Terrible Beginning....

Wow, who knew that my summer could start out so rough? First, camp was terrible this year, nothing like last year. Then I get appendicitis. How crazy is that?


Saturday of last week (the sixth), Emylie, Claire and I slept on the trampoline. But I got sick in the middle of the night and wasn't able to go to church the next day. It was terrible, I was throwing up a lot and it was really gross and, yeah. Ha ha.

Then camp ended up being the next day instead of a week later. I still felt a little gross on Monday, but the rest of camp was somewhat okay.

But on Wednesday night, Emylie got sick.

THEN when we got back, I felt sick on Saturday and didn't feel good enough to SHOP. How crazy is that?? I had to have my dad take me back home while the rest of the family was out shopping. I tried to sleep, but I couldn't, and at about 3:15 I woke Janika and my dad up. Then dad took me to the hospital and my mom met us up there. I had a CAT scan and they said I had appendicitis and I would have to get my appendix removed. YAY me! (joke) I had surgery at about 8 or 9 Sunday morning and I got 3 fantastic scars on my stomach that are REALLY gross. Then I had to stay over night, and today (Monday) I got to come home. I am now at home recovering. So, I am going to go... lay down or something... ha ha.

Okay so today...

... was interesting, it was very funny actually. Well there is this girl who loves messing with me, and I don't take crap from anyone [my Max tought me that]. I don't go around starting stuff with her, but she tries to with me, I just don't listen. So this morning on the bus she was talking about me and this boy said "Lexi, are you going to take that?" I said "no, but if she wants to be rude she'll have to tell me to my face, and don't expect me to hit her." And then this other girl, who I should mention has never really favored me, said "Girl stop talking about her behind her back and tell Lexi to her face." It was all so funny, she hasn't said anything since.


Then before lunch I was walking to the band hall with Kara so she could put her stuff up, on the way out I pushed her. She fell all into this boy and he turned BRIGHT red. It was so funny, we couldn't stop laughing all during lunch and Niles gave us the "Why am I friends with you silly girls?" look and Jerel shook his head and laughed. Probably at the fact that we would whisper something in the other ones ear and bust up laughing to the point of tears.


During seventh period we had a gymnastics pep rally, Kara and I went together since we had VIP, with half the school. (: We got there a little later, but Kara saw Jerel, Matt, Daniel, Alex, and Garrett [all guys], and we sat there. Kara sat on the first bleacher that could only fit like two or three people, so she sat with Jerel there, and I sat between Matt and Daniel, with Alex, Garrett and Ms. Ambro [my AMAZING math teacher [= ] behind us, and of course a million billion other people. During the rally they had that bouncy thing that is shaped like this / and it springs you in the air (not to far) and then they made a pyramid, the only one that didn't knock the top piece off was Trever Newells, that kid is great. He has AMAZING talent. And I'm not just saying that 'cause he is super cute.

By the time the rally let out, the bell rang.
But while we were walking down the hall somebody lifted up the little fire alarm alert thing, and got so scared and jumpy, it was so funny that Kara and I couldn't help but let go, fall on the floor and laugh. It's kind of like stop, drop and roll or pop, lock and drop it. But it's more like let go, fall and laugh. (: hehe.

Well that's it for tonight, Michael's 10th birthday party is tomorrow afternoon. Heh. A bunch of 8, 9, 10, and 11 year old boys that have all once told me they thought I was SO pretty at one point in time. But there will also be some girls I think, but they are pretty clingy of me too. Hehe. (: Well night, sweet dreams, don't let the husb... er bed bugs biteeee!! HAAAHA I'M FUNNY.

Updateeeness [=

Okay well I am on this really amazing laptop sitting on my couch with my mom watching CSI, I love this show.

This week has gone by really fast, well actually this whole year has. It's been crazy learning what it is like to be the "big tough guy in the school," which is kind of hard when you're smaller then most of the sixth graders at the elementary. (; So what's up with me? Well I have an award ceremony next week, I really have no clue what awards I am getting. Well this year is almost over and all I can think about is "what am I doing this summer? and what will I do in ninth grade?" I took pre-AP history and science last year and found it interesting but sort of difficult, and this year I took pre-AP math and English, I find that extremely easy but so is history and science. I'm taking all pre-AP next year, that will be interesting... I am not doing drill team but I am doing dance, and Spanish II and also health and speech.





