Whoosh AWH

'Whoosh!' I was off swaying in the air like a bird even though the Harness kind of gave me a wedgie i was fine with it because i was having so much fun! "weeeeeeeeeeeeee" I shouted "I'm flying" soon the fun was over and i knew i would look forward to it next year.

Cranbook Game AHW

Today I had a field hokey game .vs. Cranbrook, even though we lost 0-1 it was still fun and our team made a few great plays! It was our second to last game and probably my second favorite game. Earlier that day I hurt my knee in many different ways, first I slipped and fell on it, next my Mom accidentally opened the car door on it and then on the way in I banged my stick agent my knee, It's funny that it happened in the exact same spot each time but anyway this one girl that was the number 3 kept hitting my leg with her stick. I'm not sure if she did it purposely but it sure felt like it. And this other girl who was number 13 kept stepping on my foot which I think was very rude! Even though my knee was purple and my foot was sore by the end of the game it was still fun when we made a pyramid and I got to go on the top!

Just in case your wondering this is what a field hockey stick looks like

I'm on Oakland Field Hockey 

       

Halloween AHW

I am so excited for Halloween I am going to be Annabelle the doll/bad spirit. Every year I go with Ainsley and she has a HUGE Halloween party, her neighborhood is big and so I get like a pillow case full of candy. There is one house that gives out hot chocolate and full size candy bars. My sisters Kindergarten teacher lives in her neighborhood called Georgetown and she gives out a ton of candy, after we are done trick-or-treating we go back to Ainsleys house and we count all of our candy last year I got 179 pieces and i'm so-excited to get more.

Ouch! (AHW)

As I ran through the hallway my hair blew behind me like a cape. When I got to the BCS office I saw my Mom standing there waiting for me,she was wearing a black North Face parka, jeans and her hair was pulled back by her upright sunglasses. "Hi Honey" she said "whats up with your ear?" "I don't know" I replied as I got into the car "it just hurts really hurts!" The whole drive after that was silent until we pulled into the urgent care parking lot she said" Does it feel clogged?" she asked as we walked into the building "yes, a lot" I whined. On the door there was a sign that caught my eye it said: If you have come in contact with anyone that has/had or could have had Ebola get a test immediately. It kind of scared me to think that people who could have Ebola have been there but I forgot about it as soon as I walked n the door. The person at the front desk said "have you ever been here before?" "yes" said my Mom "Last name Deighan First Name Ellie or Elizabeth" "okay" she said "follow me", she led us into a bright room and told us that the doctor would be there soon.First the Nurse came in and he took my temperature, found out my blood pressure and all of that stuff. Finally the Doctor came in and she asked a ton of questions like "when did it start hurting" and "which ear is it" finally she looked in, " I can not see anything, there is too much wax. We will have to do a cleaning process and it make take a while. Do you have time?" she said "um, I think so" my Mom said. she put these ear drops in my ear and I waited about 10 minuets until the nurse came in and started putting water in my ear with a syringe "ouch!" I screamed. He did this several times and then drained  the water and about a tablespoon of wax into a white bowl and then poured it down the sink. When the Doctor Looked into my ear she said I had an inner ear infection or a sensitivity to the cleaning and the wax was what was making it hurt. "come back in a few days if it still hurts" she said. But the best part was that I got two lollipops!

The Garden Mystery (AHW)

                                          

                                    Chapter One

                                                 The Garden      

"Carly where are you?" my older brother Nick called "over here" I yelled from the garden. I was the one kid, the only kid that ever went to the garden, people always said it was haunted and that on the 5th of May a baby red bird ghost would emerge from the garden.
A lot of people are scared of me now, just because my birthday is May 5th. I have hardly any friends, well not hardly any friends more like no friends well except for the animals that live on papa's farm and of course my older brother Nick.
       I watched Nick run to me, his bright red hair was shining in the beautiful summer sunlight and his bright blue eyes blended in with the sky. As he approached me I knew that something had gone terribly wrong "Hi Nick" I said in a cheerful voice trying to make him not tell me the bad news that I knew was inside of him "Hello" he replied in an 
ac ward tone. Now I knew he had bad news, I knew that he always used that tone of voice when he had bad news. "well..um...so" he hesitated "I have bad news" he mumbled "what is it" I asked in a demanding sort of voice "well..." he mumbled so quiet I could not hear. "what?" I asked 

