The Beginnings of Greatness?


*Sigh* Is it ALREADY 6:45am? I have to check that clock, it cant be... it seems like I just woke up... My Blackberry rings, the all to familiar tone of "Bitch, Stop Callin' Me" plays. You have got to be kidding me, its 6:45am, what could he possibly want? I act like i didnt hear it and slowly but surely build up my strength to sit up. I glance around my cluttered room *sigh* Why can't this place just clean itself? I decide I better get up and get the other two kids up so we can get out of here on time for once. I stumble down the hallway and make my way into Mom's room, turning on the light waking up McKenzie, I know it sucks having the light turned on, but now I realize why Mom always did it when i was McKenzie's age. I would have to get up eventually to turn it off. She moans and groans but eventually gets up and going. I make the kid cinnamon toast, she is addicted. Now that I have her going, time to wake up Austin, thats not always easy. Thankfully he was 'already awake' and i didnt have to fight about makin him get up. Whatever, not my problem. It's goin on 6:57, I better hurry up. I jump in the shower and I'm not sure, but it seems like time goes by so slow while in the shower. I just stand there, letting the water hit me, trying to think about whatever it was I needed to do. I thought your mind worked out your problems while you slept, right... I stand there long enough and decide I better hurry up, I get out, dry off, then brush my hair and teeth. I'm about to open the bathroom door when i hear the all to familiar screaming of McKenzie and Austin, apparently Austin wanted cinnamon toast too. McKenzie and Austin cannot stand to be in the same room, they clash constantly. Austin likes to egg her on and that does not help the situation. I tell them to separate. It's sad that I have to tell those two to get away from each other and go get ready for school. I make it to my room and decide to pick out clothing. I dig through piles of unfolded laundry until i find my favorite pair of jeans and my basketball homecoming t-shirt. I dress then fill my pockets with phone, keys, wallet I think as I put them in my pockets. I make my way into the kitchen to make me a bowl of cereal, but alas, no milk. Of course...house full of groceries and no milk, what a ripoff! I decide to forget it and holler for the troops to come on. They file in, Kenzie in front with Austin behind her. I have to examine them before school, because lets face it, neither is very dependable to take care of themselves. McKenzie is good, which is good because I don't want to have to help her brush her hair. Then I turn to Austin, his hair is a mess, his teeth are disgusting, and I'm pretty sure that he does not smell too great. Whatever, I dont care, It isn't me that will have to deal with him. Time to leave and head for school. We all pile into the Beagle (My Buick Regal) and start down the road. Half-way down Spanish Grant, Austin exclaims that he has left his keys, we turn around, get his keys, and head back towards school, again. Me and Austin argue about the choice of music, because he doesn't agree with any of my music. So, out of spite I turn it to a song he hates and turn it up to drown out his voice. We drop McKenzie off at school and head to school ourselves. We pull into the student parking lot and I hesitate to put the car in park. Here we are again....In Hell. Austin jumps out as soon as soon the car is in park, I dont know where he always disappears off too, but I guess he is out of my hair. I check my surroundings: Jess's Scion parked behind Addie's Escape, thats about normal for 7:25 am. I remember that Jess made the campaign posters for us so I text her to see where they are. After a brief discussion with Jessica, I go to her car and retrieve our posters so I can hang them up. I take a look at them, pretty good job Jessica did, I should give her more credit sometimes. I walk into the building trying not to make eye contact with any of the early morning stragglers because, to be honest, I am not a morning person. I enter Mrs. Douglas's room and notice that I'm the only student there, that's pretty cool. I chat with her for a minute about how the campaign is going then jack her tape to hang the posters in the hallway. I hang our posters amongst all the other junk that clutters our hallway. Funny thing about our hallway, well wait, there is nothing funny about the halways at EPHS. Black, Red, and White... How cute, the school colors. I pass Mr. Wilson's room while hanging posters inside the building and see Jess taking her test, I say hey, but