Happy 4th of July

Taylor is being shy- I asked her to type some words and she doesn't want to. She did however type the title. We are just being lazy after watching the parade honoring 4th of July and Brooking's 125th Anniversary. It was alright, a little boring but Taylor had fun and received a lot of candy and political stickers. I came up yesterday and went swimming with Taylor - it was really fun and not crowded. She is really good at jumping off the low dive. She is now helping me write this glowing description of her swimming skills. We had a slight delay to our swimming day because of lightining so we had to wait an hour. After we were done at the pool- much to early for Taylor's wants- we walked over to McDonald's and had a meal with a fudge sundae for dessert.

For other news not pertaining to my niece- I went to Spiderman 2 and Dodgeball at the drive-in theater with my brother. He came up on Friday night and then we went to the movies and it lasted until 2 AM! I didn't feel to strange about going to a drive-in movie with my brother until the people in the car next to us told us not to have any children- because their children were being unruly. So then I felt 'ewww' for a little bit.

Last week I went to Mean Girls on Sunday night after I got back from Rebekah's shower. I decided to call my friend (???) Vickie that night and was talked to briefly with the promise that she would call back- and since I knew she wouldn't I decided to get out of the house rather than look at the phone. And sure enough she hadn't called and that was at 7:30 on Sunday- and I have received to phone call back- not even an attempted phone call because my phone has been on the whole week- (yikes)

Had a little summer supper and it was delicious. Did some fireworks and almost set the little one Samantha on fire- alright not even close but it was a little iffy. We are going to go and watch the fireworks and then I am going to leave to head home. I was so bummed because when I got here last night I was told that the computer was not working and after trying many times to find out the problem I gave up. Well, I came down this afternoon for one last useless attempt to make it run and I plugged it in and it worked- I feel like a miracle worker.

I also rented the last two Lord of the Rings and I have watched the second one so far- I just need to finish it. I watched the first one with my brother and we both dumped on it so bad that I was hesitant to rent them but I actually enjoyed the second one- and hopefully the end will be great.

Work is good- I get a little sick of the kids every once and a while so that the only thing keeping me calm is the knowledge that I don't have to go home to any children. For the most part it is the parents that make my job shitty- parents are stupid- no nice way to say it- the things they let their children do and how they teach them to act is sickening.

I am coming up next weekend for the Arts Festival I think- probably only on the day that my niece performs her gymnastics routine.
