Last night me and my roomies had a blast! We decided that we wanted to paint our green stools in the apartment to a black color instead and then distress it. So at 8:30 we went to Wally World and bought spray paint, sandpaper, and fabric so that we can make cushions for the seats too. We were so excited for this plan. So we get home and Kassidi and I start painting the chairs. Well she took the spray paint and pressed the trigger and instead of it spraying the chair, she decided she wanted to paint her face. Bahaha it was the funniest thing ever we laughed for a good couple of minutes to the point of tears. Oh she makes me laugh so much I love her! After that incident we were good and got them painted and here is our painting pictures.
My opinion, the chairs look SO much better! Cant wait to get the cushions done for them and the distressed look too. I am excited for this! I love to decorate the apartment!!!! Thank you Kassidi, Kylie, and Hillary for the fun we all had last night! I laughed so hard and loved every second of it!
As I sit here pondering, I wonder how it is even possible that this klutz has not hurt herself worse than she has. This first week of being back in Thatcher has made me get so many bruises and it is all due to one little incident. It was so stupid but funny too.
Wednesday I was trying to hang some picture frames up on the wall and also my magnet board up so that I can decorate the wall. Well something went wrong. No something went TERRIBLY wrong!
Here I am hanging up the magnet board by myself and get it all hooked to the wall and wiggle it around a little once it was up to make sure it was not going to fall. Well the wiggling did not make it move so I thought I was safe with that. Thinking I was ok I started banging some other nails into the wall for another picture and as I was minding my own business, something comes and smacks me in the face. It hit my forehead first and I was stupid and looked up and it hit my nose really hard then fell down my arm and landed on the bed. This all happened in 3 split seconds. I had no idea what came falling down on me till I got over the shock of the impact on my head and the pain vanished slowly. I looked up and saw that the magnet board was no longer on the wall and looked down and saw it was on the bed by my knees. I asked myself “self, how did that end up down there by your knees?” While I was understanding how it all happened and blinking in unbelief that I just got hit in the head with a big heavy board, my room mate Kassidi came running in from the kitchen and asked me if the board feel on me. I just looked at her still a little dazed and shook my head yes and started feeling the pain not only on my forehead but my nose and arm. I jumped off my bed and went to the bathroom and saw this huge red spot on my head and my nose was a little red. It felt like it was bleeding but thank goodness that was not the case.
I put that activity away for the night but tried again the next day and I got that pain back up on the wall and I got it up there good. It is not coming down this time.... I hope it doesn't at least. Cross your fingers please.
But now I have an invisible bruise on my nose and my arm is now a nice blue and green color from the fall. I better find some better luck soon while I am here or else I may come home with a broken bone or something. It is just destined.
Oh and one more short dumb story. Today in my math class we were writing a word problem down and I had to spell the word egg and something was not registering through my mind well today and I ended up spelling egg like "ayge." Geez! college is supposed to make me smarter not dumber.
Anyways hope you all have a great week. I will try to find some better luck and better spelling skills. :D
Wow this summer has gone by so fast! I have been so busy with everything that I forgot to come and update my blog. Shame shame Tessa.
As you know I have been working with a cute little girl through respite. I have enjoyed every bit of working with her. Some days really tested my patience because it is the independent stage of life for her but most days she was so loving and excited to see me and play with me. We went to so many museums. They were kinda hard for her to be in because the first two were not really kid friendly liker her mom thought they would be but the last dinosaur museum was more kid friendly and she loved it. She kept telling me through the rest of the week... "Tessa, a dinosaur goes RAWR!!!!" then she kept asking if we could go back the whole next week. It was so cute. This past week she was so obsessed with the monkeys in a barrel thats all she wanted to play with. We would hang them from her glasses and her ears and her shirt and whatever she found to hang them on. She is one goofy little girl and I lover her so much. My last day with her was this past friday and I am going to miss her so so much!! Her mom and sisters and her came over tonight and gave me a little present it was so cute! They are such a sweet family and I got to hold and hug her one more time before I head back to school tomorrow. I will definitely have to come and see her when I come back to visit.
Other than work, which I did a ton of, I got to go to the lake with my family a couple times. We went camping once at Roosevelt and I got to invite Brian my boyfriend to come for his first time to try the ropes. He actually did a pretty good job for his first time. He got up on the wake board for a couple seconds and had a lot of fun on the tube. I am glad he had a good time there I just wish we could have taken him again to get him some practice time with the new toys out on the water. Oh well sometime in the future he will go again with us.
I was able to spend some time with my friends too. It was much needed after not seeing them for a whole semester while being away at school. I was able to see one of my friends that I have not seen for a super long time. I think it was about 2 or 3 years since I have seen him. It was so great to finally see him again! I got to catch up a little on what he has been up to in the past years. He is still a great guy! I was glad to see that he was just like I remembered him.
I loved being home with my family the most though. I miss them when I am away and being home is amazing. I am sad that I am leaving them tomorrow again. It really has been fun to be able to joke with them again and I am sorry for them for having to put up with me and my jokes. But they took it like champs. And poor Tori. She had to deal with all my junk from college stuffed in her room because I had to move into her room. My grandpa moved into the house and I gave him my room so she had to deal with a stuffed room for the whole summer. Thank you Tori for dealing with that. I hope you enjoy the empty room now. You are such an amazing sister!
I just have to say one thing to my mom... Mom I love you so much. When I am away at school I always think about how much I miss you and how much I just wish that I could get a good hug from my mom. I miss talking to you every day when I am there and not seeing your beautiful face. You have a calming demeanor to me and are able to help me through all of my problems and when I am having a hard day you are the one who has me sit next to you and hug me and tell me everything is going to be ok. I miss that when I am in thatcher. You are such a wonderful mom! I can not ask for anyone any better than you! I know you are going through a hard time with all these changes but you have to know that no matter how many changes your life goes through, I will always love you and that will never change. We all love you and would do anything for you in the blink of an eye. I will come home as much as I can to see you and have fun weekends with. I can not wait for the next time I get to come and be home with you again. You are a strong woman mom don't you doubt yourself for even a minute. You are doing so well in school and everyone there loves you too. You just have such a loving demeanor that everyone loves so much. I am lucky to have you as my mom. Again I love you so much mom.
I will post more about what happens at school this semester. I am excited for the new fun and games there will be with everything. :D
