Week 6: Journal 5copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIj7FwMPvn
Another week of journals done. This really is going by a lot faster than I thought. I guess I was just over-exaggerating when I complained about the journals at the beginning of the semester. That doesn't mean I love writing though. No, not even close. Anything where I don't get to write about my Bunny feels like a tedious drag. I was actually reminded about how much I hate writing yesterday after Dr. Bryson gave this assignment where we had to read some passage and write a page about our thoughts on it. I tried reading the passage a little bit last night and I nearly fell asleep. Some short story about some 18th century town, I really don't care. Why can't I just skip English? I mean, I can clearly speak the language. How else would I be writing this? Oh well, at least I have until Tuesday to finish it. I'll probably just knock it out on Sunday after I put Bunny to bed (if they don't make me go to work).copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zeaiDTX3i
Dr. Bryson, since you're going to read this, I just want to make it clear that this is no offense to you in any way. I just don't like reading and writing (unless it's about my daughter). I have nothing against you as a person, I just don't like English. If this is what you like to teach, then more power to you. It's just not for me.copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxKIxr03A0
Anyway, last night went wonderful. Just wonderful. The first night since Sunday with just me and my Bunny and I savored every second of it.copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1I48oBVe6
Bunny was once again a little hyper at the pickup yesterday. After I picked her up and hugged her, she shouted: "Daddy, I'm a puppy!" and barked in my face. Then she shouted: "Now I'm a kitty!" and started meowing in my face. My little Bunny seems to love impersonating animals. I'm surprised she hasn't tried to impersonate a rabbit yet.copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡihFxsYalVd
Then Bunny immediately flipped from goofy mode to sweetie pie mode and gave me a giant kiss on my cheek and then wrapped her arms around me.copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnLp6iQ6lr
Bunny: "Daddy, I love you so much."copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77sPbBeMws
Me (giving her a kiss): "I love you too, Baby."copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOKzlcxwyt
When we got to the car, Bunny had something to show me. A little macaroni picture that she had made in her art class. It was a drawing of a sunshine with a smile. She did such an amazing job.copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcRuCXNs49
Bunny (after showing me the drawing): "Now let's cook it!" copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbgm1sXfft
Me: "No! That's your art! Let's put it on the wall!"copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8irIEEgbc
Bunny: "But it'll taste delicious!"copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUpAp1yctC
Maybe. If you think the taste of glue and paper is delicious. Yum. Of course we didn't eat it. It's now on the wall in the living room.copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnNBJO4G4j
Bunny actually wasn't disappointed that she was finally going home instead of going to Kaitlyn's. As we were walking back to the car, Bunny waved goodbye to Kaitlyn and Savannah and then just wrapped her arms around me again. She didn't once say anything like: "Ahh, I'm not going to Kaitlyn's house?" She just happily hugged me as I carried her back to the car and snuggled with me on the couch as soon as we got back home. After we laid on the couch together for a while, Bunny said to me: "Daddy, let's have a tea party." Yep, Bunny's sweet little heart will never forget how much she loves her daddy. She loves being with her friends, but there will always be a special place in her heart for Daddy. After all, she is married to him.copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLrtca8Rqj
So our tea party lasted for about thirty minutes. It was about the same same as usual, except that apparently I made a new friend. At one point, Bunny put her stuffed monkey against my chest and said: "Daddy, Nanners wants to be your best friend." I just picked up the monkey and said: "Umm...okay Nanners. Let's be friends."copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3adsKDtjPX
Bunny: "Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! (monkey noises) He said your so cool!"copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbkJN3yRKC
Me (rolling my eyes): "Thanks Nanners."copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUnCoAMwrd
So I'm best friends with a stuffed monkey now. Well, at least I have one friend now.copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvn3X8Grrw
Bunny (holding up her stuffed tiger): "Roar! Roar! Roar! (tiger noises) Chewy wants more cookies!"copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡomHI5uLElv
Yep, she just loves impersonating animals.copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwqE8PeVlG
After that was over, Bunny laid down and put her bare feet on my chest. I assumed she wanted to do This Little Piggy, but then she held up one of her big toes and said: "Daddy, this is Bob."copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bbve9DVA4
Me (totally confused): "Umm...hi, Bob."copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYr9HxDtbZ
Bunny (putting "Bob" right on my face): "Bob likes you. He wants to be your friend."copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrwp6EelAA
Me (still totally confused): "Umm...okay."copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ILde0mSWX
So I also became friends with a toe. How do you normally like to spend your night offs?copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnWpxDWa67
Bunny (holding "Bob" up in the air): "Bob wants to go for a jog! He needs exercise!" (Waving toe in circles) "Run Bob run!" (Holds up her other big toe) "Oh look, Bob has a girlfriend! This is Lisa! Lisa and Bob love each other! (She starts hitting her big toes together to make them look like they are "kissing") "Mwa! Mwa! Mwa!"copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5zHvFmK0W
Oh man, she's always finding new ways to make me smile.copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2F6gU7DM3
Bunny (holding up both of her big toes): "Daddy, give Lisa and Bob a kiss!"copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKrx9Ya59h
Well, "Lisa and Bob" didn't seem that dirty. Why not? I kissed her toes.copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡdknN1StnDu
Bunny (smiling and putting her feet on my face): "Now Lisa and Bob want to do This Little Piggy!"copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYxY4NTbqF
Me: "Of course, Baby."copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1qFyzEJFN
