Hello all you awesome people who regularly read my blog!

I haven't run since last time.

We're having a garage sale, and in order to have a garage sale, you have to do a lot of work, such as cleaning out innumerable closets and boxes to find the stuff you're selling. You also have to clean out the garage, put all the stuff in the garage, and set up tables to put the stuff on. And price it all. And get done with school a day early so you won't have to do work on the day of the sale. And make cookies and lemonade and coffee. "Hunh?" We girls always sell that stuff.

And I also babysat this morning for Maria. Maria has three older siblings, but of course they were all in school. I was going to babysit pretty much all day, till 4 or 4:30, but then one of her older brothers got sick, so her Dad had to come home, so my services weren't required. We came back and forth, back and forth, from my house to her house, and every time she had to change clothes, because she had a home outfit of a leotard-skirt and tights, but she had to wear jeans and a sweatshirt to come to my house. I suggested that she come over because she was the only one, and we're having a garage sale, but I have the feeling she'll be asking me all summer if we can go to my house. Her family is one of the ones I'll be babysitting this summer--I'll call them the S's. I don't want my name on the internet, why should I post theirs! I'll also be babysitting the M's and the F's. All the kids are in the age range of 5 to almost old enough to babysit.

I also babysat Sunday unexpectedly, for our neighbors, the triplets. (Their dad needed to get a suit for his grandma's funeral.) That was interesting. They painted. Not like one would think: paint goes onto brush, brush goes onto paper. They had another link in the chain: paint goes onto brush, brush goes onto hands and/or arms, and hands go onto paper. Fortunately they wanted to watch movies so I could clean up. I actually made it with only one splotch of purple paint on my arm.

I have two more biology tests, one history test, and two dissections left! All in 5 days! I don't think it's thouroughly sunk in yet that I only have 5 more days of regular school! Of course, I can't count my chickens before they hatch, because I have spanish and piano in the summer too. And probably Algebra. Algebra 1 I finished before the schoolyear was done, Algebra 2 is taking longer. Because, of course, it's harder.

(Life is good. Pass it on.)
