making a list

I am making a list....of things to make a list for. To me this is every funny because there were so many things I had to make a list for that I couldn't remember them. So I made a list. I am pretty sure that alot of people have done this but not me. So i just fond it funny... Now i am going to go make the other lists.

Reading and spelling

I am going to teach myself how to read and spell on my own time.
The reason why i am doing this is because i am tired of being made fun of for not knowing how to read and i want that to change.

NO MORE

i hate it. that every one tells me that i am not going to amount to anything. that i am stupid and every thing!!!!! i have been hiding my anger for so long. i am pissed that every one is telling me that i cant been anything because i am stupid. every job i every really wanted i cant do. Acting- cant do that because i cant sing or talk right. FBI/doctor- cant spell, not smart. all my life i have been knock down and made fun of because of many reason and I AM SICK OF IT!! well one thing i want to tell every one who tell me i cant do it is " watch out. you say i can't do it, watch and be wrong because i can amount to anything and everything!!"
you people have no idea. you think i am happy and everythings okay well that because i hide it well. but latey so many freaking things have happen. One thing is that i am no longer a christian but i am trying to anwears my questions about that. i feel like no one is there for me (not including my dad) i feel like i am going to grow old and have no one there and that is my worse fear and i have done told all my life that i was going too.

this is a really good song. read it!

Wrong AgainFather I hate to tell you thisYou taught me how to hit the markAnd once again I missed.Touch the fireYou always said that I get burnedWhy is it so hard to remember?All the lessons I have learned.How could you look at me that way?When I have failed so many timesShowing me love you tell the worldThis child is mineHow could you walk that extra mile?I see forgiveness in your smileSo should you reject me?Wrong againOnce againLord I have wondered from a pathThought I knew a better wayFrom a shorter word you've askedStanding hereI don't deserve a second chanceAnd I can't conceal the shame of youThen more I can standWhen I look into your faceAnd see the power of your graceI find it so hard to believeForgiveness that you're showing meI see the answer in your eyesLove and mercy I realizedFinally the truth has set me freeI thought you was goingInstead you're just holyThought you would judgeInstead you just love meSo should you reject me?Wrong again this is a greaat song and what I feel

we got a new car!!!

and it is really nice. I love it and i thank god

we got a new car!!!

and it is really nice. I love it and i thank god

so i was playiny with my dad phone and I fond out you can send picture to your email. i thought it was cool so here some of the pics:

job hunting

I tryed to find a job, but all o fthe places say 16 or older. so I'm going to wait

so there! here a picture for all to see the new me!, but I'll have some more up when i get them from my freind.

it is fear that you turly fear! and what do you pick

why fear it now when it will come instead of fearing what has not happen. spend the time learning how to fight so you can win. the resaon why I say this is because of the fact that they will be a war between god and the devil. some are fear it and don't wont to believe it because they are to scared of what might happen but why why fear it. it is coming there is no change that. so spend your time learning how to fight because if you hide you will lose. What doyou pick the easy way or the right way. the easy way is to go down the wrong path. don't try, give up and go to the wrong side because you don't have to do any thing hard. no one will be trying to kill you in tall the end because if you don't workyou'll will go down the wrong path. it might be easy now but think of the end. what will be the out come?

dkjklxhn

the meaning of the title is how I feel and that is that ><

a job?

so I'm am thinking of getting a job. Maybe I sould tommorow I am going to get a working permate and go looking for a job because I am sick of not having money when some one ask me i i if want to go some where and i have no money or if i want some thing and I no no money. so I want to work at subway. but i have a busy weekness but on the week day I'm not so maybe I will get a job. I'm so tired all the time. my dad said that I have to keep my grades up c and higher, but that a good thing because all of my grades are b's and a's, but I have one c in P.E. :( it because I don't dress out because I forgot to clean my p.e. outfix so that less that a c and easy to get up:).