Max has been on my mind a lot and I have many friends that always say "Lexi, I am thinking of your uncle and I'm praying for y'all." It really feels good that I have that support. I pray about him. All the time, during school I almost start crying when friends say my uncle is taking me fishing, or I'm leaving early to go to my Aunt and Uncles. It makes me kind of mad, but also sad. Hm mm... Interesting. But I'm glad he's on the road to recovery, he'll make it. I promise.



My mom is doing good, she is working at Ulta. She loves it there, she is doing good there and she gets to be around make-up and hair products. I like that she works there too because I get the top name makeup and Juicee Couture perfume and other amazing hair products, make-up and perfumes. I love her so much. (: I'm glad that Mother's Day is coming up because then I can really tell her how much I love her. But I'm broke like no joke! I'm really into poems right now because that is what we are on in English, we were doing cynquain poems [[or however you spell it]] so I think I'm going to post one about my madre. :P

Lisa

Lovable, and a funny love and caretaker

Living and laughing and enjoying every moment together

No pain no beauty! we go through a lot of pain! [=

Mother I cherish so dear and near.

): stress is... stressing

Well, where do I start? Life is so dang hectic sometimes you just have to let everything drop and take a moment to lay down and relax, and honestly I can't, even if I am only 13. So maybe I don't have work and everything all the time but let's make a list on what I DO have:
1. TAKS
2. siblings
3. homework
4. family issues
5. drama
6. school
7. school programs
8. friends
9. aches and pains/ girlie periods
10. family everywhere...
11... death):
I'll explain the list kind of simply...
Well like everyone else, I do have a life outside of school/family. I try to combine it all though and it really stresses me out.
1 I made a perfect score on Reading TAKS and I am very eager to find out Math scores, and I have Science and history to prepare for.
2 I have seven siblings, I live with only one, but when we're all together you just have to go step by step and see what happens.
3 I have nonstop homework that is ALWAYS hard and takes a while, and for ya'lls knowledge, next year I am taking all preAP. OUCH!
4 I don't ever really get to talk to my family as a whole and it as hectic, and I don't get along with everyone, so yeah.
5 I'm in eighth grade, so obviously there is little boy fights and girl cat fights and a big problem is drugs in my school, but don't worry I don't hang out with the crack head wanna be bad kids. I'm still the simple little angel I always have been!(:
6 Just school in general is a night-freaking-mare! It is so hard to get to class on time, but I manage it. I have my friends saying stuff like............... Lexi, hey Lexi, girl what's up, SKEMBO GIVE ME A HUG GIRLIE!!!, Bimbo what's up?! while I am trying to get to class, it gets kind of old. Lunch isn't as simple as it was in elementary either! Lunch, who would've thought, can be the WORST part of the day sometimes.
7 I have a lot of school things to do like dance and pep rallies, national junior honor society, etc.
8 My peeps are kind of well.... crazy, insanely crazy but I love 'em. We try to hang out as much as we can, and that can be stressing, not even joking!!
9 I always hurt and especially right now my allergies are KILLING me. I did something to my knee, there goes running and dancing for atleast a few days, actually I'll just, you know act like it doesn't hurt (that could be bad though)!
10 My family lives in like a billion places, Utah, California, Texas, Missouri, Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, and that is all I can think of. But we can never really connect and get together, and it's hard especially through times like deaths and injuries or awards and birthes.
11 Death, is what hurts me the most, I can barely breathe when people die, and it hurts the most when I am really close to them, but right now I believe my uncle Max is holding on and will not die. So please pray on that note.

Seriously I am stressed and I don't even want to deal with all this, plus a man I love very much [uncle Max], is in critical condition and guys, please please please please do pray.

Soo? Spring Breakkkk.

