I Do It Anyway Because I Really Need The Money

Babysitting Dan & Nicole wasn't too bad.  It's 6:15 now, 45 minutes until I have to babysit again; for Dana & Kevin.  I made 30 bucks so far and I should make about 25-30 more tonight!  That's a lot for one day!  It's really a lot, but this money don't come easy!  

I really don't like babysitting but I do it anyway because I really need the money.  It seems like the older I get, the harder the kids are on me.  I've been babysitting since I was 12 and I don't remember having any problems.  Oh well!  I also seem to have less patience now then I did when I was 12.  I used to have so much fun with the kids, now all they do is give me a headache!  I'm going to bring some paper and stuff and I'm going to write some letters to my friends when I get the kids to bed.  I'm going to be there till midnight, what else is there to do?!  TV starts getting boring at night.  There's mostly just re-runs from daytime.  Bye!

**Editors Note: What the heck did I "really need the money" for anyway?  Lots of Beanie Babies to buy, I suppose.  Priorities!  Also... the drawing you see should explain why I am 27 years old and still don't have any kids.  I was trained early and trained well.**

Loveline Is On, I Hate This Show

I'm babysitting right now.  It's 11:10 already.  The kids were good.  You know what I've been doing the whole time?  I wrote Alaina a 4 page letter!  That's pretty long.  Loveline is on, I hate this show, it's so nasty.  Why would I want to know about other people's sexual problems?!  I'm so bored.

This is cool, I love babysitting at night.  I'm getting paid $5 an hour to watch TV and listen to music.  I only had an hour and a half of work.  Five hours of payment!  These people's theme song for their house should be "The Ants Go Marching" because once in a while I look over and see a little ant marching by.  Anyway, gotta go now!

Beanies I Got So Far

Today I went to Hallmark and I got "Spangle" the 4th of July bear.  All the Beanies I got so far this summer are bears.  I have Spangle, Princess, Erin, Peace and Halo.  And I only have one Puffkin, Lucky.  I got the Beanie "Whisper" for Alaina and I'm sending it to her tomorrow. 

I am going to be babysitting almost all day tomorrow.  Nicole & Dan at 10:00am - 3:00pm then Dana & Kyle at 7:00pm-12:00am.  I'm gonna be so tired!  Speaking of tired, I'm tired now, it's 11:15pm.  Gooodnight!

**Editors Note: Some people are "trying" to sell that Princess Beanie on eBay for like, a million dollars. I mean, they have no bids on them, but WHAAAT?!  I have that one.  Why a Million?  It's only WORTH that much if people are PAYING that much.  Which they clearly aren't.  Hopefully they start paying up and I can sell my stash.**

Austin Powers

There's a heat wave going on now!  It's been 95 degrees for the past 3 days and it's supposed to be like that tomorrow.  Today we went to the movies.  Me, Dad and Brennan saw Austin Powers.  

Mom, Maddox and Mika saw Tarzan.  We got a babysitter for Lila.  Tomorrow I'm babysitting for the Brown's from 9-11am.  Then we are going to the pool.  Maddox is starting swimming lessons.  I hope he likes it!  I'm so tired.  Goodnight!

Wake Up At 8:00

I haven't written in a few days because I've been really busy and I haven't been getting to bed until late.  Like tonight, it's 11:11.  I have to wake up at 8:00 because we have to take Brennan and Maddox to Vacation Bible school every morning at 9:00 until Friday.  Tomorrow is Maddox's birthday party.  I've had a few babysitting jobs now and more on the calendar.  I am so tired and I have more to say but I have to go to sleep!!!

A Bulletin Board

I went next door to go and see Amy and Kelly and Seth and Mitchell.  I missed them a lot.  I don't have any definite babysitting jobs yet, just some maybes.  My room is so cool, I decorated it a little.  I have a cool idea for that square electrical box opening thing.  It looks like a bulletin board without the cork, and it's the same color as my walls, so Dad said that I could make it a bulletin board.  He's gonna put cork on it and cover the cork in that awesome wrapping paper that I had on my birthday presents.  Dad said we might go to the movies today or tomorrow.

Green Day

Today is Maddox's 4th birthday.  I am so glad to be here!  I got 2 early birthday presents.  A stereo and a Green Day CD.   It's really late so I can't write a lot.  Goodnight!

P.S. I'm going to use this for a summer journal because I don't have one and this is practically empty.

Happy Summer!

Today is going to be a busy day!  At around 2:00 we are going into town, go to Alaina's house to get my book and say goodbye, then go to Grandma's house to say goodbye, then I have to go to Range at 4:00 and they will pick me up at 6:00.  We will go straight to Gram and Grandpa Davis' house.  From there, we will say goodbye to Mom.

We will spend the night there and leave with them in the morning to Midland.  That's where the family reunion is, and that's where Dad will be.  After the reunion we are going to a hotel and the next day, we are going to Cedar Point!!  Cool!

