Guess what I did at gymnastics? I hurt my foot! Yay! (sarcastic.) So yeah it kinda hurts, but I promise it didn't hurt at first. I didn't even know it was bleeding.
So now I have a pound of tape on my foot and I can't really walk on it because it stings from the alchohol. But yeah, it's fine.
Hopefully it stops bleeding before Winter Blast...

Oh!
Did I tell you Sunday was my mommy's birthday? It's Tuesday now, but happy birthday Mom! And she sadly is not here to read this, but at her job, she reads my blog sometimes, in fact, she reads almost all of my blogs, so I hope she sees this!
You might have guessed why I wasn't at church on Sunday according to weather. But it was a relaxing day with Mom!
And the fourth was Charity's birthday. She's sixteen now! Yes, she was hosting a sweet sixteen party, but there had to be a bad storm that day, and even her friends that could literally WALK to our house couldn't make it. These were all school friends. Jackie's mom didn't want her to come because of weather, Rozina lives quite far and the snow was bad, Valerie is my neighbor that lives (LITERALLY!) ten seconds away. Yeah, I've even counted. If I walk, that's about fifteen seconds from my house. But if I'm really excited and bored, I'm there literally ten seconds after hanging up the phone! She couldn't come because she had a 99.2 fever.
Charity's gift from me was to get another ear piercing at Claires, since the last time she pierced her ears was when she was like, six months old. Then on the seventh I got my mom some crystals shaped like hearts to use as paperweights from Marshall's. Then I got her a four-pack of gum, but I had to take JUST ONE for myself! And lastly, she also got not one, but TWO lip gloss duos! So really, she got FOUR lipglosses from me! (I tried to make a bargain, but she's not giving away those glosses any time soon!)

Homeschooled No More
My parents homeschool me and obviously they must really like it because I have not put a foot inside of a middle school yet. I would say I haven't even entered a school's hallways, but that's false, because I've been to Wayne for tennis matches and choir concerts.
But today---actually YESTERday---is the day I decide to be private schooled.
I love where I take gymnastics, and being homeschooled, I only get like, three pages of homework per week in the three school setting classes I take, Bible History w/ Ms. Rhonda, American Civics History w/ Ms. Robin, and Science/Biology w/ Ms. Maida.
But here is the change I want to happen: I'm going to a gymnastics school.
Okay, I'm unofficially going, but I'm gonna get my parents to have me apply to a nearby school that is, whatever school I find.
I chose a gymnastic school because on YouTube, the channel OlympicDreamsTexas, there's these girls who are at the gym 30 hours per week in level 7 and up! That's only three levels higher than me, and I'm trying to move up to level 5 again! So these nine-year-old girls at the youngest and eighteen-year-old girls at the oldest have a classroom in their gym with one certified public school teacher teaching them! Although, the girls who are public schooled go to the gym at 4:15-7:30. My mom thinks that's too long to be practicing, but how? These girls are the future United States Gymnastics Team. These girls are the next Mary Lou Retton.
Yes, if I hear a YES! I will miss Teens' Night Outs and FAITH meetings and being with my friends Becca, Leah, and Kayla, (Maria is my friend too, but I see her on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and sometimes Saturdays!) but I really would like to say I at least made it to the Olympic Trials, or Junior Olympics.
And check out www.yourblog-gymnastics.blogspot.com and listen to my new playlist with new songs like:
Ben
Pirates Amber
Shawn Johnson 2008 (August Rush music)
and old songs like:
I'll Find My Own Way (my level 4 song, please listen!)
Pink Panther (Level 5 song)
and National Treasure Suite!

Back Tucks At Home
I am required to have a back tuck (also known as the back-flip) to move up to level 7 in two years, maybe one. So I am doing drills at home. Here is a peek at what I'm doing!
Lay down on the couch and kick over
Jumping on the trampoline & jump roping at the same time.
I should have a full in level 9, so here's what I'm doing: (a full is a layout, which is a back tuck with straight legs, with a 180 degree twist in the air, just watch the girls at the Olympics)
Back tuck drills
Half jumps
Full jumps
Leg-tapping
Rebound jumps
Round-offs--- so important!

It was a snowy day on Christmas Eve. I remember when McKenna told me that she wanted her wedding to be on a snowy day, on Christmas. This was no wedding though, it was her funeral. I'm sure McKenna had hoped she'd marry someone before death, and I thought I could marry her, but, hey, I'm still alive and she isn't, so I don't know about that.
Her funeral had just ended a minute ago, and everyone was crying. Especially her family. Her dad was bawling his eyes out, her younger sister, Chyna, was silently crying, and her older sister, Kaleigh, was comforting their dad. McKenna's coffin was wide open, so you could see her face. She still had that faint little smile on her face, clear complexion, and shimmery face with blue eyeshadow, her favorite as Kaleigh told me, Coral Snow from Eby's Beauty Store down the street. Her pink highlights were not in her hair anymore, but her hair was just brown, with curls from Heaven.
HEAVEN! Maybe that's why she's smiling! Jeremy was not a Christian, and notice, he had his eyes tightly shut, but McKenna's were peaceful. His lips were frowning, while hers were in a grin. But then that also meant...
HELL.

AWWW!
You should just see my dog right now! I put her outside for like, the longest time and she has a leash out there because one of our fences came down because of Ike, and so, she tangles herself around the play set, (swings, slide, bars) and then around our relaxation swings, pulls the relaxation swings and leaves what looks like her getting caught in a booby-trap.
So then, when she got inside, I wrapped a warm (and my own I got for my ninth birthday that I really like!) blanket around her and made a cute little bow tie, so she looks like Little Red Riding Hood! I know, cute, right? But then, just as I WOULD HAVE taken a picture with my new camera, Lexi shakes it off! And I thought she loved that blanket! Dogs are so crazy...

ESPYs Breakfast
Okay, so Frosted Flakes cereal has this sports sweepstakes that I really wanna join to win a trip to the ESPYs breakfast in Los Angeles. I mean, it's the ESPYs WITH breakfast! What's the ESPYs? I don't know, but it sounds delicious! (I think it has something to do with ESPN)
