On the home front, things are improving. (I use the word lightly, EXTREMELY lightly.) Mom's still jobless, and I'm keeping busy (i.e. baseball (The Yankees lost today. Can I cry?), clubs, school, and karate). I just got over the flu and good ol' Jewish penicillin worked it's magic, though I'm still kind of sniffly. I finally got over my phobia of submitting to the school's lit mag and my gutsiness paid off for me because it is definitely in. :] I'll definitely be submitting more because that was a mega confidence booster. :] It was also a creativity booster. Expect stuff...lots of stuff, including I'm A Pyro v.2 a.k.a. Fire Bug. (Over hauled it. First and last stanzas are the same, but I completely changed the middle and it worked out great in my opinion), and just some other stuff that will not be depressing because I fear that I'll get back into my 8th grade phase of 'wahhh wahhh my life sucks and the world hates me' because while my situation with my mother is really bad, I have so many good things to keep me right in the world. (Kerri, my best friends, and the sane members of my family). Tomorrow is the homecoming game at school and I'm praying for a miracle because our school's record is 0-5 and theirs is 4-1. See the need to pray? And how sad is it that it's my senior year and the first year I'm staying for a homecoming game . I will have tailgated for all four years tomorrow. So I'm not TERRIBLY lacking in school spirit

Well I rambled about nothing again. That's all folks!
