Dear Journal,
I'm sorry I forgot to write in you. Yesterday was fun but today is not. It is hot. We had a drought and people prayed that we would get over it soon. So it rained a lot. Today was the first day it was hot again. I played outside a lot. It was fun. We started homeschooling. I'm in 3rd grade.
I am 8.
Love, Melonie
Dear Journal,
I'm sorry I forgot to write again. I always have a lot to do. Today I just cleaned.
Love, Melonie
Today I did my work. Then I played with my friend Emily. We saw a peacock. It was a girl. It was going to have babies.
I am 8.
Love, Melonie
Dear Journal,
Today I played with Emily. I wanted to play at my house so when we went to my house, Emily almost ran over a snake with her bike. I caught it. It was a baby Boa Constrictor! Some boy took it and pushed me. I was sad.
Love, Melonie
Dear Journal,
Today we went to church. Brother Talbot said (when we were leaving to get the truck), "Are you sneaking out?" Daddy said "no". Then brother Talbot said, "I thought you were going fishing!" I told him that is not righteous.
I am 8.
Love, Melonie
