NEWS!!!

OK, so Dad and I were going to go to an Appleseed Shoot but it was cancelled by me, and I wasn't feeling well. I'm not going into what I have/had but I will tell you that it doesn't feel good!

Anyway, there's other news...nice news too!
Noah got his permanent cast on Monday! It's green, I think because he wanted it to be Mom's favorite color. I thought he was going to get orange, but no! not that!
It was interesting how they set it. It wasn't Dr. Griffin who did it, but this other doctor. He had to put quite a bit of pressure on it, and Noah could still feel it Tuesday.
I've got a story to tell you:
There was this little boy who Noah made friends with. ( Let's say his name was Blake.). So Blake was in there because he had been hanging off the back of the lawn mower. He fell off and his leg got in the way of the blade,and it gave him a deep cut in his leg, from his ankle to about halfway up to his knee...he actually showed us that bandage. He said that it was so deep that you could see the bone...eww. Anyway, he would have a good job of making people laugh. So VJ told Mom ," Mommy, I go it potty." . So Mom took him,and while she was getting her purse next to me, and everything near me, Blake was making up this little song. I don't remember all of it, but it was sort of like,"He's goin to the bathroom", and that thing. I was doing spelling, so I could hide my laughing face. Noah laughed so hard, I thought he'd pass out.He laughed, and laughed so hard, and he fell out of his chair( not on his arm..though), the chair's legs hit the wall , ( loud enough so that everyone on that side of the waiting room could hear it), and everyone in that side were looking them. Blake's mom was like, "settle down, and don't rock on that chair or else you'll fall"
I hide my face behind my spelling and grammar books, but Noah had everyone looking at him...so embarrassing.
Oh, yeah, I locked us out of the house this morning. We had to call Mimi and Pap to come and give us the spare house key, because they had the only one. I don't think that Dad was very pleased...but no swear words came out...very interesting....I witnessed plenty of them.


Well, that it's for a little bit. I'm sure that there will be more coming up. Dad got this thing for his radio( which he spends a lot of time on), hooked up, and he's on it now.
I told Mom and Dad, earlier," You know, you really do ' cross the Rubicon' when you have kids"
If you remember from when you had history, Julius Caesar crossed the Rubicon River. He had been fighting the Celts. The Senate had told Pompey, " Tell everyone of Rome that Caesar is a traitor, and isn't loyal to Rome. You will be able to take away Caesar's power before he returns to Rome. " This wasn't easy, because Caesar's daughter was married to Pompey. Pompey wanted to by popular, and was jealous of Caesar. So Pompey told everyone just that, and sent a message to Caesar. It said that Caesar would be arrested if he stepped foot in Rome.
Pompey and the Senate were trying to get together an army of there own, but nobody wanted to fight against Caesar's army..who had fought a lot, and in different countries.
Caesar made it to the Rubicon River, and stood there for a long time..staring at the bridge. Finally he swept out his sword, and said," My enemies have forced me to do this. We will march into Rome, and let the die be cast. " And he crossed the bridge. But Pompey didn't make an army in time,and Caesar made it back to his power.
When someone is about to make an important decision, we still say, " You are about to cross the Rubicon." Crossing the Rubicon means that you are about to do something that you can't undo.
Now, I'm all caught up about this history thing. Let me tell you about Cleopatra. Some of you may know about her, and she's a very interesting charter...even though she should be shamed( our neighbor's oldest daughter told me that). She wasn't a Christian, and just reading her story will tell you right off. She had herself delivered to Caesar in a rolled up rug, interrupting his meeting. Everyone was charmed by her beauty. Caesar agreed to her request to secure her throne in Egypt, and he helped her kill her brother. Now Cleopatra married her brother. I do think that that's gross, and now a days it's be sickness and everything. So she had married her brother, and when he died, she married her other brother. Simply disgusting. For her first brother, when they reigned first together, ( and they argued a LOT), she was 18,and he was 10. G-R-O-S-S. The neighbor girl said that she'd NEVER marry her brother( who's 8 or 9, Noah's age, ), and who'd want to marry him. I didn't think that was nice, but he's not always nice to me,and I'm not always nice to him either...so I understand. I wouldn't like to marry Noah...or VJ for that matter.

Anyway, she got in relationships with Marc Anthony, and Julius Caesar. She married Anthony, but ' dated" Caesar. Gross..again

more later.
