A Unpleasant Surprise

So. Last night we had a little surprise. It was kinda funny, but then again, horrid. *laughs* I guess I should just explain myself. So here it goes....

Last night around 9:30 p.m. my mom and dad were in their room watching a movie, Felicity and Josiah were in bed (watching something I think), and all of us kids had just finished watching an episode of our all time favorite TV show, "Father Knows Best" so were brushing out teeth, getting ready for bed, etc. 

I was standing by a chair in the living room when Daminika headed down the hall. Then I heard her screech..... "Eeee I just seen a mouse!!" Here comes Daminika, flying down the hall, and naturally she lands on top of the table, (because mice can climb up you legs if you're not careful) and up I go on top of the table with her. (if you haven't guessed, we're afraid of mice) 

I frantically looked across the floor, saying, "Where'd it go?!" 

Daminika slowly climbs down the table while explaining that it had ran down the hall, and either into my room, or behind the baby toy basket at the end of the hall. 

I'm standing there looking down the hall, hoping with all of my might that it didn't go into my room. A mouse in my room?! No way was I going to sleep in there until we found it. "Are you sure it was a mouse?" I asked slowly making my way down the hall. 

"Yes!" Daminika answered, behind my shoulder. 

I decided I would run down there and move the basket but before I could, my dad opened his bedroom door. No wonder he came out, we were making enough noise to wake the town. 

I point at the basket and screech. "A mouse! It's behind there!" I hope. 

My dad kinda laughs and comes out into the hall. He left to go get something to kill it with and came back with a broom. 

I back up behind him and hold onto Daminika, hoping some more that it didn't go in my room. 

So, my dad pulls back the basket with the broom and.................... no mouse. 

My brain is now panicking. Great. A mouse in my room. It was probably there last night too. It probably slept with me. Great. This is just great. 

Daminika gasps. "It's not there!" 

Uh, duh. It's in my room. I ran down the hall screeching, "I'm not sleeping in there until it's dead!" So, into the kitchen I go and up onto the island. 

Felicity and Josiah had just come in, and Felicity obviously noticed my fear and pulled her feet from the ground asking, "What? A mouse?!" 

I nodded. "Yeah, and they can't find it. It's in my room I just know it!" I stubbornly pulled my knees up to my chest and pronounced, "Yep, here I stay until it's gone."  

LaKaysha, for some odd reason, decides to go into my room to get ready for bed. Uh, lady. There's a mouse in there. What are you thinking?
Then we heard her, "Eeee, I just seen it!!" 

I ran down the hall, some odd reason. I'm terrified of mice so why did I go down there? I don't know. But there I find myself, standing by my doorway, pretty much clinging to Josiah's arm. "Where'd it go?" My eyes began searching the floor and... Swoosh! Here it comes, straight for my feet. 

Naturally I scream, elbow Josiah in the stomach, and run down the hall in sheer panic. Into the living room I fly, and onto the hide-a-bed. "It tried to eat me!!" 

Felicity is sitting on the bed laughing. "Where'd it go?" 

"Straight to my feet!" I scream. "So, I accidentally elbowed you're husband in the stomach, and ran down the hall."  

So there we sit trapped on the bed, with a horrid little creature in my room. 

LaKaysha is standing on my bed trapped, so Chancy has to carry her out. 

Then my dad, Josiah, and Chancy go into my room and close the door. We hear banging, laughing, and jumping. 

Now my mind is whirling. Great. My room is just a complete mess. It's probably a disaster. 

And just so you know. This isn't the first time this has happened. We live in an old house, so it naturally has mice. And hobo spiders. Yeah, I know. Our house is kinda dumb. But hey. It's home. 

After about two hours of banging around in my room, the door opens and Chancy pronounces, "Ok. The coast is clear!"    

So yeah. After all that, and my room is put back to order, because it was a disaster, and everyone is settling down for bed, it was 11:00 p.m.

So, how was your night last night? Ever have mice running around your house? Do you like unpleasant surprises?  

 

 

Random Ramblings || Life

I thought I'd do a quick, little review of what I've been up to in my life. Since I haven't posted it a long time. *hides face* Sorry guys.....

As all of you must know by now, my sister and brother-in-law have officially moved here. *happy dance* It's great to have them here, and great to just wake up in the morning and seeing my sister's adorable baby belly! *laughs* (as I think most of you know, they are living with us until they find a house) This is the first time anyone has been pregnant, for me to remember. I was the last baby to be born so I don't remember my mom being pregnant. And let me tell ya, I can't stop touching my sister's belly! *laughs* I do think she's getting tired of me. *hides face*

*squeals* Look at that cute belly!!!!

Saturday I had my cousin Kylie, from out of town, sleep over. *smiles* We had a good time, and I'm so thankful to have been able to spend some alone time with her. But before she came, my sisters took me, Kylie and Damara to the mall. It was loads of fun, and I even bought myself a book!

Yesterday we all headed on the road after church towards the beach. *sun glasses* It was a long drive, (about two hours) but totally worth it! We met some family friends there and looked about a store a relative has, and then headed to the actual beach. *grins* I ran most of the way, and hit the water at full speed. Not. *laughs* I had to slow down or I would get my pants all wet. Which I did anyways.  

We've been having nice weather, for the most part. Some reason it has decided to rain and give us our green grass back. *shrugs* Oh well! We do have nice days and then back to rain and then nice again.

And I guess that's all that's really interesting in my life. *laughs*

Later this month I will be going to my double cousin's wedding. *gasps* I still can't believe, Dustin's getting married. Goof ball, Dustin. He's too young. *laughs* Not really. But I just feel like he is.

It feels like everyone is growing up too fast, and I want them to stop. Me included. *sighs* I've been going through a harder time, trying to accept growing up, changes, and life. I sometimes feel like I just want to sit down and bawl for no good reason. Does everyone go through that? I know most of us do. At least I think I know. *laughs*

A N Y W A Y S !

