G'day

June 21

Today I finished off the rest of my work, so hopefully I'm off tomorrow after I've written my report for this term. Last night I noticed that Gloria, Richies occasional girlfriend in the 2nd season is Linda Purl. Lind Purl also plays Ashlee Phister, Fonzi's steady in the 11th season. Here's a place where you can make some really cool word clouds, <

June 20

Sorry about all the strange dates, I am currently very confused on what date it is.

Today I taught Dude, because the others were busy. It was alright until he had the sugar rush called morning tea, after that it wasn't easy.

At the moment I am listening to my favourite song by Mark Shultz, Letters from War. Mark Shultz songs are really sad.

Here are the lyrics,


She walked to the mailbox
On that bright summers day
Found a letter from her son
In a war, far away

He spoke of the weather
And good friends that he'd made
Said, " I'd been thinking 'bout dad
And the life that he had that's why, I'm here today"
And then in the end he said, "You are what I'm fighting for"
It was the first of his letters from war

She started writing
You're good and you're brave
What a father that you'll be someday
Make it home, make it safe
She wrote every night as she prayed

Late in December
A day, she'll not forget
Oh, her tears stained the paper
With every word that she read

It said, "I was up on a hill, I was out there alone
When the shots all rang out and bombs were exploding
That's when I saw him, he came back for me
[From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/m/mark-schultz-lyrics/letters-from-war-lyrics.html]
And though he was captured a man set me free
And that man was your son, he asked me to write to you
I told him, I would, Oh, I swore"
It was the last of the letters from war

And she prayed, he was living, kept on believing
And wrote every night just to say
You are good and you're brave
What a father that you'll be someday
Make it home, make it safe
Still she kept writing each day

Then two years later
Autumn leaves, all around
A car pulled in the driveway
And she fell to the ground
And out stepped a captain
Where her boy used to stand

He said, "Mom, I'm followin' orders
From all of your letters and I've come home again"
He ran into hold her, dropped all his bags on the floor
Holdin' all of her letters from war

Bring him home
Bring him home
Bring him home

June 18

Today I got a sleep in. It was well deserved after our running around alot Friday-Monday.
Other then my fabulous sleep in, there were other effects, like now I am totally out of date in my diary.

Today we did our usual volenteering, and tonight we are going to Square dancing again, after our break due to, other bookings in the hall.

Thats all I have to say so, night.

June 17-18

Yesterday Charlie, Mac Man, and I went to the city with our youth group. We did a lot of walking, but it was fun.

Today we had the normal morning of madness, except it was a bit harder. Because we got the car serviced while we were down there, so we were walking everywhere.

Dude finally got his drum lesson, I think he really enjoyed it, I am now on level 2 in my keyboard lessons.

I am now watching Happy Days, it is awesome, Fonzi is the best.

June 15

Today was alright, but tonight will be fun, as usual. Tonight at Kids Club I am going to be at the front table, welcoming people. I am also doing a bible verse game.

I am so excited, for the first time, in a long time Mac Man is coming with us to Kids club. He normally goes to a technology course during the day, then he arrives at the church in time for Youth Group.

I don't have much else to say so bye.

P.s. I will eventually show you what I made for Charlie's birthday; I just need to get around to it.

SOSE

Today I was doing a SOSE activity with Dude. For the SOSE activity we had to make an advertisement so we found a really cool website called sketch star in Miniclip. If you look for animatios made by Gellymarshmallo on Miniclip, you should be able to find it.

It is called Baa Baa black sheep (white sheep).

Check it out, you can even make your own.

June 14

Today I listened to a really cool song by Casting Crowns. It's really good, but it's also sad. I like songs that tell a story, and this is one of them:

Casting Crowns, American Dream
All work no play may have made Jack a dull boy
But all work no God has left Jack with a lost soul
But he's moving on full steam
He's chasing the American dream
And he's gonna give his family the finer things

Not this time son I've no time to waste
Maybe tomorrow we'll have time to play
And then he slips into his new BMW
And drives farther and farther and farther away

So He works all day and tries to sleep at night
He says things will get better;
Better in time

And he works and he builds with his own two hands
And he pours all he has in a castle made with sand
But the wind and the rain are comin' crashing in
Time will tell just how long his kingdom stands
His kingdom stands

His American Dream is beginning to seem
More and more like a nightmare
With every passing day
"Daddy, can you come to my game?"
"Oh Baby, please don't work late."
Another wasted weekend
And they are slipping away

'Cause he works all day and lies awake at night
He tells them things will get better
It'll just take a little more time

He used to say, "Whoever dies with the most toys wins"
But if he loses his soul, what has he gained in the end
I'll take a shack on the rock
Over a castle in the sand
Now he works all day and cries alone at night
It's not getting any better
Looks like he's running out of time
'Cause he worked and he built with his own two hands
And he poured all he had in a castle made with sand
But the wind and the rain are coming crashing in
Time will tell just how long his kingdom stands
His kingdom stands

All they really wanted was You
All they really wanted was You
All they really wanted was You

Here's the song,

The rainbow story

Once upon a time all the colours in the rainbow started to quarrel: each claimed to be the best, the favourite, the most important and useful.

Red said: "Clearly I am the most important: I am the colour of blood, fire, danger, and of bravery. I am willing to fight for a cause. Without me the earth would be empty. I am the colour of passion and love."

