Greetings from Pueblo, Colorado!

This is your friend, Molly Rain Sky, writing.  I am sorry I haven't written in a few months; have been very busy with school, helping Mommy and Daddy and the family, and whatnot.  I hope you understand.

I am feeling sad today.  Today would have been Grandfather's birthday.  He died last year; I still miss him very much.  Daddy found him in his bed one morning, cold, grey, and lifeless.  He knew he was dead; when he told us the news, we all cried (well, all but Jackson, that is; he's only a toddler).  I then got mad at him and smacked him; Mommy, in turn, smacked me for smacking my brother.  I got into major trouble for that one.

We have since gotten another member in our family.  Mommy had a baby back in January; baby Mayson is now three months old and is spoiled rotten.  Seems the family can't get enough of him; meanwhile, I feel like chopped liver 'cause it seems nobody pays attention to me unless I get into mischief and end up getting into trouble.  It's not fair!

The weather outside is cold but sunshiney.  I could go skiing, but don't feel like it.  Being lazy I guess.  I didn't even make it to church this morning 'cause I overslept; missed the alarm, and when I woke up the family was gone.  I knew they'd gone to church; Mommy left me a note right on my pillow.  I was really mad; I hate missing church!  Still a bit mad; bet the family went out to eat 'cause they're not back yet.  They usually do that after church.

So I am laying here on my bed, feeling a bit sorry for myself.  Still, it is nice not having pesty little brothers or bossy older sisters or annoying little sisters to bother me.  I might as well enjoy myself and enjoy the peace and quiet ...

I also have to get cracking on my science homework.  Ms. Antelope, my teacher, wants us to write a report about one of the planets in the solar system; I picked Saturn.  I just haven't felt like doing it; but I know I have to 'cause it's due tomorrow.  If I don't do it, I'll get a nice, fat, red zero, and I will probably get into trouble with my parents.  Seems I can't get out of doing it ... *Sighhh!*

Well, I'd best start on that stupid report, so I will go after I make myself some cold cereal.  Or maybe I will have a hot dog or something simple for lunch.  May make doing my report that much easier ... will write again soon; sorry it's been a while!  Take care and may God bless you!

~Love, your Colorado friend, Molly Rain.  :)
