Depressions hurts, God can help!

My title says it all! Lately I have had some issues. Lately... No, more like sense December! I am one to over stress...!! Most times I try to just figure everything out by myself! Like I'm a teenager, why can I just do it myself!! Well... This time around I am asking someone for help. Sure people help but God is the only person who will actually tell me the right thing to do and when to do it without hesitation! He's so amazing I can't even tell you!

Some pet peeves of mine that really get me going are:
• when people chew with there mouth open
• when people sniff
• when people wiggle a bed when your relaxing
• when people don't put periods at the end of sentences
• when the 'noise machine' isn't on a multiple of 5
• when people snap there gum
• when people end there sentence with ...or."
• fake laughs
• the rubbing noise like when an air mattress barley moves
• when people repeat themselves so that everyone hears what they say

Why did I list them? Well first off those arnt all but secondly I've really had trouble being real snappy even someone does one of the previous items.

Well I'm a little sleepy so I hope this makes sense but if it doesn't reread the title, and just go with that!!

Love ya,
Sydney

I had a little 'lesson' tonight with mom! I couldn't tell you in words what I learned but she taught me about some buttons and switches... :D

Weekend Recap

So I just reread my last post about Mona and well after I read it, it kinda made me sad because well all I talked about was death and crying, which, my weekend was more than that! So, let me tell you everything!

Wednesday- Well theres only one thing we really did and that was drive! It was a pretty smooth drive. We drove to my 'papas' house which is located in Rugby, North Dakota. VERY small town! It is right next to Minot which is a bigger, well known city. We got there, relaxed and slept.

Thursday- Thursday morning Skyler came and picked up Shelia so they could go to the visitation together. He came in to go to the bathroom (Zane was sleeping in the car). He came, did his thing and they were off. Meanwhile my dad was, well to be honest I have no idea! Something outside... After he was done, we went to Pamida (rugby's target) because I forgot my black socks and was NOT going to wear white ones!! After that we drove to the Hotel/Casino where we would be staying for the next two days. It was placed on an Indian Reservation... Very interesting! We dropped our stuff and ran into those three hommies. We ran our stuff into our room, ran into some other families members (my stepmom comes from a family of eight kids so there's a lot of family!). We drove to the church where the visitation would be at. When we first got there, I didn't know what to do. Honestly, I just wanted to give Skyler a big, long bear hug more than anything! But instead I went downstairs and explored the church with Mona's niece, Taylor! Skyler approached us and said "Have you seen Zane? I dont know who but some brat is screaming outside and somebody needs to take care of it." Us three went outside to see Zane had been the kids screaming, and the short version of the story: he was climbing up something and slide down which caused three deep cuts plus his hands covered in dirt. I felt so bad for him! *** Later I was standing in the entry way with Taylor chatting. I told her I wanted to see Mona, but was scared. She offered to walk up with me and I said yes. We walked up and the moment I saw her beautiful face, I cried, and cried, and cried. Some family of hers made two poster tri-folds with pictures from birth to death. There was this framed picture of Mona and Zane when Zane was, I'd guess 2 or 3 weeks! It was so precious... At the end of the visitation we took Zane and a couple other cousins to the hotel to swim, we swam, ate, and attempted catching grapes in our mouths in the pool (huge fail). All us cousins showered and went to my other cousin Sarahs room and watched TV while the adults went to the casino... Two of my cousins got picked up and then it was Sarah, Zane and I. Skyler came to check on Zane then I got the key to there room so us two could hang until Skyler was done. We played with his new toys, watch TV, and talked about his school. It was about 2:30 and there was a knock on the door. I didn't really wanna open it but I did and saw my dad and my aunt Sheryl to let me go from my 'shift'. Honestly, I didn't want to leave! I wanted to stay with Zane, not sleep! But I did anyway...

Friday- I already blogged about today but I'll redo it. Woke-up and went to Sarahs room. I went into Skylers room to ask if they wanted any donuts. Instead Skyler tried to pay me for babysitting. I did not take it! Ya, $20 is a nice chunk of change and heck ya I wanted it but he could use it way more wisely then I! We got ready and well, read the other post :) Let me add, Zane and I played connect (xbox) at his house and had a lot of fun!! Didn't do much. Okay, im just gunna tell you I have had no sleep the entire weekend so I'm getting really tired and my 'days' are getting leads thought filled! Played with Zane, talked with Skyler, helped with thank yous and watched Transformers 2 with the cuz's...

Saturday- Went out to eat at Applebee's with Skyler, Sheryl, there family's and my family. Then drove to Fargo! Roads were bad so we just stayed there... My amazing stepmom planed for me and Sarah to surprise me and to go to a movie! We went to Beastly which is a pretty amazing movie if I do say so...

Sunday- today we drove, did homework, slept a little... After small group I got it! Yep... I got my Rebel!! Love it!! Took many pictures!

In away, this weekend has changed my life in good. Now I don't have to be worrying every minute if Monas gunna die and I can schedule stuff without having to worry about canceling it and feeling bad... I know that sounds horrible... I am happy though because she is now in a better, pain free place! Mona, I love you sooooo much!! Skyler, txt me anytime! Zane, keep up your Call of Duty skills!! Love you all!!

