Today, our hours at school were switched around. For example, we went to 6th hour first, then 5th hour second, etc. After 3rd hour, I went to Chris Papp’s locker and asked him to the prom. His face just lit up. It was so cute. Even though I knew that he wasn’t going and didn’t really like proms, I still asked. He told me the same thing , but also said bye and I’ll see you in the halls. I can’t believe I did that.
After school, I took Andrea Erwin and Jenny Krbez home. Then, I took Kara over to get her car. I went to work to pick up my paycheck. I got a note from Christina Merrill saying we are supposed to clean the slicer at 8:30 p.m. I told Shellie that and she was surprised since we have always done it at 8 p.m. I gave Shellie $3 for her bowlathon for Special Olympics. I went to Sue's house. I fed Ashley and burped her.
Chris Labelle and his friend came over. Sue and I talked a lot about Chris Papp. I told her about my asking Chris to the prom. She laughed.
I had dinner at Paesanos with mom. A nice lady eating near us gave us a coupon good for a free pizza when you buy 1. That was nice of her. We went grocery shopping at Meijer and I saw Erin Mullally.
I went to Frosty Oasis and got 2 regular peanut butter cup sundaes for Sue and I. I saw Mr. and Mrs. Piersma there. Mr. Keur was there, too. I got to Sue’s house. Her sister was on the phone.
I had a nice talk with Sue for 2 hours. We talked about everything.
Molly was 18 today. Sue came home from the hospital. Jennifer Geiger visited Sue and bought her a rose and for the baby, she brought a blanket her grandma made. That was really nice of her. Jennifer and Sue were enemies from 9th grade until Sue was pregnant. I’m glad Jennifer was nicer.
I visited Grandma Gonyo. I talked a lot about things in this world. We had cake and hot cocoa. I got caught up on our soap opera the “Young and the Restless”. I had a great visit.
Matthew came over. We had popcorn and Barq’s rootbeer. I watched Tim Allen on “Home Improvement.”
Sue Arnouts had her baby today. Ashley was born at 6:30 a.m. Ashley was 6 lbs. 9 oz and 19 inches long. Sue got to the hospital at 5 a.m. She started having contractions around 2-2:30 a.m. She even went to school yesterday and played Nintendo while having contractions.
During Spanish 3, Mrs. Potter let Matt Johnson and I visited Sue at the hospital. She was in room 215 at Hackley Hospital. Her little girl was precious. Right now, she had blue eyes and dark hair.
I got to hold Ashley. Sue seemed to be doing fine.
Sue said childbirth wasn't that bad, but don’t get me wrong, there was a lot of pain. She had to be stitched up.
I went back to school. After school, I came back to the hospital. I got to hold Ashley. She was so little. She said you start your period as soon as you have the baby.
I visited Sue from 3-8:30 p.m. Chris Labelle came to the hospital. He seemed so proud.
When Matt Johnson came and held Ashley, Chris seemed to get real jealous.
Other visitors were Jennifer Krbez, Molly Piersema, Meghan Piersema, Nathan Wright, Ann Tyler and her mom.
Sue told everyone that I have been real supportive through all of this. I was so happy.
I got my hair colored. Also, I went to a movie called “This Poor Boy.” I went to Earth Day, but it was boring to me. Chris Labelle, Paul Vandusen, and Nick Silvis played in their band. I didn’t like it at all. I liked watching Mike Council and Jason Gibner dancing weird to it.
I wrote on my Earth Day story. I had to go to the play again. Tim Miedona, Julie Bailey, Eric Anderson, John DeWeerd, Mrs. Potter, Julie Courim, and Janna Wilson were some of the people who came.
Sue helped pass out programs and take count of the people at the play. She seemed quite happy to get out and help. She said I would be real good with kids because I actually played with them and they liked that.
I told her I liked kids because they weren't afraid to do things wrong.
During intermission, Sarah Groh and Julie Courim came to talk to us. Sarah was so excited for Sue. Sarah said that Tania Smith had gained 34 pounds and looked like she had three chins. Tania will name her boy Denton or her girl, Courtney Marie. Sarah said she couldn't wait to have kids. She went in the baby stores to look at the clothes. Chris Papp kept staring our way.
Sue said she really liked the play. After the play, we went on stage to congratulate everyone.
There was no school today as the teachers had a meeting. Kara and I drove up to Mount Pleasant to see Wendy Gonyo. Wendy introduced us to her friends, Sarah and Dawn and to her boyfriend, Sean.
Wendy drove my car to the police station to get a permit to park. We had lunch at Subway. Wendy took us to the bookstore and for ice cream. We also went to an Earth Day celebration.
We went back to Wendy’s dorm. Sean was there. A big bug on the floor scared him.
We watched “General Hospital”. We left at 3:30 because I had to get back to the play.
On our trip, Kara and I talked a lot. Kara said it was dumb to drink to get drunk. She said in Russia if you got drunk, you would get no respect. They don’t respect you when you do that.
Wendy showed us all of the fraternity parties she had attended.
At 7 p.m., I went to South Shores to help out with the crowds for the play, “The Foreigner”. That play was very funny.
Today was a gorgeous day outside. Matthew called and he came over after I watched “Young and the Restless”. We had a Barq’s rootbeer and belched. I called Sue Arnouts to show how loud the belches could be. Yes, I am a kid at heart.
Mathew and I played hopscotch. Paul Patterson delivered the Examiners. We walked with him the rest of Lawnel and then Columbus streets. We found 3 cans in the bushes at Mr. Crabb’s house. Paul pushed me in the bush as I was trying to get them out. Boy, did I run after him! Paul was going to Tennessee for 4 days.
I ran home and Matthew and I had pizza. Matthew came with my mom and me to AAA for an open house. Boy, was that boring. I washed both cars.
Kim Zimmer and her son, Nathan, came over out of the clear blue sky. Nathan was a little hound. He just started fighting with Matthew for no reason. He even slammed Matthew right up against the wall. I told Nathan off. He just talked back. He pounded on our side door. Kim didn't even care.
Anyhow, Mom and Kim were discussing catering for my open house. Matthew and I watched “Home Improvement”.
At 9:30, I wrote my Student of the Month story. It came to about 600 words. I did my egg drop but it didn’t work and made the biggest splat. Everyone got a kick out of mine.
