Wait, I'm gonna go get some jello...... I got the jello. So, today is the second week back to school ever since vacation and I am getting back on top of everything. My sleeping patterns are coming together and I don't get headaches as often, but it's the end of the second quarter therefore it is crunch time and all the teachers are throwing projects, reports, tests, and homework at us. Then we drop it all and they point and laugh. It's pathetic. Eventually, it will the beginning of quarter 3 and it won't be so hard to control my school work. Thank God....well, this is gonna sound redudant and not make sense, but Thank God for God because I can always ask him to take some of the weight off of me and I can put all of my worries and problems in his hands. He always takes care of them to my liking. I have this little flippy note thingy (if you know what I mean) and everyday has a quote relating to little reminders like "Always speak kind words...no one resents them," and "Contentness is not the fulfillment of what you want but the realization of what you already have,". Those are two of my favorites. Well, todays happened to relate to what I have been doing most which is putting my life, heart, worries everything in God's hands. The quote is: "God always gives His best to those who leave the choice with Him." Funny how that happens to be the quote of the day. So as you can see I changed my diary and I'm liking it. *Jello Break* My To Do List// When Brooke Gets Home-Take A Shower After Shower-Finish Math Problem After Math Problem-Do Some Reading Fall Asleep Before Ten Hopefully I won't wake up at all during the night. If I wake up in the middle of the night I'm not energized in the morning. Bajabbers! I need a haircut. I saw Nick this weekend. He came over while my sister and I were at our Dad's. When he came over, we waited for Sophia and then we made some movies. Actually, only Nick and I did. Ever since Nick and Val, Soso, and I got really close, I've been getting stuck with Nick. Not in a bad way, I love him, but I never see Sophia. At the mall I only spent time with him, and we were all surprised when we sat down to talk and we realized that we had split in two pairs. We've all decided that next time, I spend time with Sophia because even she admited that she misses me and I miss her. It's weird, because we see eachother, we just don't spend time with eachother. Nick ended up spending the night but he really didn't want to because he would have to sleep out on the couch. Now, mainly someone would think "Well, of course. He's a boy." but he's my cousin (which I'm sure I mentioned in earlier entries). The whole situation is so stupid. I ended up getting pretty argumentive and practically yelling at Nick because he kept complaining "I want to go home...I hate it here...let me have you cellphone, I want to call my mom...I don't want to stay here, I'll have to leave at 8:00 in the morning and I'm a grouch in the morning...yadda yadda..." Eventually I told him to stop being a baby but I was pretty much yelling at him. It wasn't because I was mad at him. I was mad at Traci. Traci (my evil stepmom) kept coming in and taking things like pillows and comforters off of my bed for Nick. The way I looked at it is, if Nick could just sleep in here, I wouldn't have to go without my comforters and pillows. I took it out on Nick which I know I shouldn't have done. I'm sure Nick forgives me. He forgives easily and is easy to forgive. It's a win-win situation. Nick spoke the truth though in the midst of his complaining: "I don't see why I have to sleep alone in the living room. Whether I'm sleeping in here or out there, I'm just SLEEPING!" I feel so bad for him. He was on the verge of tears. Not to make him sound like a baby, cause he really isn't. It just ruins the entire sleepover to know that Nick was unhappy. Vanessa♥
