I Like Where We Are

"Our lives are not determined by what happens to us but by how we react to what happens, not by what life brings to us, but by the attitude we bring to life. A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events, and outcomes. It is a catalyst, a spark that creates extraordinary results." - anon

Day three of the bounce house washing business. Like the past couple of days, today was simply fun and quite laughable! I think my sister decided that spraying-Whitney-in-the-face-while-she-was-trying-to-talk-every-chance-she-got was a grand and hilarious idea. How can I protest to that? It was funny! In fact, she thought spraying me whenever I walked by was a hoot. Perhaps I should consider stealing the hose from her next time, neh?

Instead of accidental slips-and-falls (some were accidental), we decided to slip around on purpose. Once you get the insides of those bounce houses wet and spread some soap suds around...it gets very, very slippery! But, if I must say so myself, it is tremendous fun despite how stupid we look flopping around helplessly on our asses.

Having all of that to do during the day, I've fallen behind drastically on my homework. I usually like to commit a couple of hours to get the work done faster, but this week has just been rather busy. Seeing that we're only washing bounce houses every other week, though, I'll be able to complete my homework early and practice drumming a bit longer this next week.

I like being able to help out my uncle. He is such a hard worker and deserves a fine, long vacation. And I can't help but love the guy to death! Helping him out with his small business has actually let me get to see him more and get to know him better, just as going to the charter school has allowed me to get to know my grandma a lot better, too.

Not only do I feel accomplished after all that work, I also feel happy and stronger. I must say, I am very thankful for the wonderful family I have been gifted with. My social life outside of the family isn't/hasn't been the greatest, but I'm continuing to hold my chin high. I'll be starting junior college a year early, so I'm sure I'll get to meet new people there! I can't but I can wait.

Hah! Now I'm just ranting nonstop, eh? I guess these dancing fingers of mine are really helping my mind filter itself onto this virtual page.

I like that.
