then I kept practicing and I passed three different songs!!! WOOT! *dances around room*
I've been teaching Sarah a new trick and he's almost got it down. When I want him to come to me, I tell him "Come here" and he comes most of the time. Sometimes you have to chase him down, but he'll learn that he can't get away and won't even try anymore. I'm also trying to teach him that "Go home" means to go to his cage. That one's a bit harder to teach him, but practice makes permanent, and I'm not stressing about teaching him that one yet. I love my Sarah.
Oh, if you want to, you can check out the section in the sidebar called Art Gallery and look at some pics I found that I thought were incredible. I admire them - they are all wonderful. Wish I could paint/draw/take pictures like that.
Dinner is almost ready, so I'd better be going. Have to go wash my hands and such. I'll talk to you all later. Oh, please comment if you read this - I'm beginning to think that you all have too much life to read about mine ^_- Seriously though, comment. Even if all you say is comment. I'm getting lonely.

Work - Plus, Mourning
I am so glad that I don't have anywhere to go tonight. Sometimes I just need a relaxing night at home. It's good for me.
I applied at Highland Animal Medical Center in December and have been calling them once a month ever since. Well, it has finally paid off...Susan, the lady in charge of hiring, called me yesterday and told me that they have a position open. I called her last night but haven't heard anything from her. She has Fridays off so I couldn't call her today. I'll call again on Monday and see if she's there. I'm so excited - I really want this job!
Work at M&A is going well. I had a good day today. We got alot done.
You remember the friend I told you about, Tyler? I just found out that his dad died Tuesday morning. Is it strange to be crying over someone I never knew?
I was going to write more, but it doesn't seem important anymore. That, and I can't see through the tears. I'll be going...

Work - Plus, Other Nonsense In My Life
This past week has been busy. I'm working at M&A again, not doing deliveries (thank God!) but working up in the mezanine building cabinets and making kits for USPS. I'm working with my Mom and we're having a blast! That's one thing that's cool about Mom and I - we make a really good team.
I'm having a hard time working and getting schoolwork done on top of doing things for my regular nightly activities, so I haven't found time to blog yet, but I'll work out a system and get back in the groove. *bows low* My apologies.
Blogger comments aren't working still - this makes me upset.
I'm house-sitting over spring break, so that'll be fun.
Oh! Last night when I got home from Bible study (which was excellent, by the way - Tim Stevenson came and we got to ask him questions and stuff) I noticed that Sarah was talking to himself. I went over to him, he kept talking. I stuck my finger up beside his cage and he looked at it, didn't back away or anything like he usually does, and he talked at it, then talked at other stuff. I went around to the front of his cage and opened the door. Sarah turned around (he was backwards on his perch) and looked at me, I stuck my finger in there to let him walk up on there and he did! He didn't freak out, he didn't run away or make threatening noises at me or anything! He just stepped on up, I put him on my shoulder and he was content! Later I let him walk on my bed (I put an old blanket on there in case he pooped or something) and he had fun exploring. I found out he likes to play with my markers. They're closed, of course. But yeah. That was the first time he came to me without any fuss!
Yesterday was my 10-month anniversary (10th monthiversary) with my beloved boyfriend, Josh. I am so in love it's not even funny. I hope I end up with this guy, I really do. Augh! I love him so much!
Um...I think that's really all I have to say. I'm reading through Job. It's very interesting. Sad, but very interesting. Job's friends suck.

