Missionaries and their children understand completely what I am talking about.
It is the feeling that you get after you have been on an airplane for a long period of time. Such as, five hours, seven hours, or in our case, (Paraguay), twelve hours with layovers.
It is the feeling that you get when you long to lay down in a bed and sleep for days. When you wish you could sleep like the little babies you see in the airport, so peacefully.
When you get off the plane, and so many feelings and questions hit you like a gust of hot air getting out of an air- conditioned vehicle. Believe me, I know...
Mostly, these emotions are:
I'm so tired
Where am I again
Are we there yet
Can we stop
or my personal favorite:
I AM SO DONE.
Time zones are either behind or ahead but to you they are messed up, and seem to float around in your head.
You are clearly done.
It's when you are allowed to stop and rest and you spend it writing hate notes to the airplane, and wishing you never have to see it again.
When you wonder, why is it people find this exciting? What kind of person wishes they could fly around the world like this?
And it's the feeling when you appreciate your bed when you reach your destination.
Know what I mean?
I found a funny video, someone with talent who knows how to speed up videos and make it sounds as though chipmunks are talking! HAHA. And I'm bored so here it is:
ENJOY!
I cannot wait for camp, and even more so because it is now A WEEK EARLY..This monday! We are going to Georgia!
As you probably know, because my mom posted about it, we have Cherokee blood...I have a Cherokee nose, it's long and the bottom is wide...Here is a picture of me, so you can see:.
My eyes slant, too...That's a big thing to distinguish Cherokees and Cherokee decent. I think I'm about 1/16th Cherokee...Check out my mom's blog in order to see our research and my great great grandmother, Nycetye.
How are you? It's very hot today, and I'm super duper excited, because tonight I am spending the night with my awesome friend, and they have an 8-week-old retriever puppy...YAY! I cannot wait, because as most of you know, I am an extreme animal-lover!
Nothing much else going on...Disney World was wonderful, left all sorts of tracts all over the place there...So much fun!
Can you believe that The Simple Scholar got rid of his adorable cute kitten named Charlie? I loved that little cat...! But, it's probably best that he is given away, because the Simple Scholar was always away, and couldn't take care of the poor little guy...:) I just hope he has a better home now.
And now I gotta go get ready, because I am not fully packed, and my friend's mom is coming to pick me up at about 6:30ish and it is 5:30 now...See Ya!
God Bless!
Thanks for reading!
Jewel is packing! All of her stuff in our room is going to be cleared out! No more neatness! HHAHAHAHAHHAHA! I can be messy...O.k, maybe I won't...I'll try to stay neat even when she is gone! The room will be empty pretty much...And it will be all dark and spooky at night, and, I'll admit, I will miss the times when she grabs my feet after I turn off the light and am climbing onto my top bunk... Then she rolls over and falls asleep..>She is awesome. Hehe!
I'm not super uber happy that she is leaving, but I'll see her soon so I am fine.
I need to get used to being alone and having my own room anyways, because in Paraguay that is what it will be like. So, yes.
ALSO,
I have a piggy-bank, well, more like a potty-bank, because my bank is a redneck outhouse..Hehe! I bought it in Georgia, and I love it! It's just like the one we had in the jungle!
Anyways, what I am working on is getting rid of all this change that is filling the plastic toilet inside it. And replacing it with dollars instead of pennies, nickels, quarters and dimes and blegh!...I'm sick of it! And, I am told that you can do that in grocery-stores and at the bank, and I am determined! Maybe I can even pass out MORE tracts...hehehehehehehe!
Bye!
