Dear *rain_drop*, I love you very much! You're the best sister I have ever had or could have. I like watching movies with you and doing stuff with you. Love, *sister* still don't feel up to much talking about my feelings yet..don't know why..but i'm guessing you can imagine how this made me feel. my sister asked me when we were walking in church tonight if i saw the note on my bed. i didn't. i pretty much don't see my bed til night when i sleep in it. i spend the evenings in the basement, on here...over by the tv..or just doing hw. so i just went upstairs to get something and i looked over and i saw the note on my bed...and here it is. it's sweet and at the same time it struck me as odd that she just felt like writing me a note...i dunno...i'll write one back and stick it where she'll see it in the morning. it just made me realize how much my sister must look up to me..i mean, if i had an older sister-i'd look up to her...haha..i guess it was just really touching..that’s all i can think to say now...anyways... tonight i saw michelle and she asked me if i'd like to come over friday and just hang out and watch some movies or something and i said sure. so it's not babysitting this time, just hanging out..cause she said they missed me last week...so that's nice. i'm finally doing stuff...so it shouldn't really matter who it's with..only it does...i would rather hang out with them then some teenagers my age..but i'm trying to give them a chance..maybe...haven't talked to em..nor seen em... and that's the end of this blog...keeping em short is kinda nice huh? no i just have economics to study for...test tomorrow..economics is soooo boring. and i still have to work on revising my personal piece. oh well, friday's almost here...now i have something to look forward to. |

on friday i went over to michelle's to have a movie night as riley called it with him and his brother blake. so we went to go pick out a movie, he picked rescue heroes. i still have no clue what it is but it's his new obsession. he was glued to the tv the whole time and michelle and i were down there with him but we were just talking. it was nice. i played a little with blake too but he went to bed early. riley got to stay up til 10:30 cause he took a nap so he could spend more time with me...as he put it. so once he was in bed i stayed for a little while longer..just caue i didn't wanna go home yet. i got home around 11:40..it was dark, lights were out, mom was in bed sleeping...i thought it was kinda funny cause i never know if i have a curfew or not and apparently not. or maybe it's cause she knew i wasn't hanging out with a bunch of teenagers...i don't know. but she usually waits up for me...and in the morning i had to work and she usually is up early...but not this time. so i left for work while everybody was still in bed. and i didn't see any of em til i came home from work. my mom said she was just too tired to wait up for me and she didn't even hear me come in. i still think it's funny...isn't that what most kids try to get away with? coming in late? i could have stayed out later and she wouldn't have known...it's just i knew i had to work early in the morning. so i also found out i won't be going on the girl's retreat this year...yah, i'm bummed out about that cause it'd be my last year to go and that's one trip i really like cause it's just girls and the girl sponsors...it's nice. i don't have to work the week it is, the 25..i have that week and the week before off...but since i'm still new i'm required to go to the training that sat. from 8-4. i'm supposed to go to two trainings and the first i went to before the trimester..and in order to keep tutoring for another trimester i have to go to this...i haven't told anyone i can't go to the girl's retreat yet...i cried on the way home from work... tonight i didn't go to church again cause jen asked me if i wanted to babysit for their small group again...they were having a big superbowl party...which i think football is stupid but oh well..haha..so she picked me up and we went to...michelle's..cause that's where they were having the party. riley and blake were excited to see me again..for the second time that weekend. i was the only babysitter this time, there were 6 younger kids and two older ones...they were fine for the first couple hours but then one by one they kept escaping up the stairs to where the adults were...and then there was alot of crying cause they were all getting very tired...so on the way home when they put reagan in her carseat, she was out as soon as they started driving...but i had a good time. and tomorrow is school...again...but i had a pretty good weekend...oh yeah and yesterday i was took a nap around 5 and slept til 11 at night...so since it was so late i just got in bed and didn't wake up til my mom woke me up at 8 in the morning for church..it was weird, i slept for 15 hours. gosh, i must've needed it..that's around 3 nights of sleep for me..and it's only 11 now and already i'm getting tired again..it's weird, it use to be so hard for me to sleep and now i'll lay down with the tv on and say to myself i'm going to take a nap...and then i'll be out...or even at night..it's pretty easy to fall asleep now...i just hope it stays that way cause it's kinda nice to be able to sleep... welp, gotta do my homework now so i can get some sleep...whew those kids really did wear me out.~