Yaawwnn! So I'll have to tell you everything, it's March the 16Th and my spring break is already planned kinda. So, on Friday I sat and stayed at home bored until around 5 when my grand-parents picked us (Michaela and me) up to go eat at Gloria's (a Salvadorian restaurant), then we spent the night there and on Saturday we went shopping. We spent the night again and then on Sunday we went to church with them and after we ate at Ponchos when my mommy came and picked us up. We got home and my mom locked herself in her room so she could finish two final papers (yikes.) Today everyone is working, so I am at home just doing whatever, should prolly clean my room, but I'll do that later. Ah!! Phone just vibrated... oh text from Brandon. He he. Well tomorrow I'm going to Six Flags! Yippee! And on Wednesday I get to go to my dad's and hang with the childrens and my new friends, Meiyah, Me maw, Cameron, Justin, and JT(: woo that'll be fun. I'll be at my dad's until Sunday, then I'll be at my mom's.

Okay, well Marla talking about Evie and Sophie and there silly things they do, and my baby sisters and all the funny things they do on accident (yeah right) and my cousin who's about to turn two, and all the boy stuff has me thinking. Soon, I'll be in high school, scary right? All my family like my aunts, parents, grandparents, uncles... etc etc., they always say stuff about me going into high school, and they don't realize, I'm prolly more scared then they are. They already went through it all, but they finished in the '90s (or early '00s), it's changed I promise. But let's drop that.

So, I noticed that I like the newer stuff like the fast beat hip-hopish type of Spanish music(: Like Shakira, I love her. Haha I really like Taylor Swift too. But she's a white girly(:



PS... Marla thanks fer offering to help but I had to turn it in on Thursday, so even if you did help I couldn't use them): Thank you... I love you alot alot(: XOXO

Sadness about Life):

Okay, so I already posted today but I didn't post my heart out. Well, today starts my spring break, but yesterday wasn't a very good last day before break. I got to school and found out a boy in my history and who had gym when I had drill, had died. Noone knew how, but it was very sad. He was a boy had friends but not many, he was tall and on the bigger side, he had curly red hair and white eyebrows and he could be mean, but it was only because people picked on him so much. There are these boys that I know, I know one of them fairly well, they were two of his best friends and they were crying so hard all day. I was thinking, what if that had been my best friend? I won't use Elizabeth because I've known her my whole life and they only knew him a few years, so I'll use.... hmm... Mallory. I know her family fairly well so they would've called me. Or even if I had've came to school and found out, I would be in emotional distress. That is so hard to lose someone your close to, I would know. Every year it seems someone dies that I am fairly close to. It is sad and we even talked about him at the Shore(church thing I go to in Rockwall), it was super hard and I was very close to tears. It seems we can never get anywhere without death, it's a road block away from God, you either turn to or away.

Oh oh, I didn't say anything from the Shore... well I got there and we went into the service then to small groups, well then I walked outside and saw Skinner!! He moved and I barely see him ever, when I saw him I screamed so loud and ran up to him. I gave him a HUGE hug and he was like "LEXIIIIIII!! MY BFF I MISSED YOU!!!!" It was so much fun, I ended up hanging out with Caitlin, Caroline, Jerel, Niles, and two other guys that I can't think of at this moment. It was exciting (: hahahaa. I also saw Morgan Eicher and Madison who I haven't seen because they go to a private school here in... wherever it is, DC(Dallas Christian).

I'll post some pictures from lately if I can find any(:


Okay this is Skinner (Jeremy) in seventh grade!(:


This is Morgan Gnader and me(:


This is me and my little brother when I first got my new phone(:

Okay, I haven't blogged in a while, but I had to make a journal cover for English class so I typed in "Lexi Skembo" knowing there HAD to be something, and my little twins and my little Arnold cousins came up, but not me, but I wasn't fully able to use everything since it was blocked at school, so I have pictures of all the Arnolds but Katie and Sam ): and I don't think I have any of my own siblings. Wierd huh? But, oh well, anyways I clicked on a picture of Jakey just now and Marla's blog came up and I realized I was tagged! Crazy, huh? (: haha.