i gotta keep goin. By the time i get the poster hung up, I have about 30 seconds to get my stuff gathered up before the morning bell rings. While the other 300 and some students file in to class, they all have the same bored look on their face. I just go onto Mrs. Hutcheson's class and take my usual seat beside Brittany and Hannah. First hour passed pretty normally, nothing exciting except Taylor Bennett and Hutch getting into it, utter greatness, Go Hutch! When the bell rings, I head to Mrs. White's. Instead of walking in to Mrs. White telling me good morning, I see Mrs. Bowlin (UGH) here instead. Great... My favorite person. I sit down in Re-Re's seat think maybe she wont be here today, I was right! To my left, my best friend, the always beautiful and exciting Gracie sits and chats with BW (The Braless Wonder, AKA Abby Jo). We exchange our good mornings and whatnot before the bell rings. Sadly, Bev left us a quiz today. How nice of her right? Yeah... anyway, i complete the quiz without much difficulty, except for the last three questions. Oh well. After the quiz we just sit and talk. The girls kinda sat and read Hick Finn and talked, but I wasn't really interested, so I turned around to join in on Dustin, Cody, and Micheal's coversation, which also isn't very interesting, but atleast it's funny. I sit quietly and make comments when their needed, but today I just felt like being quiet, must've been tired. The bell rings again and I head for Hutch again. In CP nothing happened at all, nothing, but that usually how CP goes, all work and no play. Chem wasnt that bad either, we had our chapter test, thanks again Bev, but it was open book. Spanish is when my day startes to get a little more fun. It is my most boring class, but atleast I can talk during Spanish. Mrs. Mickle is in a good mood, which is awesome because that means I can make comments and joke around with Grace all hour, and occassionally make fun of Iris when she decides to talk. After Spanish, me and Grace sell yearbooks at lunch. It was pretty fun, but we kinda ran out of things to talk about which is not cool. Sometimes i think me and her have already pretty much talked about everything there is to talk about, but then, something always comes up, fortunately. World History was quite eventful, we had a sub, but I have no idea who she was, but I did not like her. She was one of those who tries to make a name for herself by being mean for no reason. Well, she really shouldn't have started cuz Momma (Brittany Helms) was not in the mood today and just gave that lady a piece of her mind, recieving 2 days of ISS in the process, Kudos to Brittany. I text Alli for the remainder of the hour and got caught up on her life, we have both been busy lately and havent gotten to talk much. After WH, I make my way to 7th hour, Publications, my haven. My favorite hour. I didn't really do anything but sit in the corner and talk to Gracie while editing pages and then went and talked to Blaire and Mrs. Douglas about some yearbook mess. Yearbook is pretty much great, 90% of the time. We sang happy birthday to Courtney today, well I did, everyone else just sat there. Lazy..... When the final bell rang, I walked with Grace to Hannah's car, before going to my own. I got in my car and headed to work and went in. Boss man says there's nothing for me to really do, so check in tomorrow, I said okay and go out to the shop to talk to Billy before I go home. Nothing new going on around there, as usual. So I make a loop and head home. I feed the cat, do my daily chores and wait for the other two to get off of the school bus. Once they are off I send them off to do their school work and eat a snack. Austin finished and went to his room, he likes to be left alone. But Kenzie is always wanting to do something, but then again, what 8 year old girl isnt... So we go fly kites, it was a good day for it too. We flew for about an hour and came inside, I checked my email and watched TV. I sent Grace a text askin her if she wanted to fly kites after practice. Mom called and told me to come with her to the grocery store. and I wasn't going to say no because she has been in a terrible mood every since she started this new job. Its prolly because she doesnt sleep. But while at the store, Grace calls and says that her mom says she has to go home so no kites today. Darn parents can be so unreasonable sometimes. I came home, put up groceries, made me a frozen pizza, ate, and watched some TV. I got bored and then decided to do this blog. My life has been pretty boring up to this point but, but hopefully excitement is just around the corner!
