Today is my birthday and I turn nine at 11:45!!!! I also got you (I always spoke directly to my journals) from my family. And I got a jewel hair mermaid Barbie and I got a Barbie sofa, chair and a coffee table. I also got two pound puppies but when I got the new one, the new one looked so much like a mom that I decided to make my old one a daddy dog. I also already had three puppies and their names were Trisket, Frisket and Biskit and Fudge! (That’s four names) The new one’s names are Cream, Coco and Hershey.

I have three girls from last year in my class and they don’t appear to like me. People have told me that they hate me! I don’t really believe them but I don’t know that they do like me. I’ll have to find out one way or another. I’ll keep you posted.

I’m on the bus now and I don’t have a care in the world! I love my teacher and we are doing family ropes today. A family rope is a large piece that has a rope section for each member of your family and your pets. My rope will be the best! (drawing of a baseball).

Dear Journal,

We go to church today. Someone from our church invited us to laugh (I’m assuming “lunch”) but I don’t want to go. I want to go home.

Dear Diary,

Today I’m fed up with “Annie!” I gave her a birthday card and she said thanks but it was like a woopty doo. Later I was swinging and Annie was next to me. “Heidi” was two swings down. Annie, obviously liking Heidi better begged me to switch with her. I asked Annie if she didn’t want me swinging next to her and she only begged me to switch. I only did so that I could be by “Julie”. She doesn’t use me like a tire.

Love Little Lu