Comment Please - Plus, My Special Birthday Shouts Out To Nancy!
Wow - the number of comments you guys give me is overwhelming - I don't think I can read them all in one day! Lol. Comment, people!
So yesterday was fun. In the morning I updated my blog and checked e-mail and got dressed and stuff. I left the house, got gas, and was at IHOP by 12:37. I waited for Seanathan to get there because I had to leave there at 1:00 to be at Josh's on time. While waiting for Seanathan, I called Josh's cell - no answer. I called his house and talked to his Mom, she didn't know where he was. So I stayed at IHOP for lunch. Patrick was there - haven't seen him in ages. It was fun talking to him.
After lunch, I went to Josh's and we watched Back To The Future - the first one. It was great. After that, I left and got stuck in traffic on the way home. Then I got stuck in traffic on the way to the Missions Fair at church.
The Missions Fair was ok I guess. The food, as always, is a smorgasbord of food from all around the world. It was so good! The Russian Tort was to die for! I saw Martin Rechnitzer, the AWANA (Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed) missionary, there. I hadn't seen him in a long time. I saw one of my girls, Alexis, and she and Emily made me a necklace.
I left the Missions Fair early, with permission, because I had to take John and Ryan to Ryan's house. I called Seanathan and he said that he and Tracy would meet me at Starbuck's on 407 in a half hour. I get to Starbuck's at 8:15, waiting for Seanathan and Tracy. At about 8:40, Dustin, Meghan, Jeffrey, Nathan, Dara, and Shelby show up (my TCBS crew), then Seanathan and Tracy show up five minutes later. The TCBS people leave, then Josh Crowder, Kammah and Shaye show up. The three of them leave, then Tracy leaves, leaving Seanathan and I. A few minutes later, we see Brent walking into the pizza place next door. So I got to see a whole bunch of people that I didn't expect to see!
I'm so excited! Josh and I are going to go to Golden China for lunch and then probably go see a movie. It's going to be fun - as always.
And tonight is Nancy's birthday party, which reminds me...
I'D LIKE TO GIVE SOME SPECIAL BIRTHDAY SHOUTS OUT TO MY GOOD FRIEND NANCY BLEDSOE!!! *sings* Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday dear Nancy! Happy birthday to you!!! *uproarious applause*
I guess that's it for my update. Talk to you guys later!

Living and Dying - Plus, Much Greatness, A Little Death
I'm dying inside. Each time my heart beats it hurts a little more. It's not hurting for me, either. Every time I look into their face, every time I see them. They are so miserable. You can see the inner torment through their eyes and whether they want it to or not, it shows up on their face. I almost can't bear to look at them, the torment in their minds hurts me so. The fact that it's even a question for them hurts me. God, why do I have to care for people so much? Why have You put them in my life, Father? I don't get it. I don't seem to be helping them at all. There's nothing I can do but protect myself from the blast. The best thing I can do for them is protect myself from them. God, You have blessed me with the gift of compassion, but I don't know how to use it. God, I'm stuck. I need Your help. Please help me.
But at the same time, things couldn't be better. I'm deepening relationships with those I want to know more, I'm furthering older relationships, too. A few weeks ago someone told me that I was their best friend...I didn't see myself as such. I'm relatively happy all the time, family things have been about average - not too much screaming at William to do his chores; things with parents have been fine. Sarah is Sarah, that's about all I'm going to get out of him for now. Josh is amazing as usual. I feel like I haven't talked to him in ages even though I spoke with him last night, well, sort-of, I was asleep. I'm going out with him on Saturday, then going to Nancy's birthday party that night. I taught on Tuesday and it went well, Josh, Seanathan and Lara all came to watch - thank you all again, by the way.
In almost every aspect of my life in this moment, things are going splendidly. In the one aspect alone, my world is falling apart, I'm dying. I don't know what to do.
I haven't had breakfast and my stomach is yelling at me for it, so I'll catch you all later.

Good Day - Plus, Stupid Quiz Thingie Below
I had a good day yesterday. I taught last night and the kids actually payed attention! Katie was telling me that her girls never listen, so this week she told them, "Tell me the entire story of Esther" and THEY DID!!! They talked about it and all sorts of fun stuff like that. Maybe I made the story stick with them - that was my goal. (I'm allowed to be proud of myself, right?)
Josh, Lara, and Seanathan came to see me teach. That was fun. Josh got there and asked me which girls were mine. I pointed them out to him (we were all sitting down at announcements) and then told him that he could say hi to them all and be introduced and stuff after I taught if he wanted to. He said that he would, but that he couldn't stay because he had homework to do. They loved him! They were all talking to him and he was talking back and seemingly enjoying it! It was so much fun to watch.
Here's something I pulled off of a friend's Xanga that I thought would be fun to do, for lack of anything else to say in here:
X - what you have done.
( ) snuck out of the house
(x) gotten lost in your city
(x) saw a shooting star

