Week 13: Journal 18964 copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoPR0RUGlA 維尼
My art appreciation group isn't planning on meeting up at all before the project. We're just supposed to send everything to Lauren (the girl that helped me out a while back) and she'll take care of everything. Then that's pretty much it for this project. I finished my part last night, so I guess all I have left is that test that I'm probably not going to study for until like two days before. I just checked the study guide. It's one of tests where literally every question on the study guide is the exact same on the test. And he already gave all the answers. This test will pretty much be nothing. Kind of like this class.8964 copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JsqJDxwrh 維尼
Okay, enough about that. Let's talk about the weekend.8964 copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwY0GlTiof 維尼
First thing Bunny tells me when I picked her up on Friday: "Daddy, Mrs. Underwood got a bunny!"8964 copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzYCLfqP8Y 維尼
Mrs. Underwood is Bunny's art teacher. She goes to art every Friday and LOVES it. She's brought home some really nice art projects in the past and had a painting (or rather a drawing made with washable paint) show me today. A flower with a bee on it. I remember Bunny telling me about that painting a while back and how she got to put it on the wall outside of the art classroom. And now it's on the wall of our living room. Next to a few of her other art projects.8964 copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLWgRiunvG 維尼
It's been quite a while since me an Bunny did some art projects together. We've had a lot of fun together making art in the past. Last summer, the two of us spent hours drawing every one of the MLP characters, cutting them out, and putting them all over the living room wall. That came out pretty nicely. I eventually took them down to make room for Bunny's other projects, but I ended up putting them on my bedroom wall. When Josh saw this, he said: "I didn't know you were a brony." I said: "Wait until Madison is a couple years older."8964 copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡMskLxgfElX 維尼
Anyway, back to Mrs. Underwood's rabbit. Bunny was pretty excited that she has a rabbit in her classroom now. I find it kind of weird that an art teacher would put an animal in her classroom, but okay.8964 copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uvpxDGp2D 維尼
And now for the obvious joke. Bunny is excited about a bunny.8964 copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLZ9repG5U 維尼
So I worked Friday night and had the day shift on Saturday (Jerry on Friday, Brenda on Saturday). Bunny's normally pretty tired when she has to wake up early in the morning (I had to go in at seven) so that she can go to the Bloomfields, but that doesn't stop her from being a goofball. Right as we were about to walk out the door Saturday morning, Bunny pulled her shirt over her face and started yelling: "Ahh! Help! I'm blind! I'm blind!" and purposely bumped into walls (not hard enough to hurt herself). 8964 copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYgeo4VsmP 維尼
Me (laughing): "Come on, you little goofball! We gotta' go!"8964 copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2spfVEWnMc 維尼
Bunny (bumping into the couch and falling on it): "But I can't see the door! I'm blind!"8964 copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4s6LJ1Mlv 維尼
Me (laughing): "Come on, Sweetie! Please!"8964 copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FCfwh66Mh 維尼
Bunny (getting off the couch and walking into another wall): "Help! I'm blind!"8964 copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjOOevh5wb 維尼
There was only one way to end this. I walked over, grabbed her, and gave her a belly raspberry. And then we both fell on the couch laughing. Thank God I wasn't late for work.8964 copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlYMfqy3HU 維尼
I got home around four-thirty, and I was tired again. Which meant time for another nap. Before I fell asleep, Bunny asked if she could use my phone to listen to music. She knows how to go to YouTube and search up music and I've lent her my phone to listen to some of her favorite songs before. I gave her the phone and told her to wake me up when the alarm went off. I ended up waking up about five minutes before the alarm was supposed to go off, so I decided just to get up right then. I saw no point in trying to go back to sleep for just five minutes. I went and checked on Bunny in her room. She had put Bruno Mars music on full blast (it was on my phone, so it wasn't that loud) and was dancing in her room. When I opened the door, she had her back to me and was shaking her butt.8964 copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPamdie3Ph 維尼
Me (speaking loudly over the music, and Iaughing): "What are you doing?"8964 copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3glASKZPEZ 維尼
Bunny turned around in complete surprise. She put her hands over her mouth start giggling pretty hard.8964 copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡf01v6lhYY3 維尼