good AND bad or hell and heaven

so think of the most pretty thing you saw and now think about the wrost think that has ever happen. imange god say that hell and heaven are a 1,000 times wrost or better and for me it is the wrost thing that I seen latey is a jr. hitting a freahman for saying a HI to a girl and that was he girl friend. he made the freashmen CRY it made me so MAD I can't believe how mean the world is. Some of the books I read some of the things I'v seen. God said that the human mind can't understand what would happen to us in hell. It will be 1,000 times wrost them the human mind kind think of. wow! but it also say that heaven will be a 10,000 times better and think of the best think you have ever happen to you and think about the best think you have ever seen and then try to make it 10,000 times better then try to times it again. I can't imange, but still I have a thing inside of me. I,m am trying talk to god about it, but how do I hear him and my prolbem is how do I believe in some one who I never seen who I ever know and most of all how doi respeat him if I don't fear him, I don't know why but I have a lot of qeustions and I don't know how to talk to him and if he is punishing me how do I know it is him. well I know i am not that far in my walk, but I am growing and I have to keep on walking and I have to keep on going to get to heaven!

one busy busy day

so it started at 6;30 am when I got up. me and sarah and work on the home coming flout from 7:30 to 10:00 and for a hour we sat in the hot sun waiting. from 11:00 to12:30 some people and I had to run handing out candy to little kids and after that we went back to the school and in tall6 work on the set, then the next morning we got up at 6:00 for chrunch.

harry potter!!! and home coming

Harry potter is a really great book right now I am on the 4 book it is awesome and what I wanted to say about the book is it not bad unless you belive it and I don't. it was funny ,because I was at chruch and they were talking about if god ask you to do some thing would you out of fear or by faith and in the book who-sould-not-be-named is reborn and the death eater only come back out of fear. so.. moving on homecoming is coming. I have the dress, but no date and really i am fine with that I want to go and dacne with everyone.

so...

right now I am thinking of all the guy I like because in my life I am looking for a husband and i know I am to young, but hey what can I say. well when I was going throw all of the guy I liked two shanded out, but one of them is 3 years older then me that I'm going to call tall dude because he tall and the one 5 years older that I'mk going to call shine eyes and i ahve a song to decide them :)Here're the lyrics:I'm tuggin' at my hairI'm pullin' at my clothesI'm tryin to keep my coolI know it showsI'm staring at my feetMy cheeks are turning redI'm searching for the words inside my headCause I'm feeling nervousTryin' to be so perfectCause I know you're worth itYou're worth it, yeahIf I could say what I want to sayI'd say I want to blow you, awayBe with you every nightAm I squeezing you too tightIf I could say what I want to seeI want to see you go down, on one kneeMarry me todayGuess I'm wishing my life awayWith these things I'll never sayIt don't do me any good it's just a waste of timeWhat use is it to you what's on my mindIf it ain't comin out we're not going anywhereSo why can't I just tell you that I careCause I'm feeling nervousTryin' to be so perfectCause I know you're worth it, you're worth it yeah I always think about if they like me think I am cute, what? what do they think about? I don't know if it is really love, but I have never felt this way for any guy or guys but them. If they ask me to do some I would in a heart beat and best of all thier christians:). I know maybe I am going a little over broad, but when I see the shine eyes it feels like my heart breaks inside when ever he sing, smile, are do any thing supid. (there a LOT more), but I don't know right now I'm looking for a older brother figure:(. so... I'm confused right now.

I wish I could spell

Spelling is a hard thing for me. how to do people say if you can read it you can spell it. That is a lie. I can read things like "I lkie to go to the mvoie or hnug out wiht firneds" it is said that some people xan read thind if the first and last letter is the same and the there letter are mixed. it just is hard when i try to write some thing I can't spell and i have to change my words so i am going to try to teach myself I am also going try slowing down a comman thing that it said to me. At first I could'nt figrue out but now I am going to try stopping at really . and , so if you hear me tallking to fast tell me

changes

a lot of my pictures are old. Now my hair is short and with blone stricks. I have gain20 pound at the begging of the summer now i am trying to loss it I am 5'8 and I think I am tall for a girl. I need a new carama hoply for my brithday. so whan i get pictures i will post them :)

school!!!

