Month: September 2021

Hi!  It’s me!  Lily!

OH MY GOD can Sabby keep a secret!  Yesterday, after we got off school, someone arrived at the house!  Apparently, one of her friends from church has a sick family member and they needed to find someone to watch their kid, so Sabby offered to take her for a weekend.  Her name is Allison!  She is around 7 or 8, has brown hair, and is a lil shorty!

I don’t think David knows quite what to do with her. I’m not sure if he has a crush or hates her.  But he’s David, so all bets are off!

After she arrived, Sabby told us to pack for a trip!  We packed up, made sure the cat had plenty of food and water, and then hopped in the car, and drove to Houston!  We got two rooms at a reasonably nice hotel, one for the kids and one for the adults.  Me, being the oldest, was put in charge of the kids.  There was a bit of grumbling but they know I’m fair, so they accepted their lot in life without too much complaining.  Allison went straight for the pool!  I’ve never seen a girl move so fast!  I had to put my swimsuit on really fast and follow her, she can’t swim without supervision.  But she’s pretty good at it!  I just kind of lounged around in the pool and let her have fun.  David and Beth joined us shortly after, and there was much squealing and splashing to be had.  David wanted to play his computer games but Dave and Sabby made him leave his consoles at home.  Poor kid.  Not.  He’ll make do.

After that, we went to dinner.  We ate at a nice but not too fancy place, and everyone had something they enjoyed.  I had lasagna.  I love lasagna!  But it’s time consuming to make, so Sabby doesn’t make it often.  I got to know Allison a little bit.  Apparently she likes to play in mud!  I need to be careful around that one, that’s not far away from throwing mud.  Oh well, better not give her ideas.  She also likes to read graphic novels.  I told her about manga.  There’s so much manga!!!

We got a cot for the room so Allison could have her own bed, we thought having her sleep in the same bed as David would be a terrible idea, the kid is a hellian.  The cots are super comfy though!  Beth and I shared a bed, David got his own, and Allison got her cot.  Everyone was pretty happy with the arrangement, though I woke up in the middle of the night and found Beth sprawled all over me, out like a light.  It was cute, but I hadda go to the bathroom!!!

So this morning, we ate breakfast, and we’re about to head to the Space Museum!  Oh, that sounds like so much fun!  I hope everyone likes it!  That’s one small step for a girl, one giant leap for girlkind!  I’m glad I got to meet Allison, she seems like a sweet kid!

I’ll tell you how it all goes after we get back.  Love you all!!!  ❤️

Hi!  It’s me again!  Lily!

I’m such a Lily that I’m a Lily!  That makes no sense!  Oh well.  I don’t have to make sense!  I’m a girl!!!

But boys don’t make sense either.  All that fighting and stuff.  But they don’t make sense in a different way!

Some stuff arrived today from that company that ships lots of stuff and is named after a river!  Textbooks!  Japanese textbooks!  Math textbooks!  Science textbooks!  I’m swimming in textbooks!  Sooooo many textbooks!  And some of them are heavy too!

I leafed through the Japanese one.  I can’t believe I’ll learn all of that!  It’s a hard language!  It’s funny to find Japanese things and use the google translator camera function.  You know that in Japanese the negation is at the end, right?  So if you aim the camera wrong it says the exact opposite of what the sentence says.  In English it’d be like “I’m going to the store!  Not!”

Oh well.  Japanese gonna Japan.

That made no sense.  But I said I didn’t have to make sense!  I’m a girl!

Sabby seems a bit happier lately.  I dunno why.  Maybe she’s just had some time to think it over.  She and Dave were making eyes at each other this morning, so maybe that has something…  err…. no.  Just no.  LALALALALALALA

Not thinking about that!

LALALALALAA!!!!!!!  Sunshine!  Moonbeams!  Rainbows!  Hamburgers! Skittles!  Cats that don’t wash their butts! LALALALALAA!!!!!!!!!  I can’t unsee it in my mind!!!!! hahaha! Oh well.  I guess Sabbies gonna.. er… Sabb?

Am I in a good mood?  I dunno!  I’m not making sense!  Maybe I am!  Maybe I’m just having a girly time!  You’ll never know!  MUAHAHAHAHAAHAHAA hey where’s the cat, I need to pet it and make evil noises, MUAHAHAHAHAHAA

Sabby still hasn’t spilled the beans.  She’s annoyingly good at keeping a secret.  I’m good at keeping a secret too, but not like her.  She’s on another level!

Oh well.  It’s late.  Time for bed.  Goodnight! Oh did I ever tell you about my pajamas?  They’re the most comfiest pajamas with little hearts and unicorns and rainbows and cats farting rainbows!!!  Or not.  You’ll never know.  Why do you want to know about my pajamas anyway?  Oh, you didn’t?  I brought it up?  Haha!  My bad!

Love you all!!!!! ❤️

Hi!  It’s me!  Lily!

It’s September!  Can you believe it?  September!  It seems like just yesterday it was August!  hahaha!  It was!

Sabby told me what “hump day” means!  Like the week is a speed bump, and Wednesday is the top of the speed bump, and then you go down from there.  Or a roller coaster!  I love roller coasters!  You get over the hump and then speed down!!!  That’s Wednesday!  When you climb the coaster and pause and down you go!

Sabby hates roller coasters.  I don’t know why!  What’s not to like?!

Or I think I like roller coasters.  I’ve never been on one.  But I think I like them.  Why do I think I like them?

Today was another boring day, but Sabby told us that we’re going somewhere special this weekend!  But she wouldn’t tell us where.  The waterpark?  But we go there all the time.  I don’t know.  I guess it’ll have to be a surprise.  Sabby’s scarily good at keeping a secret.  Even all my cute begging wouldn’t get her to crack.  Though she did smirk at me and say “nice try”.  And I threw everything at her too.  Batted my eyelashes and everything.  I guess that only works on guys.  Hey, maybe Dave would be an easier mark!

No, I’d better not.  Using my feminine wiles on Dave is a baaaaaaaaaad idea, no matter how innocently devilish I’m being.

And don’t you girls out there get any ideas!!!!  Batting your eyelashes to get what you want.  How rude!!!

And you’ll probably do it anyway, right?

Yeeeah, you’re a buncha silly billies.  I know you!  Silly billies!  All of you!!!  Willy Nilly Silly Billies!

I’m in a good mood today and I’m not really sure why.  I just am.  Why not be in a good mood?  It’s better than being in a bad mood!  I’m dancing in my chair!  Dance with me!  Wiggle to the left… wiggle to the right… wiggle to the right… gotcha!!! You wiggled to the left!!!  You’re awful at dancing!!!

I guess I need to do homework.  September is homework month!  And so are all the other months too!  Awwww!

Love you all!!!  ❤️
