Let the procrastination begin....

Well, I'm supposed to be doing this timeline for apwh that's do tomorrow and I'm only 1/5 of the way through it (which is already 2 pages typed. I need to stop writing so much.) and I decided that this is as good of a time as any to do what the guest speaker we had at FCA told us to do, which is write down the reasons why we honor our parents, so here I go.

Daddy: Mmm..where do I start. My dad basically works his butt off to get us what we need and usually whatever we want (within reason.). He's hardly ever home because he works so freaking much and travels a lot, but considering that he didn't go to college, he's made a lot of himself. And even though he has no patience at all and gets really really angry at us a lot, he provides for our family.

Mommy: So much to say, my mom is a full-time chauffer, cook, maid, tutor, and assistant pre-school director, so basically my mom works full time and manages to raise a family of four kids. She cooks dinner for us every night, brings my sister to and from dance class 4 days a week, picks me up from tutoring and FCA or whatever else I want to stay after for, brings my brothers to boyscouts and their hockey practices and games, gets us all to church and my sister and brothers to CCD and me to TYM, helps us with our homework, cleans the house (not that we don't have chores.), does all the laundry (something I probably need to learn how to do soon.) and still manages to find time to go to the gym everyday and carry out a social life. What more is there to say? She's incredible and I know that I'm stressed out enough with just school and homework, I don't know how she goes to work everyday and then comes home and deals with us, and we are BRATS too...it's actually really sad.

So yeah, Ta-Da. The end.