Enough of that. I hope your month has been going great, and continues to. *smiles* Have fun, and may the good Lord take a likin' to ya!

Lottie || Then and Now

Hello my dear blogger friends! *grins*
I thought I'd do a little then and now post of my little, lovable, cuddly, puppy dog, Lottie! *laughs* She has grown up so much, and it seems as though it was yesterday when I got her. *sighs* My how time flies. She has gotten super big, loves to run, and sometimes steal shoes.... *shrugs* We're not sure how to get her to stop that habit she's picked up. Any suggestions?
A N Y W A Y S ! 
Enough chit chat.

*sighs* Oh my, this dog has such a big spot in my heart. Gary didn't know what he was giving when he gave this little one to love and care for. I thank God for her, and I wouldn't trade her for the world!

Goodbye 2019 School Year || Things I'll Miss

Some people out there are super excited to be ending a school year. And normally I'm right along with them because it means more time to do things you've wanted to do for a long time.

It's not that I'm not excited to be done with school for the year, but what I'm not excited about is that it is the last year to be doing school with someone.

As most of you know, I'm the baby of the family. So, that means I'm gonna be the last one doing school and things like that. This year, my brother Chancy graduates and will be going off to work full time. I'm excited for him, but not very excited for me. *sighs* I know that's selfish, but I'm really gonna miss him. <3

I remember being little, doing school with all the rest of the kids, and thinking that someday it'll only be me doing school, and everyone will be either married or at work. Well. That time has come, and I'm not to thrilled about it.

I've been trying to accept that things are changing and it's time for moving on. 

I sometimes feel alone, and as if everyone is growing up too fast. I think about when I'll be eighteen, everyone else (as in my siblings) will probably be married and not hanging out anymore. I've always wanted to hang out with my sisters, and I've realized that I'm quiet a bit younger then them and I probably never will get to do it with them. Or only I'll only get to for a little bit.

I'm trying to accept growing up. Some days I feel as though I can't wait to be off driving and working, and then getting married. Then, I get scared and I just want to stay young forever. *sighs* 

Well, this post title says in it "Things I'll Miss", and the things I'm gonna miss most about Chancy graduating and working full time are:

• A smart brother to help me with a math problem that stumps me. 
• Someone to take up the whole couch in the morning when I just wake up. 
• Someone to bug me while I try and write in my book, or do anything. 
• Someone to play music while I'm tying my hardest to do school. *smiles*
• Someone to always goof off with when you're bored during the day. 
• And then most off all, I'll miss the days where we used to always play. Having a big brother like Chancy is the most wonderful thing any girl could ask for. 

I love you Bro <3

Here are a few pictures through the years of me and my big brother. Enjoy! 

Me and all my amazing siblings. <3 

Drawings of Mine

Hey guys! I thought I'd show you some of my latest drawings. The first one I can't remember if I already showed you, but hey! Who cares if you see it twice?! *laughs* I hope you enjoy them, and if you have any pointers on how to draw, let me know! Enjoy!

  

 A redo of my first. *smiles*

Captain America! *grins*

 Oh, oh, oh, oh! Johnny Yuma from, "The Rebel" *dreamy look*

*hides face* Since I love this one so much you get to see it again. *giggles* 

There you have it! My drawings. 

Also, if you want to read the first chapter of my book, go here. *smiles* (I hope you will)

Hope you enjoyed this little post! (oh, and by the way, my camera keeps working, and then not working, so you might get a monthly photo dump after all. *shrugs* Who knows?) *grins*

Exciting News!!

So, as most of you all know, my sister Felicity got married last last year, and moved 3,000 miles away. Of course we were all sad, but I felt like it was (almost) the hardest on me. I could be wrong..... well actually, I know I'm wrong. It has been really hard on my Mom. So ANYWAYS. I felt that way because I don't have a phone so I can't text her very much, and stuff. I know I could probably just use the house phone, but that just seems weird, because I don't like talking unless I can see them. *laughs* Is that weird?! *thinking face* But over all, I miss my sister VERY much!

And not too many days ago my Mom got a text and guess what?! *keep your thinking cap on, because you're in for a long scroll* *giggles*

My sister and her little growing family is coming HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *happy dance* I am so happy and excited I can hardly wait! They will be moving here in the beginning of July. Finally. Finally my sister will be close by and just a skip, hop, and jump away. I have been dreaming and praying for this day to come and it finally has. 

The morning they text and said they were moving I had prayed that soon, God would answer my pleading prayers to bring them here, and just like that, He answered them. It is amazing how God works. It happened like that when I heard Felicity was going to have a baby, I prayed that morning and they called and told us. I almost cried at how God answered. 

So there you have it. The exciting news is my sister and her growing family is moving here. I hope you enjoyed this little post and I can't wait to see what you all have to say in the comments! 

Eeeeek! BIG NEWS!!

Ok guys. This is the most exciting thing that has ever happened to me. Like, WOW! *laughs*

The other day my Sister and her husband face-timed us in the morning. My Dad told all of us kids to go into the office\laundry room. I was so confused when I walked in, there was Felicity and Josiah just sitting there grinning. I thought maybe they bought tickets to come fly here, but, no. 

Are ya ready?!! *drumroll*

 My sister's gonna have a BABY!!! Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeek! I'm finally an Auntie! I have waited my whole entire life for this time to come!! *grins huge* I have hardly been able to stop smiling all the time. *laughs* 

So, there you have it. My sister is pregnant. *squeals* I'm so excited. But prayers would be appreciated. My Mom got really sick when she had babies, so we are all praying Felicity doesn't get that sick. *sighs* I'm just so happy. *smiles*
