January 9th

I'm still over at the Smiths right now. I'm sitting on the bed typing to you. Nothing much is new right now...My brother had a highly successful meet today in Houston. He placed 4th all - around, and I'm soo proud of him! Heehee, you rock John!

Nothing new to update on my dad. Still pretty much the same. He seems to be getting stronger, but...that brace sure is a handi-cap! He seems to be handling the situation quite well. Some days, he seems like his old self, and some days, he's not really there. Have you had those days, when you're talking to someone, and you felt like you're just talking to a wall? Well that's how I feel sometimes about talking to my family...But...with dad, he seems to listen to me...I find that its a little easier to talk to him now, he listens to my conversations, and puts some comments in there too. :)

Well, I have to go to bed now, so I'll talk to you later! Oh, and in case I didn't say before, I get to go home on Sunday afternoon. I'm not so sure when my mom and my brother will be back, but I'm sure it will be later in the afternoon. FYI they were in Houston for the gymnastics meet. :D

Comments

Dear readers -

I have been notified that the comments were not working...I have gone back and enabled that option, so now you may post comments. Please, do! There are somethings I have been dying to hear about ;)

January 6th

As the first day of school, I think it went pretty well...I had a great day, full of laughs (yes, the "laughing so hard you cry" kind), and lots of confusion. If you really know me well, this shouldn't surprise you :)In math class today, we were learning about linear algebra...that was CONFUSING! I was just sitting there with a blank look on my face, while the teacher seemed to be looking right at me. I did ask a couple questions, and I think I might get it, but I think I'll call a couple of my friends to help me out with these kinds of problems. In any case, it was a lot of fun today, there wasn't any play practice, so I had to go home right after school ended. Which...I'm not so thrilled about, because yes, you guessed it, I love being at my school. So then my mom had to come and pick me up from school a whole hour earlier than she planned to. =D Oh well!

Later on tonight though, one of the ladies from our church brought us food, and let me tell you, it was DELICIOUS! I wanted to get a second helping, but I had to go take a shower, because my hair is EXTREMELY curly, so in order for it to look nice the next day, I have to wash it before I go to bed. I personally don't think my hair is that great, but I've gotten a lot of comments saying "You know, people pay about 100 dollars to get their hair looking like yours!" Which, I think may possibly be true...even though I hate to admit it. See the most frustrating thing about my hair is that it used to be straight when I was a little girl. But when I turned 11, it curled...joy joy JOY!

Sorry, I went off on a long rabbit trail of self - pity there, but I think I'm done ranting about my "beautiful black curls" haha =D

So long, fair well, I will talk to you later, Goodnight!

January 5th (part 2)

Well it's currently 9:49...I'm enjoying the last moments of my Christmas break. I finally got my netbook back after a long 3 weeks...YAY! So, the news is, that my dad is getting more strength back in his arms and legs, and he can feel his feet better...so I'm really happy about that...not much more to write about, cuz its a school night, and I should go to bed. So, goodnight!

January 5th

You ever wonder what it's like for teachers the day before school starts up again? Well in case you were wondering, it's pretty hectic. My mom has to prepare powerpoints, make a schedule for this upcoming quarter, and...take care of all us! I would help her with the schooling part, but unfortunately, I'm supposed to be learning 8th grade science, not teaching it. And furthermore, I don't know anything about 9th grade biology beyond photosynthesis. So as you can see, the only thing I can help my mom with is taking care of the family...kitchen (and ingredients in the pantry) here I come!

Well, it's official. I'm moving to the T/Th group. See at my school, you only have to go 2 days out of the week...So I used to go Monday/Wednesday, but now I'm switching over to Tuesday/Thursday...YAY!!! Haha...

Well, my uncle just left to get our Camry (fondly known as "Pip") serviced at Christian Brothers Automotive...Great service there, by the way...


In any case, I'm gunna rap this up, things to do, rooms to clean, meals to cook...and so much more =)

January 4th

Hello! Today was pretty exciting! Dad, John, me and my uncle went out to McDonalds for breakfast, then we went out to buy us all new phones :) I'm so happy, I finally have a cell phone! haha

but besides that, nothing new...mom had teacher confrences at school today, and she has to go back tomorrow... :( poor teachers, they have to start school a whole 2 days earlier! (BTW, this is real sympothy!)

January 3rd

Hey guys! =) I just got back from friends houses...again. Although, I must admit, at first I thought it would be a great adventure, but now...I miss being home. Of course it's nothing against the people that I'm staying with, I just would like to be home more. Whether or not it's a good thing, I will be returning on Friday of this week to the Smiths house. I'm not so sure how much I should say, but...we've been having a couple "conflicts" in the house...you know...two brothers... = disaster! Especially these two brothers - My dad, and his brother...They seem to get along just fine most of the time, but sometimes, they just have a little misunderstanding :) Oh well, nothing I can't handle!

School starts up again this week (Thursday). I'm so excited! I've missed my friends terribly, and quite frankly, I've even missed the stress of homework! I don't know, some how, it just keeps me going...Go one, poke fun, call me crazy, but, I think homework can be relaxing. And no, you might think I've got an easy homework load, but nooo, you'd be faaarrr off on the comment! One of these days, I'll post one of my homework days, full of all the assignments I have to get done, then you'll see :)

What else can I say? My dog seems to be doing fine, although, he's been moping through the house quite often this week...I hope he's ok...not sick or anything. Poor lil' guy, probably just wants some attention. Not like he doesn't get enough already...

I'm sure most of you kids will be going back to school on Tuesday, but please, keep checking my blog, and leave comments! I love hearing from you :)

Lastly - Please post what kind of "projects" you and your best friend enjoy doing with each other! I'd like to compare what me and my best friend do, and what you and your best friend enjoy doing :)

thanks you guys =D