( ) celebrated mardi-gras in new orleans
( ) been to Europe
( ) slept with a co-worker
( ) been married
( ) gotten divorced
( ) been pregnant
( ) saw someone die
( ) been to Africa
( ) Driven over 400 miles in one day

( ) Thrown up in a bar
( ) Purposely set a part of myself on fire
(x) Eaten Sushi

( ) Met someone in person from the internet
( ) Been moshing at a rock show
( ) Been to a moto cross show
( ) lost a child
( ) gone to a college
( ) graduated college
( ) done hard drugs
(x) love someone or miss someone right now
Ok - that was...interesting. I'm still not satisfied. Must find something else to tell you...
I'm lost.
Grief sucks.
My friend Nancy rocks my face off. She's so much like me it's not even funny! She's much more beautiful than I, but that's ok. He he he. We have so much in common, yet we're different too. It's so much fun hanging out with her, and she always has an ear to listen and a shoulder to cry on, if needed. She's amazing. Props to you, Nancy!!!
Well, I think I'd better go before I drive you all to insanity.

Katie was telling me that her girls never listen, so this week she told them, "Tell me the entire story of Esther" and THEY DID!!! They talked about it and all sorts of fun stuff like that. Maybe I made the story stick with them - that was my goal. (I'm allowed to be proud of myself, right?)
Josh, Lara, and Seanathan came to see me teach. That was fun. Josh got there and asked me which girls were mine. I pointed them out to him (we were all sitting down at announcements) and then told him that he could say hi to them all and be introduced and stuff after I taught if he wanted to. He said that he would, but that he couldn't stay because he had homework to do. They loved him! They were all talking to him and he was talking back and seemingly enjoying it! It was so much fun to watch.
Here's something I pulled off of a friend's Xanga that I thought would be fun to do, for lack of anything else to say in here:
X - what you have done.
( ) snuck out of the house
(x) gotten lost in your city

Ok - that was...interesting. I'm still not satisfied. Must find something else to tell you...
I'm lost.
Grief sucks.
My friend Nancy rocks my face off. She's so much like me it's not even funny! She's much more beautiful than I, but that's ok. He he he. We have so much in common, yet we're different too. It's so much fun hanging out with her, and she always has an ear to listen and a shoulder to cry on, if needed. She's amazing. Props to you, Nancy!!!
Well, I think I'd better go before I drive you all to insanity.
Tschüs!

Hmm... - Plus, Ramblings
No one comments anymore. Do you guys not read this or just don't have anything to say? It makes me sad.
I called the vet office that I wanted to work at and they said they already filled the position. I really thought I was going to get that one, too.
I finished my lesson for tonight last night. I'm going to suck. As usual. I'm hoping that Josh and Lara will be there. I really want them there - not sure why. I hope I don't freak out and shake because I'm nervous. I will, I just wish I wouldn't.
I got an e-mail from my pen pal today. She was my pen pal for about two years, then I didn't hear anything for another year. She had lots of stuff going on in her life and couldn't find the time to write. It was great hearing from her again.
I guess I'll talk to you all later. I have a shower to take and a lesson to practice - have to make sure it's under 10 minutes.

