Laundry day!!!

-
Last week I took on the challenge of folding the laundry. A whole sofa full of laundry!! None of my brothers wanted to help, but Caterpillar and Mel were eager to fold with me. Even with their help it took a long time!!! When we finally finished folding, and putting away the clothes we all sat on the sofa. As we sat there proud of our work, the boys wanted to get on the couch too. I decided to tell them the fable about the Ants and the grasshopper. Then I asked them,"What did you do all afternoon while we worked?" I already knew the answer of course but Buster said," I was trying to get Mr. I don't want to fold the laundry boy to work with you." I started laughing and told him that I had been listening to him practically the whole day! Suddenly he was quiet. They both walked off quietly back to their room to fold the clothes that I had put on the bed.
The end.......

    I listen to my play list as I do laundry. I got a little bored with it because it kept playing the same songs over and over! Last week I did the laundry by myself.*sigh* It took a lot longer than I anticipated.

Please Keep Your Clothes On!!!

One day as our dad cooked dinner and my sisters and I were setting the table we decided that like Snow White's annoying 'whistle while you work' admonition we also needed something to do while we worked. Suddenly without a word of warning all us girls suddenly burst out singing ' Clothes Off' by Gym Class Heroes. Dad was horrified! As we all shoulder shook, and sang into our forks he just shook his head at our craziness and went back to cooking.... I would like to see Snow White and her animal posse do that. "We don't have to take our clothes off to have a good time, oh no......"

There are no good reasons to be 13. I think I'm going to skip to 14!

This is the semi-positive side of turning 13. Yes this is as positive as it's going to get. So on with the list....... 5. I can regularly watch PG13 movies. (It's not like I want to, I haven't watched a good movie in a long time. I sincerely doubt that PG13 movies are better.) 4. It'll be one year before I can start Seminary! (I can hardly wait!) 3. I can join the "special" group of girls that are already 13 . (They all sit in a corner and call it their seats. *gag* Never! You'd have to kill me first to make me sit over there.) 2. I still have 4 months to wait! *exhale* That's a really good thing. 1. And the number one thing is......... Monkey and I will be twelve for a whole stinky month. So when I turn 13 I'll finally be older than her again! *Hallelujah* *I know it's a while till my birthday but Ms. Cat Lady brought it up yesterday. Oh! And she may be 13 but she's not in the little group . I don't actually notice a difference. I

A book to feed your hunger!

I have just finished reading Scrambled Eggs at Midnight at midnight on Friday. I decided to read it after Cameo recommended it a couple months ago. Yes, I know it took a while but it was completely worth the wait. I wasn't enthusiastic about reading it at first, but as soon as I read the first line where she says,“My mother is a wench. It says so on her w-2″ I knew I was going to love it. Sure enough I "ate" it up, and it was really good. Thank you for recommending this book to me Cameo, and to all of you that haven't read this book you should! *Especially those of you who are hungry for a good book.*
