Just more random things

O.k. What has happened?? Well, I went to that wedding yesterday. It was pretty good - not too big or fancy. I really didn't get to talk to the kids too much. My mom talked to the oldest daughter Christine. Christine said she was there and that was pretty much it. She said its a final goodbye. I think she meant to her mom and now to her dad. I sat there watching the kids across the room before the ceremony started and I thought of how hard it must be for them. I can't imagine how it must feel to sit there and watch one of your parents pledge their life to someone new, to kiss someone thats not your other parent, to start a new life with another person. I tried to imagine one of my parents with someone else and it was really hard. I don't know if I could handle it. Even though their mom has been gone 4 years, it must still be really hard for the kids. They could use alot of prayer.

Yesterday morning, my sis, bro, and I went to clean at a business in town for the cleaning company we work for once in awhile. The place we were at is huge an deverything is gray. Gray walls, gray cubicles, gray floors, gray countertops, gray everything. Its quite depressing. Anyway, my brother and I were at one end of the building and all of a sudden the alarm goes off. We find my sister and she said she was bringing the garbage out and it went off. I quick called our boss who was across the street cleaning the clinic. He came over and called the security company but they had already dispatched the cops. They had to call them back. Quite embarassing.

Hmmm..... what else?? Oh yeah, I still can't get my locker open. Any suggestions? I considered bringing an axe with me and busting it open but I have a feeling that wouldn't go over too good with the principle and everybody else there. They'd probably think I was some deranged homeschooler or something:)

Hmmm...Maybe just my life

Well, not much has happened. Its sunny today, so thats good:)

Lets see.... Oh, yesterday I went to use my locker for the first time. I could not get the stupid thing open. I tried and tried and then the bell rang so I stormed off to class with my winter coat. I swear, the school must have those lockers rigged. Its just a stupid combination lock, right?? Oh no!! Now I sound like all those homeschoolers I know who are paranoid and are convinced that the public school is out to get them.

I am now officially the oldest employee at my first pizza job, from here on known as PF. Well, not the oldest. But I've been there the longest, except the owners. All the kids who were there when I started are gone, even kids that started after me have moved on. I've only been there 2 1/2 years. It feels weird. Like I'm being left behind. The last one to leave was this kid Tim who had been there 4 years. He was alittle weird. He would follow me around and just talk. I could have cared less about his stories. He had the dirt on everybody. He knew everything about everybody there. I will miss that. There are 2 cooks in particular that I will miss. Adam and Colton. I worked with them all the time. On weeknights there are only 2 cooks and 1 waitress. On the slow nights we would stand around and talk. One time we played pig with an old doughball. There was another time they ran out of the kitchen trying to scare me. Colton had rolled out dough on his head and tried to look like a ghost. The last night I worked with them I had to educate them on make up. Neither of them have sisters and so they asked me all these questions on makeup and girls. I was happy to oblige. Colton had heard of Clinique but had no clue what it was. I'll miss them. I have to post more stories of them.

Please pray for my dad's good friend Chris. He's getting married this Saturday. He's got 5 kids and the youngest just graduated this year. We were best friends all through elementary school. Chris' wife died 4 years ago from cancer. She had cancer for 15 years!! She had it before their youngest child was born. She was always happy and active. We had alot of stuff going on when my brother (now 12 ) was born. He was really sick and pretty much lived his first 2 years at the childrens hospital. Their family would take care of us when my parents needed to be with my brother. And we would take care of them when their mom was sick or needed to go to cemo and radiation. Chris had a stroke a year and a half ago and hasn't been quite the same. Him and his wife-to-be Elise have only known each other alittle over a year. They got engaged last Halloween. Elise has 2 girls and this is a first marrige for her. They're getting married at a Lutheran church and Chris and his family are Catholic. Chris' kids have said how they don't want anyone to take the place of their mom. Please pray that the kids won't be bitter and that everybody will just get along. Pray that if the opportunity arises, I will be able to talk to the kids. Well, thats all for now folks!!! L8r, Tammy

School Is Weird!!!