so last night was a hard night for me..after a couple weeks i decided to email val and over the past few days i had been thinking i just want to give up on this devo and everything again..which is why i waited to say anything..but last night i just felt like i should try again..one more time...what i keep telling myself. so it felt good to get that out and relieve the tears that have been inside me... so i have been going to sleep pretty easily but i guess facing my emotions kept me awake last night. i was a mess...my thoughts overwhelmed me..tears were pouring from my cheeks...i couldn't breath laying down my nose was so stuffed up so i had to sit up...and the pain...my heart..it just hurt so much. and then i started thinking about the dgroup..and i'm wondering what they are doing..i started thinking things like i'm not good enough to be in that group, here they are-a group of girls my age who are in this close-knit group..they encourage each other, they do their devos..quiet times..they pray..they rely on god...and they also have fun and go places together..as a group. i guess i was just feeling really left out last night. like they haven't gone through the difficulities in their spiritual life as i have so they are better than me...or the fact that, when my life got so hard...when god started becoming distant...i still can't help thinking when i look back on it..that they sorta abandoned me too...i mean val told me she'd stick with me...and that's been shaky..but if i'm willing she's still willing..but what about the rest of em? when i left the group for the most part they just seemed to back off..that's where the not good enough comes in. like i can watch them from a distant but no i will never heal enough to be accepted into that fun, happy, loving group. sometimes i just wish really hard that they'll slip..like hard or something..and that's so wrong of me..but i know there's times when they forget or don't do their devos every week..but which one of them is stuck in a life of depression..which one seriously wants to hurt themself..which is contemplating suicide. which one feels left out and lonely...abandoned by god. geeze. that's just the thoughts that were swirling around in my mind last night..how life is soo unfair, which we all know..but yeah they got problems...i know...it's just i don't know what they are...cause i don't talk to them. (thought i'd try out the new smilies...) ![]() so after awhile i just got sick and tired of all the tears that i got up to blow my nose and get a drink of water..and when i layed back down i told myself i wouldn't cry anymore that night..just try to get some sleep..cause it was way past midnight..and so i did.. this morning after my will to keep doing the devo because maybe i feel there's something important there..i don't know..but first period we had a free day so i did it in there...it was quite interesting..it was talking about how some ppl skip the love relationship with god and think doing things for god is good enough..which is me in a way. i volunteer so much time with the preschoolers at church, which that makes me happy, but at the same times it's like i'm thinking ok, i'm doing this..it's a good thing..but yet i don't have that relationship with god. sure i talk to him sometimes...or maybe i just talk to myself alot..am i really talking to him? i don't know. but that's all good stuff in the devo and yeah, i can relate to it..but then what? where do i go from there? how do i apply it to my life and make it really work..and then when i can't figure these things out and when this gets too frustrating for me..that's when i quit and give up...and i just want things to work out..i really do. tuesday jen and i were supposed to get together and go to some church’s gym to work out but she was held up at work so she cancelled on me. i was looking forward to it...but then i saw her at church tonight and she said she's planning on going tomorrow so maybe we can then...i think that'd be nice.oh yeah, val did email me back telling me we need to talk so call her..and i guess i should do that..maybe now? or go study for my physics test...or work on my transactive piece for school..ahh...see homework becomes my excuse for not doing anything. i need to stop doing that too. and i hope i can go to sleep right away tonight...last night was soo horrible...blah.

