Thanksgiving

The pictures didn't work last time.

Thanksgiving 2009

We had a fun Thanksgiving day. Soon and her family, Julie and her family and James was here to celebrate with us. Aaron cooked the turkey and it was good!!! We all ate too much. Jason and Whitney entertained us with a guitar and Piano concert. After wards we went up the the Activity Center and had fun talking, eating dessert and playing games. All in all it was a great day except that we missed seeing the rest of you. Hope your day was as fun.

Dead Parakeet

I am steaming mad today!! If only people in this family would listen to me!!! Here is the situation. Marci's sister moved out of this house about a month ago. They left their Parakeet downstairs in the bathroom. Now I don't go down there that much but I fed it once in a while. I told Marci a couple of days ago. "O.K this is it. Tell them to get their stupid Parakeet out of our house because it is going to die!!" It just sits in that bathroom day after day in its cage. One day I laid down the law. I said "Today is the day that they come pick up their bird!! I will not let the sun go down before that bird is gone and someone takes care of it" I am parphrasing. Anyway since I have no authority in this house nothing was done. Everytime I would go into the bathroom I would kind of subconsiously check whether the bird was dead or not. Today I was down there and did my subconsious checking while putting Leroy's poop in the toilet and sure enough DEAD AS A DOORNAIL!!!!!!!! WHY DO PEOPLE NOT LISTEN TO MY WISDOM? Well Marci calls her sister and THEN we hear. "YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO MIX GRAVEL WITH IT'S FOOD SO IT CAN DIGEST!!" Well that is good to hear once the bird is finally dead. I am glad it doesn't have to sit in it's cage anymore and is probably in heaven giving us a bad report. Well I know when I get to the judgment seat my conscience is clear. Others in this family I fear will be trembling at the when they give their accounting for the fate of this poor bird.

Presidential Thanksgiving message

Since we don't have a President who believes in the principles of America I figured we could listen to Ronald Reagans Thanksgiving Message.

Fw: 'We all fall down' :)

Hi Family,

 

Thanksgiving is coming up and the Turkeys getting fat!  (that doesn't rhyme but its fun to say) And that means chocolate pie, corn muffins, and rolls...Yummmmmmmmmmyyyyyy  Not to mention "mountains of potatoes with the turkey gravy rising over the top like a sunrise!" (You cant really make poetry about potatoes, can you?)   

 

We have been having fun here. My tried to get us to rake the leaves, and we just ended up jumping in them. I took a cool action picture of Kenny running with his magic leaf. (but it didn't make him fly) I think it looks cool. It was a great day, it rained the next day. 

 

I am also finally sending our Nintendo themed Halloween picture!   I was happy because I got a bunch of snickers... 

 

Only two days of school this week, but the teachers are still going to give me homework! We're going to have fun playing Wii fit Plus, I like flapping like a bird!  Lol and the marching game helps me practice for Color Guard! We have a parade on Saturday at 8:00am in the morning! Mom says she is glad it is not Friday, because that is her Day After Thanksgiving shopping day! She always brings doughnuts back from Dunkin Doughnut! yay!

 

Happy Thanksgiving, eat lots of potatoes!

insomnia from Valium?

I have started taking 5mg valium and .50 mg of Ativan. This is to slowly wean over to valium so I can get off of the stuff. Valium stays in your system way longer so it is easier to taper the dose slowly without side effects. I feel more stable now since I have a more consistent amount in my blood. It is not really that bad but when I haven't taken ativan I get tremors here and there in my body and cramps in my stomache and weird pains. It is not bad just unsettling. Now I am ticked off because Valium makes me not sleep. It is supposed to make you tired and drowsy. It calms me but kind of wakes me up at the same time. Ativan makes me sleep but it also makes me crazy. (ask Julie) Anyway the dose I am taking is very small and the doctor is surprised I am hooked on it. I guess my body is just weird. Now so that reading this post won't be entirely a waste of time I will write about something that happened to me last winter.

I went on splits with the missionaries and we went to a trailer park to visit a family. We went inside and they where nice people and everything but they where a little strange. The had a t.v entertainment center like most people do but where a glass door would normally be they had a chicken wire type door and inside of it where mice. I commented that it isn't everyday you see something like that. The guy took it as a compliment and proudly told me he had built it himself. I thought the mice were just pets until we where about to leave and they asked if I wanted to watch them feed their pet boa constricter. I did not really enjoy watching that snake chase the mouse around and finally devour it. It was gross. The people did come to church a few times but thankfully they didn't join the church. I did not want to have the assignment of being their visiting teacher.

Walmart stuff

Just letting all you after thanksgiving shopping people know I have been doing a lot of work. We were unloading a truck today and now I think I know why stuff doesn't always work when you get it home. This one blu ray player looked pretty bad. Later I was trying to get some t.vs down and they fell down. Luckly they just landed on my foot and some other boxes.

They also made us watch a 2 hour movie so no one gets killed. If there are problematic people we are supposed to give them a non-threatening stare. That will show them. I also get to guard a line for some bikes so no body cuts in or tries any antics. The good thing about our store is they are not going to close so we won't have any crazy ladies stomping on our greeter guy. I think he would get killed.

P.S. Brian I think I know what you have. It has the latin derived name wussitis.
