Thank God For Caffeine!!!

Ok,recently my internal clock has been seriously messed up. I have been going to sleep at twelve but then it takes me about thirty minutes to actually fall asleep. Then the next morning I wake up at ten or eleven. Then the bed time keeps getting later and later from two in the morning to four the next. So that makes the wake up time even MORE later. My Mom is a pro at waking me up but as of late her techniques don't work. If she pulls the covers off I get mad,and I will be mad the whole day. If she says "Annie,wake up". I'll say "Five more minutes". So then she will leave and I sleep another fifteen minutes. This isn't fun for either of us. Today I fell asleep at four in the morning. I then had to wake up at eight fourty fiveish. I was SOOO tired. When we got to Kingsway Dad let me get a Mountain Dew:Code Red. The Dew wasn't very strong in taste but it kept me awake through the whole service at least. Right now I think the Dew is the only thing keeping me awake at this time. Soon it will wear off and I'll be sleepy all over again. As far as I remember caffeine has never been a big deal with me. When I have caffeine I am calm and controlled unlike some people I know who bounce off the walls. I think I have figured out how to fix this problem by not having caffeine in the afternoon (I don't drink much soda anyway),going to bed at ten thirty and get a supply of Mountain Dew for the mornings when I can barely can get my eyes open. Lets just see how this plan works!!!

Annie the Cocoon

Today we had to go to Jamie's football at ten thirty. I being reasonably insane wore shorts but I brought a blanket thinking that it would be a little warm. Well we always have to get to the field about an hour early so his team can warm up. After about thirty minutes I was freezing!!! Luckily for me I brought a nice warm blanket. I was wearing an orange hoodie so I put the hood over my head and tightened the strings so all you could see was my eyes. Then I took my blanket and covered my legs and put what was not covering my legs over the rest of my body. Mom and Mark took a picture of me. This senario might not sound amusing but it was to my parents,Mark and bystanders. The game seemed rather long because I was suffering from being cold. A part of me wanted Jamie not to win this game (Because if he didn't there would be no more practices and games) but the other half wanted him to win and go to the finals. Lucky or not his team won the deciding game twenty something to six I believe. I might be able to convince Mark to put the photo of me in my cocoon on this Blog. We will have to see about that factor though.

Scarcity of Comments

I have noticed the scarcity of comments on my Blog recently. Is my life that dull to read about. I mean the people who plant advertisements have time to put comments on my Blog but my friends don't. I am not saying you guys are awful and never comment I am saying that I take the time to read your Blogs whenever you post something new and normally I comment on it. I feel like I should get the same respect. And when you read all of this don't take it the wrong way. I am just trying to voice my opinion on something that is bothering me to the extent that I need to post something about it.

Home Coming 2005

Yesterday afternoon Jamie,Mark,Mom and I went to Home Coming at Jamie's football field. The field was full of Flag,Minors,Junior,Senior football player. I think they were playing two different football games for fun on the field. The Home Coming rituals started a little late. Dad came in a separate car because he had to go to work. We waited while they called out the names of the flag,minors (the cheerleaders for each group also) and had to literally wait till the end of Juniors to hear Jamie's named called. Then Dad had to leave for work. Next came the calling of the Prince and Princesses of Flag,Minor,Juniors and Seniors. I knew someone who got to be a Prince on the Flag team named Logan who was in my AWANA group last year. Jamie unfortunately didn't get to be a Prince. They then called the King and Queen. I didn't really pay attention to that part. Next came the Powderpuff football game. This is where the cheerleaders play flag football and the football players cheered. It was amusing to see the cheerleaders play,although after a while I noticed that they were only going way which was boring after a while. The football players who were cheering looked more funny so I went down to the fence to watch. There was this one guy with something stuck in his chest to looks like boobs,that was messed up. Some guys were running around with fake hair and makeuped faces. The Seniors started running around with silly string and spraying anyone they saw. I think some of Jamie's friends did it too. The cheerleaders coach tried to make them cheer but not a lot of the boys were cooperative except for a few weird ones. This one boy in particular was rather large and when they did the butt shaking stuff.... you get the picture. Then they started lifting guys up in the air like cheerleaders do. I have never seen such a big bunch of wimps. Soon the game ended and it was pie time *dum-dum-dum-dum* (theatrical music). They called names to throw a pie at a coaches face. The person who threw a pie at the coaches face missed and it brushed the top of the guys bare head. His teammates weren't too happy. At the end Jamie got a cup with candy in it, I think the cheerleaders got a cooler "gift" thingie which was a big red water bottle. Then we went home and had Dominoes pizza.

Richmond AWANA Conference 2005

Last Saturday Dad and I went to help out at the Richmond AWANA Conference. Mom woke me up at six-thirty to get a wake-up-shower and to get dressed and ready. Soon Dad and I were out the door. First we stopped at church to see if we had a video my Dad was going to show at the Conference because Mr. R forgot it. Luckily we had it. Then we stopped at Doughnut Connection for fifteen dozen doughnuts for breakfast for a hundred some peoples at Conference that morning. We then rode a few minutes to the church where the Conference was being held. We went in and delivered our doughnuts into the Gym where they were supposed to be. I then met up with Bonnie and her sister. We held the door as people were coming in. Then Bonnie got bored so she went up the hill where the road was and got a nice orange and yellow vest so that people would come over so she could explain to park. Bonnie got bored again to she went up to the main church and put the vest on a chair. I didn't want the vest to get lost so I put it on and wore it the whole day. Both Bonnie and I were tired so we went into one of the Nursery rooms to sit for a while. We talked a little bit. We got bored again so we walked around a while and ended up guarding Scherer Hall because they were having the Rorheim Institute teaching in there and peoples were barging in to get to a different way to the other side. The way you are supposed to pronounce Scherer Hall is "Sher Hall". Well the day before I called it "Scher-sher Hall". Which when I said it,it would sound like "Shersher Ha". My way of pronouncing it stuck,I said it that way all day. Some how or another we both got recruited to carry water bottles by this girl named Heather. She was like a drill sergeant thinking she was the boss. It was annoying. Luckily we some how ran away after we finished. We ended up down at the bottom of the hill where Bonnie,her sister and I were able to have a doughnut. Most the time we sat in the sitting room ajacent to Shersher Ha talking and sitting. One of the times when we were down the hill the Chic-Fl-A cow van came with lunch. I thought I could wait until the second group of people came for lunch but all of the teachers were eating so I got my lunch which consisted of a chicken sandwich,Lay's Orginial chips,water and a big chocolate brownie. It was very good. Good thing I did have mine a little early because at teh end there was no more chicken sandwiches left!!! By this time none of the kids had any caffeine left in them so we sat in the shade. Heather pretended to slap some of us. Then she threw a bit of water on my back. I told her she better watch her back because she shouldn't be picking on people three times stronger and bigger than she is. I think she thinks she is some kind of girl who can get away with anything. She was joking around with a guy who is a police man who goes to their church but he was watching the traffic and stuff and she pretended to slap him or some thing like that. I wouldn't have done that,at least I respect authority. So anyway, I did more hanging out. Bonnie went home early because her back was hurting bad (She has back problems). I didn't do much afterward except for help my Dad rearrange the rooms to what they used to be. We had to leave early because my Dad had to work that night. We went to Dairy Queen for a Blizzard and some Gas for the car. Then we went home.
