First half of the week

OK, so starting on Monday nothing really exciting happened. I started my monthly cycle so I was kinda moody but definitly in pain. I spent the majority of my day on the couch with a good book (or the remote to a big screen tv... he he he). Anyway, that evening I felt much better and so I was able to walk around the sub with my mom and dad and baby brother.

On Tuesday, I was feeling icky in the early morning but by 9am I was ok. We tried to make it to a 10:30 showing of Nim's Island for $1 at a theater near our house but they were sold out by the time we got there and we arrived at about 10:20 or so.
I was happy because I had seen in the Kohls ad a buy one pair of jeans get second free deal and my mom said we could go in the evening after dinner. So I had something to look forward too because I have been wanting to use my giftcard for Kohls for a while.
I went babysitting at 2:30pm and everything was going well until Noah (age 5, 6 in two weeks) locked me out of the house because I sent him to his room for something he had done wrong. I was pretty upset with him once he opened the door five minutes after I was done screaming and banging on the door with Marina (age four) and Summer (age 2) looking around and probably slightly confused by what I was doing. I gave him a longer time out that usual for that and told him "NEVER do that again!" So that was the first excitment of the day.
I got home at a little after 5pm and ate dinner with my lovely family. We had grilled hamburgers and veggies. It was really good! After cleaning up the kitchen and getting my baby brother to bed, my mom and I left for Kohls.
I found some jeans I really like right away and tried on two pairs (both different sizes) to see which side I would need. I ended up getting the size 5 so that when they shrink they will still fit right. So since it was buy on get one free, I would have gotten two pairs of jeans for $31.67 but I had a $20 gift card so then my total came to $11.67 but then I had a $10 coupon for the Juniors department so in the end, my total was $1.67 for TWO pairs of jeans!!! Is that a GREAT deal or what! Talk about some serious blessings from God here. I also found some really cute shorts that I wanted to buy (i will post pic of them tomorrow) but we had a 20% off coupon that we could use the next day so I put them on hold for Wednesday. When I got home from Kohls with my amazing jeans, I showered and then called my friend Katelyn to ask her to go to the Nim's Island movie with me the next morning. She said sure so the rest happened Wednesday.

On Wednesday, I woke up from my alarm clock at 7:20am but didn't get out of bed until a little after 8am. I was reading my book and didn't want to put it down! We had eggs and toast for breakfast (compliments to the chef, thanks Mom!) and then we got dressed and ready for the movies. We left our house 15 minutes before 10am so that we would be sure to get out tickets this time! Well we arrived to find out that the theater doesn't open uptil 10 so we had to wait 12 minutes til we could get in. After purchasing our tickets, we ran to Kohls (right down the road from the theater) to buy my shorts and some clothes for my brother from putting them on hold the day before. They couldn't 'find' them!!! So we said, "Please continue looking and we will return after our movie to buy them". We arrived at the theater just minutes before the movie started and joined up with my friend Katelyn. We had a really hard time finding seats and Katelyn and I had to sit in a different row than the rest of my family because we couldn't find a row with 5 seats all together! The movie was great! I liked everything except when the dad makes a mention of "mother nature". Anyone with common sense knows that there is NO mother nature! But anyways, after the movie, we went to JCpenny because we had a $10 coupon for anything we want to buy and I bought the cutest wedge heel silver shoes to wear with my nicer dresses and with my prom dress for the Masquerade Ball coming up in October! I was so excited because they were on sale regularely $45 for only $11 so we had to pay only tax and $1!!! Then we went to Kohls to pick up my shorts and I bought them. During all this, Katelyn and I are taking turns holding my baby brother so our arms wouldn't get too tired.
We finally got back to my house two hours after the movie had ended! Our "quick" errands hadn't been as quick as we had thought they would be. : P
Katelyn and I made pb&j's for lunch and ate them while watching a couple episodes of Monk. While we had been watching Monk, my grandma had come over to visit my mom and see the baby. Since Katelyn lives so close to where my grandma's house is, my grandma took her home so my mom wouldn't have to so it all worked out perfectly.
At 5pm, everyone except my baby brother and I, left for the chiropractor. Me, I just stayed home while my brother napped and relaxed with my book. My brother woke up after sleeping for 90 minutes and I took him out on the porch and turned on the fountain. He loves watching the water. My family came home with a supreme pizza (not the healthiest choice but we had salads with it) for dinner. I went to bed after another shower, said my prayers, read my book until I couldn't keep my eyes open, and finally fell asleep.

Today my cousins and Aunt came over. We had a nice time visiting them. We chatted, I spent some time talking with my Aunt and mom and grandma (she arrived shortly after my aunt) and also spent some time caring for my baby brother while my cousins and siblings played together outside. We had chicken salad for lunch (homemade) and then we chatted and relaxed together. The time flew by sooo fast! My grandma left at 4 but my aunt stayed for dinner. Everyone seemed to be eating something different for dinner! My parents had pasties, my aunt had tortilla soup, my baby brother had apricots and chicken baby food, my sister had a turkey sandwhich, my cousin Kaylyn had a chicken pot pie, my cousin Gabrielle had a bologna sandwhich and I can't remember what my brother ate and I had leftover pizza from the night before! I ended up washing 9 dishes from out meals! LOL We were sad when our cousins and Aunt had to leave but we will see them again soon. After they left, my friend called and she and her brother came over. Her brother Jason came to show my brother some stuff about the guitar because my brother is thinking about taking lessons. I hung out with my friend the whole time they were over. After they left, I rode my bike a bit, took a walk with my family, and then came inside to get ready for bed. After helping bathe my baby brother and get him in bed, I got on the PC to type all this out!I am really tired now so this is the end for now.

I will post more l8r,

Until next time,