In school I'm trying to keep my mouth shut. A girl in one of my classes is getting to me. I have been keeping quite, but it is hard. beside that I am starting to write ever thing i have to do some I remeberand here the list:
avid- anwears question
L.A.-study vocab word
goegrahy- vocab
it does not seen like a lot, but it is there is more to it. One song that decision me is "on the outside looking in". youdon't know my nameyou don't know anything about meI try to play niceI want to be in your gameThe things that you sayYou may think I never hear about themBut word travels fastI'm telling you to your faceI'm standing here behind your back[Chorus:]You don't know how it feelsTo be outside the crowdYou don't know what it's likeTo be left outAnd you don't know how it feelsTo be your own best friend on the outside looking inIf you could read my mindYou might see more of me than meets the eyeAnd you've been all wrongNot who you think I amYou've never given me a chance[Chorus:]You don't know how it feelsTo be outside the crowdYou don't know what it's likeTo be left outAnd you don't know how it feelsTo be your own best friend on the outside looking inWell, I'm tired of staying at homeI'm bored and all aloneI'm sick of wasting all my time[Chorus (x2):]You don't know how it feelsTo be outside the crowdYou don't know what it's likeTo be left outAnd you don't know how it feelsTo be your own best friend on the outside looking inYou don't know how it feelsTo be outside the crowdYou don't know what it's likeTo be left outAnd you don't know how it feels so...... after that I what to sat things are getting better because of youth group it feel like i have more friends. I am so glad i met jess because with out her i wound have never have gone to my chruch.( I wish i could hung out with her more), but god have really move me and me happy. Thanks to god I have my youth group. Why I go to youth group is becasue after ever thing thats go on in the week I know that I can go to youth group and all of my prolbems and worries are gone. I love it all. The games the nerds and the cool people( Idon't know where I am at) to the drama, to who like me or do the person I like like me. I have a lot of qeustion,but I do really would like any one to go it is a great time. well bye for now, but can any one who read my blog comment and tell me what you think . THANKS.

It's be a long time.

so.... I have begin high school and a lot of things has change. Over the summer I have grow a lot, but I still make mistakes like all human do! just little one, but people still look down on you. I made a few of BIG mistakes in the past what makes people notice the little one. I will always make mistakes so some people need to live and forgive and they need to stop looking down on me for my little mistakes I can't help and I'm not going to change it because i'm human and i'm not going to act what i not! you know some time it hard to say some things to people at you really care about because of the out come at may happing so you just write it down, hope the person reads it, and it will never come up... I have been really tired and thing have not been going my way. so i'm just have to keep looking to God. I have been trying to tell my friend about God, but he comes up with really good question what are hard to anwears( i know that spelled wrong) I going to try to start reading the bible again it just so hard to understand. beside that I'm alway telling myself i'm going to lose weight, I am going to clean the house all the time and this in that, but (o.k. i am so happy my computer just turn off and this save thanks god!) when ever i tired it fail so I am going to take it step by step and with god help i can do it. :).... I love youth group I go all the time my friends ask" how do you like that" I say i fun you play games(awesome) everones "nice"(I'm sure people" talk") theres a great posture i love hearind god word. The question my friend asks me most on the bus is how do you know there is a god i said "because i have not been a christian or i have been one and desided not to follow and then my life was bad and now it awesome i have more friends and no more fight just ever thing been better." I was not a christian in till the summer and i think that is what help me grow up, but i alway put on a act. I did things at you would not ever think i'd do. I was no goody girl and i'm not afaid to amit it. I did do wrong things, but i have realies that god is my leader and i should live for him. I know I am still going to mess up, but when i do I'll pray and try to fix it.

