I have always been daddy's little girl. When I was young i went everywhere with my father, with my multicolored farm coat, badger red stocking cap, and rubber boots to my knees-i was his sidekick. he taught me things like how to drive the tractors and fourwheelers, how to change the oil in a car, and how to drive a truck. i still remember begging him to let me sit on his lap and steer while he controlled the foot pedals.

after my little brother was born, i started being left behind more and more because my brother began to take my spot as daddy's little sidekick. although, at the time it was ok because i was about 10 years old and it was becoming un-cool to hang out with your dad all the time. i had better things to do, so i thought, like hanging out with my friends, playing basketball, and talking on the phone.

As i began my teen years my dad and I's relationship continuted to grow. i never talked to him about persal guy issues or anything like that, but i did begin to wish that i would have spent more time with him. i became active in varsity sports in high school it was tradition for all the players to go hug their parents before the game started. needless to say i always gave my dad a big wet kiss too! he didn't always appreciate it at the time, but i know deep down he loved it. my dad and i love to wrestle, he often says he isn't worried about me fighting off an attacker because let's just say i have some "tricks in my pocket!"

now that i have gone off to college he often calls and begs me to come home. i am convinced he misses me dearly. when i go hom he often asks if i want to spend the day with him, driving around the country side or working outside. he tells his friends that if he could clone and of his kids it would be me. i am always willing to help and hardly ever complain. my dad knows he can rely on me to get stuff done.

when i look into the future, i can't wait to ask my dad to walk me down the aisle and dance the father/daughter dance with me. i have a side of me that wants to be goofy and make a fool out of him and then there is a side of me that wants to take the moment and fly with it. i don't tell my father nearly enough how much i love him and how much i appreciate everything he does for me, and i know if i don't do this there are many other daddy's girls that fail to do the same thing too. don't take for granted the love of you father, tell him you love him and tell him you appreciate all the hard work he does for you, so you can live a good life.

Snow Day

Snow days are great, I am pretty sure that just about every student would agree with that. Snow days in elementary school are always good because it is one less day in a week that you have to listen to your teacher lecture you on and on and on! Snow days in high school are fun as well. I remember spending snow days with my brother....sledding, building snow forts and snowmobiling. My brother is 5 years younger than I am and we used to have soo much fun. I remember last year we rolled down one of our huge hills multiple times....actually we were more like tackling each other....Lets just say we both walked away with some bruises after that day. We also live on a farm so of course we had 5 dogs rolling down the hill with us too. Then we decided we wanted to make tunnels, it was going all fine and well until my brother ruined them! I would have to say those were the greatest snowdays....Although college snowdays are just awesome....yesterday was my second college snowday...my first one was last year over in fondulac...over a foot of snow fell that night and there was no way anyone was going to get anywhere! My second college snowday was yesterday! I didn't do a darn thing yesterday....I stayed up late and slept in...then sadley I had to shovel....had to make sure that darn mail man had a path to the mailbox....also had to make sure my lazy roomate could get to her car! After having that much snow and not going out and playing in it made me sad! I really wish i could have been home and playing in the snow with my brother! I am going home this weekend and lets just say I am planning on playing in the snow! I actually can't wait!! I hope my brother is ready to play in the snow and go snowmobiling! I am not really looking forward to the drive home....The words still aren't cleaned off all that great and people really do not know how to drive in snow! The first snowfall we had there was so many accidents already....its like seriously people this is Wisconsin....it snows every single year! Use your common sense!

Thanksgiving :)

I spent my Thanksgiving by myself. It actually kind of sucked. The reason I had to spend Thanksgiving by myself was because I decided to be nice and take some hours for another girl at work, who was desperate to get rid of them. It sounded really good when I did it, which was about a week before Thanksgiving day. You may wonder, well why didn't she just go home after working the extra hours, well because I actually ended up having two shifts on Thanksgiving. My first shift started at 6:45 and went until 11:30. My second shift started at 3:30 and went until 8:30. The second shift is the one I picked up so that the girl could go spend Thanksgiving with her family. Then there was this other girl who also had to work two shifts on Thanksgiving day, she was actually kind of upset that I took the shift that ended earlier because she wanted it because her second shift ended at 10 and then she had to be back to KMart for black Friday by 5:30 the next morning! So since I am such a nice person I decided I would stay till 10 for her and then she could leave at 8:30.

Although it did suck to have to work a double shift on Thanksgiving, which ended up being a total of eleven hours, I did get paid time and a half for working, I even got a free value basket certificate for Culver's, which is one of my favorite restaurants. :)

Something that I could not believe though, was that there was a line of people waiting outside KMart at 6 in the morning on Thanksgiving. Do these people not have lives, they should have been home getting dinner ready for their families or something, not standing in line at a store.

They were all there for the deals that we had going on back in our electronics section. We actually recieved a lot of compliments about how prepared we were for the rush that morning. We had done our research and had multiple people back in electronics to help things go smooth and efficiently.

The reason I worked a double on Thanksgiving day was because my family had already celebrated Thanksgiving back in October when my Aunt and Uncle were home from spain for three weeks. We had the full out meal, we had turkey, corn, homemade mashed potatoes, buns, and even wine. Of course my uncle bought a keg of beer to see if he could make my grandma mad and to be honest I think it worked. Anyways I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving with their families. I was able to go home Thanksgiving weekend and spend some time with the family so I didn't completely desert my family! :)
