Lovely Saturdays

    Ah I love Saturdays...luscious green trees, cool breeze, nothing to do, warm sunshine, clean house. Ah this IS the life. However, there is one thing that makes it stressful. Mr. Grumpy. Yep we discovered this guy the hard way. He shows his ugly face when we kids don't help or don't do something we were told to. There is also Oscar and Chuck that like to poke out of our mom's neck. (they are her two veins that stick out of her neck when she yells) She tends to clean house on Saturdays and so this is when they most often come out of their lil' shell. We have to do our best not to drag them out, but somehow they show up anyway.
    You see once they come out, who knows how long it will take them to go back in. That part is up to me, the oldest kid of the bunch. I have to be the one to force Mr. Grumpy, Chuck, and Oscar back in, and bring a smile back to everyone's faces. :-) Thats my purpose in life. Well I have others, but ya. You get it.
    Anyway back to relaxing Saturdays. We were supposed to go camping today at Rollins lake, near Colfax, but my fadre' is in Eureka still working his bum off. Actually, we were supposed to leave yesterday, spend the night, and SEA DOO all day long today. But I guess it's not worth it to only go for one day cause we would be doing tents and that is a lot to set up just to take down the next day. So we decided to wait for a longer period that we could go. Like for a week!! Now that would be awesome. But I doubt that will happen...no one else wants to go for a week but me. My birthday is in a few months!! It's in July! Well toward the end of July. I will be 15! I could drive January 2012!! I am so excited. Can you tell? lol.
     In other news. Who has a little sister?? I do. She wakes up early in the morning everyday. Like at 6 or something, and I like to get as much sleep as possible. You can see where I am going with this right? Ya well my alarm is set for 7:03....7:03! I am not asking for much but do I get that? noooooooooo. She comes in my room every morning, and has me do her hair for school, mind you I am still in bed. It's like 630 or something and there I am doing her hair. IN BED!! So I tell her later that she needs to wait until I get up. So things go fine until Sunday rolls around. Now on Sundays I wake up at 8. So I set my alarm for 8. What does she do?? She comes in my room at 7, jumps on me repeatedly, and goes, " Get up, get up, get up, get up, get up, get up, get up!" At the same time she is jumping on me. So I ignore her and pretend to be asleep, because I know if I open my eyes I will just get madder and lose my German temper. So I keep quiet about this incident, to her at least. So the week goes by and this morning my alarm goes off at 7:03, I decide, hey I am going to sleep in today! Pretty soon after I shut off my alarm here comes Ashlee, "Rise and SHINE!!" and she starts opening my blinds!! So she got another lecture from me. She is only 7, I find this funny, but I do value sleep. It just makes me love her that much more when she actually wants me to get up. And doesn't hate me. Value your friends and family. You never know what you've got, till it's gone. Love ya Ash. :-)