This has been a great school week -only two days!! On Monday we had a sub in my math class. Normally a sub would be great, right?? But not on Monday. Our teacher warned us on Friday that Mondays lesson would be long with alot of homework. She wanted to start on it Fri. but we talked her out of it. But without her there on Mon. the class was pretty much worthless. The sub didn't even tell us his name. He started out saying with much gusto, "Happy Monday!!!"
Me: * slouching in my desk, head leaned on my arm. Thinking " Yeah. Whatever."*
Sub: " So you may ask why its a 'Happy Monday' "
Me: * thinking * " Umm...Yeah. Please explain."
Sub: " Well, because you all get 5 days off of school. You get Wed., Thurs., Fri., Sat., and Sun. So yeah, it IS a ' Happy Monday!' " Like we're supposed to feel guilty for having 5 days off. Then he proceeded to tell us that he subs in just about everything from science to welding to math. But he's not very good in math and only took the required math when he was in highschool back in the day. And how he almost failed his one math class in college. This was all such a comfort to me. He then gave us a generous WHOLE 1 minute to correct our homework from the transparency at the front of the room. Then he gave us our assignments in the book ( which we had NO clue how to do) and sat at the desk an put little gold stars on things. So I tried to do as much of the assignment as possible but I ended up looking in the back of the text book for the answers but the answer key only gives SOME of the answers. So yesterday the teacher was back and had to explain Mondays lesson AND Tuesdays lesson.

And then..... On Tuesday, I go into the office to ask for a locker. I'm only there for on class but I decided to ask for a locker so I could throw my coat somewhere. The lady in the office acted like I was some weirdo for not having a locker. She brings me over to the other desk and tells the lady there, " This girl does not have a locker." Like its so unbelieveable. Then when I tell them what grade I'm in its even more unbeliveable. The woman is trying to look me up on the computer all the while mumbling to herself," What a day. Ughhh. What a day." She asks if I have a student i.d. No. She asks for my name. After I get done spelling it out for her she says " Oh! You already have a locker." Me: " I do?!?! " ( Communication at this school is not top priority ) She pulls out a map of the school and I'm thinking, " Great. Its WAY on the other side of the school"But no its down my hallway. I walk past it everyday. The lady prints up this paper with all my info ( turns out I do have a student i.d.# ) and my locker number and combo. She shows me were it is and asks me if I know how to work the lock. I'm thinking,' O.k lady, I'm not a complete idiot." Side note: I notice that I think these things but am always to scared to say them. Anyways, me the dingbat, is not able to get the locker open. I ask the woman which direction to turn the lock for each number. She freaks out and says, " How should I know?! I don't open lockers!!!" Whoa lady, don't spaz. She flags down a teacher who is able to open it and explains it like I am a complete idiot. So yeah. I know have a locker which I had the whole time but had no idea that I had it. Wheeww!!! I'm glad I only had 2 days of school this week ( and I only go for 1 class!) Ok I should end this post as it is getting late and Ive probably bored you to death! God bless , Tamoosh

prayer

So do you ever feel like God has forgotten you? Like you pray and pray and pray and it seems like its all for nothing? Like the biggest, most important things , the prayers you want answered the most never get answered? Like the things that mean the most to you, the things you really want, God could care less about? Thats how I've been feeling. Earlier in the summer, I came so close to getting something I've wanted for as long as I can remember. It was something I wished for every birthday for years ( well, except when I was really little and wished that I would turn into a mermaid. That was totally lame! ) I came SO,SO close and then as soon as it came, it vanished, was taken away in the blink of an eye. I am confused and keep asking why it all happend like this. I'm still confused and angery and frustrated. Like why didn't I do things differently? I feel like I wasn't worth the risk. At youth group on Wednesday, we talked about failure. Sometimes I feel like God failed me or that I've failed God. Like maybe He's mad at me. I guess I'm one of those " Oh, ye of little faith" type people.

