tears, twinkle lights, and confusion

 my mom said it was time to put my
twinkle lights away.
i am very sad.

 it was a eerie to think that school was truly back in session. (eheew, don't even mention it, Maddiey!) i am still on strike with grammar- okay, all except for when i am in english...

as fourth period ended, i walked solemnly down the hallway by myself. at first i wasn't thinking about much, and that's when i realized something odd (odd is my new word... for a little while...). i realized i didn't remember ever coming to school this morning! i was a little confused how i got inside the school ( i wonder if my face showed it... people probably found it funny). i had to convince myself that Brenna's mom gave me a ride to school, which really did happen. when i reached the end of the hallyway (oh wow... i am not going to delete that hilarious mistake... hehe.), i met up with brynn. it was an odd greeting. i was still trying to figure things out. i am not sure what fried my brain. it must be the new year and new adjustments. (Maddiey, you better adjust quick!!!)

i desperately want to drive. but i know that with all the ice, there is no way my mom would want me to take the car. one day i would like to get my own car. a junky car. old fashion. yes, i want an old fashion, junky car.

i have to laugh at my almost-ten-year-old sister, Kenedi. she is trying to understand the fact that Joseph isn't Jesus' father- Heavenly Father is. She understood that Heavenly Father was Jesus' father but she kept getting her Josephs mixed up. She was confusing Joseph (Jesus' half-father) with Joseph Smith. She said, "So there's two Josephs? One is Joseph Smith and the other is Mary's Joseph?" I find it funny that she called him "Mary's Joseph."

be happy and try not to get confused.

lahve always,

Madison

p.s. friends, just because i  sign the end of my blog with Madison doesn't mean i want to be called that. please still call me Maddiey

p.p.s. i got a new light bulb for my reading lamp.

be

I wanna be,

wanna feel free.

walk on the beach

no shoes, no cares

feel the wind blowing through my hair

i'll let the waves hit my feet

feel the warmth on my face,

feel the heat

i don't care if people stop and stare

i want to just take in that salty air

I wanna be,

just wanna feel free.

That's WAY GREAT

You know what's my favorite?

I lahve it when you see a movie once and you have it all memorized- well, atleast the good parts.

Or when you sit on the porch, eating yogurt on a cold winter day.

Or taking a walk and crunching every pathetic leaf under your foot.

Or when you end up laughing but you don't know why.

It's WAY GREAT

Doesn't that sound slightly weird? WAY GREAT ? 

It was a mistake statement that someone made and it sorta stuck.

Why not?

Wanna know what else is WAY GREAT?

A Time to Think

At Christmas time, I lahve to stay up late when the house is silent and peaceful. I turn on the tree lights and sit on the far end of the couch on the far end of the family room. Don't ask me why I sit so far back, I just do. I like to sit back and enjoy the breathtaking view. I lahve those moments were you sit and think for hours on end with no worrying about what is going to happen in the future.

Just think.

No worries.

No pain.

Just a Time to Think.

The great thing about thinking like this means that you think of all of the nonsense you want. None of it has any importance. It may not even make any sense. The great thing is, is that you don't confuse anyone. Well, unless you confuse yourself... but there is no need to explain your thinking, you just let go and think anything you want to. The only person it needs to make sense to is yourself.

Never be afraid to sit awhile and think.  ~Lorraine Hansberry, A Raisin in the Sun

I love to read the Newspaper.

No, I don't read it a lot.

But when I do, I LAHVE IT!!!

I don't always care what is written in the paper, 

just the act of reading it makes me happy.
