Send help... too tired 24/7

Hello! Wow, this has been a while. I think it's been close to a year! Most likely nobody will see this, but sorry if you do, this is gonna be a pretty long entry. Plus, I have quite a bit going on/about to start.

So, first, back to talking about dance. I'm now in a routine that I really enjoy called Scarecrows up in Stitches. It's mixture of the song by Fergie, Clumsy, and Stitches by Shawn Mendes. It's a character jazz routine and there are 9 of us. We have been to 2 competitions now, 1 still coming up in April. At the first one, we got a gold, 1st in our division, and 2nd overall. We were so happy. It was awesome and we actually did really well. At the second competition, we got a platinum (which is better than gold), 1st in our division, and 2nd overall. What I'm upset about was we were actually supposed to get first because the first place group was actually an advanced group instead of the performance level. That basically means they were doing aerials, back handsprings, and back tucks (back flips). That's not fair. :( Yes, indeed I am a sore loser ;P  Also, I had a competitive solo this year. I only performed at the 2nd competition, but it was awesome. I didn't do so well, but I've never done a solo before, not even just a recital one. I got a gold, 3rd in my division, and 10th overall. Not great, but I'm proud.

Next, time to talk more about swim. I just got done with junior high swim (again) and am excited for summer swim. We had a new member at summer swim last year, but joined junior high swim last year. Her name is Haley, but my weird friend, Mary, nicknamed her Failure. She's not a bully and they're actually great friends, but she calls her Failure. We all look weird yelling,"Go Failure," when she swims (especially since Mary's dad is the coach) but we got used to being looked at weirdly. I've done a lot better though, meaning that this year, I shaved off time on a lot of my events! :)

I'm also about to starting volleyball soon. Because I don't really know what to talk about with it yet, other than some of my best friends aren't joining. As in, 3 out of 4 of them aren't joining. I'm kinda upset about that, but what can I do. :(

I also have the fair coming up soon. I have decided to name them after Stranger Things/one of the best shows you will ever watch. There is some cussing, but it's worth it. If you are able to watch Netflix and haven't watched it yet, then stop reading my blogs right now and go watch it. Anyways, there names with be (Drew's) Nncy and Steve with also (mine) Dustin and Eleven. They're SOOO cute!!!

Other things that have kept me busy are homework, flute practice, reading and YouTube.

I'm on spring break this week, this is the final thing, I'm going on a Disney cruise to the Bahamas!!! I'm sooo excited!!! I leave for the airport to go to the dock in Florida at, like, 2:30-3:00 am. Anyways, I'm worried I'll end up bragging with out meaning to, so I'll stop now. No joke, that's an actual problem for me. I don't mean to!

Oh, and I'm getting braces for the next 2 years!!! That's cool and crazy for many reasons.

I better be done. I'm tired of typing. I"ll figure out another time to blog again later. Bye for now!

My Now VERY Busy Lifestyle

Hello! I have not blogged in a long time and it feels weird to do it again. That made me think about how I have done sooo much since the last time I blogged. So that is what I'll be talking about tonight.

      So, most important think I'm doing right now is dance. I'm now a competitive dancer. I don't remember if I've mentioned that before. Sorry if I did. Oops! Anyways, I have been to my first competition already and it was amazing. Our team got an Elite Gold which in dance terms, basically means "silver". Why they don't stick to bronze, silver, gold ratings, I don't know but whatever. In our division, we also got 3rd and I'm very excited. Sure, it was out of 5 dance routines but I still like to bask in my glory. It's nice to know that you're good at something. :p
      Next, I'm in Junior High Swimming. Well, technically I just got done with Junior High Swimming. But summer swim starts soon so I don't like to think that I'm done. It was stupendously fun and amazing to be with all of my friends. If you know swimming well, then you know what a medley relay is. I am in it with my friends, Lainey, Alydia, and Mary. They are so much fun and they are all some of my very best friends! But we think it is hilarious that in this exact order are: Lainey; backstroke, Alydia; breaststroke, Mary; butterfly, me (Erin);freestyle. Now if you have not realized, if you say each one of our first initials, it spells "LAME". Nobody meant to do this and it was just a hilarious mistake. Now when we have home meets, they announce us as "the lame girls". When they say it, every one of up pumps our fists in the air and yell,"LAME, LAME, LAME!!!" ;)
      I guess I'm not as busy as I thought, but it feels like I'm so busy. I guess I have a new puppy, Gingerbread (Ginger, or Gingy), and I take care of her a lot (sort of) when I can. It's hard with all of my school work, too. Whenever I do my homework and sit down for 1 solitary second, and there she is trying to eat my pencil out of my hand while I'm flailing my arms yelling and screaming at her to please give me mercy for 1 minute. Sadly, she usually wins and gets a new pencil to chew on. Yay. :(
       That's all for now! Hope you enjoyed reading my blog again! Thanks so much!

