First Day At Irving

Dear Journal,

It’s the Monday of the first day of school. I’m at Irving now. My teachers think I’m bad. I’m not bad I just keep doing something wrong because its all so new. I met Vanessa; she’s a nice girl. I walk to grandma’s after school and my mom drives me to school.

Seventeen Magazine

Dear Journal,
I am discontinuing my subscription to Seventeen. Its just too old for me. I wanted something more “my age” so I picked up a Girls Life. I love it!

I can’t sleep so I’m writing. Probably because its so hot!

There is another pet show at the Children’s Museum.

The Fredins Leave

Dear Journal,

The Fredins are finally leaving tomorrow. I don’t like how Christine hovers around you for awhile and then asks, “what are you doing?” and then you tell her what you are doing and she will keep following you around and you’re just like, GET OFF MY BACK!

I really want to work at the zoo! I may get to work at the petting zoo!

The Fredins Visit

Dear Journal,

The Fredins came today at 1:00. Mickey said that they got started a little after five AM but their original plans were to get started at four AM! She said they got started late because the girls did not want to wake up. Well I wouldn’t want to get up either!

We went to their hotel and swam for about four hours! We ate dinner with them at the hotel (sloppy joes) then we went to PetCo, which is really close, and go the kittens some food. One person was buying a hooded male baby rat (how cute!). When they left the other little boy rat looked sad and confused because his friend was gone. I wanted to bring him home so badly!

Adopting The Cats

Dear Journal,

I have so much to tell you! First of all when we went to the humane society they did not only have Cassie (the three-year-old torti) they also had a mixed breed long hair kitten whom no one would be able to resist. But it was on hold.

Then we went to Forney Animal Clinic (where Lucky goes) because they said they had two kittens that needed adopting. They were both black, one male, one female. The male was so cute and pitiful-looking. Only four weeks. But we did not want a male so we got the female.
The next day we first went to pick up Cassie. When we got there the long-haired kitten was still there so we got her, then went to pick up the other kitten. Now we have two kittens and one cat.

Birthday Planning

Dear Journal,
Sorry I didn’t write again yesterday. I was really busy! First, of course, we went to Fringe and Tassel. They had some really neat costumes. I’m sorry I can’t write well in the car!

Later…

Dear Journal,
Okay. I left off talking about Fringe and Tassel. It is a really cool shop. My favorite costume was the 20s swing outfits. Natalie’s munchkin costume is cute. We went to The Mill, Salvation Army and an antique shop.

At my Wizard of Oz birthday we will see the play and before we do we will watch the movie with the Pink Floyd CD, which is supposed to go with the movie. I will invite Becky, Abby, Carly, Catlin, T.J., and Michael.

Today we bought a washer and dryer, a sofa (that folds out into a bed and looks like our old one), and a desk. We got a birdie game and some other stuff.
