Hello again,

         So 3 days a week I have to get up a 6:00am for my swim practice and on Saturday I have to get up at 6:00am for my swim meet. I love swimming, but come on, its summer don’t kids have the right to sleep in? But, thankfully I got to sleep 3 extra hours today because I had no practice. YAY! My mom took my 16-year-old brother to drivers ed class.  He’s been going every day for the last week and a half.

        I find one of the hardest things to do in summer is finding something to do. I mean there’s only so many times you can watch TV, play a video game, or play on the computer without getting in trouble with your parents. And plus it gets old pretty fast, maybe it’s just me.  this morning I played a video game (Halo Reach, one of the best games EVER) then my mom got home. After looking EVERYWHERE for my blue iPod I checked my e-mail and then my mom and I went on a walk.

        We talk on our walks, today’s talk was about our “Dysfunctional” family. we aren’t the “normal” family. (I don’t think there really is one.) My sister got pregnant at the age of 17 before she was married. She got married 2 days before 7 pounds 7 ounces Kylie was born. I love my niece, she’s adorable and is now 2 years old. My sister and her husband are loving parents and they love each other. And my 23-year-old brother has been smoking and my dad told me he is now smoking tobacco. And did you know that one in every three people who use tobacco die? I love my brother he’s the best guy in the world but he just hangs around the wrong people. But I’m not saying that I’m in the worst family ever, there a lot of people out there who are in worse situations. But anyway, after our walk my mom went to go get my brother from drivers ed.

      I watched the mighty ducks (love that movie). Then my mom made me help clean the house because my 16-year-old brother is turning 17 this Wednesday. Which is tomorrow. The Wednesday after that is my birthday! I’m so excited. Birthday’s are a big thing in my family. Especially with presents, I bought my brother two bobble heads and a iTunes gift card, and to make it confusing, I put then in a jar and stuffed it with socks. so when my brother shakes it won’t make noise. (Pretty clever, huh?)

      Then I did laundry, cleaned my room and starting putting together a 1000 piece puzzle. Then I went on our computer and here I am writing. And the rest of the day…well the possibilities are endless. =) hope you enjoyed my BORING day.

Thanks for reading,

Sincerely,
