Hot Day

Today is very hot day. I woke up this morning at 9:00 a.m., looked outside the window,and the sun was shinning right before my eyes. The sun seemed to have been there since 6:00 a.m. I was scheduled to be at a meeting with my job, but I feel asleep, thinking about how hot it was outside. The snooze alarm had awakened me, so I decided to go ahead and get up. I went outside to get a fresh breeze, but there wasn't any breeze. I went back inside to refresh myself and my fiance came to the bathroom and begin to pout about how dirty her car was. As I listened, I begin to feel very hot and I ran out of the house. For a moment, I told myself, "I'm getting even hotter, just standing out here." I walked back in, to finish refreshing myself and the morning news was on. For some reason, the only channel that we ever watch is the news. I stop to listen at the meterologist, only to find that the temperture was going to be scorching. I knew I couldn't bag out of washing her car, so I played around the house, thinking the temperture was going to come down. About 3:00 p.m., my fiance approached me with her aggressive attitude, telling me that the sun wasn't going anywhere. So I went outside and grabbed all of the cleaning product from the shelf and begin washing. I felt like I was going to have a heat stroke, but I had to be a man about it. Finally, after washing her car, I went in to get some cool air in the house. I went to the kitchen to grab some water and sat down in the living room. Would you have been suprised if I told you that.......IT RAINED?

A Time To Remember

June 15, 2008, was a special day for me to enjoy and relax. It was a time for me to get pampered and showered with love and gifts. I had two special days in one day, my birthday and Father's Day. I was awakened by the sweet smell of crisp bacon, that good ole' Jimmy Dean sausage, and the sweet syrup, running off the best homemade pancakes ever made. I really didn't expect this because, I never received so much attention like this before. I intended to stay in the bed all day, but I later found out that my fiance and I were going to church. As I got out of the bed to start my day, I was interrupted by my daughter singing, "Happy Birthday". I was delighted to hear her singing to me, because I didn't think she knew my birthday. She ran into my arms and gave me hugs and kisses. She reached around her back and extended her arms to give me a gift. I opened the gift and it was a wallet. I told her that I really loved it as she ran to her room to get dress.

As we entered the church, I was approached by my relatives and close friends with hugs, wishing me a wonderful Birthday and Father's day. As my family and I sat in our normal seats, we listened to the bishop preach his sermon. I suddenly, saw an envelope coming towards my way. As I kept looking, the envelope came to me. Anxiously, I opened the envelope and a check written in my name for one-hundred dollars. This was becoming a dream because the day was just beginning for me. It was such a surprise to know that everyone didn't forget my birthday. After a long sermon, I was treated with lunch, wherever I wanted to go. So my family and I went to eat lunch and had a great time.

Finally, we came home and all I wanted to do was watch a little sports on television, and I received a phone call from my brother saying that he was coming over to watch the basketball game. After an hour had passed, I had a house full of people, bringing all kinds of finger foods, gifts, and love. As I sat quietly in my chair, I realized that this was my day. To me, this was one day, I will never forget.

A Bad Day

I recieved a phone call from my brother telling me that he needed me to come get him from the highway because his car was broken down. This was going to be quite challenging for me because of the scorching heat and not to mention the twelve hour shift at my job. Immediately putting on clothes, I rushed out of the door and made my way to my brother's location. Upon arriving, there was smoke coming from the engine and I asked, "did you burn your engine out" and he replied, 'I think so". We didn't have any tools or equipment so he called a wrecker company so they could pick the car up. My brother and I waited for the wrecker to come for about an hour. Feeling sleepy, dirty and hungry, this was not a good sign for a person enjoying the rest of the day off. The wrecker finally came and we drove off to get a bite to eat. Anxiously, we pulled up at the nearest resturant and the smell of the food made my stomach cry for help.
As we came through the door, the building was packed with people that were waiting to order. There was another long line for people whose order were wrong. My brother looked at me and said, "Lets go". We left the buliding and we both agreed that we were going to go to another resturant. On our way, we noticed a car that looked similar to my aunts car, I slowed down to see if it was her. I couldn't believe it, "IT WAS HER". At the point, I knew I had to help because my aunt has done so much for me. I got out of the car and asked her what was going on with her car. She said that her battery went dead and needed a boost. I didn't have one so I asked everyone that passed by. After a couple of hours later, a generous man helped us get the car started and indeed the car started. She thanked us and we were on our way. We finally made it to get something to eat and I was exhausted. Finally, we made it to the house and I took a long shower and fell asleep. I was awaken by the thunder and lighting and couldn't go back to sleep. If this wasn't a bad day, I don't know what know what kind of day that was.
