Today was a "wonderful" day, it was as non-normal as any day can get here in Fresno.
I woke up late.
Was loaded with questions from a happy, already up, and cheery mother (i answered all questions in short kind (snippy) answers)
And went out the door with most of my homework finished.
The walk is 15-20min and of all days it was very, very, dreadfully cold. :( (about -29 degrees) May I tell you my hands, nose, and ears will never be the same again. It pained me to see my acquaintances/peers driving by in a nice warm car, all fine and dandy.
I managed to get to school but was not at all in the mood to talk, smile, or be a "Jesus Shiner". The day went on as usual. Surprisingly in this semi-mental emotional day I did have a high, because of a Doctors note I am unable to run for 3 days....meaning no Track today. :)
So after school I waited for my mom to pick me up. My hopes were crushed when after waiting 1min (with all the patience I had at the time) and no sign of my mommy dear I had to embark on a sad, sad quest for home all by my lonesome. Yes I had to walk again. But this time in the hot sun. (somehow the weather can turn from pure Antarctica to Death Valley. how God does it idk)
Arriving to my destination(home) I came in with a semi-happy expression which was quickly interrupted by an arrow plunging through my heart. There walking to his bedroom was my loving and generous brother. He was so kind to give me a ride home on his bike...oh wait.....I walked...hmmm....why would Kylen Jabez Downs not give his sister a ride? Oh of course! He had to get home as fast as he could to finish all his homework! (cuz that's what boys his age do) So here I am writing...still grumpy. This whole time/day I have been grumpy. My mom said it was a good idea to write it all out. Yea just so you can laugh at me....Oh how smart she is. I told her it would be a depressing story to tell all you guys....but she made it clear that there was people who are sensitive reading this and they may pity me...so what you have read is a G rated version. (OK i made half of what i just said up...yea. but that's what i was thinking)

Ok Ashlyn I have to admit I was draggin my lip today for no real good reason as well. I hate that we do that but hey thats life right? Thanks for sharing. I'll pray for you tonight that you are blessed tomorrow and that God uses your "realness" to bless someone else. :)
I knew as soon as I saw the title that it was from you! And I loved it! You make me laugh. I'm glad you wrote it. And I have to say, from a teacher's perspective, great writing! Much more entertaining than the date farm! Kidding, Yvonne! Love you!
Ashlyn Blake Downs, you are ADORABLE! I am so glad that you posted to the family blog; what an entertaining entry! I think you should write a book! :-) I love you, from "Auntie" HollyBerry
Sweet Ashlyn, draggin a bit isn't reserved for middle school! I'm dragging being back at work today! Some days are just "whatever!" Tomorrow will be better. Jesus shines through you when you live with aunthenticity and that includes BAD DAYS! You are precious, I love you!
Love you, Aunt Julie
Ashlyn, look at it this way, the school year is almost over. Then you will have a long, much deserved break!!! maybe someday I'll share with you a picture of me when I was a teenager and I certainly was an awkward teen. I thank God I made it through those years. Just out of curiosity, did your father or mother tell you, that you choose to be "Grumpy"??? lol love and miss yea
stay cool