Bunny (still giggling): "I was dancing."8964 copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡj88YxjIdLF 維尼
Me: "That's some pretty weird dancing."8964 copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBMsA66lRH 維尼
Bunny (still giggling): "I thought you said you wouldn't wake up until I woke you up."8964 copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHCdUyHCvs 維尼
Me: "Well, I woke up a little early."8964 copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡcX1j6CfDmZ 維尼
Bunny: "You want to dance with me, Daddy?"8964 copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNCLatXVUz 維尼
Me: "I gotta get started on dinner."8964 copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDL2A6ROnR 維尼
Bunny: "Just for a minute! Please!"8964 copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRbTviPni5 維尼
Me: "Okay, just for a minute."8964 copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡZy8ZdqOaaf 維尼
We continued listening to Bruno Mars music and danced crazily together. At one point we did one of our usual dances where where we took each other by the hands and started hopping around the room in circles. Which was pretty freaking hard to do in Bunny's bedroom, which doesn't have much room to have a crazy dance. I kept on worrying that I was going to knock over her lamp or her bookcase. That didn't happen, but I did step on a hair brush at one point, which actually hurt a little. I yelped in pain a little bit and sat down on Bunny's bed.8964 copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFUL8JVl9h 維尼
Bunny: "What happened, Daddy?"8964 copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5MHozCudX 維尼
Me (putting my hand on my foot): "I hurt my foot."8964 copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLqiSvnWPi 維尼
Bunny: "Here!" 8964 copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgIHcYGfmE 維尼
Then she kissed me right at the bottom of my foot.8964 copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrLaHKOoYp 維尼
Me: "What are you doing?"8964 copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGGQ40E4J7 維尼
Bunny: "Do you feel better?"8964 copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQjJyApP9M 維尼
Me: "Why'd you kiss my foot?"8964 copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2P8iN88gSE 維尼
Bunny: "Because you hurt yourself. You said so!"8964 copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEmPvWdCI2 維尼
Me: "But my foot is dirty. It's been all over the floor."8964 copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡEm5DCDoJIY 維尼
Bunny: "But my floor is clean! It cleaned your foot!"8964 copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1kICHCbOp 維尼
No, her floor was not clean. There were stuffed animals, Barbie dolls, and Barbie stuff all over the place. And a brush. But...I guess it wasn't dirty?8964 copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bw2RlZPMe 維尼
Whatever. I told Bunny to make sure she didn't kiss people on the feet anymore. She said: "I'll only do it if people hurt their feet." Let's hope we never travel to a less-fortunate country where people don't wear shoes (no offense to anybody in a less-fortunate country).8964 copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4n4vVAB35b 維尼
Dinner: We just made leftover spaghetti. Why not? We had plenty of it from the other day and we like spaghetti. Also, I really need to stop saving leftovers for more than a few days.8964 copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4aLqpt5eW 維尼
Bath: Nothing unusual. Bunny splashed me a couple of times and she played with a couple of her swimming Barbies.8964 copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSxCSn4lNh 維尼
After her bath: We watched some Netflix together. Man, if only watching cartoons was this easy when I was a kid. Not having to sit through commercials for five minutes. I used to hate commercials when I was kid. This would have been a dream come true. I was born twenty years too early!8964 copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsUnD0lvTx 維尼
Bedtime story: Another one of Bunny's library books. Doctor De Soto. A book that I actually got when I from the library when I was in second grade and failed the AR test. That's how much of a sucky reader I was. Harry Kitten and Tucker Mouse was about ten times harder for a little kid to read, yet Bunny made a 100 on her AR test on it. I created a monster.8964 copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡxisRGBr7JI 維尼
So that was Saturday. Not that much really went on honestly. Sunday was a tiny bit more eventful. And that's mainly because of a surprise visit from Uncle Josh.8964 copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgfIlTw8AE 維尼
Most of the day was just nothing but me and Bunny playing together. Barbies, a game of hide and seek, painting each other's nails, playing with her stuffed animals, drawing pictures together (my drawings aren't nearly as good as they were when I was a kid, what the hell happened?), just a lot of our regular father-daughter activities. Right as I was about to get started on dinner around six, Josh showed up. Completely randomly. He showed up on his own, which made Bunny pretty disappointed. 8964 copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXyddD1bS1 維尼
