The Wrong Date

Sleepwalking during the day? I don't think that's a good thing...

Oh hey there, the name's Aubrey. I'm the oldest child of the Cole Family and it's my birthday today! We're supposed to have a party tonight but I'd rather go to sleep. Being a kid is exhausting sometimes, especially with all the chores, homework and everything else parents make you do. "BUT MOM, I'M SO TIRED!" It didn't matter matter how much I whined. I was going to have this party and it was going to be tonight.

Mom did all the party planning. She sent out the invitations, bought the cake, and even hired entertainment, or so she said. I dunno though. I'm not sure if I should trust Mom to do everything just right. She can be a little insane sometimes. Well, as it turned out, when it was time for the party, no one showed up.

I mean, I know I don't care and everything but not even grandma and grandpa showed up. What could they possibly be doing that's more important that watching their own granddaughter turn into a teenager? Or even Uncle Alex or Uncle Darren? Aunt Jaida and Uncle John? NO ONE?

Oh well, I'm just going to blow out my candles then and go to bed I really don't care.

Daddy says I look just like my mother. I just hope this doesn't mean I'm going to inherit her personality too.

 

I started heading to my room to FINALLY crash. Well, let's just say I didn't get very far.

 

The next day was the first day of high school. It went alright I guess. Met some new friends. I joined the cheerleading squad. I got buttloads of homework. Typical high school. There's a school dance coming up Friday. I wonder who I'm going to ask?

I've noticed the twins carry around these stupid dolls everywhere we go. Anytime they refer to their dolls, they act like they're real. I made the mistake of calling them dolls once, boy did they ever let me have it.

 

Momma is preggars..........VERY preggars.  Daddy has to fuss at her for doing things like playing with the dog, repairing the dishwasher, you know things you SHOULDN'T do when you're about to go into labor any day now. She just ignores him. Yesterday she went to the spa all by herself. I can't imagine what would have happened if she went into labor there.

Daddy's been stressed out over work. He's been coming home grumpy lately. Momma told him he should just take the occasional day off of work but he won't hear it. He says there's too much to do and he's behind on most of his work.

I saw my cousin David at school today and he wanted to know if I wanted to come over and hang out at their house. Aunt Jaida bought our old house when we moved. Stepping back into the house I grew up in was very nostalgic.

I was just about to chill on our old couch when David asked me if I was excited about the party tonight? "What party?" I asked. "You're kidding me right? Isn't it your birthday party tonight?" My eyes grew big. He handed me an invitation and my hand just met forehead. No wonder nobody showed to my party the other night. Momma put the wrong day on the invitation.
(I don't know if this was a glitch in the game or what but for some reason the party I planned for Aubrey happened the following day)

Sure enough, people started showing up to our house that evening. I caught a ride with David back home. Outside our door waiting to go in I saw Uncle Alex and Mercedes Poindexter. Oh no, not Mercedes! Did my Mom actually invite HER?? Grrrr....

Uncle Alex usually doesn't have time to come over and visit. So when Daddy saw him at the party, he got excited. He decided to take a lot of his work aggression out in a friendly pillow fight. I never knew my Dad to act like such a kid.

Look who else showed up! My Daddy doesn't talk a whole lot about Uncle Darren. I think he thinks he's weird. I find him fascinating though. Turns out his wife just had a baby girl, Faye. Daddy says he feels sorry for that baby.

The night was getting late and most everyone was heading home. I realized I still needed to work on my Algebra homework so I told David he had to help me before he left. You know, this my be weird of me to say this but I think David is very cute. But don't worry. I don't think of him that way. He's my cousin after all but he's like a brother to me.

Funny thing, the party was over people were JUST leaving to go home and wouldn't you know it, Momma goes into labor.

 

Grandad was freaking out. Hilarious. It's not like he hasn't had 4 children and 7 grandchildren already.

Well, while Momma and Daddy were at the hospital, I helped out by saying goodbye to the guests and heading on to bed. Little did I know it but when I would wake up that morning, I would be a big sister again......

Meet my new brother and sister, Penny and Perry.
