Groundhogs Day

If i could change one day in my life this is what i would change. . .

                If I could change one day in my life at all, I would have to choose the day that we moved into my dad’s fiancés house. I only ever regret saying “yeah, sure, that would be a great idea because I’d be closer to Brittany.” It was in July of 2012, the day of Wednesday the 18. That day was a very long and very hot day for me, especially when in the trailer you’re moving out of don’t have air conditioning and usually runs 10 degrees hotter inside. Anyway, that day had started off pretty well; I was Nikki’s house (my dad’s fiancé) and it was about 10:00am when my dad came through the door and said “we have got to move out, by tonight otherwise we cannot have our stuff.” As it were, I didn’t seem too interested into the matter, and I mean at all. My dad made me get up and go help, by the time I got there; I realized dad had already started packing up his room, which left my bathroom, my sister’s room, and the kitchen (not including the furniture in the living room). So I started off with the back bedrooms, and there were a lot of sweat coming off of my face and I had only been into the house for ten minutes. It really and truly sucked because the water we had wasn’t very cold and it tasted gross. After I got most of my sister’s room packed dad informed me that he would be back because he had to take the truck to the storage building to put things in it. By the time he got back, I had my room packed and most of the living room; I was dying of a thirst, hungry as all get out, and so ready to just relax. Things were not that simple though, because the bottle of water dad had brought me I downed in less than five seconds (or so it seemed). After we got out last box packed it was already 6:30ish and the sun was starting call in all the big nasty bugs, like mosquitoes, and June bugs, it was pretty nasty. By the time we got everything packed and ready to head back to the house, I decided to go through and check the house to make sure I didn’t find anything left behind, which there wasn’t anything. By the time we got back to Nikki’s house, where she has got excellent air conditioning. Whenever I walked into her house all that cold air hit me and I decided to do the wrong thing and sit on the couch and relax, and I started to get the shakes because I got cold way to fast, my muscles started to spaz a little bit, just enough to feel though. I also started to get really tired from the hard days of work and the cold air, but Nikki made it very clear that I was to not go to sleep. I ended up dozing off a little bit, mainly into that half-conscious stage, meaning I was asleep, but not asleep enough to forget what was going on around me. I kept hearing people yell at me telling me to wake up, but I decided better of it and started to drift off more into that deep slumber that I wanted. Right as I was about to fall asleep completely I woke to Brittany shaking me and freaking out along with Nikki because they had thought I had passed out. So all in all it was a very long day. Lol.

                I would want to change this day because it was a very long and stressful day. The day seemed to drag on, by the time the day had got done it felt like we had been there for two days.  It would affect my life today by we wouldn’t be living with Nikki, and we would still probably be living there in that trailer or we would be living with Nikki, but things would be different around me because I didn’t help out. So my dad wouldn’t rely on me as much.

  1. Sounds like a rough day but also sounds like you were a bit anxious about moving in with Nikki and Brittany at the time. I hope things have worked out nicely since the move!