Love ya,
Sydney

Mona Jessica Larocque-Prellwitz

Today we laid Mona to rest. It was very heart breaking to have to watch Skyler and Zane cry as they had to walk to the casket. Everything was organized greatly. After the church service there was a lunch down at the city hall type thing. All the cute little old ladies filled our cups with Kool-aid and coffee. So cute... After the lunch before everyone left the building a couple of her family members made a slideshow. Well this little baby here had just pulled herself together then after the slideshow started well, I cried some more!

My dad has sent some pictures to provide I guess and there was two pictures where when one of the times they came down, we went to the Nick Universe and did some rides. I don't know if you've been to the MOA lately but they added this like rope jungle type thing and mona wanted to go really bad so after about 10 minutes Skyler agreed to go with her. We stayed with Zane and held all there stuff. While they were doing the first floor (they didn't quite make it to to second) we snapped some pictures. Dad sent in the pictures and so i saw them in the show and looked at Sky, eyes blood shot and just could not stop weeping! I just seriously could not stop!

I mean think about it, what if you got married to this wonderful person! So beautiful and you loved them so much to get married. Then you find out your partner has cancer. Okay, you know what, we can do this! We will fight together! Then it goes away! They're free!! Couple months later they go in for an app and find out, it's come back. You go back to that positive brain, we will fight together! Then it gets worst! And worst! Then the doctors don't think she's gunna make it past 3 o'clock that day! But they do! They make it a whole nother 3 months! Then somethin really bad hits and they are now in the hospital, couple hours go by and they say, I have this feelin it's time to go home. My real home! Couple hours later... You lost your true love! The one person who you told all your problems to is gone...

If my spouse were to die HECK YA I'd be cryin! Uh... I need to end this because I can barely see the screen.

Zane and I figured out that I'm gunna come stay with him and 'dad' (aka skyler) for a week or two this summer. He made it very clear to me that it had to be after school ended so that we could hang out all day! I would seriously LOVE to come stay down here for a week or two! Give skyler a break, get to hang out with Zane (and skyler). It'd be pretty fun! But I doubt my parents would let me... Well better hit the hay. Pretty tired after partin with Zane until 2am!!

Love you readers!

This morning

As I got ready this morning, I packed my waterproof mascara. Today after school, we will be leaving for North Dakota. I will be missing two more days of school *jumping up in the air*. Tonight we are staying at my dads, dads house in a cute little town named Rugby, North Dakota. I love rugby because it is so little and cute but limits what you can do. Thursday is I think the visitation. It is going to be VERY depressing. I would love to stay for a couple weeks just seeing all of my family but we all know nobody has that kinda time off... Friday is the actual thing. I'm not going to write a whole lot about it because I don't wanna go to school with red eyes and messed up make-up (girls worst dream). Saturday I don't think there is any like big thing. I think were just going to hang out with Skyler and Zane...Poor boys! Sunday we will be returning to Snowville. I am excited that today is Friday for me, so that's an upside! Right?!?!

Once again I'd like to thank you all for reading about my crazy life! As long as I have wifi I will be able to post threw out my long weekend. Well, my dad has the IPhone 4g thing or whatever so if he let's me use it, I can post on here anywhere.

Have a great day ladies (or I guess if there's a man reading this, you too??)

Highs and Lows of my week so far and to come

Lows: (I like to start negative and leave with a positive) Well my biggest low is tonight is my last night in Minnesota. This is not something my family has told a sole but, were moving to North Dakota because that's where all my family lives and all the seven hours drives have just been so stressful on all of my parents... Im going to miss everybody so much! Were moving to Minot. The house is beautiful though!! We are going to rent out our house to a family of three.

Bahahaha I'm lieing! You know I convinced you tho... Don't deny it! :D No tonight really is my last night in Minnesnowta but Im comin back Sunday night. I think you know why but if not it's for my aunts funeral. It is going to be a very depressing weekend/Thurseday/Friday/Monday. I think the worst part, is going to see Zane crying and Skyler as well... Well all my family really!

High: I'm getting fancy! My mom has one of those big fancy nancy camera for her photography business (which you should check out! I put the link on the bottom of the post). Well... She's buying her friend Nealy's camera because Nealy's buying a different one. Guess what my mom is doing with her old one. SELLING IT! But! Guess who'd buying it! ME!! For sure by Monday I will be an owner of a Rebel XS! How exciting is that!! You will defiantly be seeing more photos of mine! I'm guessing alot of London :) Sees so photogenic! And I'm sure I'll figure out a way to take pictures of myself! Haha

Right now I'm sitting in the waiting room of a doctors office (mom isn't feeling good). This place grosses me out beyond words! Coughing people everywhere!! Blah... But there's a cute baby sitting in front of me :) I love babies!! Well I'm going to go back to covering my mouth so I don't catch anything!

Love ya,
Sydney

Lent

Tomorrow is lent! Guess who still hasn't decided what she's gunna give up! Yep... This girl! At my moms, as a family were giving up going out to eat. That's all fine and dandy but I want to do something for ME! I was thinking pop but I kinda don't really wanna give that up. How about... Ice cream? Uh... HELP!! Give me some ideas on what to give up!! NOT babysitting!! Also what are YOU personally giving up?

Love ya,
Sydney
