Making Progress?

My first entry written was on March 10 it is now March 27. I'm on the fence if I have made any progress about blogging. I mean it is less than a month since my last blog, but on the other hand it has been 17 days since my last blog.
I'm reading this book that Parker got me for Christmas. It's called the The Purpose Drive Life by Rick Warren it is a religious spiritual self-help improvement book. We started reading it back in December and then for some reason we missed one night and never touched it again. I'm trying to star over with it  and start with day one. The first day is all about how life is not about you and what makes you happy. Its about why did God put you on this Earth now of course it never comes out in says the reason, but the question it ask at the end is "In spite of all the advertising around me how can I remind myself that life is really about living for God, not myself?" Now I think I do a good job about being helpful to others as long as they are not in my family, I think I need to practice more on helping out around the house and helping out my family.
Here is the thing that I struggle with though It's not supposed to be about me-- and I am not the person who expects gifts and praise but I have a hard time offering things when you know they are going to take advantage of you. There are many times where I feel like all I do is give, give, give-- there is no thank you or you didn't have to do that. But the second I accidentally make a mistake its your an idiot or don't ever help me again. My family is kind of like my Siamese cat for instance she was mad because I was reaching across her while she was relaxing she got mad and bit my arm. She jumped off the couch and went to my bed for a second she is now back on the couch next to me snuggling in. My family doesn't like when I do something they don't talk to me for a week and then all of the sudden they are calling me every night begging me to help. Now here is something from 6th grade...
