Volleyball Again






We played two more games this week. We played Dacusville away and West Oak home. This week the team was very unfocused and we lost both games. However it wasn't a total lost because the Coach noticed that my serving had improved even more and that I was playing very well. (Compared to every one else it was pretty obvious when almost every one was messing up) She gave me a starting position. I was one of the starters in the game against West Oak, and I will be starting the game against McCants. I am still a little nervous about that game because I know at least one of the volleyball players over there, but I am sure we can still win.

Game Day

Sorry there isn't any pictures. I just don't have time to wait for them to load. Anyways, the first game was a home game against Liberty Middle. Unfortunately we lost the first game. We all got to play in the game some and it was still really fun. The second game was an away game against Getty's. We had to take a bus there. The first bus we were on would not shift gears. Then we had to switch to a different bus that was working properly. We won the game against Getty's, but not everyone got to play. I got to play more in the second game, but when I went to serve I though the ref hadn't told me it was okay to serve and then at the last second I slowed my arm down. Needless to say the serve was ten feet from going over the net. During the game Norma went up to the net to spike the ball and fell on her hip. They had to take her to the Memorial Greenville Hospital. She is currently in a lot of pain and will not be allowed to play the rest of the season. She was one of the team's key players, but we will have to do with out her. During practice on Thursday we played the serving game. You serve the ball, and if it is a good serve you get back in line, but if not then you run laps until the game is over. The couches decided to play. At toward the end it was just me and Couch Solla. She missed a serve, but I got mine in. I probably served about thirty good balls. I am pretty proud of my serving arm. It has come a long way since the start of the season.

Blitz





Mom finally let me get a guinea pig. He is one pound two ounces. His name was orignally Oreo, but we had to change it. So for a while we couldn't think of any good names, but then I though of the Blitz. It fits with him. This Monday (Sept. 8th) in the first volleyball game of the season!!! I hope we win. We are palying against Liberty Middle. The game will be played at Southwood. Yeah!!! I wanted the first game to be a home one anyways. Tuesday is our second game and it will be played at Gettys. So in the first week we will play one home game and one away game. I will try to get Mom to take some good pictures.

That Time Again






That's right!!! You guessed it!!! Bath Day!!! Every one loves bath day (or maybe just charlie does). Tell me if you think she likes bath day based on the pictures. Things have been pretty slow around here today. I got up at eight and then had some left over pizza for breakfast. Then Mom and I watched the news until nine. They were talking about a balloon that crashed in the trees in Anderson. We thought it was the blue balloon that was hasing some probalems yesterday, but the one on the news was red and yellow. Then Dr.Phil came on and I had to watch it. It was a new one. Well I guess that it all. Like I said thing have been really slow.