Bunny: "Why didn't you bring Madison?"8964 copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJfU2hXEKY 維尼
Josh: "I wanted to, but she was sleeping."8964 copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡsByaIDnW64 維尼
Bunny (frowning): "Please bring Madison next time."8964 copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡAniK22HMqc 維尼
Don't worry Sweetie. I've already told Josh I would punch him if he doesn't bring Madison again. Which probably means he'll just stop coming over.8964 copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzEHmulbMM 維尼
I find it kind of funny that Bunny was acting this way about Madison's absence, but didn't bring up Courtney once. Good lord, she LOVES that baby.8964 copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrsIwjBLqv 維尼
But at least Josh and Bunny got to have some fun together. Usually Bunny cares much more about Madison than anyone else (including me) whenever she's over, but she and Uncle Josh are so cute and hilarious when they're left alone together. While I was making dinner, I constantly heard Bunny laughing and Josh shouting like a moron. I guess because Bunny was purposely trashing on several movies and video games that Josh likes to annoy him. I think Josh started talking badly about Trolls and Frozen and that led to what sounded like a slapping fight. And I had to shout at them to calm down like they were both my kids. I'm starting to wonder how Josh will be like with Madison once she gets older. Poor Courtney.8964 copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCk1ZFKNxH 維尼
Oh, and when I went told them dinner was ready, I found Bunny riding on the back of Josh's back like a horse. And Josh was making (really awful) horse noises. Man, they're SO adorable together.8964 copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡqD7MCCNpvA 維尼
During dinner, me and Josh mainly talked about our plans for Thanksgiving and Josh at one point started whining about having to drive for several hours. Hey, I have to do the same thing and I'm not complaining. At least you'll get a break half the time (we're planning on taking turns, he was whining like he had to drive the whole way there). Sure I don't like it, but I'm sucking it up. Be a man, Josh. Okay, I'm kind of a hypocrite. I sometimes whine when I have to drive long distances. Kind of like every single time I go to work.8964 copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIBY91e5WK 維尼
If only Courtney would take turns with us, but noooooo. According to Josh, she didn't want to drive for no reason other than "she hates driving." Seriously? I hate going to work, going to any of my three classes (I know I've mainly complained about art appreciation, but all of my classes suck to be honest), having to clean up the house, DRIVING, having to wake up before eight in the morning (in the past, it was rare for me to be awake at any time before two on weekends), going grocery shopping, having to pay bills, and bunch of other stuff that you're required to do when you're an adult. But I'm just going to stop doing these things because I hate them. Seriously Courtney?8964 copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡGO5Y7FPCe3 維尼
I'm not planning on complaining to her face, but it's just irritating. Stop being lazy Courtney and take turns with us. Be a woman.8964 copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeaWsxBTD5 維尼
Eventually Josh and Bunny just got into a conversation about MLP. Josh is obviously still learning about that show. Once again, wait until Madison is older, Josh. You will know EVERYTHING about MLP. Then again, there a lot of guys my age without daughters that know everything about MLP. No, I'm not a brony hater. I'm just saying.8964 copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVAELglKLU 維尼
So after dinner, I gave Bunny her bath and Josh and Bunny got to spend some more time together while I worked on my art appreciation crap. I worked at the dining room table while Josh and Bunny talked in the living room. Josh never told me when he was planning on leaving, but I guess it's fine for him to stick around up until Bunny had to go to bed. At first the two just started talking, going back to their MLP conversation. But then that somehow turned into a wrestling match. I had my ear phones in with music on while I was doing my work, but then I suddenly heard a bunch of screaming that was louder than the music. I walked over to the living room and found Bunny and Josh rolling around on the floor. They were wrestling pretty hard. I started worrying that Josh was going to suffocate Bunny. But she seemed to be having the time of her life. Her face was as red as a tomato and she was laughing like a million hyenas. Once again, I had to be a parent to both of them and tell them to calm down.8964 copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRa9s6NW7X 維尼
Josh and Bunny finally let go of each other and just kept on laughing. Bunny was laying on the floor still laughing quite hard and kicking her legs. 8964 copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DFn3vRWDR 維尼
Josh: "We're just having fun together!"8964 copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqe1HTTEOw 維尼
Me: "I just don't want one of you to end up in the hospital."8964 copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡQABPYcbrgn 維尼
