Super.

I'm serious.  Even our house visitor is in hers-we told her and she had pj's on her like that.  We are all doing lazy things like watching dvds and catching up with Queen Bees and Degrassi on www.the-n.com.  I've finished Girls' Poker Night by Jill A. Davis and started reading Adios To My Old Life by Caridad Ferrer after that it's The Portrait Of A Lady by Henry James.  Yep.  Home is a really cozy place.

Plans

I finally convinced my dad and he said we can pick up that guitar friday, which is great because I think Nicky is as impatient as I am. Tomorrow it's back to the Memphis Zoo because my nieces liked it so much and apres ca a church choir rehearsal.  I know, me?  Singing about stories that seem like fairy tales to me while everyone else in the room believes it and might even feel understood by it?  My youth choir is short a few people.  Which reminds me that a few days ago I put in an application for Living Waters.  I wouldn't mind working there.  And somehow I have the feeling I said I'd call someone.  Too bad I lied. 

School

I cringe when I hear the words back, to and school.  I don't want to go and I'm not ready.  Mentally or physically because

A) I am not prepared to go back to running out of time on long assignments, waking up at five, and seeing my homeroom teacher, Mr. Bargery

B) I don't even feel like school shopping and I can't until my nieces leave.  Honestly, last year they visited right after I'd gone shopping and stole most of my new clothes on the day we dropped them off home.  Their mom didn't care.  Also I just don't want to hunt for good stores.  Maybe I can do this online? 

I've got to go do something to get this off my mind now, that's how much I don't want to go back.

Okay so usually special days aren't so special at my house. 

On New Years we just go to church in hopes that starting off in prayer will bring great experiences, yet we do the same thing every Sunday.

On Valentines Day mom gets chocolate and I sneak into it because she's always dieting anyway.

Nobody cares about St. Patrick's day anywho.

I think easter is in April and even then..so? 

I forget all of the holidays after that-they're so forgotten (okay all but Hollween, the 4th, VERY FEW birthdays and Christmas).

Where was I?  Oh, yeah well this Fathers' Day I will change how the Kerr family thinks of hoildays.  I;'m going to...GIVE A GIFT!!! or maybe CELEBRATE!!!

Most people hand over ties and mugs, but I'll give an original gift!...just after I think of one.

[crickets chirping]

Well I'll get back to you on that. 

Saturdays are our family days at my house.  Yesterday I wanted a baked patatoe for dinner, so we headed out to Walmart.  After we had all we needed, grabbed a bunch of stuff we didn't need and were about to pay for it all when we realized my mother's purse was gone. 

Someome stole it.

So we walked around searching, looking in other's baskets, talking to workers and departments until our legs hurt.  We just decided to leave because it was too late.  Outside it was storming really bad.  We searched for our red minivan until we realized it was gone.

the purse had keys to the van-with a remote.  Whoever it was has my mother's social security number, keys to our house, our address is somewhere in the van, money, everything but her cell phone.

I never thought it would happen to us.  My family was stuck at Walmart and we had to bum a rie off of a family friend from church, Decan Davis. 

Of course we contacted the cops, the credit card companies and insurance peoples.  Want to know something weird? I had a deja vu of being in the Millington police's office.  I had seen it all in a dream. 

Some family day.  And all that becuase I was out of my fancy facial cleanser and wanted baked patatoes.

Today is Mothers' Day!  That is something good.  And at my church we celebrate it as women's day-so all young women and moms got presents and "Bless you"s.  That was cool.  The weird thing here was that Antonio asked my mom to go to a Mothers' Day concert with him and he'd pay. 

Antonio is a kid that goes to my school and he is a church member.  And awfully friendly, might I add.

So currently, my mom is watching First Sunday (rolling eyes) with my niece in the living room.  I'm here and being grateful for the stuff that guy didn't take-he could have had my house, you know.  Thank God.

I've taken up a lot of crafts, like making purses.  Some friends saw mine and want me to make them one.  I'd show you, but Vox isn't accepting these pictures.

I've also taken up knitting just a few hours ago.  I'd better continue-it's a fun hobby.  Confusing, though when all you have are youtube videos to instruct you, but I got the hang of it and I never thought I'd be a fast learner.

Oh and I found an article that would describe what I'm feeling about religion right now:  Cosmo May 2008 it's called "religion by design" Here's the closest thing I found- http://jezebel.com/384817/cosmo-girl-choosing-a-religion-is-just-like-choosing-a-myspace-wallpaper
