Slice of Life #5

Danielle and I with our face masks..

 I'm so excited for this weekend! I get to go to King's Island with my family and friend, Danielle. I've never been there and neither has Danielle so that' will be a new experience for us because the rest of my family went last year. Friday I get to miss school in order to drive to Illinois to pick her and my brother, Jacob up. I'm really looking forward to being able to ride rides with a friend that I haven't seen in over a month! I think the rides I'm most looking forward to are the Diamondback and Drop Tower. We'll only be staying for the day but I think that'd be enough thrills and excitement to hold me over until the next time I'm able to go.

Slice of Life #4

I really hope to be more like my mom when i grow up. She inspires me to be more outspoken and care less about what other think of me. For example, the other night I was watching my brother's football game with my family and my friend Bradley and his parents because his brother was also on Matthew's team, and my mom saw a rather robust and elderly woman who threw her garbage on the ground so she called her out on it.
 "Excuse me, the ground's not a trash can," my mom told the woman wearing a white hat with words like "FAITH" and "LOVE" and "PRAISE".
 "Well if you care so much about that lid you can go pick it up yourself," the woman snootily replied.
 I couldn't quite hear what my mother said in response other than something about the woman's hat. This remark caused my step dad to tell my mother she was done and it was time for her to go to the car. For the moment everything was calm... that is until the game ended with our team winning further upsetting the woman. At this time my mom was completely over the lid thing and hadn't even expected what she said to the woman to cause such an up roar, however the woman wasn't finished.
 "If you still care about that lid you can go get it," She yelled at my family as we were leaving the stands.
 "Okay, I still love your hat," was what my mom had to say back to her.
 That's when the woman told my mom to "shut up" which caused Ricky, my step dad, to turn around and tell the woman she was fat and that he too was fond of her hat. That's when she chose to tell him some very choice words. I wasn't able to hear the rest of what happened because Bradley and I had chose to leave the situation and not look back.
 While that wasn't the choice situation to be in at the time, it's a prime example of why I love my mom as much as I do, she's not afraid to call you out when you're wrong. This doesn't go with just strangers either, she'll do it with me, my brothers and Ricky as well. But even if I get embarrassed while in the moment I want to be like her and not care about the consequences of calling someone out who's in the wrong.

Roscoe playing the first day I got him

He doesn't think I should have to do my chemistry homework either

 I've decided to take this time and write about my cat Roscoe. He's almost four months old and the highlight of my days. He's not like most cats who enjoy being by themselves, in fact he's the exact opposite! He constantly follows me around the house and insists on being underneath my feet. He loves playing with my dogs Pookie and Paige. They're always chasing each other around the house and jumping on one another. There is one thing however that really grinds my gears about him, he doesn't think that I deserve to sleep at night. Roscoe loves stepping on my face in the middle of the night and meowing in my ear, begging for food. He's a real great and funny cat that I hope to keep in my life for a very long time.

(P.S. he is currently cradled in my arms playing with the keys on my keyboard and purring!)
