Thanksgiving

Oh my god I am so glad it's Thanksgiving Break. I can't believe we have t take current events notes the whole time. Thanksgiving Dinner is so boring at my house. There are only about seven people including me, my brother, my mom, my dad and three grandparents. For some reason, our cousins absolutely refuse to do holidays with the rest of the family, but two of my grandparents will be stopping by their house anyway, so we don't even get them for the whole time. I wonder if the will bring their two dogs, Emma and Trevor. Trevor is a Doberman, and we don't know what Emma is but she's also really big. They make such a disturbance when they come to my house but at least they don't scare my dog Abbey. She is much smaller than they are. I really don't have plans for this break, mostly I will just relax and play with my dog or do things with my friends. Oh, and I am also staying at my grandparent's for the next few days so my mom can clean for Thanksgiving. I never have understood why she thinks she needs to clean the whole house just for my grandparents. They don't clean when we are coming over. At least she isn't making my brother and me help, and I don't have to clean my room. You know what would be really cool? If we had off all the time between Thanksgiving and New Years. At least as long as we didn't have to have a shorter summer for it. Summer is about the right length right now. I wish we would get some snow. Some people hate snow, but I figure, if it has to be cold anyway, it might as well snow and not be all gray and brown and dead outside.

I still have no idea how to post a picture, even though someone tried to show me. So I need a link, so I'm just putting this.

The school says it's not a good website for research but really it is.

If your bored this website is kind of interesting. It's about how you could have spent the money we're using for the Iraq war.

Snow Day? Not.

We absolutely should have had a snow day today. Well actually an ice day but that's not what you call it. I didn't ride the bus today and coming to school we were going like fifteen miles per hour on Six Mile. A car spun out in front of us and another almost hit it. Then I had to get out and walk because that was actually faster. I ran into my friend crossing the street and we almost slipped on the ice. The roads were so bad this morning that it was not safe at all. They should have closed school.

Last night I actually thought they were going to. My friend called me on the phone and told me to do all the stuff like wearing your pajamas inside out and taping a penny to the window to cause a snow day. My brother thought that we would have one too. I told him that there was no way that we would have enough snow, but he should hope that all of the slush on the street froze. I felt kind of bad hoping for this because it's kind of dangerous and there could be accidents, but of course that could happen anyway. My friend came over for a while, and when my brother and I walked her home we all got into a big snowball fight with her brother. We were running around the field at like ten o'clock at night when her parents came out on her porch and yelled at us. It was so much fun.

I was so tired this morning I didn't want to get up for anything. I just wanted to stay home and play with my dog Abbey in the snow, which she loves.

I am so tired I am about to fall asleep. I don't get it, I went to bed at ten and that's really early for me. I'm so glad that it's the weekend, but I have a lot to do. I've got something like four tests to make up Monday, a whole bunch of homework and I need to go shopping. I need a dress for a bar mitzvah that will be my cultural event. I don't even know the kid's name. I probably should find that out.
