Did U know we have a bathroom in the laundry room?

So I was finishing my shower, minding my own bizness, when I heard Liz yelling rite outside the bathroom: "April, can I use the bathroom? I've gotta go 2 work!" I was, like, "Use the 1 in the laundry room!" Liz knocked on the door and yelled, "Dad's in there! What's taking U so long!" I didn't answer her, but I came out, wearing my pants on my bottom half and my robe on my top. I had my hair up in a towel-turban, and I was carrying the rest of my clothes. And I was all, "OK, I'm OUT!! --Happy?" Liz went, "AAAGH! It's all steamed up!!" I spun around 2 face her, and I got so mad I cd feel steam coming out of the top of my hed. This was kinda painful and made me scrunch up my face. Liz was suddenly all, "Uh... I'll deal w/the steam in the bathroom."

Gah, I h8 living in theze crowded conditions!

    Yr house has a weird floor plan, but I guess I'm not n any place 2 talk since my mom wants 2 put a wet bar n her study. @ least yr laundry rm already has plumbing in it.

    I so hope this fite b/t Jeremy @ Duncan doesn't escalate (Hey, I'm using my vocab words!) n2 anything physical. Jeremy's never mentioned this on this blog, but he & Gordie took Rex Kwan Do classes 4 extra credit last semester. After they completed the course, Sensai Caine gave them free coffee w/cinnamon bun coupons 4 Mayes Discount Motors/Coffee Haus/Night Club/Day Spa/Office Supplies/Designer Footwear. I'm not 2 scared tho, 'cause I know Gordie would never try 2 tweak my ear.

    Dear everyone who reads April's blog,

    This morning I accidentally overslept and when I went to the bathroom, April was already in there, well then I went and checked the master bathroom and Mom was in there, and Dad was in the laundry room bathroom, even though there is no shower in there I checked it, so I went back to the upstairs bathroom and pounded on the door and yelled for April to let me in, after all, I have to work to teach hundreds and hundreds of students, whereas April is just one student, so obviously it is a greater good if she is the one who is late as opposed to me, well when April came out I was very surprised to see that the bathroom was pre-steamed, after all one of my greatest joys is using an unsteamed bathroom and getting to steam it myself, I feel that is a very fair expectation to have, even when you live with many hundreds of family members like I do, you should not let standards slide like this, it is really a sad day when you have to use a pre-steamed bathroom, well I did like Mom told me on how to express unhappiness in a ladylike way and screamed, "AUGH!" and then complained about the bathroom being all steamed up, but when I turned around to scream AUGH in April's face, I was taken by surprise to see her face was all twisted up in a hideous scary expression that is like Grandpa sucking on a lemon, and there was steam shooting out the towel on top of her head, and it scared me, because for that much steam to be coming out of her towel I figured her head must be on fire, I did not want to be around to get blamed for April's head being on fire, so I very generously and understandingishly said I would just deal with the steamy bathroom and quick ran inside and slammed the door and shoved that little shelving unit up against the door to block her from coming in the bathroom or anyone else for that matter, I wish Mom didn't disapprove of privacy locks so much, she always said there was nothing we should be doing in a bathroom that a person's mother shouldn't be allowed to see, although Mom did admit to me that she instituted this policy about never putting on privacy locks when Mike was 11 and started spending unordinary amounts of time alone in the bathroom, anyway, I was lucky and April did not bust back into the bathroom when her head erupted into flames which I am pretty sure it must have done so.

    April,

    We had an extra-special teacher in-service day, and in fact it was so special that it was just for teachers who are Pattersons, I was very excited about this and so couldn't be late you see, when I got to the school, all the most important people were there, the principal and the superintendent and some people from the provincial department of education, and this one lady, I didn't catch where she was from exactly, her name was Linda or Lily or Laura or Lynn or something like that, anyway she was older-ish like Mom's age, except with short hair, which surprised me because it is only proper for older ladies to have a bun, but anyway, this lady said she makes the rules, she doesn't have to follow them, and oh we had a good laugh at that, and then the superintendent said something about things I need to improve on in my work performance and of course the stuff he said was just filled with mistakes, I started to correct him and the principal jumped in, and of course all he wanted to talk about is how much school I have missed because of the trial, he says that trails for t-shirt grabbing don't go on for months and months, and I pointed out how it got remanded, and then he said, "Remanded means you could be in school," and we argued and argued until I started to cry and Leslie or Liane or Lynette or whatever her name is broke it up and said, "Elizabeth is a Patterson, surely there is something we can do here," and the person from the Ontario education whatever said, "Of course, all is forgotten, but she has to buckle down," and I swore I would buckle down, so I am probably going to be going to work every day this week, to show them how I am buckling up or whatever.

    P.S.--Did your hair actually catch on fire or not, you know, I didn't know that madness could make your head catch fire, really, when you are mad you should not put a towel on your head, you won't need it anyway, the heat of the fire will eflaporate the water off your hair.
