August 2

Well, my sister was too sick for Athletics Day today, so we didn't go. We've been at home all day.  Fortunately, she's feeling better now, so we probably are still going out tomorrow.

Nothing much happened today, for some reason. It's been pretty so-so.

August 1

It's a brand new month! The year sure is passing by fast. We're two thirds of the way through already.

My little brother has his birthday in exactly one week. I already know that I will buy him an umbrella, I just have to get around to doing it! We made a deal that if he buys me an umbrella for my birthday, I would buy him an umbrella for his. He came through, now I have to as well.

My sister has been sick today, and slept most of the day away. I hope she feels better tomorrow, because tomorrow is the school Athletics Day! This year my older brother and I are in the pink group. He doesn't seem to mind, and I like pink, so I don't mind either. It's kind of fun to meet up with all of the other homeschoolers, but I don't like having a huge crowd there. Last year was weird, yet also cool. I was one of only two people in my entire grade! The other was a boy, and as almost all of the awards are divided into boy/girl sections, I won first place in practically everything! Best I've ever done at an Athletics Day.
