School, Soccer, And A Baby Grand Piano
On Tuesday of last week our family started back to school. It has
been going pretty well, and the weeks seem to go by quickly. For school
Ericka is reading Little Women for her literature, and I am reading The Incredible Journey. I would much rather have to read Little Women,
because I just don't like animal books. I might not be able to read
Ericka's literature book for my school, but I can read it aside from
school. I also am doing Spanish on the school computer. The one thing
that is really annoying is that I have to wait until the room is empty.
Ben does not have to wait because he has to learn a language in
high school. I am always wanting to do Ben and Ericka's schoolwork. One
thing I wouldn't want to do is Ben and Ericka's algebra. I intensely
dislike math even though I'm not that bad at it. It's just so boring.
Sadie doesn't cause many distractions like I thought she would. She
normally just sits on a chair and colors with crayons and a piece of
paper. These past two Wednesdays she has gone to playschool with her
cousin John Mark.
We live very close to our cousins Lillie, Becca, John Mark, and Abi. In fact there is only one house between us. Tim, Lillie, and Becca are all doing soccer this year so we have been having a soccer practice. We use Tim's soccer goal and an old swing set frame for the other goal. Ericka, Lillie, and I are all on team "Fro Yo". We have done it every evening since Monday. We don't do it in the day time because of the heat. Last year Tim and Lillie were on the same team. There team name was Aztecs. Even though they may not be on the same team this year, they are sure to have lots of fun.
Our family is going to be housing the baby grand piano that our Uncle Jim is buying. I don't know all of the details, but it will be at our house tomorrow. Daddy, Uncle Paul, and Uncle Jim are going to have to somehow get it into our house without breaking the piano or denting the wall. I hope that the Lord Family Furniture Movers haven't lost there moving abilities. The piano was made in 1905.....it is probably the oldest thing in our house. I think it will be cool to have another piano in our house. We could do things like duets without having to share the same piano. We will have to wait two weeks or so to get the piano tuned though, but the second that it has been completely tuned, I'm sure that Ben will play it alot.

A Wasp Sting
Today I was the most afraid I remember being in years. Our family was visiting Mount Paron Primitive Baptist Church. I was swinging on the swing-set, and a wasp stung me on the neck. I'm really allergic, and I got very scared. I asked Mama where the epipen was. She didn't have it. We were visiting family, and in all the craziness of getting packed and changing bags, she forgot it.
Ericka told Daddy, and Daddy, Ben, and I got in the car. Out of all the places in GA why did it have to be in a large town with lots of red lights, and several people that were going too slow? I was afraid that I would have difficulties breathing like I did the last time I had a reaction. I prayed that God would keep me safe.
When we got to the hospital the lady at the front desk asked Daddy all these questions. I just wanted to get on with it. At last they brought me into this cold, scary room. Why do they have to make hospitals look so depressing? They checked my blood pressure and checked my heartbeat. I started to feel less nervous......until I saw a needle. The doctor said that the were going to use an IV to give me liquids. (They are giving me medicine through a tube and into my arm? What?)Well, they gave me an IV. The steroids felt fine, but the benadryl made me feel drowsy and jittery.
They finally released me from the hospital. I was glad to know that the people at the church prayed for me. I know that the prayers helped because other than the wasp sting hurting, feeling a little bit tight, and feeling uncomfortable I'm okay. The worse part was probably fearing it would be as bad as it was the last time. I will never forget my first reaction (the ambulance and everything), but the allergy shots I've been getting for a little over a year seem to be working. Now I won't worry as much.

| I look really scary in this picture. My pink face is not a reaction to the wasp sting though. It is my sun burn from the beach. |

| Looking on the bright side, I got to have so much fun with my cousins. |
