My Birthday

Well... Yesterday was my birthday. It was unlike any birthday I ever had. I woke up and opened Frozen. I AM SO HAPPY... about that anyways...

At school, my friend, Anne got me the best card EVER!!! I am not gonna say what was in it but it was the best one ever. :)

She also brought be a cake, and that is my birthday before 8:00 AM. I went to my locker and Lauren had decorated it. There was also a gift in it when I opened it. I got five throughout the day. They were awesome!!!

I would have gone to practice, but I didn't empty my gear from my locker and we moved to another pool while ours gets repaired. Instead, we went out to dinner. We went to Chili's.

At dinner, I found out my grandmother died that morning ;(

From now on, I will probably be sad on my birthday ;(

When we got home, we watched Frozen.

My dad liked it. We had a conversation about how Disney kills the parents or they are kidnapped or something...

That's all I am gonna say on the subject... :(

 

The Theater Showcase

It was a great show!!! All of the actors knew just what to do, they knew all their lines, it was funny, it was great.

Lauren was in it and her mom was my ride. After the show, Lauren had to clean up a little backstage. So, my sister, Tyler, goes and sits on the stage. She knows she isn't supposed to, and I told her... repeatedly that she shouldn't be up there. Danielle, Lauren's little sister, decides she wants to sit up on the stage with her. I keep her down for a while, but she did get up there so Tyler and I pulled her down.

She started to complain. "Why can't I sit up there if she can?" and I said "She is a junior. You wanna pull her down, go for it."

Keeping in mind Danielle is only 11ish, I know she couldn't pull her down. What I didn't count on was two people from the play offer to help the little girl.

I tried to keep Tyler up/make sure she came down smoothly, but the two people and Danielle were stronger than me and plowed her off the stage. Tyler hit the ground hard and re-hurt her knees and her shoulder. She blames me and the first thing she does when we get home is tell mom.

She comes in crying "Ashlynn pushed me off the stage."

In my defense it was a meaningless comment I made to Danielle. It was a joke. Danielle COULD NOT EVER EVER EVER pull her down. So I thought I would humor her.

Tyler blames me for making the joke, but she would have done the same thing if she were in my shoes.

If you ask me, it is her fault for sitting on the stage. She got multiple warnings and she even helped me pry Danielle from them once or twice. Tyler should have known better than to sit on the stairs, and frankly, those other two people should have minded their own business.

After she told mom, and I started to say my side of the story, she yells a screech that sounds like something in a horror movie would scream that sounded like 'get out'. So I did.

Mom talked to her for a minute or two then came up to where I was. She accused me of not being a good sister, and that I don't get to pick when I am a good sister, I should just always be one.

The worst part of the whole thing, was that my mom said it in her quiet voice that is even more scary than when she is yelling. When she yells it is bad, but when she is quiet, it means that she is so mad her voice cannot show just how mad she is.

That's all I am gonna say on the subject... (no heart this time)  ;(