Sweetness - Plus, Funny How That Works Out
Josh sent me the lyrics to some of the songs on my German CD - they're awesome!!! Now I can sing along with the right words!!! HA.
I'm have a plan to re-arrange my room and am going to be working on cleaning up things here and there so that I can re-agrrange it later this week or next weekend. It'll be fun.
I'm almost done with my Esther lesson for Tuesday. The only thing that I found out that I didn't know before is that Esther's cultural name (the one she was known by where she lived) was Hanassah. Her Hebrew name is Esther. I would like to have found something better than that, but I don't know how to find something else. I just want them to remember the courage it took for Esther to walk into that room. I want them to remember how she trusted her uncle, Mordecai, when he told her that she had to break the law. I want them to remember how much she trusted God to give her the strength and courage to not only go into King Xerxes' throne room uninvited (which was against Persian law, for those of you that don't know the story) but to finally tell the king that his beloved right-hand man was the one who plotted to kill her and her people. I want them to remember that even though God is not mentioned once in the entire book that His hand is seen through everything. But I'm not sure how to communicate that in 10 minutes.
Something else that's cool - after Haman's death and the massacre of all the people that were mean to the Jews (by the Jews) Mordecai and Esther told the Jews to make an annual celebration of this freedom from Haman, they said to call it Purim (which means to cast lots) because Haman and his friends cast lots to see what day they should kill Mordecai on. Purim is celebrated on the 7th and 8th of March. I'll be teaching about this story on Purim - how cool is that?
Sarah's doing ok I guess. He's still not liking the whole being handled by strangers thing, but he'll get used to us. William keeps pestering him though...that only makes it more difficult.
I'm still bittersweet about the Easter choir rehearsals. I'm glad because I get to sing in the choir and stuff, it's always loads of fun, but I'm sad because I have to miss TCBS for three weeks and that won't be fun. I wish I could do both.
I want to go skiing really bad. Snow skiing. It was almost one year ago that my youth group was in Winter Park, Colorado, skiing up a storm. It was so much fun, and Josh taught Chris and I how to parallel ski, something I owe him bigtime for. It was so much fun skiing and getting to hang out and meet new people. That's where I got to know Taylor and Josh.
Hanging out with Chris and Ang on Saturday was so much fun! I haven't spent time with them in a while and am glad that I finally got to do it again. We need to do that more often, ladies! Chris and I went shopping and then we went back to her house and I stayed and had dinner with their family and then Chris, Ang and I played Nintendo until I had to leave. It was awesome!
Well, I have to go now, but I'll talk to you all at a later date, I'm sure.

Dates Are Great - Plus, A General Update
My date with Josh was wonderful!!! I went over to his house at 4:20 and got there at 4:45 (I hit a few school zones on the way over). I walked in, we went upstairs and watched tv for 45 minutes and then we all (his whole family and I) went out to eat at Mi Cocina's (in Parker Square). Then we went back to his house and played DDR. It was so much fun!!! Gah! It was great! Plus, Josh had on a new shirt and it looked really good on him. *grins* He's so gorgeous!
Sarah has been doing really well. Today, Dad got Sarah to sit on his finger without holding one of his feet and he didn't fly away! I took him from Dad and Sarah stayed put. We put the jungle gym back on top of his cage. I think he'll be able to get on there now. He's been on there for a good 20 minutes already. He's such a good bird when he wants to be!
I'm going shopping with Chris today. It's so exciting getting to hang out with her again! I miss spending time with her.
Please pray for my friend Tyler. His dad has cancer and has been having complications with it (paralysis and so-on) and they think it may be in his brain now as well as his chest. Tyler's 19-year-old brother is in college so Tyler stays home with his 17-year-old autistic brother. Tyler is 15. Pray for him - he's having a hard time, and pray for his dad too.
Josh is in Austin going to a dinner at UT today. I wonder what it's like going and visiting colleges and such. Josh has gone with his dad and last night over dinner they were talking about things they would ask the college, like seeing about getting cheaper dorms and the like. I'm sure they've got a list of things and hopefully they'll get all the answers they need. It's going to be weird next fall when Josh is in Austin and I'm here. It'll be weird knowing that he's not 20 minutes away anymore. We'll still see each other, most likely every other weekend and we'll take turns making the drive and whatnot, but it'll still be weird.
Well, I think I have said everything that I wanted to say. I'll talk to you all tomorrow.

Responding to Brent's comment:
On Oscar night almost all of us highschoolers filled out ballots to vote on who would win each Oscar. There were 26? catagories to vote in. The person who guessed the most right won a $50 gift card to Blockbuster or something like that.
Out of the 26 catagories, my beloved only guessed one correctly, finishing dead last (for probably the first time in his life) out of who knows how many people.
Brent called me Tuesday afternoon just to tell me that. I thought it was funny, but apparently Josh didn't. Ah well. It will all be soon forgotten. That's my story.

