AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHmir

So I just got back from babysitting a bunch of torturously naughty children and am not in the best of moods. This brat I'm eating is really helping to cheer me up, however, as well as the water I'm chugging down. It's been really hot and really busy for me the past few weeks. Two weeks ago I was working nearly everyday, except for Wednesday, as one of the hostesses at my restaurant (which I don't actually own, I just work there, but still refer to it as "my restaurant") up and decided to leave for California to visit her father. Honestly, she wasn't the most responsible or reliable girl, so when one of the other hostesses called me and told me this girl had decided to move to California permanently, I wasn't all that surprised. I was even a little happy for her, as she had called me once to confirm I was covering her shift and it sounded like she was pretty happy over there. Still, I was a little annoyed, as that left everyone else scrambling to cover her shifts. It all worked out alright though. I needed the extra money anyway.

Just this past week, I was helping my church out with our annual VBS (Vacation Bible School). Basically what it is is a week of "camp," where kids come to our church to sing songs, play games, eat snacks and learn about God. Our theme this year was "Hometown Nazareth: Where Jesus Was a Kid." It kinda focused on making Jesus more relatable to the children by showing them how similar he was to them in that he had a family, a home, went to church, etc. My job was to be a "tribe leader," which really just consisted of taking the kids around to the different stations, keeping them in line and taking them to the bathroom. It was really fun, because I had a pretty good group of kids. They were all very energetic, if a little rowdy at times, and I had a fun time hanging out with them. My favorite little kid probably had to be Angelina. She's six, maybe seven, but she's super sweet and everyday, when she saw me she would be like "Rebecca's here!" and then run over to me and hug me. She's also SUCH a girly girl. She always wore skirts and dresses and stuff and loves jewelry. She doesn't have ear piercings, but I saw her one day wearing stickers on her earlobes like earrings. It made me laugh a little. :)

Goodness, but the bunch I just came back from was horrific. There are four of them, two little girls and two little boys. They are all 5 years old or younger and the two little boys are still in diapers. Usually they're pretty nice. The only one I ever really have to keep an eye on is the older boy, who likes to color on his face and squirt his juice box across the table, but today, every single one of them was misbehaving. The two girls were fighting constantly, the older boy was climbing over everything and falling down, and the little boy was very upset, because he had a diaper rash. UGH! I was so glad when their dad came home. I was outta there like a freaking  lightning bolt.

Speaking of lightning bolts, there is a crazy big storm brewing a little ways from my house and I took some crazy footage of it with my iPod touch. Justin, my stormchaser nerd friend, will probably be very happy. I'd post a link to my video of it, if my iPod weren't being such a cotton-headed ninnymuggins and would load it to Youtube. Maybe later though.

IN ANY CASE! What I really wanted to share with you guys today is this AMAZING R&B group who got their start on Youtube. I am constantly blown away by their wonderful song renditions, particularly their harmonies. I actually get shiver sometimes when I listen to them. They are called "Ahmir." Ahmir Youtube Channel They have a really awesome a capella vibe, but they are great rappers as well, and they mostly do covers of popular songs that, honestly, are sometimes better than the original. My favorite tracks are Next 2 You, by Chris Brown ft. Justin Bieber, Just a Dream by Nelly (there's an awesome beatboxing solo bit at the end that I love!), and California King Bed by Rihanna (such an awesome song; makes me tear up a little every time I hear it). For real, I love them so much, I actually go on Itunes to buy their songs. They honestly deserve my hard earned money. That's how much I love them. Everyone should definitely go check them out.

Anyways, until next time then.