So we did This Little Piggy a couple of times on each other and then I suddenly got a call from Justin. I had actually called him yesterday morning and talked to him for a few minutes right after I dropped Bunny off at school. I had told him to call me back so that Bunny and Brooke could have some time to talk to each other on the phone. And that's where the next thirty to forty minutes went. Bunny laid down on the floor waving her feet in the air as she talked to "Brookey" on the phone. I just watched and smiled as Bunny happily chatted on the phone. Man, six year old girls talk about the cutest things.copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0T7oG8gavU
After Bunny and Brooke were finished talking, I told both Brooke and Justin (and Audrey, who wanted to say Hi as well) goodbye and me and Bunny carried on with our fun night. Of course, I had to listen to Bunny telling me everything that she and Brooke talked about even though I was sitting right there. Ah whatever, I didn't really mind. I love listening to my little Bunny talk.copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPSbNWZG8p
Bunny: "I can't wait to see Brookey again."copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmqM2ZmGI2
Me (running my finger through her hair): "We'll see them very soon, Sweetheart. We'll get to see Brookey, Audrey, and Uncle Justin and Aunt Michelle. I promise."copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJVB7CKoMf
Bunny (smiling beautifully): "Thank you, Daddy."copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡir4aDS7Czf
It was already after five by the time Bunny was finished talking to Brooke, so I needed to go ahead and get started on dinner. Bunny wanted more hamburgers for dinner, so that's what we had. I wasn't really in the mood for burgers since I had stuffed myself on burgers earlier for lunch (that Burger King dollar menu is awesome, seriously), but whatever, it was our night together. More burgers for my Bunny.copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WCsJFs5ma
After dinner was over, we spend some time wrestling on the couch together and me spinning Bunny around in the air upside down. At one point when I was holding Bunny upside down, she began laughing really hard and kicking he legs and nearly gored me in the nose. I'm sure it still would have been funny.copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RT3s1Fcps
So after that goofiness, Bunny got in the bath. At one point, Bunny thought it would be funny to fill her mouth with water (thankfully, I hadn't gotten the soap out yet) and squirt me in the face. Twice. And right after I finished washing her hair, she grabbed the cup and dumped water on my head. How can I even complain?copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHTxSwp08Z
And of course, she shook her wet hair around and got me even more wet. Can't have a Bunny bath without that.copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaVTDEy6KV
After Bunny was out of the bath (and after I was finished drying myself off), me and Bunny just sat in the living room talking for a while about the things she was doing in school. Bunny has been doing really well in both math and writing this year. She knows how to add and subtract and can spell some pretty long words for her age. She already knows how to spell the word "consequence." I'm not kidding. When I was in first grade, I thought cat was spelled with a K.copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRMaVfcAsB
For her bedtime story, Bunny actually wanted to read one of her library books rather than one of the books on the shelf. That's a little unusual. I've never mentioned this before, but Bunny can actually read on her own just fine. She normally just reads her library books on her own (usually when I'm at work) and saves the books on her shelf for bedtime stories. But Bunny actually wanted to read one of her library books tonight. And what do you know, it's another book I'm totally familiar with. The True Story Of The Three Little Pigs. A book that me and my brothers all loved when we were kids. And Bunny loved it as well. I seriously need to get my hands on The Stinky Cheese Man. I'm about two hundred percent that Bunny will really, REALLY love that book.copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UjWsctRcC
Before I gave Bunny her goodnight kiss, she put her feet on my face AGAIN and said: "One more This Little Piggy!" and I of course couldn't resist. For the record, I have no problem whatsoever with Bunny doing things like putting her feet on my face or dumping water on me. I don't see it as misbehaving. I just see it as a little girl wanting to have fun with her daddy. And I can never have enough fun with my little Bunny.copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsNMlrqUxa
So we gave each other our goodnight kisses, I tried reading that story and nearly put myself to sleep, so I just spent the rest of the night watching One Piece. Only about fifty more episodes until I finally catch up. (About freaking time)copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡQO2CZXSbyk
So yep, another wonderful night with my Bunny. Sadly, I'm stuck spending tomorrow night working with Ruth (UUUGGGGGGGGHHHHH). And then I have to go back in at one on Saturday. Thankfully, no one has said that I need to come in on Sunday so my Sunday with Bunny is still currently on. I've already checked the schedule for next week and my day-off will be on Tuesday. Awesome! But sadly that means a wider gap in between nights off since I have to do the night shift next Saturday as well. Meaning after Tuesday, I won't get another night with Bunny until Sunday. Man. copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBf6yHi1yu
Just savor the next couple of days. That's all I can really do. That's what I've always done.copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpXrciSCdp
Anyway, after I got home from dropping off Bunny this morning, I was really tempted to watch more One Piece, but I managed to self-discipline myself and I actually managed to get my fifth essay done. Then I spent about thirty mintues on Algebra homework. And then I lost my self-discipline and I spent several hours watching One Piece. When I probably should've been doing something more productive like studying for my test or cleaning the house. I regret my life choices.copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3dPFdNxom
My essay this time was about The Brave Little Toaster. This essay is going entirely by memory since it's been over ten years since I've seen that movie (I'll watch clips of it on YouTube every now and then), but whatever. I still love it. I loved it when I was a kid and I still love it today. I really want to find it online somewhere and show it to Bunny. Though I have a feeling she wouldn't really like it. She might think it's too dark and scary and want to put Frozen on instead. Whatever, I can at least try.copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbY7hwOzyn
Alright, I'll be back on Monday. (Arnold Schwarzenegger voice) I'll be back. copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cM1DYkvBx