Miscellaneous things I felt the need to talk about

Hey! I have not written in a long time. If anyone likes me sorry about that. So today I have A LOT to catch up about. So basically while I wasn't blogging, I have lost 3 pets, gotten two pets, lost one of the two pets I'd gotten. I lost my 1 of my calves, Flareon (Flare), my Yorkie, Paducah Joe (Dukie or Duke), and my kitten Flurrie. (P.S. Flurrie's brother Lord Creamsickle lll (Cream or Creamy) is still alive). I also got two hermit crabs, Shelley (female) and Sheldon (male). Sheldon died just a few weeks ago. He was molting. We didn't know any better. RIP Sheldon the hermit crab. :(
I also just have to say, I know kids really don't get stressed like adults do, but to be honest, I feel like I'm doing just as much work or more. I have something going on EVERYDAY. I've  now joined school swimming, dancing, gymnastics, piano, and crops judging. It gets pretty tiring!
If you don't now, I'm now a fifth grader. So, I will be talking more about crops judging. Sorry, but I love it! My scores this year have been not-so-good. Purdue-2nd place (not terrible), Southmont-5th (worst I could possibly do P.S. embarrassing enough, I cried) Area- 4th (still pretty darn bad). My hope is to get 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place. A girl can dream. But still, for a 5th grader, this is about impossible. Wish me luck! Hope you enjoyed my blog post and comment if you have any other topics you want y to answer or talk about. Have a good weekend and I'll blog soon again. :^)

Pigs

Okay, so if anyone knows what the 4-H fair is, that's what I will be typing about. I will most likely type more about it in July when it starts. But I'm mostly talking about it right now because my family will be getting the pigs soon. In fact we are going down to check them out down in Roachdale. We've heard that they have a both a gilt (girl pig) and a barrow (boy pig) Landrace (which basically looks like a regular pink pig but they have really long bodies).They have all kinds of them. Plus Drew (my brother) and I have decided to name our pigs after the T.V. show "The Amazing World of Gumball" if anyone has ever seen that show. So I am having Gumball and Anais so that leaves him with Darwin and either Penny or Nichole, we are still trying to discuss it so we can heave the perfect name. The first year,Drew's pigs were Leanord and Sheldon from "The Big Bang Theory". Next there was Snookie and The Sitch from "The Jersey Shore". After that there was Herp and Derp and that one was just for fun. Then just last year I got my first pigs so Drew, my Dad, and I all LOVE the T.V. show "Gravity Falls", so that meant I had Wendy and Soos and Drew had Dipper and Mabel. And if you watch the show you will know what I mean when I say that they look nothing alike. For those of you reading this that have no idea even what I'm talking about, on the show Dipper and Mabel and twins. Well hope you liked reading this. Bye! :)

CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's 3 days until Christmas and I'm bouncing off the walls. I have already gotten some of my presents from my dad's side of the family. I got a suit case from Justice that is rainbow colored cheetah print spots all around and it's lime green on the inside and some spots on the outside. The other thing was a nerf rebelle  bow and arrow set. Its really cool. I have only had it a day and I have already got one stuck in the gutter. We got it down, but my dad wasn't to happy with me since he had to get it down.
One other thing I'm exited for is that on Christmas, I get see my family. Mostly because my cousins live in Illinois, so that's one of the only times I get to see them every year.

Well, that's about everything I really have to write because I really don't think I can say anything else.


                                                                     Bye! Thanks for visiting my blog and reading it!

Fall Break

So this is one of the last days until fall break. We have a very buisy days planned. I get Thursday and Friday with out my brother or my dad. My mom and I get to be home together with out anybody else and Halloween. Then, I actually don't think we have anything on Saturday. Next, on Sunday through Monday, mom and I are going to Champaigen, Illinois to just have fun. Sometimes our family just goes to close places and we have fun. Like last year, we went to Lafayette and got a hotel and just had fun doing many different things.

Crops Judging

This means nothing about this subject, but soccer just ended today and I'm :(. But I'm talking about crops judging . I love FFA and my dad was an FFA teacher and wants Drew (my brother) and I both to do a lot of different things, like Drew is doing soils judging for his first time this year and for the last 2 years he did live stock, but he decided he didn't want to this year. He also does crops judging, just like I do and he has won 1st place sometimes. My biggest people to try to beat will be Drew and a girl named Holly, who I don't know her last name. For the first time ever, I got all of my seeds right in practice. Well I hope you liked hearing about my crops judging stories. If you did please comment down bellow. Bye! :)
