fighting family battles

it started my sr. year in high school. i decided in january that i wanted to work the summer tec (which was the last one i could work) instead of playing in my last summer state softball tourny. they didn't take it will....to tell ya the truth....they were pissed.

tonight i call jill...you know doing that big sister thing...seeing how she's holding up since the tec weekend. and the answer was not good. (if your reading this say a little prayer for her....or heck give her a call) the biggest stresser that she told me about was mom and dad. last night dad had yelled at her for talking to some of her tec friends on the phone. she had a crappy day and really needed to talk to them. which in my eyes is understandable....unlike my dad. he yelled at her and when she tried to explain he didn't listen. then i guess mom told her that if there was any softball conflicks the same weekend as tec she couldn't work the next one. the second she told me this i knew i had to make a phone call to the folks. my heart was broke for her. i called my house. dad answered, and i told him what was up. he didn't want to hear it. i got so mad at him for not listening to me i started to cry. i know how hard it was for me to tell them years before. and i knew jill wouldn't be able to do it on her own. it's like he didn't want to hear what i said.

how can we make them see how much tec means? we don't want to cry anymore tears. i just want them to see it from our side.

one's down fall

tonight me and jill were invited to go to a worship service with a friend of jill's from high school. well her friends name is savanna....and she also invited rachel. through out the night i saw this girl break down and just give her self to the lord. she had told me that she needed this more than anything....as the night went on i saw why. first i saw her break down crying....then as she was trying to make sure her makeup still looked good i saw her cigarrets in her bag....and come the end of the night she got really warm and pushed up her sleeves, where i saw all the cuts on her arm. i'm just praying that god is got one of his best angels with her. i know jill was also going to see if she wanted to tec.

will you give me a jump

so.....here i was in owatonna ready for a great new years party/lock in. we decided that we would drive in the crappy weather when it was light out instead of when it was dark. well i guess it wasn't ment to be, when we got a phone call saying it was cancled. so i brought myself...my little sister and a good friend of ours i'd like to call her amy anderson down to mr. matt reiter's. (aka-my matt) weather was not gettting any better so cindy told us to stay and so did dean and you better believe it dani did too. so we stayed there since we no longer had any plans for the night. we ended up back in owatonna for a party at ann monsons. party was pretty good. didn't know a whole lot of people but it was all good...i still saw a few faces that i knew. then there was the snowball fight...and the run to walmart for some dry pants for the other girls... jill, amy, kyree. and who can forget matt walking around in the robe. well anyways when we left for matts again my car started being stupid. radio stopped working...heater stopped working....head lights started to go dim.....but we made it. in the morning dean had to charge my battery...well that got us about 7 miles outside of mankato. lucky for me a nice man gave us a jump and we made it back home safe. it was a great time. well all but the no heat...no radio...no blinkers. o well...my car is fixed now...300 dollors later.

what a way to start off a new year.

new years res.-try and keep in touch with more people......so if i start to slip up on this one you guys have to help me out...talk to me.
