Finals

This I would consider to be the worst week of school. The week of staying up until 2 in the morning every day, the week of studying until your brains fall out, the week of taking test after test after test and only to realize your still no done. the week of sitting on your bed, slouched over staring at a book until your back can no longer move, the week of only getting up to use the bathroom, the week of only 2 meals a day, the week of reviewing and reviewing and more reviewing, the week of memorizing, yes, this is the week of finals.....

Congrats to....

She's gone

I problably should explain...

Yes I know I have been gone...for a little over a week now. It didn't seem very long ago since I last posted but it said my last post is on June 9th so I thought I would give you a quick update. During the past week my family has been taking turns going up to Michigan about 3 times. It's because of my grandma. She is not doing so well. They say she is a modeled color which means she is not getting enough oxygen, she hasn't responded to anyone, nothing, it is like she can't hear. I call her name...no response. Then the oddest thing happened the other day. I put my hand on the bed and she took my hand and squeezed it. That was all I needed. Something. I sign for me to know that she is there. Then she went back to her "normal" and acted like it never happened. Or like that took all her energy. Now all she she does is moan. They give her morphine around the clock and she never changes. She has fluid in her lungs now and is gasping for air. I hate to see her like this. All those time I would sit in her living room and she would sing to me about a little red fox and a big black bear. She would sing and sing until her voice grew tired. And now I sit here with tears rolling down my cheeks knowing that I will never here her voice again. I took it all for granted then and now she cant even squeeze my hand.

Triva Winner(s)

Well after reading all 3 of the comments. ahem. I have found that you are all cheaters. Yes, you are, for I actually went on google and typed in 'how long does a cat sleep a day' and what do you know, it said a cat sleep 13-18 hours a day. Well and you both got that exact same answer. ahem. I actually did some research and 3 out of the 4 websites said that a cat sleeps 16-18 hours a day. So know that I have two cheaters and a prize in my hand what is a girl to do? So here is the deal this time around I will let it slide and will give you the prize. The only problem is that there is 2 people and 1 prize. So then I would say well you can share it but knowing Hannah and Paige they would never share. Nope. So I guess that I just have to come up with two prizes now. They will both be the same lip balm back so you don't have to worry about it suddenly disappearing. Well now I guess it is time to say Congratulations. Altho, you are still cheaters.

Trivia Tuesday

What is the most common name in the world?

Did you get it right?

In the early days of the telephone, operators would pick up a call and use the phrase, "Well, are you there?". It wasn't until 1895 that someone suggested answering the phone with the phrase "number please?"

Wordless Wednesday

My hopless habits

I have many habits and they seem to be all hopeless to control. The main one is procrastination. For an example, As of right now it is 9:53 and I have not done an once of homework. No chores, No piano, No shower Nothing. I have sat here and um... watched a movie, read the target ad 6 times, um...texted, blogged and blogged some more. I am hopeless. A very annoying habit is when I am at the grocery store I have a compulsive urge to fix things. Not kidding. Me and Hannah go up and down the isles and find anything and everything that is out of place and have to put it in the correct place. Oh and clearance items well I love them, but I have to buy one of everything. For an example, I was in the checkout isle at Target and well...gum was on clearance. I love gum. So what does a gum-loving girl do? Buys it ALL. That's right I bought one of every flavor because I simply couldn't decide. So if anyone needs gum, let me know.

I feel like I have done nothing productive this whole year!

Let's Run Through the Rain

Here is a poem I found, I thought it fit my blog title well so I thought maybe you would like to read it:
A little girl had been shopping with her Mom in Wal-Mart. She must have been 6-years-old, this beautiful red-haired, freckle-faced image of innocence. It was pouring outside. The kind of rain that gushes over the top of rain gutters, so much in a hurry to hit the earth it has no time to flow down the spout. We all stood there under the awning and just inside the door of the Wal-Mart.
We waited, some patiently, others irritated because nature messed up their hurried day. I am always mesmerized by rainfall. I got lost in the sound and sight of the heavens washing away the dirt and dust of the world. Memories of running, splashing so carefree as a child came pouring in as a welcome reprieve from the worries of my day.
The little voice was so sweet as it broke the hypnotic trance we were all caught in: "Mom, let's run through the rain," she said.
"What?" Mom asked.
"Let's run through the rain!" she repeated.
"No, honey. We'll wait until it slows down a bit," Mom replied.
This young child waited about another minute and repeated: "Mom, let's run through the rain."
"We'll get soaked if we do," Mom said.
"No, we won't, Mom. That's not what you said this morning," the young girl said as she tugged at her Mom's arm.
"This morning? When did I say we could run through the rain and not get wet?"
"Don't you remember? When you were talking to Daddy about his cancer, you said, 'If God can get us through this, he can get us through anything!"
The entire crowd stopped dead silent. I swear you couldn't hear anything but the rain. We all stood silently. No one came or left in the next few minutes.
Mom paused and thought for a moment about what she would say.
Now some would laugh it off and scold her for being silly. Some might even ignore what was said. But this was a moment of affirmation in a young child's life. A time when innocent trust can be nurtured so that it will bloom into faith.
"Honey, you are absolutely right. Let's run through the rain. If God let's us get wet, well maybe we just needed washing," Mom said.
Then off they ran. We all stood watching, smiling and laughing as they darted past the cars and, yes, through the puddles. They got soaked. But they were followed by a few who screamed and laughed like children all the way to their cars.
And yes, I did. I ran. I got wet. I needed washing

Happy Easter