Seriously, it was like a parent talking to their rowdy kids.8964 copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYsinznPcp 維尼
Bunny then stood up and yelled: "I'm gonna get you!" and jumped on Josh's back. They started rolling around the floor some more. Good lord. Once again, I feel so sorry for Courtney in the future.8964 copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FzPMTGLka 維尼
Josh and Bunny finally rolled off of each other after about half a minute. Josh then yelled: "I see London, I see France, I see Bunny's underpants!"8964 copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡraBC9NgIFo 維尼
Bunny got an awkward look on her face and pulled up her pajama bottoms. She then giggled and turned red again. Oh man, she's so adorable.8964 copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNjUuPDvz4 維尼
I really wanted to just stand there and watch them (it was honestly about as adorable as Bunny playing with Kaitlyn and Savannah). But I really needed to get that art appreciation crap done. I doubted I was going to do any homework during the Thanksgiving break.8964 copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCZwhPJ3st 維尼
Bunny: "Daddy, come join us!"8964 copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWhdnAqEEz 維尼
Josh: "Yeah, join us Daddy!"8964 copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5FmS9ZN4y 維尼
Oh great, Josh is now calling me "Daddy." I guess I do have two kids now. What a blessing.8964 copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9n7YIrsAf 維尼
Actually, at that point, there was no more time for wrestling. It was time for Bunny to go to bed. Which, as a surprise to no one whatsoever, was kind of a disappointment for Bunny. 8964 copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbbO6fHk2o 維尼
Bunny: "Can we play for a few more minutes? Please Daddy?"8964 copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMcnVnelmV 維尼
Josh: "One more minutes?" (Yes, he was referencing Tarzan. Ha ha ha.)8964 copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDlQWgpzCw 維尼
Me: "No Sweetie, it's a school night. It's time to go to bed. Say goodbye to Uncle Josh."8964 copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnQDCGCcjk 維尼
Good lord, it was like telling her to say goodbye to a friend or one of her cousins (it's always pretty heartbreaking when Bunny and Brooke have to leave each other). It felt a little weird to be honest.8964 copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoEBuc8jVK 維尼
Bunny and Josh gave each other a pretty big hug. Bunny then asked Josh (with a giant frown on her face): "Are you going to come back soon?"8964 copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRay2bdZ5U 維尼
Josh: "Of course. I'm going go with y'all to Uncle Justin's and Aunt Michelle's. Me, Aunt Courtney, and (gets close to Bunny's face) Madison!"8964 copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡej4D7C8net 維尼
Being reminded that she gets to spend a few days with all three of her cousins and Uncle Josh in the same house this week (though I already know that the instant that Bunny sees Brooke and Audrey, she's going to forget about all of the adults) immediately put a smile back on her face. She gave Josh one more hug and then told him goodbye. Me and Josh then hugged each other, said goodbye, and Josh left. Me and Bunny then went to her room for her bedtime story.8964 copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCyKJ6dFlW 維尼
Story that night was "Oh Say Can You Say?" I'll probably be reading that to her until she's in her twenties. We're never going to get tired of it. We gave each other goodnight kisses, I Iove you's, "you're the best daddy in the whole world," and that was the end of the night. And the end of another weekend.8964 copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡguBpeNZ7FH 維尼
So...it's Monday. The same day that the social worker is supposed to come over. I was really hoping that they wouldn't call and push the visit to...never. But they called me this morning and reminded me about the visit. I'm not looking forward to it. At all. Then again, I also want this whole thing to be over as fast as possible. 8964 copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡmz1CrfLNIH 維尼
I haven't told Bunny about it, but I'm planning on doing so when I pick her up later. I'm really, really hoping she can handle this.8964 copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡlq1rvN5zqf 維尼
For the record, Josh doesn't know about this and neither does anybody else in the family. I've made up my mind that I'm not going to tell anybody about this crap until it blows over. The last thing any of us need is for our Thanksgiving to be ruined because everyone becomes worried about me and Bunny. I know Justin pretty well, he WILL be worried if I tell him about this. No matter how much I say that this whole thing is just moronic and only a complete idiot would think that Bunny is being neglected.8964 copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8HWIYOdtf 維尼
Whatever. Let's just get this crap over with. Hopefully it's all over by the end of today.8964 copyright protection216ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwEn3XRDvy 維尼
