Little House, mostly

As usual it has been a while since I've blogged and I don't know what to write first.  We went to Disneyland for the last time for a while, but I can't remember much of it now.  I'll remember and post about it later, but this week my life has been seminary and Little House.  I started seminary this year and have reported to church every morning at 5:45 a.m. this week.  It has been quite an adjustment that is still in progress, we're not quite adjusted yet. :) Mom and I have gotten into more fights this week than we have in a long time.  We thought we could just go to bed earlier, but we're thinking we might need to start taking naps.  Before seminary I could never take naps during the day, but now I could basically fall asleep anytime, anywhere.  Everyday I force myself up for seminary, come home, do school and anything I have to do in order for Mom to let me watch Little House, then I watch it as long as I can.  Like I've said before we have been watching it all in order and now we're almost done.  We've finished the last season just this past week and the last three movies.  There's actually a lot of the last season that I haven't seen.  Pretty much all I remember is Jeb saving Jenny (I ought to, he saves her two different times :) and Laura's baby boy dying.  It's actually a pretty good season.  So, we finished Little House yesterday and I have been kind of depressed since.  I was crying all day yesterday and sobbing during the movies.  It made me sad that we don't get to say good bye to James and Cassandra (or Carrie and Grace, but who cares about them?) and Albert dies and (I know, total bad grammar with all of these ands) they blow up the town and Jeb grows up and his and Jenny's romance completely disappear in the last three movies.  In the one where Albert gets cancer all the kids are hiking up a hill and I said, "Don't you think it would be fitting if Jenny twisted her ankle or something and Jeb had to carry her?"  I think it would be a nice way to rekindle the romance a bit.  I was just sobbing in the one about Albert and the last one when they blow up the town.  I was soo sad.  We even watched the one about Albert twice because Mom left and then wanted to watch it again when she came back and I sobbed both times.  I get very enthralled in the movies I watch.  I've cried during Bonanza, Harry Potter and a lot more.  But Little House really made me sad.  It all happened so fast.  We said good bye to Charles, Caroline, Albert and James and welcomed Jenny, Jeb and Jason and then we said good bye to them too after only a week!  I felt so lonely last night.  I was soo sad.  It was bad.  I can't even describe it.  I walked around the house not knowing what to do with myself and cried whenever anyone from Little House was mentioned.  I even put on my Gryffindor scarf to give me some comfort.  I'm wearing it now, too.  So, Little House is over and we probably won't be watching it as much.  Now I'll focus on seminary and school.

By the way, you need to post people!  And comment!  Where did everyone go?  It's like you all disappeared!  Anyway, love you all!

  1. Great post! I have the same reaction at the end of a series. I usually cry and miss them. I cried at the end of Avonlea also. You guys will love them the more you watch them. I need to get you guys the 2nd one!! I'm that way at then end of Harry Potter books also, I miss them. Ahhh Seminary. I loved seminary for what I knew it gave to me. I had terrible teachers generally. But I loved how it prepared me to go to the evil halls of the school. That is one of the reasons I wanted to teach seminary, so the kids could have a good teacher that cared. I believe in seminary. I'm jealous of your interior design class. This part may be a little boring, but the design part should be cool. Well, I love and miss you, and I have to say will miss going to Disneyland with your family!!

  3. look who's talking missy!- you haven't blogged in forever!!! ha. Little house is so amazing, it is by far my favorite series. I'm waiting a little longer for it to be brand new again. I tried recently and I still have every word practically memorized. I may never be able to watch it "fresh and brand new" again, I think I've just seen them too many times to not remember them so well. By far my favorite series. Such amazing characters. You love to hate the olsens, and then somehow- they make you feel bad for them at times, and then just when you do- they make you hate them again. Then there's the Ingalls- so perfect. Such great examples. And then there's laura- good person- but not perfect :) and albert- oh i just love albert, adn i hated it when he became the cocain or meth addict (i can't remember which one?) it made me so sad because that's not the albert I KNOW! - yeah- what the heck- what happened to carrie? couldn't of they put them on there for the last episode? I mean really, what was more important that they couldn't have made it for the last one? OK- seminary- OH MY GOSH- highschool is so hard because life just gets SO BUSY, and you have to get up early for seminary, so you are surviving on so little sleep. I remember always being tired!!! And being so jealous of hte people who could just get by with so little sleep. You're lucky you're homeschooled so you can take a nap! I had to go to school after seminary!!!! till 3 pm! love you!can't wait to see you guys soon! I wish it were sooner and for longer! you should talk your mom into coming sooner!!!!!