so last wed. was the last time i really blogged..now it's monday..so after i blogged wed. i went ahead and called val and we talked for awhile. to sum it all up (haha..i know you want all the details) she had told me that she did see an improvement in me which i don't think i've ever really heard her say before. and she told me that she still loves me and was never angry with me it just frustrated her that i wasn't doing what i was supposed to..so it was good. and she told me that she was really glad i wrote her the email but the reason she told me to call her back was.....of course, so i can work on TALKING!!! yea! go communication. blah. relationships...communication...opening up..it's all a bunch of junk to me..nah..it's just really hard to do. in school today a girl found something out..don't know what..but it was in physics when she came back in the room and she was crying...really hard and like shaking so the teacher took her out in the hall and was talking to her..giving her a break from the classroom...still don't know what was up i just though of the times when that teacher had asked me what was wrong and i'd just shake my head..and here this girl was crying in front of the whole class...i just thought how i could never ever be like her. which in some ways that's good..but in some ways it's not..it's just that part of me that wants nobody to know what's going on in my life..that wants to keep everyone out..away..at arm's length for fear of something?? what? maybe getting close..getting hurt. idk. so friday i was trying to go to the movies with T and K..and yes, i asked em..but it didn't work out...yeah, i almost went to the movies but i didn't. so my mom and me rented the movie flightplan and that was a really good movie..my mom even liked it..it's not a scary movie, more like an intense drama or something but i keep getting closer and closer to getting her to watch scary movies..or at least mysteries. sat. was my last day of work for the trimester, 9 week period. i get this sat. off and next sat i have to go to training from 8-4. boring...but i want to work another 9 weeks and in order to do that i have to go to the training. sat. evening i went to school cause my english teacher was supposed to be there and help us revise our transactive pieces. so i got there and the room was full of ppl...and she was trying to talk but nobody was listening or they were just making smart remarks. yah, she was stressed..so someone told her to say a cuss word and that'd make her feel better..so she did and then said, it didn't work..then some guys said something else and she gave them the middle finger..so i was like..um yeah..great example. and i thought she was a good teacher and everything...i was actually liking her a whole lot..up to this point. but i guess that's why they say everyone will let ya down at one point cause nobody's perfect. so she looked at my piece for like 5 seconds and told me i needed some physics equations in there somewhere cause that's what mine's about and they she went on to the next person. so i sat at a computer and tried researching some more and finding stuff to put in..but after like half an hr. i was just tired of it and left. oh and i cried on the way home. i just wanted some help with my paper, she didn't even read the rest of it..and since it's a 100 percent or a zero..i kinda wanted everything to be right..but whatever. so i thought i'd just email her when she wasn't so busy...she never got back to me. turns out our pieces aren't due til tomorrow cause they are "in horrible shape" and that's why she just quit answering emails..well for those of us who try...she should help us..but i guess not. so i really don't care about this piece anymore. i worked on it enough... sunday was church..fun..fun...we had more 4 year olds in the class than in a long time. carlee was actually there, i'd been missing her...so that was fun and then second service i was put in with the threes cause they had a lot of kids. there was already two workers in there..but they kinda needed the extra help...so there's a 15 kid max in the classrooms and we reached that..we had to turn kids away cause we weren't allowed to take any more. safety laws or something...don’t worry, they still got to come..they just had to check in at the other 3 year old classroom..so that was fun, trying to keep 15 3 year olds under control with the toys, craft, and snack time...ah..it was still fun. oh and i saw michelle and she had something fo me.... it was that bible magazine thing of the new testament..she was talking about how she stayed up til 1 in the morning or something one night reading it and she couldn't put it down...she thought it was something i'd really like so she got me one..i thought that was really sweet..i'm starting to really love these adults... haha..yeah. so i did pick it up when i was at home and started reading some of it..so, it's one way to get me to start reading the bible again.sunday night was the first time i went in two weeks cause i had been babysitting..so it was the first time i saw brit since i gave her "the letter". she started talking about how she's missed me and she was glad to see me that night. she even told me where they were going out to eat that night and asked me if i "felt up to going" i thought that was a nice way to ask me than..ah, oh well..i said no i didn't feel like it but thanks for asking. then i asked if we could get together to do something too since we have all these days off school coming up. she said sure..guess i'll see what happens. on my way out val told me i need to get my girls retreat form in so i had to tell her i couldn't go. after i was done explaining why and everything she asked if i'd go if it was just for that friday and if she could arrange to get me back..so i said yeah..that'd be cool if i could go, just for one day..i dunno how..but hey, i might be going now. i never went to work out with jen. i tried calling her, it seems like everytime i do...nobody's home. but at least she has an answering machine now. i can leave stupid messages on it...hehe..i didn't see her at church sunday since i wasn't in her daughter's class. so i'm trying to think if there's anything else i have to say..hmm...oh only that i wish i would have updated while this stuff was happening instead of now..because if i would have done it better i would have better conveyed more of my emotions and therefore felt better...haha..i'm about to go to counseling today...so..oh yeah, i do have something else but i guess that can wait..it's about the whole month and valentine's day..and junk...hopefully i will have time later to write about that. ![]() |
