The Rest of Summer

     August, compared to the rest of the summer, has been pretty low-key. We have only a couple other events going on, such as a sleepover that I'm going to tonight, Back-to-School Bash at Jeff tonight, Open House on Monday, Freshman Orientation sometime, school starting on the 23rd, my birthday part on the 26th, and my 11th birthday on the 27th. Oh, and A LOT of cheer practice. Also, Soccer is starting back up next Thursday, and I am so exited! I'll have the same coach I did last year, so that makes me extra-exited.

On August first, my mom had surgery on her Achillies Tendon. She had Tendinosis, which basically means instead of her Achillies Tenson being inflamed (which would be Tendonitis), the tendon was actually damaged. She won't be able to put pressure on her left foot until the 23rd I believe, and then she'll be in a boot. If you're wondering how she's getting along with only being able to put pressure on her right foot, she has both a scooter and crutches. She can still drive, because she uses her right foot ti drive.

On Sunday, we made homemade pizzas with our leftover Pesto sauce on it. We had one chicken and tomato and one sausage and tomato (my favorite), they both had mozzarella cheese, and they were so good!

And on Tuesday we went and picked corn. When we got to my grandma's house to cook the corn, freeze, basically prepare it, I started silking, but then grandma called me in to be the "ice girl," and what I did was after Papa cooked them, I put them in ice water, then once they were cold, I would bring them to my mom to cut off the cob. I also would put them in the freezer with my grandma after she put the cut-up corn in a bag three times.

(You may have noticed that I have somethings tucked behind my ears. My mom actually cut my hair and gave me curtain bangs)
