Morning has Broken (actually nighttime IS broken)

So it's 3:52 in the morning, and I can't fall asleep because I hear crunching IN MY WALLS, and I'm honestly thinking it might be better just to stay up 3 more hours than try to wake up in 3 hours. As I write this, two options come to mind:

1: Get out my Bible and finish my homework for bible study next monday or
2: Yawn some more and turn up the music to drown out all the crunching that is IN MY WALL.

I think I had better go to sleep, yet here in Alaska, I can see the sun already beginning to rise, the birds are already singing, my brother down in Seward is getting up in 30 minutes to go to work..... is it really worth it to fall asleep? Honestly, if I fall asleep now, It won't be physically or mentally possible for me to drag my butt out of bed until at least 3pm, which would then offset my scedule for Wednesday morning when I have to babysit. SO if I stay awake I can try to make it to about 8:00 tomorrow night, then wake up on time for once to get to work ON TIME!!! Imagine that!

One problem. I've already exhausted every motivational and crafting blog there is, and I can't sew 'cause the machine is loud and my parents are light sleepers. Sewing right now = instant death or lecture. Either way is bound to be painful and scary (Have you ever seen two angry parents that are so tired they can't open their eyes and are fumbling around reaching for your neck? One word. TERRIFYING.)

I  may just sneak out and take the dogs out for a walk around the neighborhood. Or I could sit here and knit. Yeah that's probably safer. Well, YOLO. Then again, YODO too.


P.S: if you don't know what YOLO means, look it up, and use your imagination to figure out what YODO means.

The ABC's of Me

A: Age - Kid at heart forever

B: Bed size - Twin

C: Chore you dislike - Dishes and folding towels.

D: Dogs - Two, but one is my brothers. Fuzzner (don't ask) is the family dog, she is a golden retriever/rottweiler mutt (we think), and Fantasmo (Spanish for ghost) is her son, we think his dad was either boxer or pitbull.

E: Essential start to your day - My bible with a side of mocha

F: Favorite color - Green, but anything pretty will do. ("pretty" does not includes most oranges and reds, and NOT peach or puke green!)

G: Gold or silver - Silver

H: Height - 5'8"

I: Instruments you play(ed) - Hand-chime choir with Mrs. Remelard in Awana, Piano currently.

J: Job title - Nanny

K: Kids - Hopefully someday. But definitely not before I get married, and then about two years after that. I want four (two boys, two girls).

L: Live - No. I'm dead.

M: Moms name - Karen

N: Nicknames - gurly-gurl (dad), honey (mom), larva and big fat buffalo girl (brothers).

O: Overnight hospital stays - One, the night I was born.

P: Pet peeves - Body odor, not knowing what time it is, screaming-for-no-reason children, boys with over-sized pants (and egos to match), being sick, not having time for sewing, and lazy people.

Q: Quote from a movie - Prince Humperdinck: "Surrender." Westley: "You mean you wish to surrender to me? Very well, I accept." (the Princess Bride)

R: Righty or lefty - Righty. My left hand is basically useless.

S: Siblings - Four brothers and two sister-in-loves

T: Time you wake up - I try for 7:00. Achieving that can sometimes be a different story.

U: Underwear - Yes.     What the heck is that supposed to mean? "Underwear"? Really?

V: Vegetables you don't like - Green beans. Only the Grinch eats those. How did you think he got so stinkin' grumpy?

W: What makes you run late - Not managing time efficiently, staying up too late the night before, and/or losing my watch.

X: X-rays you've had - My teeth

Y: Yummy food you make - Mocha, StoveTop, and canned pineapple

Z: Zoo animal faves - Zebras, peacocks, and any big kitty. Snakes are cool too.

Welcome!!!

Hello and welcome to my blog!

I hope the lessons, stories, tricks, tips, and verses I share here with you will encourage and uplift you, and hopefully make you laugh! My goal in life is to have a radiant life, shining brightly onto other people lives, decreasing the darkness and gloom of this world, one bit, one life at a time. Each week I either find myself marveling, being inspired, mulling over, having random ideas and/or laughing at something or another. I hope that sharing them with you will make your life just a little bit more interesting and brighten your smile. My classes/groups that I am involved in include but are not excluded to: Nanny, full time student, full time sister and daughter, polymath (a person who has many hobbies, not a psychopath, but I am a slight pyromaniac), pianist, gardener/landscaper, and daughter of the most glorious king, Jesus Christ! And I don't like to be cold.

I'm off to go clean a wound caused by a seam ripper. I don't like them, they don't like me. I force them to cut through fabrics and threads whether they like it or not, so they stab me every once in a while to get back.
We're even now.
