Domino’s

So my family and I played dominos. For the first time ever I won and beat everyone else. Usually I always do so bad.

Swimming

So I went to the gym today and started to swim laps for about 15 minutes. The pool not that big. It only had four lanes and I grabbed one of the last lanes. Two people came in and started waiting for a lane to open. I would say if Michael Phelps saw me he would be laughing. He could swim a bunch of laps in less than five minutes and I remember watching Amazing Race where they teams had to swim the same lap that Michael Phelps had to swim. It took them 15 minutes or more to finish. When I got up my legs felt all gel like and I kept running out of breath.

Tis’ The Season

So I’ve been done with my classes for about a week now. I love the Christmas season, it’s one of my favorite times of year. When it comes to Christmas I’m a control freak. I describe myself being like Clark Griswold who wanted everything to be perfect. I’m glad that my family is together but I just freak out. I want things to be done at a certain time. We put the tree up late because my sister got here last week. I understood that. It makes me mad that my family keeps joking around and making suggestions. Also, my family makes these plans and they say stuff like let’s do this, let’s do that. In my opinion, stick with what you already had planned and quit changing it. I feel like all my family wants to do is sit and talk or read and watch TV. Since the school year started, I have been sitting in this house alone and never get to go anywhere. There are somedays where I don’t complain at all but why does my family not understand how I feel. They don’t want to do anything because there too tired. I’m angry because I don’t know anybody in this town. I’ve been here since July and does my family know how I feel? No, they are more occupied with their jobs to even ask me how I feel. I tell my mom how I feel and she just shuts me down, saying “I don’t want to talk anymore”. I don’t belong at this house or this place. I just want to be somewhere where I belong and and be loved and accepted.

Long Day

So I have had the longest Sunday ever. It started out with going to church, eating lunch,getting my mom a new phone, doing some shopping at the mall, and going to the gym. It was pretty long.

Shopping Rush

So my mom, sister, and I went shopping at the mall this morning for Christmas shopping. We got there early and went to this store called Vanity. This guy who worked there was a really big help. He knew how to put together perfect outfits. That was something I have never had done before.

Two Dresses

So I was watching Say Yes To The Dress on TLC. This bride came in an she was not only looking for one dress but two dresses. She was engaged to this football player who plays for the Atlanta Falcons and already had a child together. Why does a bride want more than one dress? Isn’t it bad enough that the whole wedding is expensive? One dress is fine with me.

Decorated

So the Christmas tree is officially decorated with ornaments. My family has way too many ornaments because we get one every year. Now all it needs is some presents under it.

My Take

So yesterday I watched Teen Mom 2 and I wanted to share my take of one of the girls on the show. Jenelle Evans had her son with this guy who was no good. He drank, did drugs, had no job, and no driver license. He was with her when her son was born but after that he was arrested again. One thing that I didn’t like was now that she had a baby and still lived with her mom, she was probably thinking my moms here so she can take care of my baby while I go out and party. When Teen Mom 2 started her mother sued Jenelle for custody of her son. She wasn’t able to afford a lawyer so she signed away temporary custody. She later met this other guy who was probably just the same as the baby’s father. He did drugs, an didn’t have a job or car. The new boyfriend took advantage of her buy depending on her to drive him places. Jenelle’s mom evicted her many times and allowed her to move back in. Last season Jenelle and Keefer were arrested for trespassing and possession of drugs. Jenelle told her mom that she was never going to see Keefer again but she bailed him out of jail. She was seeing him behind her moms back. When her mom saw her with Keefer, she kicked her out. During the last episode, Keefer constantly did drugs and pushed her that she pressed charges against him. One thing I noticed about Jenelle was that she toon constant advantage of her mom and I never heard a thank you from her mouth. If that was me than my parents would never have allowed me to go out.

It’s Up

So this afternoon while I was upstairs I didn’t realize my dad was home and I got a text from my mom that my dad found the Christmas Tree stand. So I put it up and the tree is already pre-lit. Tomorrow we will put ornaments up when my sister comes to visit tomorrow.

Mad

So I was hoping to put our tree up today and it didn’t happen. We did it so late because my sister will be in town on Wednesday. I guess last year when we took the tree down, we forgot to put our stand in the box with the rest of the tree. We looked everywhere around the house for it but couldn’t find it. I guess we’ll have to look for one at the store.
