Blah. I don't wanna go to school tomorrow....

Alright, so, last week, Friday night, I went downstairs to be with my mom & dad during dialyses. It took them a really long time to start it, a lot longer than usual. This is NEVER good. She couldn't insert the needle in the right place, and the blood was really dark and stuff...so it just wasn't working. She called the hospital. They didn't really tell her anything except for to get a good night's sleep, don't eat or drink anything, and they'll call her in the morning. Alright, so, hopefully it'll all be good, right?

Wrong.

I woke up the next morning--Valentine's Day, or Single's Awareness Day, whatever it is to you---to my mom rubbing my back. I turned over and looked at her with a "wth...it's saturday morning...it's like 6:30...what chu doin', man?" She told me that she had to go to the hospital and get emergency surgury...My dad was still getting ready to go, so my brother and I stayed up with her, to make sure she was alright and stuff. Right before they left, my parents gave us our valentines day gifts...I didn't know they were gonna do that! They handed me a card with a little bag of candy on it (which my mom ended up eating almost half of it xP). I opened it up, and it said some mushy-mushy stuff and what not. It had $10 in it, too, and a little note that said, "Thanks for being such a great help. You're such a great daughter...Here's $10 for Barnes & Nobel." I gave them a hug...and I kinda felt bad, 'cause I really haven't been doing much...I've been doing my chores and Alan's (and I'm tryin' tot keep my grades up o.o). But, that's really it. Sometimes I make dinner (as in, put somethin in the oven...a half hour late 'cause I forgot...lol). It's not much, but they make a big deal out of it ;-;. I gave them a hug and stuff and thanked them...

I have awesome parents.

When they left, my brother left and said he was gonna go pick up dounuts, and Erica and I should go play Halo. So, we did. Alan took almost an hour to go get dounuts...UM, DUNKIN' DOUNUTS IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER, MAN! He came back w/ flowers and stuff for Erica . It was cute. I made sure to leave 'em alone and stuff for a while since it was valentines day.

Around 4:30, my parents came home from the hospital . We spent the rest of the day just chillin' around the house and spending time together. It was nice, except I felt really bad for my mom, cause she like...can't move. She had to have surgury on a really sensitive place, and if she like...lets her arm hang down, her staples would rip out and...yeah. Also, any movement would really hurt her, so we had to be really careful.

The only bad part of that day, was Daniel didn't come online...so I didn't get to ask him to be my valentine ;-;. That depressed me a bit, but I was just happy that Mom was okay

Sunday, however, he DID come online !! One of the best parts of my Winter Break was talking to him...

I asked him, and he said yes to being my valentine--after laughing x3! But, he has no idea how happy that made me...Nobody knows how much that actually meant to me.

That night, my dad asked me to sleep in the basement with my mom (cause she couldn't sleep in her bed, she had to keep her arm up) in case she needs something.

So, this was pretty much my winter break. In the basement watching my mom throwing up...having to wash out the bowls and stuff that she threw up in x.x not the best. I DID GET TO GO WITH MY DAD, THOUGH, TO GO GET HIS NEW CAR!!! I might buy it off of him when I'm older It's a niiiice car!

Okay, so, the best part of my weekend...Winter Fest. (For those who don't know, Winter Fest is a yearly thing for my family on my mom's side. We go up north and stay at my aunt + uncle's house for the weekend. We do winterly things while we're up there and have a ton of fun)

We left at about...2 or so. We arrived at about 6.

When we got there, I was taught how to shoot a few shotguns, I got to see a bunch of handguns and hunting guns...And I was taught a few lessons on how to kill somebody in self defense

From that night, I knew this weekend was going to be awesome

So, on Saturday, we woke up, ate breakfast, and we were out the door sledding down their hill that they live on! IT WAS AWESOME! One of my cousins that were there had a black lab dog...cutest thing ever . I was petting him, and he just plopped dwn ight beside me and laid his head on my lap...it was soooo cute . I played more with the dog than sleded down the hill xP

When we were done sledding, we went inside and warmed up and stuff...just hung out . Later, Melissa--my cousin thats like the girl version of my brother, almost--invited me to go outside with her and her boyfriend to go make a fort >D. That actually made me feel kinda special . Cause, she's like 6 and a half years older than me, my brother's 6 years older than me, and my other cousin'slike 10 years older than me. They all kinda hang out, and I kinda feel like I'm getting in the way, ya know? So, I was happy when she was like "SARAH, LETS GO BUILD A FORT!!" It was awesome

When we came back inside, I showed my cousin's husband how to solve a Rubik's Cube, and my Fruts Basket Twilight Trailer (brought my iPod!). I showed that to Melissa and my Aunt Keri, too. They thought it was really cool ^___^.

Later that day, we went tubing...Ahhh mannn that was AWESOME. There was this dude that would WHIP you down the hill in a tube...and you'd get spun for like..the length of a football field and a half! But, only four people at a time....so we were kinda... DDD:!!

It was funny, though, 'cause on our last time down, my Uncle Tom was like "We should all go down together..that'd be awesome..." my brother was like "But he said only four at a time!" Uncle Tom looked at him with a dur-dah-dur look and said "What're they gonna do? Kick us out? It's our last time, anyway!!" It was funny.

So, when we were all lined up to go down, Uncle Tom goes up to the guy and said, "We're all going down. All 8 people." Not, "Can we have 8 people going down?" Nooo he was demanding xDD The dude was just like "O-okay..." and whipped us down x33

It was a ton of fun, but it kinda hurt when you got whipped...cause your arm would get bent the wrong way and you HAD to hang on to the other people and stuff. So, that kinda hurt o.o

When we got back...I don't know what happened, but I felt really sick. Maybe it was the going from hot to cold to hot again...but I felt really sick and I was really sore...So, I pretty much got back to he place and went to bed xP

Next morning--this morning--We got up...packed the car..and we were on our way home again...After about five minutes of driving, we got suck. My dad, my brother, me, Melissa's boyfriend, my Uncle Jeff, and my Uncle Tom all had to help us get up a hill o__o (while we were there, it snowed at least a foot...) We were pushing and shoving the car for about 45 minutes or so. That was tiring.

Later...we went to a resturaunt. My dad and I didn'tknow what to really get..so we decided to share a pizza . It. Was. Amazing.

Only problem was...it made both of us sick on the way home xP We had huuge stomacheaches on the long car ride home...not fun Oh well, we lived

Man, I'm still pretty sore from yesterday, though...gosh I dunno how I'm going to carry all of my crap to school tomorrow x.x. I gotta carry my clarinet, my huge math book my huge s.s book, three huge binders, maybe a book for me to read, pencil case, agenda and stuff to my first three classes....that's gonna hurt o__o (since I can barely move my arms...let alone CARRY ALL OF THAT!!)

So, I'm gonna go to bed now Hope ya'll had a nice weekend ^^
