This week is fair week. The week that I used to look forward to all summer -- and was sooo bummed 2 years ago when I was in Europe and had to miss it. It's supposed to be a time of family, friends, fried food and spinny rides...lol.
This year it's not that...at all. I wish I was young again, it used to be so much fun.
It didn't start off too bad, my brother and I went and met up with some of my cousins. Then Adam (my brother) went and got a wristband (to ride rides) and joined my two younger cousins leaving me, the penny pinching party pooper, alone with my Aunt. It wasn't too bad at first, despite the 90*+ weather...we even watched a pig give birth to some piglets. Then my cousin Katrina came, and I was glad to get away from the Aunt for a little while. Well...she ended up running off with some boys which once again left me with the Aunt. I was hot, bored, tired, hungry...you can only go so long watching the boys play bumper cars over and over. So I ended up leaving and coming home to take a shower, I was filthy and hot. My mom was supposed to meet me again at 7:30 to go play bingo. Well, she just now called telling me she's going to watch the races with my Aunt. Shot down and abandoned once again.
It really shouldn't bother me that much, but I feel like crying. All afternoon (for about 6 hours) I was looking forward to my mom getting there so I could get away from the crazed Aunt for a little while. There are times like this that I really wish I had some close friends *laughs* After high school I really didn't keep in contact with anybody around here...I guess I've learned my lesson.
I know it'll only be as good as you make it, and maybe it's just all my fault.
Oh well, I guess I'll go and play Bingo by myself...I think I need a hug.
Thanks for listening to me whine.