Macho woman

Not so macho man

We were playing around while sarah was taking pictures. The Macho thing was Sarah's idea for a scrap book page. Both brandon and I loved it. I just to post it too.

Youth group

This is one of the pictures took of me just for fun. Unfortunaly the lighting was to bright. The reason why im posting this is to talk about church, and this is a pretty picture. I love my church and im so glad that jesssica has been taking me. All of the sponcers of youth group have helped me out, so does the kids. I always love going to church because I get to learn about god and have fun. This friday we're going to the corn maze. I cant wait! Its going to cost ten dollars but it will be worth it. :) A girl named anna (not my sister) said that she went yesterday, and said that she was only able to get out of 9 mazes and it took her five hours. We will be there for about three hours. We are going to take a bus there and back.

my mom

my mom is the one on the right she the the best. I'm doing this post because I had a bad dream. That I came home from school one day and i was supposed to spend the night at my moms house. When i got home everyone was at my house but my mom, and i was told i couldn't spend the night at my moms house to night. I asked why and i was told she died. No one knew where she was at just a note saying, "I'm sorry to have done this to you guys but I'm dead." The first thing i realized that this wasn't my moms handwriting. so i went to the back yard and noticed that there was a blanket nailed to the grass. I picked it up and nothing was there but a hole

I went inside and when i came back out i noticed that someone had covered the hole with the blanket again. i went outside and uncovered it again then i heard a noise so i jumped in. Luckily i missed my mom who was trying to climb out. I devised a plan for us to get out. Once i got to the top i realized that someone was trying to close the hole with the blanket again. I grabbed the hand and it was Rico from Hannah Montana. I went into the house dragging Rico behind me and told everyone what happened. then i woke up. The first thing i did when i woke up was call my mom to make sure she was OK.

I'm so lucky to have a mom like her. (of course there is more to the dream it would just take to long to write)

kevin

Kevin is Jessica son. he is so cute,funny,and fun to be around.

He is the only boy that's Jessica has but Jessica is in the proses of adopting kid. maybe she will get a boy. Kevin is one year old. I babysit him and he's two sister Danya and Gloria. they can be good when they decide to and when they get there new kids I can't babysitting because you have to be 14 and I'm 13. Kevin have learned a few words, and sounds that mean word like zoom for car, roof for dog and thing like that. and he learned sign langue for things like eat.

He's mom dad and sisters are helping him. Jessica and Danial have done so good with there kids. they are going to be great parents for what ever kid they get. Kevin is a smart little boy. He's going to be a human. {I cant thank of a better word } yes I spelled all by my self.**

Summer Days

The summer is almost gone. Only twenty days left. This summer all i have done was move to a house from a townhome, went camping once, went to four birthday parties, and went to eliches a couple times. I took a lot of pictures though. This one is one of favorites. Also ive been to church with jessicas family every sunday. sarah and anna come too. weve spent some time together this summer but not as much as when we lived by eachother, but at least once a week we have quality time. Ive found out alot more about the girls by baby sitting them too. My favorite part about baby sitting is when we go to the park. I also like taking care of kevin he has grown so much i cant believe it. and i love the mall baby video jessica put of kevin on youtube.

About Anna

Anna is my 5 year old sister. I love her with all of my heart. She can be a pain, but I still love her. In this picture Anna was at Danya's house. They were playing dress up. It was so cute I had to take a picture. Anna is smart, nice, funny,and lovely but sometimes she can be the total opposite.

Her birthday was on June 29th. She had a water party with all of her friends. She had alot of people there and one actually named Shannon, like me! First they all played with the water toys. Then we ate, she opened presents, and everyone went home. I wouldn't trade Anna for anything!

Carnival Birthday

For Anna's 5th birthday we went to a carnival with Jessica. It was $20 bucks for a wrist band but it was worth it! Anna had so much fun hanging out with Gloria and Danya. She calls them her two best friends in the whole world.

