Mommy’s Random Thoughts

(1:39 PM Wed.) My mom, grandma, siblings and I went Rita hopping yesterday cause it was free Italian ice day (or whatever it's called). First time I got wild black cherry flavor and then the second time I got cotton candy. We had fun in the car together and my twin and I had fun singing songs that annoyed our baby brother ^-^

(1:50 AM Sat.) Yesterday my sisters and I were left alone in the house as our dad and two brothers went to go exercise and our third brother went to see Ghost Busters with his friend. Our mom even took our grandma with her to drop off said brother who was going to see a movie, so we took the chance to have a short tea party...though we didn't have tea since we don't really drink it XD. We did make a 1600s lemonade for our "tea" party. I got to use my delicate rose teacup, my twin her Alice In Wonderland teacup and our eldest sister her bird/forestry themed teacup. The lemonade tasted so delicious and our eldest sister even indulged us by taking pictures with us ^-^ (she hates using camera's on herself when not necessary). It was such a delicious drink and we had a fun, quiet-well, not completely quiet-evening. ❤️ (Edit: Oh! And my dad and I also got finished watching the Aristocats not too long ago either. He was falling to sleep, but it's alright, he was exercising hard yesterday ^^)

(6:17 AM Wed.) I'm helping my eldest sister with an online easter egg hunt. We have to find 300 eggs that are hidden on the site...but the thing is, we literally find one or two eggs for every millionth page we flip through! It is a mix between fun, irritating and relaxing all at the same time. We also believe the other participants in said competition are CHEATERS! Literally my eldest sister and I found out about it during the afternoon on Tuesday and someone (SOMEHOW) managed to find 60-78 eggs already. I said they either 1: have the workers participate in the contest (which they would know where everything is). 2: These people have done the hunt long enough to recognize a pattern or 3: THEY ARE CHEATERS! I go with answers 1 and 2 ٩(╬ʘ益ʘ╬)۶ (Edit: Oh! And if she gets first place she will get a grand prize of like...an $100-$200 gift card for the beading website. She makes jewelry so I always try to help her get close to first...sadly we still haven't made it yet. But maybe this year! ＼(≧▽≦)／)

(12:31 AM Sat.) I really hate possession. Does anyone here know how gruesome and terrifying it can be to see someone you know be possessed? I think it's even more upsetting because everytime everyone is doing good and taking two steps forward, crap hits the fan and someone pops off the chain and does something stupid or gets possessed (yes. It has happened before). I apologize as this post must be very random, but I am venting a bit. But, even though I may not see the plan fully for my life or the people I love lives. I do believe that my God has everything in control...but the whole opening up doorways for spirits possessing you has got to stop XD. Everytime someone almost dies or gets injured and I'm getting tired of these spirits messing with my family, me and my surroundings. It's getting old and I am ready for a life of peace! (Edit: other than that, my eldest sister and I have found 250+ eggs on our online easter egg hunt! Hooray!)

(8:09 PM Sun.) It's so frustrating!!! My eldest sister and I managed to get in first place on the online easter egg hunt for awhile, but stinkin' L Merrell (another competitor) took first place while we were asleep AND found all 300 easter eggs. We have found 279 and have only 21 more to find...but we literally have no idea where else to search. My eldest sister and I have (as far as we are concerned) looked through every page-even more than once-and found different ways to find an item, as the rules state, to find more eggs. But...while we may not have taken first this year, we are in the top 20 for the grand prize drawing, which is better than last year as we were in 90th place lol. Next year. Next year we will definitely find all 300 eggs, figure out the finer details of the hunt and take first place for ourselves!

(1:44 AM Mon) Had a really fun Saturday with the family. We woke up early to head down to Pennsylvania to visit our Aunts, they really want our mom (their niece) to come down with us kids more often (nevermind 5/6 of us "kids" are adults XD). The drive was great as always, though we still have to ride in separate cars as we don't have our conversion van yet, but we just had fun laughing and singing songs in the back seat (I hope our eldest sister enjoyed the free musical). When we arrived it-of course-was immediately hugs, laughter and our aunts and mom immediately asking if we were hungry. I believe we did start eating lunch when we arrived and the boys (of course) ate like they have been starving for centuries *insert eye roll*. But the sandwiches were good...I mean, they had cheese on them so I can't complain XD. After lunch we sat at the table watching our eldest sister's videos on her computer and getting good laughs from most of them. Then after that the three youngest people's (my twin, me and baby brother) went down to the basement to just chillax. I exercised on the treadmill while our baby brother played music on the TV and danced (he did a pretty clean and cool moonwalk). After a couple hours downstairs we went back up and immediately got assaulted by our aunt Jackie with snacks, then I curled up on our other aunt's seat and took a nap while my twin went outside to rollerblade. We had dinner a few hours later, made more jokes about the time our dad almost drowned when we didn't know he was drowning, and then went home. And our aunt Jackie apparently is trying to already plan something for us to do for the summer XD, it was a fun day though!

(10:49 PM Mon.) No one: ... No one at all: ... Our baby brother suddenly having an epiphany: "Ohhh. I think I know why my two boxing trainers didn't teach me today. They were celebrating-" looks up in heavy thought-"Muhammad Ali day!" My twin stopping her drawing to look at him in bafflement before laughing loudly: "Do you mean Ramadan?" Yes. Our baby brother did in fact mean Ramadan XD

(8:33 PM Tue.) My family and I had a very fun and productive day! We started the morning with our mom waking us up around 10-something in the morning so we can have some time to wake up and get dressed to leave, then we left for an event D.C. holds every year called "DC's Day of Play" or something like that, where you can sign up and just come to enjoy some food and games and music. As soon as we got there I immediately thought of playing on the swing set, but I decided against it and followed my family. There was a stage where music was blasted-and I lie to you not when I say, I was dancing literally all day. The music was pretty good and it was a shame no one else was vibin', but I think I danced enough to make anyone possibly watching tired lol. Anyhow, things officially opened up for free treats and games around 12:30 so we had to wait a bit since we arrived early, but as soon as things started we went to watch our baby brother play baseball and our family became the whole cheer squad as him and the kids played. Around 1 PM is when we went to the food trucks. Me, my eldest sister and baby brother got Jerk Chicken Nachos while my twin, second eldest brother and grandma got cheese burgers with chips and our eldest brother got Jerk Chicken with rice. After our food settled we went out to the football field to once again watch our baby brother play with the other kids, which is hilarious since he is so tall compared to every other kid there, but he had fun playing with them and we had fun watching. After he participated in the sack hopping race things closed up and we headed home, it was a gorgeous day out and all the sunbathing made me tan and tired XD. What a fun day though!

(9:47 PM Thu.) Today was a nice, chill day out. Our mom took my twin and I to TJ-Maxx for new clothes as she started buying all my siblings and I new clothes for spring and summer. We didn't find anything that looked like it would fit or that we wanted XD, but we got some strawberry lemonade and strawberry milk with Peruvian chicken for dinner after leaving the store...so I'm not complaining lol. Tomorrow we are headed to Walmart for some shorts and whatever else we will find there and then on Saturday we are traveling back to Pennsylvania to our aunt Jackie's to help her son pack his house up