Orange was next to blow her own trumpet: "I am the colour of health and strength. I may be scarce, but I am precious for I serve the inner needs of human life. I carry all the important vitamins. Think of carrots, oranges, mangoes and paw paws. I don't hang around all the time, but when I fill the sky at sunrise or sunset, my beauty is so striking that no one gives another thought to any of you."

Yellow laughed: "You are all so serious. I bring laughter, gaiety and warmth into the world. The sun is yellow, the moon is yellow and so are the stars. Every time you look at a sunflower the whole world starts to smile. Without me there would be no fun in life."

Green could stand it no longer. She shouted out: "I am the sign of life and hope. I was chosen for grass, trees, and leaves - without me all the animals would die. Look out over the countryside and you will see that I am the majority."

Blue interupted: "You only think about the earth, but consider the sky and sea. It is water that is the basis of life and the clouds draw this up from the blue sea. The sky gives space and peace and serenity. Without my peace you would all be nothing but busy bodies."

Indigo spoke much more quietly than all the others, but just as determinedly: "Think of me. I am the colour of reflection. You hardly notice me, but without me, you will all become superficial. I represent thought and reflection, listening, awareness and deep concentration. You need me for balance and contrast, for prayer and inner peace."

Violet rose up to his full height. He wass very tall and spoke with great dignity qand pride: "I am the colour of royalty, leadership and power, I am the colour that kings, queens, chiefs and bishops wear. I am a sign of authority and wisdom. People do not question me - they listen and obey."

And so the colours went on boasting, each convinced that they were the best.their quarreling became louder and louder. Suddenly there was a flash of brilliant white lightening; thunder roared and boomed. Rain started to pour down relentlessly. The colours all crouched down in fear, drawing close to one another for comfort.


Then the rain spoke: " you foolish colours, fighting among yourselves, each trying to dominate the rest. Do you not know that God made you all, each for a special purpose? You are all unique and different. He loves you all. He wants you all. He will stretch you across the sky in a great bow of colour as a reminder that you can live together in peace as brothers and sisters.

June 9 - 12

Sorry I haven't been blogging recently. Over the weekend we were at our dad's and then Charlie had a sleepover party, so I have been busy.

Saturday: we went down to the caravan and camping show. For lunch we went to Yum Cha atSouth Bank. It was good! I loved the custard egg tart.

Sunday: I painted Charlie and my nails in a colour called confetti. Then Charlie and I got dropped off at Gumdrop's so we could get ready for Charlie's birthday sleepover party.

Only three people out of six came to the party and one had to leave at 10:00.

The party was lots of fun. We watched Megamind, but we paused in the middle to have pizza.

Then we played the all favourite chocolate game. Firstly we did doubles, but no body was rolling doubles much so Charlie had the idea to change it to odd numbers when you add the two numbers together. But I was eating the chocolate when she suggested her idea, and she was just about to have her turn. Then she rolled odd, and there was a whole round of rolling doubles, so we shouldn't have changed it.

The thing which you needed to put on before you go in the middle is a bracelet of green glow in the dark connector things. One of the guests really liked them and she kept making things. She even made a really cool crown

Then we watched Flight of the navigator, a movie made in 1986. Afterwards we played Singstar, it was lots of fun, but we weren't the best singers.

After Singstar one of the guests left. Then we continued along with the evening by watching A walk to remember, it is a beautiful movie staring Mandy Moore.

After the movie finished we got ready for bed then I went to my room and left the older girls to their private party.

Monday we had cereal and showed off the Guinea pigs, and we started a game of life but we couldn't finish before their parents came.

June 8

Today we were really busy because our teacher came for a visit to look at our work. I think I'm doing well. I still felt like I was just showing her stuff left right and centre. When that happens I feel like a show off.

Do you know that feeling were you are hogging the teacher and showing all this stuff, then when the teacher gets to the other stuff they only have a quarter of the stuff.

At the end of term 4 last year I showed off for 1.5 hours. I took so long that she had to come back the next day to asses the others.

Tonight I am cooking chicken breast for dinner I can use whatever ingredients I like, any suggestions.

June 7

Today we went to the school of dentistry in the city and I to new braces, the new colours are lavender and light green. They are great.

But we missed Happy Days.

June 6

Today was ordinary.

That's pretty much it.

So as the famous Looney Tunes goodbyes go,

That's all Folks

June 5

Today was Charlie's birthday. I woke up at 4:30am so that I could finish my project in time for Charlie's birthday. Tomorrow I will show what I made.

As is tradition we do what ever the birthday person wants on their birthday. Charlie decided she wanted to go to op shops, then go to a library, that is in a different location from where it was when we last saw it. At the op shops I spent $41 on clothes, but it's all fine because, I love clothes. They say so much, and you can pick and choose as you like. We went to 3 different op shops today, it was awesome.

Then we went to the library, it's in The Hub. It was huge.

Throughout the whole day, we saw 6 people we know/ knew, and 5 of those people we don't even have contact with anymore.

I hope Charlie enjoyed her birthday.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHARLIE!!!

June 4

Today we had our normal morning of madness, but Dude couldn't do his drum lessons.

On Saturdaywe watched MIB 3, it was awesome.

Here is the basic story, Agent J travels in time to MIB's early years in the 1960s, to stop an alien from assassinating his friend Agent K and changing history.

Josh Breslin does a great job of playing agent K from the past, he acctually acted like K.

Today is the first day of June and Winter.

Today I was lazy, I set up my computer so I lie on the lounge while working.