I still have quite a few more pages in here but I am not going to bring this with me to Dad's so I am going to try to fill it up now.  The hard thing is that there is nothing to write!  All I can say is that it's been a great year and I had fun but I'm so damn happy it's summer!!!

Happy Summer!!

The year is finally over!!!!!

Good Job Parallel Parking

Tomorrow is the last day of Range!  The last day of Range IS a test!  I'm kinda nervous.  Oh!  Yesterday, during Range, someone backed into us and luckily there was no dent!!  Nobody got kicked out.  I did a good job parallel parking today.  It's not hard.  I'm not good at backing into a parking spot though.  Wish me luck on the test tomorrow!!  I better pass!

Lotsa Cool Clothes

On Friday, Allie spent the night at my house, it was fun.  On Saturday we went to Saginaw to go clothes shopping for summer.  I got lotsa cool clothes!  It is so hot outside!!  Way too hot!!

I have Range tomorrow and I'm nervous!!  It's not like it's a test or anything, they're teaching us how to drive, but I'm scared because I don't know what it's like.  I'm sure it won't be so bad.

I'm so excited to see Dad, and Tabitha, and Maddox and Mika, and Lila and all the pets and all my neighbors!

Actually Liked School

No more school till next year!  I am so happy!  I can't believe I actually liked school at the beginning of the year!  Anyway, the French final was pretty easy.  I don't know my score.  I got an A- on my English final. I got a D on my Algebra final.  This is what I think I got for grades on the finals and in the class for the year:

History - Final: C  class grade: B

Science - Final: B  class grade: B

Photography - Final: A- class grade: A

French - Final: A- class grade: A

English - Final: A- class grade: A

Algebra - Final: D  class grade: B

Over the summer I am going to buy another diary and then I'll write my real grades.  I'm gonna do one every year.  There was only 8 people on my bus today on the way home.  That's cool!  I got home at 3:08 instead of 3:20!  Yay, summer vacation!!!

Making My Stomach Hurt

Yesterday we found out that me, Allie and Jessalyn would have the same lunch today (because of finals).  So yesterday on the bus she said "Hey!  Cool, we're going to all have the same lunch!  We should eat together."  So today in 2nd hour, Claire said "After this class I have to hurry because I have to meet Jessalyn."  So I said "Why do you have to hurry?" and she said "because we're going off for lunch with Ron."  Okay, so there she goes again!  Me and Allie are really getting blown off.

I hate life.  I really really do.  And not just because of that.  There are so many reasons.  There's this whole thing about my brother Brennan that I'm not even going to get into.  There is so much stress right now with finals and this thing with Jessalyn.  I can't take it.  It's been making my stomach hurt.  I also get really tired; and really sore for some reason.

I think I did bad on my History final.  I got a B on my Science final, and an A- on my Photography final.  Guess what Crazy Crafton made us do after we got done correcting our own exams (everyone lied about the grade), we had to clean!  Crazy Crafton made us scrub the floors, wash windows and desks and shelves, take down all her stuff she had on the walls, it's nuts!!!  Anyway, I'm going to bed early so maybe I won't be as tired for my French, English and Algebra finals!  Ahh!

Soap Opera Moment

Guess what happened today.  It's not good.

I was talking to Claire while we were talking to 4th hour and she said, "So, what did you and Allie do on Saturday?"  And so I told her and she said, "Me and Jessalyn went to the dance for a while" and I was like "What?!  Why?!" and she said, "What do you mean?" and I said "Jessalyn said that she couldn't go and since she wasn't going, you weren't going; so why did you guys go??!" and she said, "Well, Jessalyn's parents changed their minds." and I said, "So, why didn't you tell us, why did you guys go there without us" and she said... well never mind I'm not going to write exactly what we said anymore cause I can't really remember cause I was too pissed off but I kept asking her reasonably understandable nosey questions till we got there.

Then I ran into my 4th hour to tell Allie the little soap opera of a moment we had going.  It was funny because while I was telling her the story, quite a few of the people around us were just staring at us and listening.  Juicy gossip!!  Anyway, the best is yet to come.

On the bus, Jessalyn acts like she did no wrong until finally Allie brings it up.  Of course Jessalyn tried to defend herself but it didn't make us feel any better, only worse.  She said that her parents told her around 5pm that she could go and she could only stay for around an hour or so.  She said that she figured we would be at the punk show and her mom said she couldn't go to that (for some gay unknown reason, it's not bad) but then Allie said, "Well you should have at least called us on Sunday or Monday.  It's not the fact that we didn't get to go, it's the fact that we thought you couldn't go but you did go and then didn't tell us."  By the end of the bus ride we had both pretty much gotten out all our feelings to her and she was mad and didn't talk to us.

In Algebra, she was writing a note to some guy Ron.  I asked her who he was and she said he was her boyfriend.  Boyfriend?!  She never told me she had a boyfriend!  She always tells me this kind of stuff.  But she didn't tell me that she's been going out with him since Friday.  Geez!  What a great friend she's being.
