Hello again! October 5, 2007

Posted by Anya in : spontaneous degeneration , trackback

*hums*

*tries to think of how to start an entry*

You know, it used to be the easiest thing in the world to write blog entries, and I wondered why Abby didn’t do it more often.

Now, for some reason, entries no longer seem to write themselves, and apparently I’m too lazy to put much effort into it.  I think part of it is the fact that most of you who’d be reading this are people who I already talk to fairly often. 

And yes, in case you are wondering, I’m currently parallel-posting on xanga and reformedblogger.  Xanga’s layout is more fun and user-friendly.  Reformedblogger, obviously, has the lovely aspect of having “reformed” in the name.    The reason why I am not posting on my homeschoolblogger is because… It. Won’t. Let. Me. Log. In.  Grrrrr. 

I’m still trying to wrap my mind around the idea of going to college.  The idea that in a year, I will be somewhere else (not at home), with other people (not my family or the youth group kids) is rather… boggling.  I think I like it, but it’s difficult to say.  Yikes.

This post, I see, is just going to degenerate into randomness.  So be it.

I killed two enormous mosquitos at church last night.  My sister would complain that it’s inhumane.  But really, from either point of view (the mosquito’s or mine) it’s extremely humane.  Mosquito - think of all the generations of little mosquito-lets which I am saving from being squished.  At one fell blow, too!  Mine - the mosquito is out for my blood.  It declares war.  Mosquitos are thin, mosquitos are rude, they feast on your skin for take-out food.  (From Insectlopedia by Douglas Florian.)

We’ve all been laughing at this… and… um… quoting it.  And trying to come up with a version for camp.  With the corresponding things the guys’ and girls’ counselors have to say.  Guys:  “Take a shower already.”  Girls:  “Get out of the shower already.”

Lyrics… “The Mom Song”Get up now
Get up now
Get up out of bed
Wash your face
Brush your teeth
Comb your sleepyhead
Here’s your clothes and your shoes
Hear the words I said
Get up now! Get up and make your bed
Are you hot? Are you cold?
Are you wearing that?
Where’s your books and your lunch and your homework at?
Grab your coat and gloves and your scarf and hat
Don’t forget! You gotta feed the cat
Eat your breakfast, the experts tell us it’s the most important meal of all
Take your vitamins so you will grow up one day to be big and tall
Please remember the orthodontist will be seeing you at 3 today
Don’t forget your piano lesson is this afternoon so you must play
Don’t shovel
Chew slowly
But hurry
The bus is here
Be careful
Come back here
Did you wash behind your ears?
Play outside, don’t play rough, will you just play fair?
Be polite, make a friend, don’t forget to share
Work it out, wait your turn, never take a dare
Get along! Don’t make me come down there
Clean your room, fold your clothes, put your stuff away
Make your bed, do it now, do we have all day?
Were you born in a barn? Would you like some hay?
Can you even hear a word I say?
Answer the phone! Get off the phone!
Don’t sit so close, turn it down, no texting at the table
No more computer time tonight!
Your iPod’s my iPod if you don’t listen up
Where are you going and with whom and what time do you think you’re coming home?
Saying thank you, please, excuse me makes you welcome everywhere you roam
You’ll appreciate my wisdom someday when you’re older and you’re grown
Can’t wait till you have a couple little children of your own
You’ll thank me for the counsel I gave you so willingly
But right now I thank you not to roll your eyes at me
Close your mouth when you chew, would appreciate
Take a bite maybe two of the stuff you hate
Use your fork, do not burp or I’ll set you straight
Eat the food I put upon your plate
Get an A, get the door, don’t get smart with me
Get a grip, get in here, I’ll count to three
Get a job, get a life, get a PHD
Get a dose of,
“I don’t care who started it!
You’re grounded until you’re 36″
Get your story straight and tell the truth for once, for heaven’s sake
And if all your friends jumped off a cliff would you jump, too?
If I’ve said it once, I’ve said at least a thousand times before
That you’re too old to act this way
It must be your father’s DNA
Look at me when I am talking
Stand up straighter when you walk
A place for everything and everything must be in place
Stop crying or I’ll give you something real to cry about
Oh!
Brush your teeth, wash your face, put your PJs on
Get in bed, get up here, say a prayer with mom
Don’t forget, I love you
And tomorrow we will do this all again because a mom’s work never ends
You don’t need the reason why
Because, because, because, because
I said so, I said so, I said so, I said so
I’m the mom, the mom, the mom, the mom, the mom!!
Ta da!!!

And this also amused me… The Postmodern Medium-Length Catechism. 

I did two Spanish lessons today.  One on Rosetta Stone, one on Living Language.  Hopefully the stuff will be firmly thumped into my head. 

The church newsletter needs to be typed up.    I finally thought of something intelligent.  Rather than writing note-worthy news down on index cards, which have the annoying habit of getting mixed in with the other index cards in my Bible, and further misplaced through confusion over which Bible I put them in , I have begun writing it down in my notes-notebook.  Duh. 

Anyway… goodnight.

We all liked your “new proverb” and we use it in our house now. (Pretty soon, it will be used globally:))

…And the “Mom Song” is hilarious! :)

Maybe I should start feeding you random things from my life, and you could post them and pretend it’s your life. I’m sure I could give you plenty of ideas. :P

And yeah….. the college thing……. it still hasn’t quite sunk in for me that some of my friends are at college this year, or are going to be next year, and then comes my turn. It’s scary growing up.
