I feel totally blessed

I LOVE my family. Everyone from my grandparents to even my little sister. I look so forward to family birthday parties and Christmas. My older sister is the nicest and caring person I know. My grandma is so sweat and makes the best cinnamon bread ever! My parents work so hard everyday to give me and my sisters a better life then they had. Sometimes I feel bad when we go out shopping and my mom buys stuff for us and nothing for herself. My dad is so smart and doesn't even give himself credit. You can ask him a question about word and he knows the definition: we call him the walking dictionary. I know that I can go to them for anything. Some people don't have that but I do. My family means so much to me and I don't know what I would do without them:)

Seriously......

Wow Twins. That's all I have to say. So they beat the White Sox series (3 games) and it was amazing, they were in the lead by 1/2 of a game. Now they can't even beat Kansas. Seriously twins you were in the lead and now the White Sox took it back. Yesterday they lost 8-1 and today they lost 4-2. Tomorrow the Twins need to win and the White Sox need to loose. The Twins play a great game with really tough teams but when the teams are okay, the Twins slack and loose. Now I'm very mad at the Twins and they need to win!

Go Twins!

Today was the finale game against the Rays and a must win to keep going if they want to play at the playoffs. The fourth inning was the incentive for the Twins. Winning 4-1 over Tampa Bay at Tropicana Field. Mike Redmond, Joe Mauer, Adam Everett, and Carlos Gomez with some big hits and runs. The Twins trail 2 1/2 games behind the AL leaders The Chicago White Sox. The win ensured the 3 game series against the Twins and the White Sox. Thats very exciting news for Twins fans, like myself, that they have a chance to snatch the title away and go to the playoffs. The series opener against the White Sox starts on Tuesday 23,2008, at 7:10 pm.

When is there too much stress?

Being a teenager this days is stress full. I'm a 10th grader this year and I was so excited about not being "The Freshman". But with the new school year means homework again. With a 7 period day and the class time of 45-50 min. classes. When the teacher really gets into teaching the bell rings. Have you ever have a teacher who yells out the homework right when you walk out the door? That happens a lot to me. So, you finish the school day, ready to go home...wait after school activities. Now you have to go to practice or a game. You have to get your mind ready for that, but you can't forget the math assignment or the history paper due tomorrow. Sometimes you don't get home until 10 or 11 at night. You are so tired when you get home, that you don't even want to think about homework. For swimming we also have 2 morning practices a week and you have to be in the pool at 6 in the morning. But you can't forget about household chores either. Cleaning the room, doing dishes, or farm chores. Also there is athletes that have jobs to save money for college. That's my weekly struggle to push through. So when is there too much stress?

Hi! I'm a swimmer and today I had a meet at Lakeville, MN. It was a fun meet with everything relays and not any individual races. There was a lot of teams there and the pool was tiny. We got stuck on the side with about 10 chairs and our team has 21 people. Right were our stuff was, was were everyone wanted to walk by. I got pushed and shoved and almost fell in the pool. Don't you just hate it when you are trying to get somewhere and its crowed and the people stop right in front of you and start talking? You can't even get around them, I hate that. I didn't swim my personal best and I knew that I could swim better but my body was just not havin' it today. My coaches made a comment saying "are you swimming in molasses?" Thats another thing that I don't like is when you know your having a bad day and then your coaches are making it worse. Well, that was my day today, hope yours was good:)
