'A series of fortunate, & somewhat unfortunate events'

Our American Eagle order finally came today! I got this darling 'graphic T'. Isn't it darling? It's a bit see-thru though, so I'll have to wear something under it. But it's still cute. Spring vacation today! But I still have to do school work, because I was sick Thursday, Friday, Saturday. We've all had it throughout the week. It consists of a runny-nose, achy muscles, coughes, sore throat & lungs from the cough, head aches causing eyes to hurt, and fevers. scary I tell you. Mia & Noah still havefevers. And, today is Noah's interview for his visa. If this goes good, we can move back in mid-April. (AKA: around Mia & Noah's B'days) This is probably why I had the dream that I mentioned in the previous posting. Everyone who's been saying they'll come visit us for years but haven't, you gotta come within the next couple weeks. From Wednesday, we've doing deep cleaning around the house, and we've thrown 7 garbage bags full of things away, and given 13 away. and we're putting out some magazines right now to recycle, and there's still more to get rid of. And I am not looking forward to the game closet whew!

'While I was sleeping'

I had a weird dream that Our whole family was going to the US for only one day just for Mia's B'day. If that were only so... While I was uploading the icons for this post, Mia looked out the window, and started getting mad at our cat Pippin. So I asked her why she was scolding him, and she said that "Pippin is eating himself! He's licking his leg!" When I was refilling the kerosene tank for our heater, I threw one of my mom's jackets on, since it was right there. Noah was beside me putting his coat on before we went outside. Noah suddenly realised that I was wearing a jacket. He got all excited and started patting ny stomach as though he thought since I had Mom's coat on, maybe I had a baby in my tum. I had to take him on the train to meet my dad to get medical check-ups for his Visa. He was very cute until we had to go home. It was right when he was supposed to be taking his nap, so he didn't feel like he should have to walk, and I should have to carry my bag, the diaper bag-full of stuff for him- And Noah. We had a big fight when we were almost home, and he was crying 'cause I wouldn't carry him. I finally had to throw one of the bags down, pick him up, and get the bag later. People I knew where looking and everything. And now, I have change an extremely stinky diaper because it made Mom throw up. At least he called me nice afterwards. On Saturday we had a before-Youth-Conference-meeting. It was so boring. The leaders planned it, and made us play this 'game' that adults like to enforce apon children at school & church even though no one likes it. Everyone has to go aroundd introducing themselves to eachother, and make notes on a piece of paper. This time, there was 16 squares, and the leaders would draw a name, and if you had written that person down, you mark it. So it was bingo. If you got a bingo you earned your group for Y.C. points, and since our group only had 3 people(everyone else left), we didn't get ANY points. People made fun of us. Is it some kind of curse I have to never end up in the group with the energetic, talkative, fun people? They always seem to be grouped together. Are the leaders plotting against us? What has become of the Youth? it's turned into the leadersdo what they want. They plan what activities they want, when they want. And, the Youth go alongwith it. If I make a suggestion, I'm always outvoted. The leaders only ask "what;s in it for us?" They come to the pilaties activity they planned, but when it comes to Y.C., they make the parents drive. And they force the parents into it weeks in advance, asking you over, and over if you'll go, till you finally say yes. Once again I say "What has become of the youth?" Enough depressing talk.

The sakura are starting to bloom. Only the white ones. I picked

one off, and plan to press it in rememberence as the first sakura

of the year.

'Oops I did it again'

I ate too much sugar, and my stomach is now

regreting it. Our kind bishop went to Cozy

Corner and got us cakes for White Day. This

is the first time the men of Kasai returned

Valentines treats to the women. There were

cheese cakes, chocolate cakes, cream puffs,

custard tarts, ann tarts, crepes, swiss rolls,

and eclaires. OMG! And then, Daddy gave

us each a Tolberone bar. yay! I got my

Personal Progress completion certificate in

sacrament meeting! I'm finally done! When

we got home, we got to eat my daddy's chicken

soup for lunch. After reading, sewing, and

sudokuing, Noah helped me make peach

cobbler. He's turning into quite a cook. He

knows each cooking utensile-ware, and can tell

the difference between pies, cakes, cookies,

muffins, and cobler. After it had cooked and

cooled Noah helped me, yet again, to make

ice cream. It was quite yummy. I found my

five year old camera the other day, and have

been trying to download pictures, but my hard

work has so far been in vain. I'm gonna try on

a different computer, so we'll see how that

works.