Yes! Friday! - Plus, A Foolish Mistake
Finally Friday is here! Can't wait for tonight. I'm so excited.
Something I've noticed...I've been seemingly snappy at people for no reason. I don't even know I do it until someone says, "Are you ok? You've been snappy tonight. You did it to him, and him..." And a few weeks ago I was told I was being snappy at my best friend (again, not knowing it). I asked her about it, after apologizing profusely, and she figured I was in a mood or something - she blew it off because she knows me, but it still doesn't change the fact that I'm doing it. I don't know what's wrong with me and I don't know how to fix it if I don't even realize when I'm doing it. I'm so lame.
Well, homework calls once more. Can't wait for the weekend. I love you all!

Ok...so - Plus, There's Squeaking In My Ears
Ok...so. I found out I'm teaching Midschool next week. I knew I had to teach, but wasn't sure what week. Now I know. I have to read the entire book of Esther (10 chapters) for background, but focus on chapter 4 where Esther goes into the throne room uninvited (which was lethal back then). I'm glad I've heard the story so many times, it helps. But I want to bring a new image to the story, something that will stick in their minds, some little fact of some sort or bringing the story into a whole new light, something that will make them remember the story just a little bit better. I'm definately going to ask for help on this one, I don't think I can do it alone. I think I'm more nervous now that I have to teach Midschool than when I was this summer when I had to teach the Highschoolers in Mexico. O_O
Ok...so. Last night after Midschool we went to Starbucks as usual. Seanathan was there, so John went over to him and talked with him for a while. Meanwhile us girls (Kaylah, Lara, Nancy and I) sat at a table and laughed. Kaylah and Lara would be laughing at an inside joke between the three of us and I would explain the joke to Nancy so she didn't feel left out. Lara was way stressed out and Kaylah was very tired so of course they laughed way harder and way longer than necessary. It was crazy. We had fun, which is what matters. I love those girls.
Ok...so. At Starbucks, when I went to go collect John because I had to take Nancy home, apparently Seanathan was giving John Bible homework. He is to read 1 Peter 4:1-11 and have five questions/comments for Seanathan on Thursday. As they stood up, Seanathan looked at me and said, "And that goes for you, too." My initial reaction is not to do it just because he told me to. I may or may not follow my initial reaction. Haven't decided yet.
Ok...so. Mom was driving by Lake Dallas Veterinary Clinic on Monday and noticed they had a huge sign out front saying that they needed part-time kennel help. Mom called me and let me know about it, she wrote their phone number and address on a post-it note for me. I called them Tuesday afternoon and the kennel manager said that I should come in to define the specific hours I can work (on an application) and that he'd take a look at it. I might get a vet job afterall! I'm going in today to fill out the application.
Ok...so. I am so excited about my date with Josh on Friday. We're going to play DDR, eat dinner, maybe watch a movie...just hang out and enjoy each other's company (and to watch me get whooped by Josh's 8-year-old brother Austin who plays on HEAVY!!!). I can't wait. I'm so excited to see him. He's going to Austin this Saturday for a college thing. He and his Dad are going. I can't wait to hear about what it was like!
Ok...so. My throat is killing me. I've been taking Tylenol every four hours (as perscribed) and it's still not completely killing the pain. Eating helps it go away, but I get full after a meal, so... I'm going to drink a lot of hot tea (Earl Grey) and some ice cold water, not at the same time, of course. Maybe the heat will soothe it and the ice will numb it. I don't know. It'll go away in a few days, I'm sure.
Ok...so. The holding treatment for Sarah seems to be working...sort of. He was very violent yesterday. He just wouldn't stop pecking. I think he's getting more comfortable in the house though - he keeps imitating his former owner's pager - it sounds more like a timer going off to me, but that's his sound. It's really funny. He'll go at it for 10 seconds at a time. He's a hoot. (or rather squeak)
Ok...so. That's really all I had to say. I'll talk to you all later. *waves*

