Okay...

I just posted that last post because when I tried to post in on NYE, my computer froze. That is why the title is what it is.

Anyways, that day got a lot better. I went to my brother's party and I had so much fun. We played Wii, we watched the ball drop, we played cards, and we had so much fun. The week got so much better. Except for the fact that I had to go back to school, but that was inevitable.

THIS WAS WRITTEN ON NEW YEAR"S EVE!!!

The past few weeks have been horrible.

1. The first alarms went off in the house while my family was on vacation so the firemen had to break into the house. We have to get the dry wall fixed, buy a new door, and we just replaced all of the firealarms.
   
2. My dad was sick for Christmas and the 26th. I did not even see him on Christmas because he stayed at his mom's house while I was with my other grandparents.
3. Today my 12-year-old sister found out she has strep throat and my 6-year-old sister has staph all through out her body. They think it might be the resistant strain. It also turns out that my dad has strep.
   
4. Today is my brother's 18th birthday and we were going to have a huge party at our house (like we do every year), but now we have to move the party to his friend's house. My sister with staph thinks the whole thing is her fault (it kind of is) and has been crying since she got back from the doctor's office.

On top of that, my dad refuses to go to the doctor to get a percreption. If he doesn't, it is just a short time before the rest of the family falls ill. I also have a splitting headache and I think that I may be coming down with streph too. The last day of the year has been horrible so far. I hope this is not an omen for what is to come next year.

Hmmm...

Yes, I did get everything done that I needed to on Tuesday, just not too well. I made a 60 on my Physics test - which I am retaking on Monday afternoon - , a 85 on my History test - but I used some old extra credit points to bring it up to a 90 -, and I made a 87 on my Spanish test.
Friday night was the last game of the season against Boyd. Boyd won. The score was something like 48-24. I was bad. The worst part was that it was my brother's last time ever playing football on an organized team like this. He didn't even want to leave the field. When the game was over I saw the biggest guy on the team come up to the bottom of the stands to talk to someone and he was crying. Tears were streaming down his face. He was trying to smile, but it was a fake "I'm trying to make this a happy moment" type of smile.
Since the lake was flooded this summer, our city didn't have a fireworks show (the fireworks are shot off from an island that was under water and there was no "beach" for people to sit on and watch the fireworks). So instead of a 4th of July fireworks show, TC had a veteran's day fireworks show. Tonight was also my brother's friend's birthday party. My brother has hung around with these same friends since middle school, and all of our families are really tight. Anytime anyone had a party, everybody goes. Anyways, it was his 18th birthday party, his real birthday is on the 14th, and my whole family went. This family just built a new house right on the lake, so we watched the fireworks from the balcony. The view was perfect. Then Jenna, Nick, Shannon, Mary and I (plus Elizabeth, but she is only 5 and really didn't do anything) played ping-pong while the guys did who-knows-what. We ate dinner, did cake and presents, and then the guys went outside, while us little brother and sisters went upstairs and danced to club music that KissFm was playing. We had such a good time. Nick really didn't dance, but kind of slept for most of the time. He is not really one for dancing. Jenna, Shannon and I just danced. None of us really have any skills, so we tried to white-girl dance. It was really bad. It was nothing dirty, just stupid looking. Then Nick called this person who had sent me this text that read "Keep running from me". The number that texted me is (972)-464-6661. I live in the 972 area. The person who answered sounded weird so I made Nick hang up before he said anything else. The guys downstairs were doing some pretty funny stuff. They were fake fighting, but one of the guys makes these really real sounding fight sounds. Then one guy gave some of the other guys back rubs. They formed a back rubbing train. That same guy also sat down next to some other guy and just starting holding and caressing his hand. It was pretty funny, or maybe you just had to be there.
