Aunty Em That's Me

Everyone should have an anuty Em. I love being an aunt and I'm thinking I don't particularly want any kidlets myself. The way I see it I have 7 nieces and nephews that I can baby sit, spoil, buy loud obnoxious toys for (despite my sister's please not to), and give them back when they are sick or being horrible.

Plus there are giant bonus to being an aunt, the kids love you! Bryan my mini male me (adorable little redheaded nephew) washed the dishes when I made him dinner. When I told him how sweet he was he said, "Shh don't tell mom I washed the dishes, I never do that for her or dad." He's only 8 years old!

Little Robby my 4 year old nephew threw a fit when his brother got to ride with me instead of him one day and told my sis he liked me better. Now I know that's not true that he loves his mommy but the novelty of being aunt Em never wears off. My fravorite quote from him is "Aunty Em your my favorite" "Your favorite what Robby" "My favorite everything I'm pretty sure". You just can't get any cuter than that.

Plus when I baby sit they are angels for me, and we turn music up loud and dance for hours!

I have all the benefits and none of the draw backs...

I got to hang with my Ginger today! (he has really dark freckles over his nose and no where else just like I did when I was his age I heart him)

How to really Freak you're dad out

I've never had heat strokes before in my life but I guess today is as good as any you know no epic plans or anything like that. In fact it's been a boring day other than you know horrible pain, my sometimes dark red lips turning white, and almost passing out on my dad. All this on top of fuzzy vision and and shaky legs and arms.

Sadly Frodo may be to blame (the angle in horse form) who was screaming his blood head off the whole time I was trying to ride Destiny (not sure what she is yet in horse form). I'm not sure you (whom ever you are) know this but horses tend to not like water.

Horse (mentally) : "you want me to what?"
Me: "cross the water"
Horse (mentally) : "I thought you liked me but now you want me to get eaten"
Me: "it's maybe 2 inches deep"
Horse (mentally) : "holly crap no way in hell, I didn't know it was THAT DEEP!"

And if it's an arabian (what Destiny is) it will usually go like this after a while they get better but yeah first timers don't take it to well. So pretty much Destiny didn't want to get eaten by a creek cause you water can do that. So I get off and stand in the middle of it (like look at me I'm not getting eaten!).

Destiny (mentally): "oh shoot it's gotten her! And I was starting to really like her!"
*Frodo screams his head off form about a half mile away*

That's when she rips the reins out of my hand and runs up a very long very steep hill, and I run up a very long very steep hill after her. When I saw she was okay at the coral I went to my dad and freaked him out.

Now this isn't the first time or the last time I've freaked my dad out, I seem to have a real talent for such things. Like the time I drove a mini 8th scale train off of a ramp and pined myself in between it and the lift and ended up with massive bruises on my hips when I was about 9. Or on my 3rd horse show ever when I was 11 and I was so excited about getting my horse to run I for got to stop her and she stopped at the fence and I hit the fence so hard my helmet hit the mental and made a loud cracking noise (I may have scared every one at the show on that day). Oh Oh! One last one before we get back to the story. Just this last valentine's day my reins broke at a show and I went over a fence bruised all my ribs stretched the cartilage in my sternum and got carted off in an ambulance (I know I freaked everyone at the show that day, and got a lot of "haha you can fly emmy!" at the next show). Oh and that was the second show in a row I'd been to the hospital.

So back to the story when I got into his shop I got a drink and the next thing I know the worst headache in the world hit me hard. Also I thought I'd gotten something on my glasses but my vision was just messing up and then I turned to my dad and my legs had gone jello. Dad got me to sit down and next thing I know I'm listing to the side and he's keeping me awake. (scary stuff right?) After about 20 minutes I kinda felt better, and realized I hadn't eaten anything that day.

I was sent to the house with instructions to eat ice cream... and I did.

I'm feeling better have still a headache and don't want to leave the couch, but your Ginger will be okay

What you call THIS orange juice !?

Last night we had a family dinner at my house. This is fine since I tend to love my family but it's quite a big deal if we get the whole Stewart clan together. So we shortened it to my favorite sister and brother, Hugh and Sarah. You might find this horrible that I have favorites but I have 7 siblings and lets face it I don't have to like all of them, love them yes.

So any way I cleaned the whole house in prep for my nagging yet favorite sis, and the cutest darn nephews on the face of the planet. FACT NOT OPEN FOR DEBATE THEY ARE THE CUTEST LOL.

The problem here? She brought Orange Juice which I could live off, in theory. But I bought some the day before. So today a day later I go to the ice box and fine orange juice with out looking! oh no's! I... take a swig... and fine it's no pulp! what is the deal is with that?

It was so deceiving! Same maker and everything! Simply Orange is the best orange juice maker out there.... and if I wasn't lazy I'd use my juicer but I am lazy so I don't.

That's like.... decaf Tea, I don't drink coffee. It's like Sunny Delight! Which my family calls Sunny D, I had to google that cause well let's face it, it's not a delight! It's sugar infused orange water and that my friends is sad.

To top it off we have like 1% milk cause I'm lactose and she brought that vitamin D milk... I was careful and checked before I drank that, thank goodness!
