"Coming Home"

Dear Diary,

A lot has happened in the last week or so! I mean really, it's just been super crazy.

I moved back home with Mommy! I've been wanting this for so long, and I missed her so much. But she was hurt and in the hospital for a while, and I had to stay with Aunt Carol.. and then she found out she was going to have another baby.. and then she decided to move us to a new town!

YES! I did say it! I have a new baby brother! His name is Tatie, and he's super cute! He can't talk or anything yet, but in the meantime he's good at being cute, and dirtying diapers. He's REALLY good at that. Yuck.

Anyways.. I dunno how it happened, but on the trip to our new home, my clothes got lost! All I had was what was in my backpack and what I was wearing! And I guess Mommy was in a hurry to move us, or something, because a lot of my old things were gone too, and when I got to our new house, the room that was gonna be my room still had books and stuff in it! So I spent a few nights sleeping on the couch.. which is ok cause it's a really soft couch, and there's like a million pillows.

After a couple of days, Mommy took me to the store for some new clothes, and she totally surprised me and we ended up at this HUGE kids furniture store. OMIGOSH it was so big.. and she told me I could pick anything I wanted. I was scared it would cost too much tho. Mommy told me not to worry, and helped me pick this awesome set of furniture. It's SOOOO pink!

Pink pink pink pink pink pink!

So then we came home and set up the bed at least, and I fell asleep. When I woke up, the whole room had changed! Mommy must have come in in the middle of the night and changed everything around. I dunno how I slept through her moving the bed!

Anyways.. Mommy's sisters, Aunti Raewi and Aunti Jo live with us now. I had never met them before. Aunti Jo is super busy with her job and school, so I don't get to see her much, and Aunti Raewi is pretty busy too! But they're both super nice. Aunti Raewi has a dog.. he's this huge black dog.. but he's nice I think. He mostly barks at a wall in the garage though. It's just a normal wall, I'm not sure what his problem is with the wall.

So what happened next.. lemme try an' remember.

IT SNOWED! It snows here! It's so cold outside, and yet it's nice and warm inside. This house is really nice.

It's not all great tho. There's chores that I have to do. Like I have to clean my room, which is normal I guess. but I have to do it EVERY DAY! I also have to clean the bathroom floor upstairs, which is super hard to do. Maybe it will get easier. The other chore I have is to do my own laundry. Which I never did before, but Mommy showed me how to do it, and it's not too hard, it's mostly boring waiting for it. It's so easy to forget to come back and finish it.

The new school is okay I guess. The work is hard tho, and the day drags on for-EVER. But I get school lunches now, which is cool because I can have pizza. Mommy says I might be able to join the girl scouts in this town, if my schoolwork doesn't get in the way.
