Confession Tuesday: Not an Atheist, Just Common Sense

Like I have mentioned before my Mom is extremely religious. I mean yeah I also believe in God and I go to church every Sunday, and pray every night but sometimes my mom takes it to the extreme and it it becomes very aggravating and annoying. For example she believes that everything that happens and that anything anybody does is throughout Gods will. One time I remember that I was nervous on a Math Final and the day I told her I got an A she said “see Ale I told you that God helped you and answered the questions for you,” I just looked at her and nodded, (even though I wanted to tell her that I got a good grade because I studied hard, and that next time I wouldn’t study and just pray and see if then I got a good grade).
The circumstance has been getting worse ever since we moved to Panama. She know goes to church 6 days a week. I don’t want it to seem like a bad thing or like I’m a atheist, because trust me  I believe in God and believe in his miracles and I follow the amendments but its not like I sit down and memorize all of the names of every saint and what they did. 
Another problem is that my mom makes me pray for 1 hour with her every day and later she asks me why I’m up to 9:30 still doing my homework. The problem is that I cant approach my mother about this issue because she will get extremely mad and like she says she will be very disappointed in me so hopefully I’ll find a way so wish me luck.

My Dog Days

I think I finally understand my parents a bit better. Ever since I was a little kid I always wanted a puppy, I was always jealous of all my friends who had dogs, and how people called them Mans best friend. I never understood why my parents wouldn’t allow me to have a dog especially since my sister is crazy about dogs and has spent countless hours complaining and arguing with my parents about why we cant have a dog. Well I think I actually praise my parents for not buying us a dog.
It all started out with a suggestion a simple idea a maybe or a what if. My maid Ida asked my mother if we could please care for a puppy for three days until they found it a home. My sister pleaded to my mother to accept and she did. The only reason that she accepted was probably because my father was over 1000 miles away in China. My mom was very nervous about the dog she was going crazy, thinking if it would pee on the couch. The dogs name was Noah. The dogs name was Noah, my mom thought that this was some kind of good omen since in the bible Noah is a close follower of God that was the  only person that survived the great flood, so my mom thought that that was good, like I told you she was going crazy.
The day finally came that the dog came. My sister was going crazy saying things like “ohhhhh the puppy is sooo cute,” well that probably scared the hell out of the puppy because the first thing it did was to pee all over the floor. Before I go on let me tell you my mom is a clean freak, she makes me take like 5 showers a day and she makes me wash my hands every time I touch something, and on top of that she and my maid clean the house 2 times a day. So seeing a dirty puppy and pee all over the floor almost gave her a heart attack. So my mom ordered my sister and the maid to give the 3 week old puppy a bath, not the smartest thing to do. Well apparently the puppy was also afraid of water because it took a dump in my sisters room, but I guess the bath also had its advantage because we found three ticks on the puppy and my mom thought it had lime disease. 
My sister the only one still not regretting the idea of having the puppy decided she would play with it well It turned out bad because the puppy pied 3 more times.  for the rest of the day the puppy did three things eat, sleep, and pee. Remember how I said dogs are mans best friend, well I think that Man is a dogs best friends because we do everything for them. Well finally it was time to sleep and I was glad too I got in my pajamas and as soon as I put my head on the pillow the dang dog starts crying and crying, I swear I wished that a flood would take him away. So basically this was my dog experience for three days.
