Yesterday was a BLAST. Carl and Colt came around noon with fishing poles and gear. We geared up and went to the bass pond for about 2 hours. We came home with about 6 fish, one in which I caught. It was fun.

About 2 o'clock we ate lunch/dinner. My grandmother fixed a butt load of food. I ate a butt load, too! biggrin My parents finally showed up with the other 4-wheeler. (They had went to Rutledge)

After we ate everyone jumped to the bikes and we zoomed away. We did what we did yesterday but with Carl and Colt. Stormy showed up a few mins later so it was then 3 4-wheelers, 2 trail bikes, 1 dirt bike, and the g-cart all barreling along, spitting rocks, and kicking up hella dust. We got several ditry looks from neighbors. I could really care less! biggrin

I rode on the 4-wheeler with Colt for a while. It was good bonding...reconnecting lost ties. It was nice, actually. I enjoyed it, we talked a lot about old times. Mostly back to Popi and when he was alive. We didn't talk about the fights or anything like that because that would just stur up old feelings and hurt. It was almost like old times. Carleena came down and visited it was just about like it used to be but there was something different.

You know that feeling of home? That sense of sercutity, belonging, and welcome. That is how I used to feel at my grandmothers house when everyone was there and me and my sister were playing with Colt and Carl. Holidays where always the greatest because I spent the day there with that feeling and having fun with Colt and Carl. When Carleena, Colt, and Carl where there today it almost felt like that again. It almost felt like it used back when things were okay. When Colt, Carl and Carleena left it was the equivalent to all of the cousins from Ohio leaving. I had no clue when I would see them again or if I ever would. The sad thing is my grandmother lives 2 miles up the rode and Colt and Carl live right up the rode from her. You can actually see them and what they are doing from my grandmother's house. Seeing them leave after almost able to grasp something, anything of what used to be was heartbreaking and I hated it....

So far today, mom woke me up screaming about something so I got out of bed still sleepy and I stepped on my pillow and fell down. I got back up rubbed the sleep out of my eyes and went to see what she wanted she said, "We are mowing the grass before it rains. No one is going to take a shower before the grass is mowed." I was like, "Gah, okay...." Of course I feel aweful right now. I am waiting on her to get in here to take her shower and I still have yesterday's dust all over me because I was too tired to take a shower when I got home.

Tuesday we are going to the Wisconsin Dells and should be gone for like 5 days. I think we will be back on Saturday. For those of you that have my number you can call me I should pick up. I"ll be really bored in the car. I'm not sure how long the phone will have signal but you can go ahead and try it! biggrin I will be bringing my mom's laptop so once we get to the hotel I will be on it so that will be a blast! wink I will probably post a Day by day journal about our trip too. I'll try to post pictures as well! Anyways, that's all so far for today!
