Always

You know..it's always interesting when my sister comes home. All of us girls cooked dinner tonight and we just kept talking about memories. We always seem to talk about that every time we're all together. Some stories are the same..but there's always something new we learn about each other. Some new piece of information or a different viewpoint. My two younger sisters and I were "home schooled" when we were in elementary/middle school (I put it in quotations because we never did schoolwork..it's like those years were just freedom). But we had so much hate for each other..it's not like that anymore..but we did. Especially me. I was always angry. We would fist fight all the time, viscous little girls we were. We were almost like two separate families..me and my younger sisters and then the older ones. Especially between us and my older sister, she and I shared a room our entire lives and still..we were so separated. I can remember whenever she would be in a bad mood (which was quite often) and she would be crying in our room, I would try to go in so I could go to sleep and she would scream and yell at me to get out and go away. So I would sit outside our room till she fell asleep so I could go in. It sucked. But eh..I don't really care anymore. My little sisters and I have so many stories that my older sister never knew about us..go figure but it's always funny to enlighten her about our past. Her favorite line whenever we start talking is, "What??? I never knew that..." Every time..she always says it. It's crazy how a family can just be so separated and so close at the same time.

Hurray

Cousin's in town and is living with us for a month, maybe more. She's my age and we're like two peas in a pod. This is exciting and it's been a lot of fun so far. It is kinda strange though to think she's actually living with us, all by herself. But it's awesome. And that's why I why I haven't written in a long time too. We been busy. =] I'll try to write more. It's the Moon house so there's always something happening.

NOOOOOOOO!!!

Hmm..well I think I just screwed him up more. My twelve-year-old brother. A while ago my sisters and I were reminiscing on the greatness of the backstreet boys and nsync back in the day. Well he was listening and a few days later he comes up to me and tells me that I was right about them. He looked them up and he really really likes them. I wanted to laugh really hard but I held my tongue and just said, "oh?" He says yep and his favorite backstreet boys songs are "Larger Than Life" and "Show Me the Meaning of Lonely." *sigh* I really really hope he doesn't go around telling people this. But today I told him that I would show him better music. I have to educate this boy in good music. I don't want him to grow up a bigger dork than necessary. urgg....I really wish he had an older brother who lived at home to do this. I guess it's up to me to man him up. At least he's not ultra momma's boy like my 8 year old brudda.

Thanks...

I would just like to say thank you family for leaving me one cold leftover pancake that was probably sitting out for a few hours.................

lol..oh well

Making Plans

So summer's on the way and a cousin is getting married! Great excuse for vacation time!! One of my favorite things about my family is that we always go on vacations. Minnesota area better watch out, cuz the Moon's are on the way!! hehe Don't really care what we do, anything when we're all together makes it fun. We're just cool like that.

New Chairs

Well. In our what-we-call-the-living-room we had this blue couch that we lived, breathed and slept on for years. I came home one day from my class and my mother had gotten this big truck and was taking it out of the house. I personally didn't really care but was surprised because my mom is a MAJOR pack rat. I asked my dad about it and he said that he told she had to get rid of something if she wanted to bring something else in. Today she brought home some UGLY green floral chairs. The cushions on them are pretty comfy, not gunna lie, but still. They are so big and ugly. They don't match anything in our house and we don't have room to put them anywhere. She says they remind her of some chairs she used to sit it when she was a kid. We think they look like they came from a nursing home. We'll see where this all goes....my dad is trying to be civilized about it but he really hates them. Ehh...

Little Brother....ISSUES!

So my older brother is in the army and he came home from Iraq for hopefully the last time, but he's being moved to fort hood, so he was able to visit home this past week before he went over there. We were hanging out talking in my room which usually turns into talking about our family. Our sixth grade brother is, I hate to admit it, a geek. He goes to this private school that we've pretty much all gone to at some point in our lives. I am the second to have graduated from there. (It's kindergarten through 12th-and SUPER SMALL-my graduating class was 20) He has always been picked on since he went there, which he started going in first grade. All the kids have always picked on him. He's tall and lanky kinda, not very good at sports, wears glasses, and isn't very coordinated or confident. I was catching my older brother (age 21) up on the issues this younger brother has.

He's had self confidence issues since I can remember. He used to always talk about killing himself and our family and blowing up the school. =[ not cool. He's very emotional, but more closet emotional. He seems to always be depressed...and it doesn't help that his "friends" are always making fun of him. Teachers don't do anything. Makes me mad, especially because we have talked to them about it. It's a small school, how hard to could it be to keep an eye on that? They keep track of everybody else's just fine. Anywho that's another blog altogether. smh...

We think he should go see a psychiatrist or counselor or SOMEBODY. But we were discussing things we can do to help him with his self confidence. He takes everything too much to heart. We want to make him not care so much. My brother suggested that since, he's not home or any older brother for that matter, that I should do the deeds he suggests. My 24 year old brother helped this brother to not care so much and get confidence by making him hit on older girls. I know. I laughed at first too. But I am a woman. Of course I don't completely understand this. He explained to me by doing this our lil bro will experience both rejection and success. Older girls will think it's cute that this little boy is asking for their numbers and whatnot. He will begin to not care so much about the kids his age because he'll understand that there's more out there. Apparently the guy who has the most girls following him has the most power. I'm the closest to a an older brother he will have at home because I'm kind of a tomboy, and I'll tell him straight up what's what. He listens to me.

Also, we were thinking that maybe I can convince mom to let him go to a public school for at least one year. He'll learn that there are others like him. He's not alone in his awkwardness. Sure he'll get picked on but he won't be the only one. I think it'll be good for him. Maybe he'll also learn how to stand up for himself too. I want to help him so bad but there's only so much I can do. He needs a man to man him up. I am a woman. I don't understand everything he's going through because like I said I'M NOT A MAN!
