Today's Events

This afternoon, Rachel and I had sewing at the library. Photography is over for the year, which is kind of sad. I made a, or attempted to make a peasant shirt. But I couldn't really get my sewing machine to work very well. And I kept doing things wrong!! Ug! I only got the front part of my shirt done; so the backside isn't even started yet. Hopefully, I'll get that done this week. I'll try and get some pictures on here soon! After sewing, I went over to a house that my grandma is working on flipping. She is having a garage sale in the morning, so I spent most of my time pricing things to sell. My cousin, who's in town, put up the backsplash. He did an awesome job on it! The house is starting to look better inside. There was talk about getting up early in the morning, I think I'm already sawing ZZZ's.... We are also in the proccess of spring cleaning.

Oh how I'm tired of it. We basically bagged up half the house and sent it off to Goodwill. We've been doing that for about 3 days. I think one more day and it's over. Ahh.... Okay, so I better go off to bed before I fall asleep in front of the computer. ZZZZZ - sourpatch

The Visit

The visit with my cousins really went well! My grandma and cousins family went to their first book signing at 9:00 on Saturday. He also went to my aunts book store in the afternoon for another book signing. Bryce did his wonderful speech and presentation on the Civil War twice there and twice at the one earlier. I couldn't stop smiling during the presentation, it was so good. I'm proud of him. We had hamburgers and fries for dinner, too. That was a plus. This Sunday, we went to church, and then Rachel and I came right over to my grandma's house. We organized her closet and got rid of her outdated clothes and things she didn't wear. It looks really good in her closet now! I'm proud of that, too. It turned out good!! There is so much more space in there now! For dinner tonight, my grandma cooked this frozen pizza that she got at Aldi's. It was about $4 each, but it was almost identical to Digornios' $6 pizzas. The brand is Mama Ocozzi. They were really good!! Too bad we don't really go to Aldi's all that much. We use the fundraiser card for Kroger's, so we go there a lot. Tomorrow, I have an appointment with a dental surgeon for a consultation to pull 4 teeth. The orthodontist says I need 4 teeth pulled; although at first I didn't see why that was necessary. I guess they're pull one on each side top and bottom. That still seems like a lot though. I hear that science class has been pretty boring without me. I bring the humor I guess. I've missed it a lot, so I'll be glad to be back again. sourpatch

Achievement Tests

Monday and Tuesday I had my achievement tests. Jessica and I took them together, but not in the same room. I feel pretty good on how I did, especially the science, reading comprehension, and reading vocabulary. The math was pretty rough though. It was harder than the stuff I've been doing this year, or maybe I just forgot some stuff.... I'm craving some gold fish, I had those for part of my lunch. I need gold fish!! Not the real fish, that would be gross. Later this afternoon, we had planned to go to my grandma's house and clean the yard, but it's thundering right now. That's probably going to be called off. Oh yeah, Mom and Rachel went to the store during the test and got, "My Spanish Coach." For ya'll that don't know, it's a game that I can play with my DS. I haven't tried it though. I think I'm going to go do that. I also have a question about Virus Buster. What is the scoring system on that? Also, what is a good score? Thanks in advance. ttyl ~ sourpatch
