Great Weekend But Always Wondering....

This weekend I went to JYIG which for all of you who do not know is the middle school Youth In Government program.  I left on thursday and just got to my grandma's house today.  I'm at my grandma's house because even though I was at JYIG my family was in Arkansas... visiting my little brother.  I can't help but wondering what they are doing right now and how my little brother is doing.  I miss him alot so I just want to know.  He called me and told me he was having fun with the family dog (which my parents brought with them on the drive up) and that there were going out to eat.  I am so happy that he is having a good time and hope that he knows that I wish I was there.

At JYIG I had the chance to present my bill and debate other bills.  I am very glad to say that my bill passed and that I was awarded with runner-up for best statesman.  Best statesman is the award for the person who was respectful and had the most and best debate's.  We played lot's of games at JYIG but my favorite would have to be the rock, paper, scissors showdown.  In this game you would walk up to people tell them your name get their name and challlenge them to rock, paper, scissors.

Then if you won the game they would become part of you "possy" and you would keep playing learning everyone's names until someone won the game.  Which I am also glad to say that I won the first time we played this game and it was very fun to play.  Well that's a breif (very breif) recap of my weekend.  Today normal is happy yet curious.

Just Another Normal Day

Today was an action packed day.  First I woke up and headed to the mall for my little sister's "Bridging to Brownie's" Girl Scout ceremony.  While I was there my awesome aunt (who bought me the last five books in the "Ranger's Apprentice" series a couple days ago) gave me and my two sister's $20 each to spend in the mall. Isn't she cool?  When we got home we all just relaxed. I read my books; I don't know what everyone else did though.  Anyway, at 2:30 we left to go to my mom's best friend's oldest daughter's high school graduation (wow that's a mouthful).  So we got there at 3:00 and watched her graduation.  Well yesterday my dad took me to the army-navy store and let me get dog tags and some other stuff .  He took me because I stayed home that day while my sisters were at the beach and helped my mom clean.  Oh by the way check out this really cool blog I saw (no it's not mine) the adress is: http://thechroniclesoflerr.blogspot.com/.  Today Normal is Fun.

Really... You Call This Normal?

    My Life is hardly ever normal.  Then again it wouldn't be with all the stuff that goes on in my life.  I have been living for six years now with a brother who has RAD.  My family adopted my little brother when he was just six years old, he is now twelve and currently does not live with us.  In case you don't know what RAD is it's a condition that you get from being abused (as he was by his biological parents) and makes it hard for him to have a bond with anyone.  He also has cystic fibrosis which is a lung disease and he has problems with hallucinations that make him sometimes want to hurt my family.
    He is currently in arkansas in his second SIP facility.  My mom says that even though all this is happening a good thing happened too.  My family has been taught about mental illness and we know what it really is.  This blog will cover our life and all that is going on in it.  All I ask of the people who read this is to pray that things will get better in our family and my little brother will be able to come home.
   I live now live with my two sisters and my parents.  I have an older sister who is fourteen and a younger sister who is seven I am thirteen.  My Dad is thirty-nine and my Mom is..... well she stopped aging at twenty-one.  We go up to see my little brother in arkansas once a month.  My Dad has put in for detail at work to see if he can transfer to arkansas and work there for the summer so we can be with my little brother all summer.
    Oh Yeah my mom also has a blog if you want to read her account of our life her adress is: http://learningtoraindance.blogspot.com/, my older sister has a blog to but her blog is on politics if you want to read it her adress is: http://anewgenerationonpolitics.blogspot.com/.  Today normal is non-existent.