The girls went on all the little kid rides. While Sarah and I went on some big rides. The caterpillar, the mini roller coaster, was Anna, Gloria, and Danya's favorite ride. We also all spent the night at Jessica's house. Anna slept in Gloria's room.

Gloria tried spooking her out saying things like, "There are rats on the bed and poison on the floor." Anna asked, "Can I sleep with you?" and Gloria said, "No, I don't want to have a baby." She was a little confused. Anna came up to us crying, saying that she was scared, and that she wanted to sleep with Sarah. Sarah said, "No." so Anna ended up sleeping with me.

This is me on the "Freak Out" and the "Super Loop"! They are awesome!

School's Out!

Goodbye school, Hello Summer! I was so happy when school was out because I didn't have to deal with any more problems. As you may know, I wrote three books: "The Life of a 12 Year Old", "The Life of a 13 Year Old", and "The End of School". These books are available around school and if you read them you can see why I'm so happy that school's out.

No more getting bullied, called names, or being pushed around! I was so happy when I was at Jessica's house that I decided to make a post about it. That's why I put up this post.

Me in a tree

When I was little I loved to climb trees. My Mom called me "Mrs. Monkey". I climbed alot of trees; big ones, little ones, skinny ones, fat ones. One day I was climbing a tree and a dog came running and it started barking up the tree. So I climbed higher. I climbed so high that I got scared and I wouldn't come down. I sat up there for at least an hour calling my Mom. By then the dog was gone, but I was so scared I didn't come down. Finally she came out and I refused to come down and she had to call the fire department. So the fire department came and got me down.

Another story was when my Mom climbed up a tree while Larry, her new boyfriend, and Anna were down by the lake. My Mom started saying, "Anna, Anna, I'm stuck! Come help me!" Some lady actually thought she was stuck so she called the fire department. By the time they actually arrived, my Mom was already down. She was so embarassed because she had to explain to them she was just messing around! When she told me the story I thought it was funny.

This family has been a big change in my life. they are so speacl to me. Even know they dont know they have done a lot for me. When you first look at this pic you see two little girl. Well these two girl had made me reallylis that I dont need friend how push me around but two good one is all. The woman and the man had give me more hope.they had showed me the ligth of god.the woman had open my eyes the life and got me more into reading. she had made me think from both ways. The man I can 100% thruoh for his a man i can in what to resput. he has help me the most. and the baby i just love well really i love all of them. i love so most can bally say things. this post was really hard for to put on here becaese it showing my really feelings.

Happy Birthday Gloria

This Gloria, she is five years old, and today is her birthday. This is the first time i ever met her family. My four year old sister went to her party at Chucky cheese and i went along to supervise Anna. this is how we all became friends. Well actually it started off with my dog Midnight. He was technology just being a puppy but Jessica calls it terrorizing her kids. he would play rough with them and escape his lease when no one was around. After we had to get rid of Midnight we became really close to Gloria and her family. I am extremely glad to meet such wonderful people.anna and gloria become good friends

Zoom!

When I was babysitting the girls and the baby I called their mom and asked if they could play in their little toy car. We took the car to the park and they were driving around the park. I was on the swing with Kevin.

While we were at the park, Gloria drove off somewhere. So I had Danya go stop her since I can't run fast with the baby. Gloria did not stop because apparently she didn't hear Danya. She almost drove out into the street! I had to yell her name. She had the gas pedal floored and was going everywhere. She had closed her eyes! I'm just happy that she didn't get hit by a car. I would have been so worried about her going to the hospital.

Sometimes I miss being a little kid. Seeing how much fun they have, I just miss it. Being a teenager means you can't do things as you can being a little kid because people just think it's weird. You can't act like yourself any more. You can't do fun crazy things anymore like you did as a little kid because now people just think you're weird. But as a little kid, people would just think you were trying to be funny. Do you miss being a little kid? I surely do.

