Child's play is over....

So far this summer...I've had an amazing time. I've spent every waking second with the people I love and I've been doing the things that I love to do. In the past year people have been telling me to save up and work every day I could, but as a 16 year old girl that's not what I wanted to hear or do. I didn't take saving money seriously and I went about having my child's play while others were out working for the things that they wanted the most. Well, in the past week reality hit me. I basically lost my job after Nick and I broke up and I Wasn't getting any hours at all, therefore I needed a new job.(No hours=No money). So, I applied at about 10 places...none have yet to call me back. Now I'm on the line for $600 dollars and if I can't get my act together in time, I'm gonna miss out on something that could benefit my life for years to come. This is not a sob story I'm writing here...its a journal entry getting this off my chest...which helps make me feel better. Since I found out just how hard this "real life" situation can really be, I haven't been up to talking about it. I've been slightly depressed and have been feeling sorry for myself. But that has all changed. I'm now trying to take responsibility for my actions and I am taking life seriously. If my dad doesn't think that I can be responsible enough to get a real job...then I;m proving him wrong......and if he doesn't think I can come up with the $600 dollars by august...then I;m proving him wrong. Because I'm tired of being compared to my sisters and I want people to say to someone else..."Be more like Laura"...not the other way around. I'm starting a neighborhood service and I'm hosting a garage sale next week to start off my savings trip. I've applied for a Walgreen 3 minutes from my house so I can walk there at any time, and I'm applying for 2 other businesses by the end of this week. Since no one seems to think that I can get my licence...I'm calling to set my appointment tomorrow while I have free time from babysitting. I will not be compared to others in a negative way any longer. My child's play is OVER and I WILL get that $600 dollars before August because those college classes are important to me and I will take them.

ON a lighter note...Here is a video of Sofia in her princess outfit.

And here are pictures of her in her outfit. One includes a picture of her sucking on her hand...which she seems to be doing a lot lately.
And here is a video of her little noises.

Krista and I camping out in my yard.
And I would have awesome pictures of a skydivers and hot air balloons but I forgot my camera. Missy and Kameron took me to a hot air balloon festival the other night and we had a blast. And just to all those who read this everyday...Thank you. This is a way I can release any of my stress out and can vent as I type. Thanks for listening.
