It is getting colder. Must be winter

I woke up this morning to the Radio in our house and immediately wished I had stayed asleep. My toes were numb. When I felt my toes to make sure they were still there I found to my great surprise that my toes were as cold as ice. Unfortunately our wood pellet stove was still empty of wood pellets so there was only one way to warm up. And that was to huddle under the blankets and think happy warm thoughts. Which I did. My dad needed my help though so I, grudgingly at first but more happy as time went, got up and helped him with breakfast. We ate breakfast and went on our way to Seminary for us guys and to work for my mom. After Seminary my dad and I went up to the White Mountain NPC Campus in Show Low for my Math 109 class. After my class we (my dad and I) went to the Silver Creek NPC Campus in Snowflake for his tutoring appointment. He was not the one that needed help. On the contrary he was helping a lady named Sue with her math. I am proud to say that when it comes to Math my dad can do anything. He is THE MATH-MAGICIAN. If he can't do it, not many people can. After that we went home because it was already four o'clock. When we got home we got dinner ready and ate. Then my dad told me to do the dishes. I got the dishes ready and I found a little yogurt cup full of water on the countertop. I got ready to drink the water when I saw some disturbance in the water. I looked closer and saw that my brother had put his dentures…I mean his retainers in the yogurt cup of water that I had been about to drink. Because his retainers are clear, I did not see them at first. I set the cup down faster than as if it was on fire. Being the smart mouth I am (and a lot calmer than I had been before) I yelled at my brother “Andrew, you are not an old lady!!” My mom who was in the kitchen with me started cracking up. I got my brother and he took care of them but I could not seem to remember that they are called retainers. So I kept calling them Andrew’s Dentures. It was really funny. And just imagine what would have happened if I had not noticed the disturbance in the water. UHGG!!!

Background

My life is very interesting. I try and juggle High School (over the internet), College courses, being a Mormon(not a very good one at that), Seminary, and a social life. I will admit I am not the best goody-good Mormon. People say I have a huge imagination and good writing skills. However, I feel like people don't understand me sometimes. Sometimes I get into trouble for what I write. People don't realize that when I write I express myself. Numerous times I have made my parents mad over what I write. I just keep myself at least a little sane. I consider myself a little mentally retarded. But at the same time in the same breath I also consider myself a genius. My friends don't like it when I call myself a Mentally Retarded Genius. They only focus on the negatives. When I call myself a Metally Retarded Genius I focus on the Genius part. Or if you look at it in the right light The Mentallly Retarded cancels out the Genius part or the Genius part balances the Mentally Retarded part. People just dont understand that. Oh well.
