HaPpY mOtHeR's DaY: The Mom Song

OKay so mother's day was on Sunday. The 10th of May. I don't know about you but i didn't do the whole breakfast in bed thing. (speaking of that. Why do people like getting breakfast in bed. I mean what if you have to move, i know that your have a tray and everything but what if your leg has a spasm and you get juice and waffles all over your bed. I wouldn't want that but that's my opinion) I gave her what she really wanted. A Clean House. I also showed her this cool video
and she said she did all of this and much more. Of course she does. So in honor of all the mother's out there, this video is for you and all the hard work you do. Good/Great Job! We love you!

Okay i got this from my friend. I find it to be well. . .awsome. You decide.

This is absolutely incredible. Wish it was a longer video, though.

Turn your sound on for this. Read this first, then watch.

This is almost unbelievable. See how all of the balls wind up in catcher cones.. This incredible machine was built as a collaborative effort between the Robert M. Trammell Music Conservatory and the Sharon Wick School of Engineering at the University of Iowa .

Amazingly, 97% of the machine's components came from John Deere Industries and Irrigation Equipment of Bancroft , Iowa ....Yes, farm equipment! It took the team a combined 13,029 hours of set-up, alignment, calibration, and tuning before filming this video but as you can see it was WELL worth the effort.

It is now on display in the Matthew Gerhard Alumni Hall at the University and is already slated to be donated to the Smithsonian/

This is way cool so tell me what you think.

Memories

Okay i was listening to this song by Within Temptation called "Memories" and it got me thinking. The song, to me, was very ironic. It reminded me of last summer when i met this guy. (Of course, it starts with a guy. It always starts with a guy. What's wrong with people?" Well he's not with me any more. (I'm not sure we officially broke up) Anyway the date when we met is coming up and i can't stop thinking about him. I know he's just some guy and i should get over him but i can't. Believe me I've tried. I've even tried liking someone else. (Which, by the way, i sort of really like him. I don't know why. He's just some random guy and i didn't even know his name until today. It's Hayden!) Anyway, I've made this 'new years resolution thingy' where i told myself i can't cry. I've been doing a good job and i actually feel tougher and stronger but now I'm starting to think about him and then i cry myself to sleep. I miss him alot and i wish he would come back. I didn't even get to see what he looked like. I'll explain it later. . .if i feel like it:) Oh, before i forget, I've got a way to try to keep my mind off him. Instead of daydreaming about him, i thought of a new story idea. So now i daydream ideas for my story. I've written a page or two but it's not ready yet. The characters are unstable and the plot is everywhere, so i have some tweaking to do.

Is there something behind my tears or is it just teen angst?

I'm struggling. . .big time. School is terrible, wanna know why? Because okay i got sick and i wasn't feeling good. So i missed a day or two of school and in those short days, my teachers decide it would be hilarious to see me tortured. I had a computer test which was fairly easy. (Not saying i passed) But then i had a math test. It was only mid chapter but i totally bombed it. I didn't know the formulas but everyone else did. Because when i was gone they got a yellow paper telling them the formulas and other junk. The day we took the test i told my teacher i didn't have a yellow paper and he said "Oh, what are you going to do?" Hello, i don't know what I'm going to do. Then he walked away. (Don't worry i got a paper) But i just thought that was so mean. I mean he had this sort of sarcasm he uses and i tried not to take it personally but i did, sort of. I wanted to cry, right there in the classroom. How childish of me. Then i had a vocab quiz in science and i didn't know the words because i was gone. (Hello people! I had pneumonia. Cut me some slack) I didn't study because i didn't finish my fold able and I'm pretty sure i didn't do so well. But if school wasn't enough to make my life a living hell, my family was. I had to do research for my brother. He was doing a report on his video game, weird. So i spent my time on the computer, getting pictures and information. But i didn't get a pat on the back or a -way-to go. But i never got that before, anyway. But as i tried to read my brother kept bothering me to play a game with him. So i had to. I wasn't happy. Then my mom was making remarks like "don't promise something you can't keep" I wanted to roll my eyes. Then i told her something me and my friend were talking about and she acted all mean to me. I tried not to be bothered. But then my sister asked me to curl her hair in the morning and i just wanted to go to bed. It was while i was in bed when the water works came out. I don't know why but I just cried. I hate it when i cry because i feel weak. But then i started thinking. Was i crying because today wasn't the best day of my life or was i crying because of something else. Or someone else. Tell you more later.

04-05-06-07-08-09

Okay, i know this is my second post in a day but deal. I got an email from my dad and it was kind of cool. Okay, i thought it was cool so don't judge. Are you aware that on July eighth of this year. Exactly five, minutes six seconds after four. The time and date will be 04:05:06 07/08/09. Isn't that cool. I was like whoa, that's so cool. Literally those were my exact words. I wonder who caught that? I mean most people don't go around looking for this kind of stuff, or do they? Oh and did I mention this will NEVER happen again. It's a ONCE in a lifetime chance. Well our lifetime because people before us and after us will never have the chance to say. . .

"Hey it's, 4-5-6-7-8-o9" I mean who wouldn't want to say that? It's pretty cool, right?

Spring break. . .and i'm sick!

Okay, so my spring has just come to an end. (Sad) Today was my first day back at school. (UGH!) And to make it even worse I'm sick. I was sluggish and everyone kept telling me i looked tired. Well duh! If i looked tired, I'm pretty sure i feel tired. Anyway I had a hard time keeping my head up off my desk and out of the sink. (I have a cooking class) And to top it all off, I have this nasty cough. It's like a horn and like a choking walrus. I went to the doctor yesterday but not because of my cough but because my brother threw-up. Okay, he's seven and he's cute so how can you not care about him but i swear whenever he says he's not feeling good, here comes mom with a free ticket out of school and luxury. Hello i need help too! Anyway, I went in and i was going to have to show them how i coughed. Not too hard, right? Wrong. When i got in there my cough 'magically' disappeared. I had to work up my lungs and push the cough out. So the doctor lady told me i have this cough (duh!) that infants/babies get. I was like what the heck. My mom said i had it once when i was a baby (shocker) and it freaked everyone out. Just imagine it, a little tiny baby coughing this deep nasty cough, yeah it's weird. So they injected steroids into me, i don't know why but i think it opened up my throat so i could breath. But i just think it's unfair. Everyone treats me like a kid, everyone says i look like a kid, now i have a freaking baby cough. Once again, UGH! But, like i said before, it's a nasty cough. It's not a dainty cute cough but full on choke on my lungs cough. I hate my cough! It's loud, embarrassing, stupid and it wakes me up in the middle of the night. I wake up and cough then i cough again and again. So that's probably why I'm tired. UGH!! Again!!
