Journal Entry 01-21-12

Wow, it was nice to have a day off and only do what I wanted to as opposed to what I needed to. Well still some things that I needed to do, such as write this journal entry. But this isn't really a hard thing to do, just takes alittle time.
Skowhegan High School had a wrestling meet at home today, so went to watch my nephew wrestle. He had been undefeated until today. Had a couple of really tough matches, hurt his shoulder, so had his first lost for the season. Which was kind of okay, cause now he won't have to go into the state meet without any loses. Will give him a better state of mind, anyone can always lose. Sucks for him though as he was quite upset. Tomorrow will go to Mass. to watch my grandson and 2 nephews wrestle. Just love to watch the boys wrestle. Nana will brag just alittle, grandson is a hot shot wrestler, been wrestling since he was 5, is now 12.
There was a surprise birthday party for my neice today, turns 18. Thought back to when I was 18, "WOW" was that a long time ago. One thought was "oh to be 18 again" but if I didn't know what I know now then I would still probably do the same mistakes. Next thouhgt was "Oh no wouldn't want to go back that far, not the way things are today." It was good that a lot of the family & friends were together to help her celebrate. Families getting together I feel is very important. Family doesn't seem to have the same meaning in today's world as it used to. To many families are split, parents not adult enough to get along and be civil for the kids sake. It just frustrates me to see divorced parents using their kids as chess pons to get back at each other for one thing or another. It isn't the kids fault but they suffer in the end. To me family is always where I can turn to for help, support and guidence. Being the oldest of five children, I sometimes feel as though I give more than I get, but If I really need the help of my brothers and sister they are always there. It really is a great feeling.
Kind of all over the place with thoughts today. Guess that is what happens when you have a busy day and multiple things going on.
Wonder, do I need correct puncuation, grammer and spelling?  Hummm, hope not cause I am not paying attention to that stuff much.
