What A Day

Today was quite significant for a few people. First ill start with my mom, last Saturday was her last day of school. For two years, she has been going to school to get her degree in pastry arts. Every Saturday from 6am to 5 or 6 pm and Wednesday after work till 10. So, she was home for her first Saturday. Then my cousin Lauren came over to spend the day with her and my sister. So when I came home I had to see her, it has been awhile and we both love each other vary much she is only five.
As for me, I did something I have been longing to do since I entered high school. I participated in habitat for humanity. It was so much fun on the way there the bus driver brought her daughter and she sat next to me, I love children so it was fun to have her there. We talked and joked around we even ate donuts, but when our group got to the house, I said my fair wells and proceeded to get of the buss. She grabbed the end of my jacket a pleaded for me to stay I felt so bad she a vary innocent look on her face that made me want to stay but I had to go. I explained to her the best I could why I had to go and she finally let me leave.
When I got in the house, we had a rustic orientation and a little warm up time. After I went upstairs of the house and started nailing something for something, I do not remember what I was doing exactly but if I described it to a carpenter, they would get it. Anyway, I completely botched the job up and had to undo it. I felt bad because it meant the guy instructing me had to go and do it the right way.
I feel I redeemed my self when we framed a wall, I was pretty good at that and mixing the cement to cement the sump pump pipes. After that I came home to the surprise of lil Lauren and spent the rest of my day playing with her then Holley came over with pizza and a movie and I took part in that. So all in all my life, I regaining so of it much needed previous normality.