Update...Now! - Plus, I'm A Happy Girl
Hallo all! I'm in a fairly chipper mood today. I woke up early as usual, but this morning I was awake. Normally my alarm goes off at 6:30 and I stay in bed and talk to Josh until 8:00, then I lay there until 8:30, sometimes later. This morning, I woke up at 6:30, called Josh, he called back on his home phone, I asked him to call me on my home phone, and didn't hear anything from him until just now (he called from school). When I woke up at 6:30, I was awake, ready to start the day. I'm very odd.
I'm trying the "forceful" method with Sarah. What I'm doing is once I finally catch him, I hold Sarah against my chest until he calms down or until 15 minutes passes - whichever one is shorter, which is usually the 15 minute time span. This way, he's used to being handled, and he'll eventually get to the point where he doesn't run away from us when we try and hold him and he doesn't peck the heck out of a silver ring when we do hold him, he'll just sit there calmly, not squirming or trying to fly away. It may take a while, but I'm sure that time will come. He's doing better, he really is.
TCBS was fun last night. I met a really nice lady, got to know a couple of teens a little bit, it was fun. Oh, and I found out that Francie reads my blog...cool, huh? Hi, Francie! He he he. Sorry. I won't do it again. *tries to hide the guilty look on face*
I went to Lara's after we finished at Starbucks and I made her dinner, her favorite - Macaroni and Cheese - with hotdogs, and we ate and talked and all sorts of things like that. I washed the dishes when we were done and I tried to make her sit back and relax and let me take care of her and she did to a point, but it wasn't what I had in mind. Oh well. This is Lara we're talking about... ^_- I love you sis, you know that.
I talked to my parents Friday night. Took excerpts from my blog and printed it out for them to read on their way to their Bible study, that way they could read it, think it over, then talk to me when they got home. And that's exactly what they did. By the way, I apologize for seemingly ragging on my parents a lot. I was only complaining about my life, if I made them look bad to you, I'm sorry. They are wonderful people, trying to figure out this parenting thing just like the rest of the parents in the world. Anyhoo, I talked to them, it went well, and we're all working to make things better.
I guess I'd better go. I have to work with Sarah, finish eating breakfast, do laundry and schoolwork and so-on and so-forth. Catch ya later!

What I'm doing is once I finally catch him, I hold Sarah against my chest until he calms down or until 15 minutes passes - whichever one is shorter, which is usually the 15 minute time span. This way, he's used to being handled, and he'll eventually get to the point where he doesn't run away from us when we try and hold him and he doesn't peck the heck out of a silver ring when we do hold him, he'll just sit there calmly, not squirming or trying to fly away. It may take a while, but I'm sure that time will come. He's doing better, he really is.
TCBS was fun last night. I met a really nice lady, got to know a couple of teens a little bit, it was fun. Oh, and I found out that Francie reads my blog...cool, huh? Hi, Francie! He he he. Sorry. I won't do it again. *tries to hide the guilty look on face*
I went to Lara's after we finished at Starbucks and I made her dinner, her favorite - Macaroni and Cheese - with hotdogs, and we ate and talked and all sorts of things like that. I washed the dishes when we were done and I tried to make her sit back and relax and let me take care of her and she did to a point, but it wasn't what I had in mind. Oh well. This is Lara we're talking about... ^_- I love you sis, you know that.
I talked to my parents Friday night. Took excerpts from my blog and printed it out for them to read on their way to their Bible study, that way they could read it, think it over, then talk to me when they got home. And that's exactly what they did. By the way, I apologize for seemingly ragging on my parents a lot. I was only complaining about my life, if I made them look bad to you, I'm sorry. They are wonderful people, trying to figure out this parenting thing just like the rest of the parents in the world. Anyhoo, I talked to them, it went well, and we're all working to make things better.
I guess I'd better go. I have to work with Sarah, finish eating breakfast, do laundry and schoolwork and so-on and so-forth. Catch ya later!
