Ok I have a perfectly good excuse for why I haven't been blogging for he last few days. Two words, Swine Flu. Julie got it from her friend, Nora and I got it from her. I officially am a fan of the flu shot. One of the main problems about swine flu in my opinion is that it is in someone without you knowing so you catch it. Another problem is that my coach told me to come and watch the practice meet as long as I didn't do anything. So I probably infected half of my gymnastics team. I actually went to gymnastics on the day I got swine flu. In the mddle of bars it started working. I called Dad and he called Mom to pick me up and take me home. So then we had a Wizards of Waverly Place mania.

Nothing really interesting happened yet. Although, Dad started giving us drawing lessons. He printed these sheets out, these sheets had shapes and pictures for us to copy. Then he gave us instructions for drawing a picture. He told us to draw three straight lines that started and ended at the edge of the paper. Then he told us to get a different color marker and make three filled-in circles. Then we had to take a different colored marker and make a curved line that started on one circle and ended at the edge of the pages. Then drew a circle that had to touch another mark, in another color of course. Then we could do what we wanted to the picture. Then we did free drawing. I grabbed my iPod turned on some music and grabbed a brown sharpie with my fist. I drew to the music. Then I stopped the song when I thought I scribbled enough. Then I took a pink marker and drew a divider, of which divided the page into four sections. I then filled in some of the shapes produced by the music. In another region I filled in some shapes blue, in another yellow and in another, green. Then I drew another but I think I let the music run to long.

Other than the drawing lesson the day went on normally.

Us Leibig have definitely entered the iPod generation. Last night Joey and Julie were asking for iPods. I am listening to mine right now. Dad's new school game is Scrabble. I won for the second (all) games. Today I had a tainted win. We have a house-rule that says that we can look in the dictionary. Well, it was the end of the game. I had five tiles - P I X Q N. I looked in the dictionary for "quin," a quintuplet. Dad played "treed" and that killed "quin" so I said "Quind I saw it in the dictionary.". Joey said "I'm challenging that!" I smiled wickedly and opened the dictionary. I knew I had to think of something fast so I said "Wait! Don't you want to know what that means! Quind is a Asian type of curse." Joey said "Never mind." He falsely challenged three other words in the game. Dad looked it up and revealed that quin is not a word. Joey then tried putting down words that were not real. So Dad made the rule that if you look something up in the dictionary that turn you have to put down a real word.

There is a gymnastics dilemma going on. Their might not actually be a level five team! It takes three girls to make a team. So I'm probably will be entering as an individual so no team trophies for me! O.K., so maybe it isn't really a dilemma but I would appreciate a team.

Sorry I haven't been blogging. I had some trouble getting back into it after the vacation.

Dad started school up again. The first day of school hasn't been all that bad but I feel sorry for those who have a terrible first day of school. I woke up at nine fifteen and watched a biology show. It was about the heart. It talked first about how it pumps but note, this is a HIGH SCHOOL show. We stopped a lot so dad could translate complicated words into words that a second grader, Joey, would know. Their was also a little bit of pathology here and there. You know how when someones heart stops beating you have to press on their heart to make it go. Well, before you would actually cut open their side and put your hand up to their heart and squeeze it. This was actually more efficient than the other method but there's a little more mortality in that.


Then dad gave me a pre-algebra I don't get that because if I remember correctly I can do some real algebra. It was really easy.

Now I am blogging. Dad calls this school :~)

This year I get my own office kind of. I intend to turn Thomas's old diaper changing station into a desk. It really is desk like.

I had a pleasant surprise yesterday. Dad gave me Mom's old iPod and Joey got Dad's iPod. Mine can play movies so, if we can Joey and I will be watching Pirates of the Caribbean.

I am going through the drafts that I forgot to publish.

OK, I know that every other Dancy is typing about the family reunion but I am not going to write about it right now. Gymnastics was canceled for a WEEK! I do not know how I'm going to live for the next week. I guess they wanted to give the other girls a break before the practice meet without making them to rusty to compete. This is a catastrophe!
