LAKE POWELL

this week was way and when i say way i mean like out of the ball park way different than how i envisioned it in my head. it was so peaceful and serene and not hectic, in my mind. and then BAM we get there and its like a madhouse X 50. the majority of the passengers on the boathouse were under the age of 12 and in my 19 years of brown life i have never witnessed such turmoil . the children seriously went crazy.

caleb wouldnt put his stupid gamecube boy thing down and i dont think he went outside cause hes the only one that doesnt have to apply lotion and aloe on 5 times every hour and honestly i dream of the day that gameboy breaks..sultan and bona wont keep their hands off of each other and daniel doesnt listen to anything i say. harmony complains about anything and everything she can. eva has this whole "im only talking to my mommy so even though you answer for mommy it doesnt count..so im just gonna keep repeating mommy until she answers me even if its 100 times" and then today at lunch she is crying for who knows what reason and blames me for hurting her?? and both of my hands were on my jumbo jack cheeseburger. strange one that child is. i wonder what all she says i do to her when im not there to defend myself with my jumbo jack burger? ramadan and faith really didnt ever bug me..i mean faith has her moments but for the most part she was always happy to see me and listened to the things i asked her to do. so 10 points for those two!

 but i debated a lot of the week if i was ready to job hunt..thats how bad it was. and i know that seems a little dramatic but boy it was kinda like the last straw ya know? but what family vacation isnt crazy and as far from normal especially since the 6 and under crowd out numbers the adults. so im giving them all a pass..because at the end of the day..i love the newmans like my own family. i guess thats why they annoy me..cause i look at them like my own family.does that even make sense? whatever..but there were a lot of fun parts about the trip though i mean im not a downer mcdownster all the time..just after long weeks.

i rode a jetski for the first time and im a pro already. the scenery was beautiful all week long. dinner everynight was the best..and i have gotten my fill of gnomeo and juliet..i watched it about 3 times!! oh and i found out my motion sickness is way worse on a boat then when i sit in a car. i viewed a national monument and saw a ton of navajo indians or the extended families of navajo indians. i have come to love cocoa butter because boy do i look like i wiped chalk all over me down here in southern utah but all in all it was a splendid week with its normal craziness that you ask for.. being a nanny for 11 children.

HAVE A HAPPY WEEEKEND.
