Emma's Nightmare Named ---------- High School ----------: Lawnmower Injury

Lawnmower Injury

I have officially mowed a lawn on my own. I have also officially sprained my wrist because of it. :/

I suppose we don't actually know for sure if it is sprained, but we know it hurts very bad. The starter thing was pulled to hard and stretched my wrist a little longer than natural. So I had a hard time writing and typing and doing anything with my hands today.

In English, our honors class(which I am a part of) has decided to put on the whole production of A Midsummer Night's Dream. It will probably suck, as it's being put on my 8th graders. But hey, it'll at least be fun. I definitely want a good part, but I'm not sure I want the very main part. I'm thinking it will probably go to Chloee. She's just a better actor than I am. I can sing, sure. But I've never really acted other than my fourth grade play. And that doesn't count because we all sucked back then. Now Chloee has been to acting camps and stuff like that, so she actually has experience that I've never gotten the chance to have.

Leif wasn't at school today, so for me, my day was super boring. We have every class together except fourth, so I'm usually pretty entertained. I wonder where he was. We are pretty close friends... so I am surprised he didn't text me or anything about why he is gone. Hope he isn't sick or anything.

I had no voice lesson today. But I actually hit a High C very well in choir, so I feel accomplished in that area anyway.

My good friend Tia made a cake for her mother for mothers day and nobody ate it, so I walked to her house after school to humor her by having a piece, to make her feel better. Of course, she needed me to watch the Notebook with her because I'd never seen it. And I will say it loud and proud, I did not cry. I wasn't even close. It was a very good movie. But I didn't cry. Although I remembered at like.. five o'clock that I never told my mother that I was coming there. She wasn't very happy.

Alright, I'll do it! After much complaining from a close friend of mine about eating school lunch and unhealthy breakfasts, I'll wake up early and have a good breakfast and pack a lunch! It will help me win my diet challenge.

I also took my dad up on a month long biggest loser thing. I'll be going against him, Christine, and Miranda for most weight lost each week.

So I wrote a little romance story that was only like.. a chapter long, but I got a really, really, good review on it, so I am seriously happy. Happy, happy, happy.

I might have sprained my hand. I guess that is what I get for rough-housing with the boys. Emma! You act every day! Don't you remember the famous quote "All the world's a stage"? Wasn't that by Shakespeare? Muahahaha. You will do great :) How high is a high C? I hit an A above the staff, although not very well, because my whole body was shaking, cuz I was auditioning. Still writing stories? Do you remember mine? Muahahahahaha

Because Gracie deserves her own sidebar quotes.

-Gracie: Emma, you shouldn't wear high heels on the dock!

Me: Why not?
Gracie: You might trip and fall in and then Dad will get cramps!

-We were driving to the Figueroa's 4th of July picnic. My mother was drinking SmartWater. Gracie said out of nowhere, "Mom, you should drink smart water because it makes you smarter." My mother then replied, "Don't you think that maybe you should drink smart water because that means you were already smart?" Grace thought for a moment and replied, "That doesn't make any sense."

-Today in the car Gracie stated that she thought a bird pooped on the car. My mother said that the chances were very slim, and besides, how would she know if it did? Gracie said that she still thought a bird pooped on the car. My mom said, "I think you just want to say poop." Gracie retorted, "Nuh-uh! I just wanted you to say poop."

-I was teasing Grace when she wanted to go to McDonalds. I said that they didn't let anyone that wasn't at least 14 years old eat there anymore. She started crying. I think she is a little too attached.

-"Emma, Mom wants you to come scoop up the dog poop," she told me a few minutes ago, and before she closed the door she added, "This message will self destruct."

-After I scrubbed her toilet for her, my mother yelled in the other room, "What is that rotten egg poop smell!?" Gracie got very defensive and exclaimed, "It wasn't me this time!"

-After telling me how she told the bus driver to take her to Ecols Street and the bus driver stopped right in front of her house for her, I asked for reassurance, "Really?" She gave me a face. "What is that supposed to mean?" She put her hands on her hips and sighed as if to say 'duh'. "This face means it's true," she said while she made the same odd face. Then she made a mean face. "This face means it's not true." Then she proceeded to give off other mean faces and said that those meant it was true. She smiled and said, "Smiling means it's not true."

-Earlier I was mowing the lawn, and in an attempt to be like her older sister, Grace took Case's toy lawn mower and began going over what I'd already done. "Look, Mom! I'm lawn lowing!"

-After scaring her about a spider being on her leg when it really wasn't, she was complaining that I almost scared her half to 'deaf'. I'm not sure how you scare someone to deaf.

-After a summer bible school thing we were invited to, Grace climbed into the car we were riding home in. A girl that was her age sat in the back, and because of the girl sitting in a carseat similar to a baby's, she exclaimed, "It's a baby!" The girl was very upset afterward for being mistaken for a baby.

-When the newer King Kong movie came out, we bought it as soon as we could. While watching him getting put to sleep so they could lug him back, Gracie began balling. However, when he fell off the Empire State Building, she made no sign of emotion whatsoever.

-Years ago when I began to need pads and bras, Gracie would get very envious and complain, despite my protests, "I want those!" One time she actually attempted to steal my pads and use them. It didn't work out so well.

-At her baptism, Gracie had to be dunked more than once into the water because she kept tipping her foot out of the water. She complained that she 'wanted to be like a princess'.

-Gracie used to ask our mother, "Mom, when will I get to have a big butt like you?"

-When she decided that she didn't want bangs anymore, she had the brilliant idea to cut them off.

-My baby brother Case was running from us while my mother was off to get her keys. My little sister Grace asked me to hold her paper so she could get him. I told her, "No." Five minutes later when I was holding him in my arms and she was ahead of me, I asked her to hold my ice cream so I could get a better grip. She shrugged her shoulders and in a mocking voice answered, "No." Serves me right, I suppose.
