Twas the night before Christmas,

and all through the house,

not a creature was stirring,

except for a mouse!

Just a little brown mouse,

tiny and small,

who liked to eat cheese

and lived in a wall.

He did not like Christmas,

the gifts they were sappy,

of all the presents

none made him happy

One day before Christmas,
he thought to himself,
what if he asked Santa,
if he needed help?

On the very night
the Santa would come,
the mouse was all ready
to leave his dear home.

Soon he heard a sound,
from the fireplace,
and instead of a fire
a black boot it replaced.

A boot soon a single pair,
with some red cloth,
and a tiny white mouse
with a tiny cough.

The brown mouse squeaked
not out of fright but fury,
how could that mouse be there
all perfect and furry?

When Santa turned round,
the mouse tried to hide
but the white mouse squeaked warning
and made Santa jump surprised.

“Well what is this?”
Santa said with a smile,
the brown mouse sighed,
“Its not worth your while.”

“Come on young fellow,”
Santa said with persistence
the brown mouse embarrassed said,
“I need your assistance.”

He scampered up Santa's arm,
stretched to reach his ear,
and whispered a plan
very clever and dear.

Santa chuckled with cheer,
and stood up with jolly,
“I bet I can help
this plan with no folly.”

Soon after the presents,
where put in their place,
the brown mouse climbed up
to the white mouse's space.

The white mouse turned,
and said with a grin,
“Welcome aboard,
up here your my kin.”

The brown mouse sighed,
and started to cry
“Whats wrong,” said Otis
“Why do you sigh?”

“I have no name.”
said the brown mouse with sadness,
“Well that cannot do
you will be called Agnes.”

“Agnes?”said the brown mouse
“I quite like that name!”
“Then it shall be yours
you can wear it to fame.”

When Santa was finished,
and climbed in the sleigh,
the mice were ready
in every manner and way.

“I'm Agnes!” the mouse cried,
and Santa laughed with glee
“Hello, I'm Santa
and I'm glad your happy.”

Santa pulled on the reins,
the sleigh lifted so light
and the mice squeaked happily
“And to all a good night!”

yes..well...

tis christmas time again!

Today was official cookie baking day in The Holmes Household. The fragrent smell of cookies wafts through the air and delights my nose. My mom asked me to go through the house and take a few photos of our house around christmas time. Here are a few.





Thats all folks!Just kidding I, Katherine, never end on cheesy lines like that.
Well, ok maybe I do.
XD

eh

The excitment of school being out has worn off and my days are spent wandering around trying to find stuff to do. So far I have drawn some pictures, listened to music, drawn some more, and watched some tv. Thrilling, right? But all is well because this week all my friends get out of school. So my week should start getting interesting soon. Nothing much to say......la li lah.......

*sigh*

As I hear a faint sound in the distance, my mind slowly awakens back into reality. My cellphone alarm is ringing. My feet cry with misery as i walk across the chilled wooden floor to stop the consistent alarm. Turning it off, I sigh and realize I havent studied for history very much, and I havent looked at math yet. Grabbing my clothes, I get dressed quickly to preserve the warmth I still have from bed. Pulling on my shoes, I quietly tiptoe to the bathroom to wash the sleep from my eyes. Looking into the mirror, I am shocked to see my hair darker and straighter than usual. Oh, wait, I actually fixed it last night. But intstead of brown hair, it is black D: Then I remember last night, when I realized my mistake of picking a color that was too dark. I finally rush downstairs to unload the dishwasher before I leave. Stepping out into the brisk morning, I groan and the cold sets in. Getting to school I immediately go to my room and talk to Sharon. The dreaded bell rings and the day has begun. After two finals, my brain cant take it anymore. Then I realize, today is the last day!!!! Im out of school!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOHOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:D

o ya, i almost forgot....

I almost forgot!!!!! Today i got the official call that informed me that i am a finalist in the Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo Art Contest. ----------------------------------->

My picture is titled "Elvis and His Cowboy"

yay! Unfortunatly i dont find out what place i have won until January 26. D: Major bummer.

another day in the ever so boring life...

Well, I started off my amazing and thrilling day with a cup of coffee, fresh breakfast of eggs and bacon, and finishing a good book i was reading. NOT. i wish. Unfortunatly the only part that is true was the cup of coffee, and it was half a mug leftover from my mom's pot of it. After my luxurious non-breakfast and half cup of coffee, i made my way upstairs to work on an unfinished puzzle that distracts me from the stuff i actually should be doing. :) Then my conscience told me to get my lazy butt up and study for my exams tomorrow. Too bad my conscience quit after i took one glance at the outlines. I decided that it would be a perfect opportunity to clean my room!(which my mom has been begging me to do forever)

since then, i have worked on my puzzle, watched some tv, and worked on my puzzle some more. But wait, wasnt i supposed to be studying? Oh ya. Must have forgotten. Oops :)

let it snow, be humid, and 80 degrees in one week...

ahh, fall...how pleasant... NOT. ok well...maybe alittle. But from how the weather has been pleasently changing you'd think it was having problems making up its mind. Its a tug-o-war with summertime and winter!! Luckily I think i see winter pulling out in the final stretch. I woke up this morning and definitly did NOT want to get out of bed. When I did finally edge off the wonderful warm mattress of flannel, my feet sadly reached and were caught off guard by the cold knots of wood. The only thing running through my mind was, "D:" then, "!!!!" then more, "D:" But what else runs through the mind of a sleepy-eyed teenager at 6:30 in the morning?Catching me with a good mood is rare and this picture captures what i feel like about once a year. A guy at school even remarked to me today, "Hey katherine, you look melancholy." Recalling my remark i said, "Ya, I'm usually like that."
O well, I think my melancholy life is starting to show. :D But I believe that if one would like to catch a piece of my happiness, take me to a park, and let me jump around in the leaves. :)