O.k. people. On a much lighter note. Woody, my sis and I went to see The Devil Wears Prada last night. It was so good. Anne Hathaway is so different than when she was in Princess Diaries. We all came out of the theatre saying, " Man! We dress like bums! " All those designer clothes they wear and my nice clothes are so cheap. Oh well.

Oh, so about the football game last week. My brother went in and saved us seats while my sister and I waited for our friends. When we went in, I was the first one to go into the row, I ended up sitting RIGHT next to this cute Senior. The very kid my sister has a crush on. We were sitting so close our shoulders were crossed. I was practically on this guys lap!! My sister was alittle jealous. Then there were all these other kids sitting around us and they were shoving and stuff. I had a couple of guys fall back onto my legs. Yeah, weird. Then these other guys were kicking our rear-ends when they were shoving. Yeah, also weird. Well I guess I should end this post. Bye Ya'll!!!

I'm Not Sure What The Title Should Be.

So I'm technically homeschooled but I take math at the highschool. Its homecoming this week and I'm going to the game. I hate football and totally do not understand the game. So you may ask why I'm even going to the homecoming game. I go because its what kids do!! I went last year with my sis, bro and a friend. We froze our butts off but it was SO FUN!!! We mostly just kept track of all the players. My friend had a crush on like three of the star football players.And my cousin was another star football player. When we got there we were looking for a space on the bleachers to sit but it was really crowded. My sister looks over at the other side of the field where there was hardly anybody is sitting. She says, " Why don't we go sit over there? There's tons of room on those bleachers. " My friend is like, " Umm. Thats were the people from the other team sit." My sister, " Oh. " Shows you how much my family gets football.

This week was Spirit Week at school and Tuesday was flashback day. It was interesting to walk through the halls. I felt like I was in a time warp. Thursday was color day. 9th grade wore red,10th blue, 11th white,12th black. So I come in wearing a black shirt and almost my whole class was red, there was a couple blues , one white and two seniors wearing black ( including me.) The other senior is this disturbing looking kid whom I'm convinced is from the Alternative Learning Center and lives in the scummy welfare apartments in town. He looks Goth. Its the easy Algebra class and he acts like he's special 'cause he's a senior in the easy math. So I come in wearing the senior color black and this 9th grade girl turns and says really loud, " You're a senior?!! " The whole class turns and looks at me. I'm like, " Yeah ". Very embarassing. The Goth senior just gives me this deadbeat look and I think I took the glory away from him. He probably feels like he's no longer the special senior in the class. Oh well. Tough.

Well I gotta go. Laters everybody!

P.S. I got my senior pics back. I'm not allowed to post pics of myself but if you're really curious as to what I look like, my friend Kassy has them posted on her blog. Shes over at Xanga and her blog is called MiAmoEsKassy.

Just Random Things!

O.k. So I know that its only been 2 days but I'm so excited about getting my blog back that I can't wait to post again!

So yesterday I got my senior pictures done. I had my friend Kassy do them. She is SO SO good! She should seriously be a professional. We did some around our house and then went down the road to the campground / park. My sister and our 3 friends came with to do some buddy shots. We went out on the pier and did one of those pictures where everybody lays in a circle with their heads together. Except we couldn't open our eyes cause the sun was so bright. And it was like 8o degrees yesterday. It feels like summer is back! I wish. Anyways, it way really fun and I can't wait to see what they look like.

So I noticed that there is this warning on our computer keyboard that made me crack up. It goes like this:" WARNING: Some experts believe that the use of any keyboard may cause serious injury. Consult statement on the back of this keyboard. " Seriously people!! Is that not the lamest thing ever?! But I think it would be awesome one of those " experts " and think up bogus warnings and call it a job! I'm sitting her wondering how someone can possibly injure themselves really bad using a keyboard. Maybe someone broke a nail while typing and called it a " serious injury " Who knows.

I was reading blogs on another blog site the other day and this girl had a quote posted on her blog. I hope she dosn't mind if I use it. Its really funny. Some guy said, " I think the worst way to die is to be struck by lightning. Its like God's version of a drive- by - shooting. " That is SO funny!! I love it!

Anyways, I'm done with random things now. Bye! Tamoosh
