With the recent explosion of snow we have had in Appomattox lately, I have had quite a few days off of work--and most of them I have spent cleaning and organizing.
In the course of this, I came across my second grade journal. You must know that I am quite proud of my second grade journal. Even now, the "Excellent Journal, Kelly!" that my teacher wrote across the front makes me smile. I decided to sit down and read through 7-year-old thoughts. And, I must say that I have not laughed so hard in a very long time. I've jotted a few of them here, verbatim, just for fun:
"Today me and Caitlin are going to start sowing outfits for the play we are going to do. We are also going to ask people to help us do it. I am going to tell people what it is for and Caitlin will ask them. I hope Caitlin does not quit."
"Caitlin is my best friend she is not bossy she is really nice I promise."
"Yesderday I missed school I was sick. Last night I was iching like crazy. Today I am going to take a nap."
"Me and Caitlin are going to save up our money then we will put it togather and go to Bush Gardens Kings Dominan or Disney World or bye the american girls dolls. I hope we get a lot of money soon becase I'm getting exsited."
"Me Caitlin and Stephanie have a club. If we don't want a member in our club we just get 'em out. We just got a member out the club, it was a boy so we had to. Anyway the whole group voted to get him out."
"Today is Monday. We are going to have P.E. I like P.E. and Library. I don't like music that much. "
And of the last two, all I can say is that time changes some things more than others. :)

This is still hilarious. I wish I could find my second grade journal!
