Fall Break

I just thought I'd blog today about my fall break. It was pretty good. With the future educator's club last Thursday we went to WKU and I had so much fun. We won 1st place in the PCA and theme, we came in 3rd in the banner competition. Western is a college I'm pretty sure about attending. The campus is beautiful and I met some friendly people. I got a free Big Red plush bean bag baby. It's really cute. Rig Red is probably the cutest mascot on the planet.
Last weekend I also went to Evansville. It's always fun to go to Evansville. We hung out at the mall and stopped by Toys 'R Us. My mom wanted to look around in Bed, Bath and Beyond and my little brother and little sister had whoppee cushions and they kept letting them go off while we were in the store and it was just hilarious. People can't really see my little sister through the aisles because she's so small. And people would look at us. I about died laughing. I bought some bump-its. They will not stay in my hair no matter how much hairyspay I spray on. Plus they make it look like I have a bee hive. :) It makes my hair kinda looks like Amy Winehouse's. haha.
We took my little sister to see the Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs movie. It was really cute. The title itself sounds familiar and then I realized that it's a children's book. I don't think I read that book. I'm not really sure. I just can't believe they can make a 2 hour movie out of a 10 sentence children's book. But I enjoyed that movie. It was cool the way it was 3-D.
The bad part about my fall break was my step father. Urrrgh. He makes me so angry. The other day when I was mad at him my face was as rad as a tomato. I swear it was. He just really put a damper on my fall break that one day. But other than that I had fun. Although I must say I'm very jealous of Mrs. McDaniel who got to go to Florida!! She's so lucky!!!
But it is nice to go on vacation and get out of school for awhile, and sleep in. That's my favorite part about breaks--you get to sleep in. I miss it already. :(

Loss

My dearest cousin Jimmy, passed away last month. He was 19 years old and had muscular dystrophy (was in a wheelchair). He was that one person in my family who I was close to. When we were younger we'd always play together, he was more like a best friend an older brother even. At family get togethers it was nice having him around because he was the only person around my age who I can talk to when something was bothering me. Now he's gone forever. He was one of the most nicest kids I think a person will ever meet. The funeral was one of the single hardest things I think I ever done in my life. I'm so used to seeing my family together in really happy times, celebrating holidays and birthdays but this one time was really depressing because we had lost Jimmy. He never once complained about being in a wheel chair. I miss him so much. I never thought I'd miss someone as much as I miss him. I loved him. I know he's in a better place.
R.I.P. Jimmy Marshall.

Stressing!!!

You got to admit we all get stressed out. Lately, I've been feeling really stressed out. I'm tired all the time, and I'm very easily aggitated. So much homework, has been driving me crazy. Plus my mom. She puts so much pressure on me I guess it's because I'm the oldest and she expects me to be perfect. Nobody's Perfect, like the Hannah Montana song says "nobody's perfect/I gotta work it/again and again til I get it right." :D haha. But anyways, I have to give up most of my weekend to babysit...get this...without getting paid!!! I'm going to be sitting at home for about 12 hours on both Saturday and Sunday, with a 12 and 5 year old while step-dad is at work and my mom is in Henderson working at a flu clinic. Now it's at the point where I'm not just stressed out, but I'm MAD!!! I have other things to do than watch some bratty kids. I'm not just exaggerating, they really are a pain in the butt! They never listen to me, they constantly bicker and they run around the house etc. I'm just so angry right now. I have a feeling that this weekend is NOT going to be a good one. I need a chill pill.
