Time for New Shoes...

I don't like shopping for anything that requires me to try it on first.

Sleep Window

People say that when you are tired, you should just go to sleep then. Except the time I feel the most tired is not very convenient.

Sunscreen Required....or Else.

SUNSCREEN. WEAR IT.

Creative Grounding

My mom had to eventually get creative with what she'd ground my siblings from. At certain points in some of my siblings lives, they had gotten so involved with school programs, and other things that they had stopped doing conventional teen things like watching tv. We also didn't have any kind of gaming system, and the internet was not common yet.

Angry Clouds

We've been having a lot of weird weather this summer....

Things I Like: The Ocean

Ocean life makes for great drawing ideas. But I still don't like not knowing what is directly under me, or sometimes knowing just how deep it is can be even more terrifying.

SURPRISE!!!......(whew!)

Party for Mom: Part 08

Dad never invited anyone over for a visit spontaneously. We had people over, but it was always a well thought out event, cus you gotta prepare when there are seven kids living in the house.
As far as my mom assuming the candy canes were put up to annoy my dad.... yeah that's pretty much how my older sisters rolled.

We're getting there, but it ain't over yet!

Party for Mom: Part 06

The Zerr's didn't live far from us and had to decided to walk over. Unfortunately they were running late.

Party for Mom Part 05

John has always been adamant about when things are supposed to happen, and Christmas did not belong in July. He also couldn't keep a secret to save his life at that age! We'd be like: "hey John, I got mom slippers for Mother's Day! But it's a surprise, so don't tell her ok?"
and John would say "Ok." and then IMMEDIATELY go tell mom about the slippers. So we couldn't warn him about why we were decorating the house in July as if it were Christmas until it was almost too late.

Poor John...

Party for Mom Part 03

Mom just changed into some 'work out' clothes, which incidentally is also the same clothing used when painting the house or other physical labour that would mess up nice clothing.

Party for Mom Part 02

Migraines are the worst. My mom used to get migraines so painful, that she would feel sick all day. 
She usually felt better by the evening though.
