'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.