Babysitting

Right now I'm babysitting Danya and Gloria. They're having alot of their friends over. Instead of babysitting three kids, it feels like I'm babysitting a hundred!

We started playing house with me as the mom and Amber as the stepmom. Then me and Amber started getting a little bit annoyed when all the kids started running off. We had to chase them all around and then we had to make a threat that if they did it again we weren't playing any more. After that they all calmed down.

That day for about ten minutes I forgot I was babysitting the girls and ran off with Amber. We were sitting in her house and I remembered that I was supposed to be watching the girls. So I go outside to see what the girls were doing. They were fine, but then my sister told me that a big black dog was just in the house and a strange man had to come get the dog out! Thank goodness nothing happened to the girls and the baby! I would have been in so much trouble with Jessica!

My Babysitter, My Friend

(A note from Jessica to Shannon)

Shannon, you asked me to describe you, but that's hard to do. I like so many things about you, even though I often seem frustrated by little things. I like that you ask me deep questions about my faith that require me to really examine what I believe so that I can put it into words.

I like that you are willing to scrapbook with me even if I don't have much time. I appreciate having you to talk to while I'm doing chores around my house, especially when you hold my baby at the same time so that I can get those chores done. When you really laugh (not that fake machine gun chuckle you do to make Kevin laugh), your laughter makes it almost impossible for me to keep a straight face, it's contagious.

I love that you have taken an interest in my girls, because they so badly needed a friend when we moved here in September. I wish you and Gloria were closer because I know she would love to have the same great friendship that you instantly had with Danya.

Since I first met you it seems like you have become more reliable, more responsible, more mature, and you have earned my trust. Except for a few tiny mistakes, you have done really well taking care of Kevin and the girls. I can tell you are going to be a great mom some day! I hope that we stay friends for a very long time. You will always be welcome at our house, even after we move.
(P.S. - I hope you don't mind me posting this!)

Danya

Danya is 6 years old. She's smart and playful and nice. She is wonderful. She loves to tell stories, dance, and sing. She has her own blog. She has a bunch of stories. There's this one where she ends with a math thing, it's so cute. She has 100s of things to tell. She's great, if you ever see her you'll be happy.

Thanksgivings

My family came over to Jessica's house for thanksgiving. We had a big dinner. I'm so glad that I know this family. They are so great. I'm so glad that my baby sister met Gloria. If she did not I dont know what I'd do.

Cute

Sarah and I were playing dress up with Danya and Gloria. We had a lot of fun. We dressed up in a lot of things. One time Anna came over and dressed up. She dressed so cute!

Teddy Bear

Kevin's first Christmas! Kevin got his first gift from me. I gave him a teddy bear with a hat. He loves it. He had a great Christmas and so did I.

Friends

These two girls are Danya and Gloria, my two friends. I watch them (baby sitting). Danya is the oldest and she is the one standing up. She is very smart and creative. Gloria is very active and smart. They are both playful and nice. Danya said "Shannon is very sweet and I like that she is my friend." Gloria said "Shannon is wonderful."

This blog is about me!

My name is Shannon Caulkins. I'm 13 years old and I love to scrapbook! I also love cooking, watching kids, and playing outdoors. I'm a creative young girl, very smart (even though I do have some reading issues). I've got two sisters and a twin brother. My older sister is 14 and named Sarah. My younger sister is only my half sister. She's 4. Her name is Anna. My twin brother's name is Brandon. Yes, we do get in fights alot.

I started scrapbooking when I was 12 years old. I got into scrapbooking by this wonderful person named Jessica. She has 3 kids, 2 girls and 1 boy. The boy is a baby, 8 months old. The two girls are 5 and 6. They're all great.

My two favorite holidays are Christmas and Halloween. I like Christmas because it's a time to hang out with family and have presents. I like Halloween because of the candy and I can dress up however I want and no one can make fun of me.