                                  Chapter Two

                         The Terrible, Terrible, Terrible News 

    "Just come with me" he said finally speaking up a little "okay" I replied. I really did not want to go but the next thing I knew I was running alongside Nick and we where racing to the barn "Faster" he yelled "we've already taken enough time up with your stupid stalling!" Crud I thought he knows I was trying to stall. By the time we got there I felt like my legs where going to fall off. As I stopped to catch my breath, next to Nick, I looked up in horror at about twenty dead sheep laying on the ground with blood streaming down their red stained wool "wa..wha..what..what happened?" I stuttered. And that's when I saw a coyote in the corner of the dimly lit barn with wool and blood all around it's mouth  

                            Chapter Three                          

                             Excuses, Excuses, Excuses

"ahhhhh" I screamed "What is that thing" I said even though this had happened once before when I was very little and knew exactly what is was "Coyote's" Nick replied in a stern voice "they got in just now" "they"I repeated " ya" Nick yelled " the are like eight of them" "eight?" I said "yes' he said "now listen this time so I don't have you coming back to me asking to repeat myself again" "okay i'm listening" I said annoyed "go get papa, he'll take care of it". Then I ran away, back to papa without saying a word.

              

      

The Big Shot (AHW)

"No!" I cried "don't do it, no, no, no I hate shots!" Even though the nurse at Target had not even put the needle filled with a small sampling of the influenza germ in my arm I still hated shots and I still did not want to get my flu shot even if it would protect me from getting the flu. My sister Lauren was just as scared as I was. I tried not to tense up but I couldn't help it, just the thought of a needle going into my arm was enough to make me freak out. "It's okay" my Mom chuckled "she's just wiping it down". I had stalled for one hour and my Mother was not taking my excuses anymore. I screamed as the needle went into my arm and the medicine entered my body. I opened my eyes and asked "is it over" "yes" the nurse answered. To tell you the truth it didn't hurt to much until a few minuets later. When everybody else got to pick something out because apparently I screamed to much but I think Lauren screamed even more than I did.

Personal Narrative

'Err' the car screeched as it pulled up to the hospital and started to go up the huge ramp into the Beaumont Hospital parking structure in Royal Oak. My mom made me wear a dress. I hate dresses more than anything in the world but today I was okay with it and I did not make a fuss like I usually did because it was for my Babcia BOB-sha(Grandma).
We rushed into the hospital that had colorful tile and grayish walls. We walked into the elevator and pressed the cream button that had the number six on it, as I pressed it, it lit up and made me sad. It made me think about my Babcia and how we could no longer go to her house for Christmas Eve because of the eight years that my Babcia had survived through many different kinds of cancer. 
As we got closer to her floor I felt like crying, but I did not want to embarrass myself in front of the Couple that had a baby in their arms and was wrapped in a pink blanket. 

Finally we reached the sixth floor and the rusted metal doors of the elevator slowly opened, me, my Mom, Lauren and Hannah rushed out, I could tell they all felt the same way I did.

We swiftly walked down the long hallway, I could see my Uncle Chris standing at a wooden door with a long metal handle. He was smiling at least it looked like he was trying to, he had one of those smiles that adults use when they have bad news. I was worried that he had the worst news of all, which was that she had died.

When we got to the heavy looking door that had her name on it my Mom asked "how is she?" 
"She’s doing fine she just has to drink lots of fluids" My Uncle Chris answered. I was relived, although my Uncle did not look too sure about what he said.

 I had a flash back to the time at home just that day when my Mom had told us about her dehydration and more Cancer. I was so exited about going to Ceder Point the next day, and I felt a little selfish for being the slightest bit mad at my Dad for not going on the trip for the second day but I knew it was for Babcia so I was okay with it.

We walked inside and there laying on the almost all white hospital bed was my Babcia it hurt me to look at her because  a small part of me felt like it was my fault she was in this condition even though the rest of me knew it was not. She did not look like herself at all, most of her hair had fallen out and a lot of clear tubes where suctioned on to her chest and she had a fluid injector beside her going onto her heart and arm. There was also a small black screen that had green zigzag lines on it moving up and down to monitor her heart beat beside her.

There was a long silence until my Dad said "don't worry she won't bite, she is still the same Babshie" that is what my dad called her. Babshie. I liked it, it sounded even more polish than Babcia.        Hannah started to walk over to the bedside and then stopped and looked back at us motioning to follow her, so we did. It made me so sad to look at her laying on the bed helplessly. As I hugged her I felt better, I felt a sudden warmth inside of me like my shattered heart was being put back together and I kind of felt like celebrating even though I knew that it was no time for that. 

Two days later she died, the day I came back from my trip. I was so sad but I realized, even though she did die, she would not be going through the pain and cancer anymore and I knew that it was best for her to die. Or she would just sit there and suffer through what she didn't deserve.
