Writing with a Purpose: Summer Edition

6. 5/29/15

It's a beautiful, sunny day and I'm inside.

Great.

My neighborhood has it's own pool, it's not big, but a pool is a pool and it's summer. Sadly, I don't know where in blue hell our pool key is at. Now this wouldn't be a big problem if people actually came out of their houses in my neighborhood and went to the pool but my neighborhood is filled to the brim with old people that rarely ever leave their homes. I don't know what is it about a townhouse that attracts old people. Maybe it's because they're kids are all grown up and what's the point of having a big house with no one to fill it. With that being said, there's a slim chance there would be anyone inside the pool that could open the gate for me. Anyway, you may be wondering why I included a swimsuit model with today's entry, let me tell you. My goal this summer is NOT to be as skinny as her. My goal is to be tan like that. I want a nice dark, golden tan. I know it will compliment my dark hair so well. The only problem with that is, my skin naturally just doesn't tan. I could be out in the sun ALL day and I will rarely change color. This meaning that I'm going to have to purchase some tanning oils so I can get that even, glazed look.

I got to drive again today, on main roads and everything. My mom drove to Wendy's first and I drove back home. I love the fact that I have my permit and I'm learning to drive. It's the most liberating feeling. I feel like a woman.

For the past hour or two, we've been hanging out with our neighbors. Our neighbors are pretty cool. They are the nicest neighbors we've ever had. I'm also glad my mom has a friend that's close by so she can enjoy herself and not be so alone. My neighbor even offered me a job, something really easy, so I'll be getting easy money. I'm so excited. I've been stressing out since I haven't had the opportunity to even get a job and now money is just falling into my lap. I get 40 dollars a week since I babysit, and NOW more money just adding up. One thing that is annoying is right now my parents and the neighbors are drinking. Once drunk people are all together, stupid plans begin getting made. My mom, who wasn't drunk by the way, and the wife decided "oh lets run a 5K in the morning!" I automatically stopped in my tracks and stared my mother down. Reason being because tomorrow I have plans to go out with my boyfriend. So if I'm stuck home with not only my siblings, but her children too, there's no way I can leave and that's not fair to me considering my mom and I previously discussed that I was leaving. Me trying to be nice I said "Sure, if you want." But honestly inside I want to explode. First of all, I hate children. They are noisy, too needy, and require too much work. What makes things worse is that they have a son that is 1 or 2 years older, still very much a baby. I dislike babies even more. I cannot stand the crying, I rather deal with an annoying 5 year old that can tell me what's wrong then a baby that cries, leaving me to figure out whats the problem. I am not a mom and I CERTAINLY don't want to be a "mom" to anyone else's children. Secondly, don't change around MY PLANS! That is a big no no for me. If I already have my day set, with everything planned and ready, DO NOT mess with my plans. I hate it so much. Not only does it frustrate me, it makes me anxious. I already have a short temper as it is, so this is pushing it. Time also flies whenever I'm not home, I would like to enjoy as much time as I can away from home especially since next week I won't be able to see him.

Well I've ranted enough and I don't wanna go to sleep upset so that's enough for today.
