No one gets up this early!

Been up since 6 a.m…someone must die for this offense =.= Mom and Dad have already had time to argue about when we should leave. Dad wants to leave tomorrow morning; Mom wants to leave Wednesday morning. I kindly interrupted and suggested we leave Tuesday afternoon. After thinking it over, we all decided it was a good compromise. But then they say, if you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans...

We’re going somewhere with my cousins today. All I know is where we’re going requires a bathing suit. But right now there’s nothing to do. Mom’s getting restless and Dad’s watching some TV Preacher he doesn’t even like…No one wakes up this early. Mom’s now on the telephone, only to find out that my cousins have just started to eat breakfast. No one seems to realize that it’s summer, and that sensible people do not get up so early.

Now Mom’s all upset ‘cause she thinks we wont have enough time to see ‘everything’. This is Bigelow & Toadsuck AK. What’s to see?!

Well now they’ve gone to drive around for a while, and I am blissfully alone in our hotel room...Now this is a vacation.

Bloody mess of a day

God...today was sorta ok, but mostly miserable. After we left we went to this little place called Pickles Gap. We went from store to store looking at various goodies, and then we ate. Chicken & dumplings...and boy were they good. Then we went to see a dam and a fishery. The fishery was interesting...to a point...but you can only get so excited watching various sizes of fish swim.

Then we went to a lake. We came up to this first place and were testing the waters...only to find the ground covered with terribly jagged rocks...and Dad stubbed his toe on a rock running after a ball, and he took the toe nail of his right big toe clean off along with some of the skin! It looks terrible. He’s bleeding badly all over the place and hobbling around and telling us it doesn’t hurt at all. Uncle Billy said at least five times that he’d be crying if it was him... At first he wasn’t going to do anything, but we came on a man who was a paramedic...However, he was on vacation too so he didn’t have anything but tissue and duct tape...so we used that to wrap the toe up...We found another place that was nothing but sand (with an occasional rock) to swim in...But after an hour of him telling us not to worry and just have fun, and us trying not to worry, we all got tired and left. We ate at Taco Bell and then made for our hotel. Mom and Dad went across the street to Wal-Mart to get a first aid kit along with Peroxide, Neosporin, and stuff. Now, Dad’s howling as he pours the Peroxide over the toe...

And I am extremely tired. I swam so much today. Swimming is my favorite way to exercise, mostly because I hate to sweat. And I’m a little burnt...Mom says it’s a wind-burn because there wasn’t any sun...Just because it’s cloudy, doesn’t mean the UV rays don’t get through. I also got carsick twice (the whole way there, and the back again!). But after this short rest we intend to go back to my cousins for a visit. They had a church meeting or something, and since he is the pastor...

So now, we’re getting ready to go there...*sigh* another trip in that stupid car. And my Dad is putting shoes on! Crazy Masochist! Oh geese, I can’t watch. I’ll check in later.

Day's end

Ok...so, I spent the rest of the evening with Andrew, getting on the church’s computer to check and see how much junk mail I had...23 Junk mail and 5 or so were contacts. 2 of the 5 were Amazon.com. But even then I didn’t get to check the mail I had because the computer is old and the connection is slow and I wasn’t patient enough.

Tomorrow, we will get up, eat breakfast, pack up everything and meet up with everyone to go to Kim’s house. I so just want to be home. I’ve lost track of all the times I got carsick over the past 2 days. And I hate it when I don’t feel good, ‘cause then I complain, and I hate it when I complain! Ok...shutting up now. Goodnight.
