Dear Diary,

I went to school with my Mom again today. It was the last day of summer school, so my Mom’s class watched a movie, Jumanji. Then they had a pizza party, with ice cream, which I got some of. I also started my period for the second time today.

My Mom and I went to see Kathy today. It took me a little while to get up because I was up so late the night before though. But after about 4-5 hours of riding in the car we finally made it.

 

Entry 122

I didn’t have much time to write while I was at my sister’s sorry. Anyways, we came home today, and on our way home we stopped and picked up Louise, and she is going to stay for about 4 days.

Dear Diary,

Louise and I tried to stay up all night last night, but ended up falling asleep around 4 in the morning. We went to a movie today, we saw, “Matilda”, which was about this little girl who was really smart and had secret powers.

 

Entry 124

Dear Diary,

Louise, my Mom, Dad, and I went to church today. It was homecoming so they had finger foods and stuff like that today, which was pretty good. Then they had a gospel group perform.

 

Entry 125

Dear Diary,

Louise, my Mom, and I went to Callaway Gardens for about 2 hours. Louise and I went swimming in the lake for awhile. Then we went home and it was time for Louise to leave so we took her to her Aunt’s, whom she is spending the rest of the week with.

Dear Diary,

My Dad went to work as usual today. My Mom cleaned the whole house today, while I slept until like 2 in the afternoon. That is probably the latest I have ever slept in my entire life.

 

Entry 127

My Mom and I went to the Columbus mall, and we ate at Red Lobster. We had to go to the mall because my Mom needed to pick out a dress for my sister’s wedding.

 

Entry 128

August 17th, 1996

Dear Diary,

I stayed home all day, while my Mom went to Atlanta and got me two new outfits and a jacket. I don’t like the two outfits very much since they are the kind of stuff you wear to church.

 

Entry 129

August 18th, 1996

Dear Diary,

We didn’t go to church today. I stayed up all night last night because I was trying to stay up for 24 hours straight. I didn’t make it I fell asleep around 10 this morning. I’ve already done it once, which was at Amy’s slumber party.

 

Entry 130

August 19th, 1996

Dear Diary,

I started on a dance today for the song, “Waterfalls”, so far it is pretty good. I think I will have it done in no time. The dance itself is not based on the words though, just the music.

 

Entry 131

August 22nd, 1996

Dear Diary,

Tomorrow my Sister’s future Mother-in-law, Mert, my Aunt Susan, and my Sister’s best friend’s sister are coming to spend the weekend with us. They are coming so they can all be here for my Sister’s wedding showers. My Mom has been going crazy trying to clean up.

 

Entry 132

Everyone is coming down from Tennessee, they should all be here around 5-6p.m. My Mom and I got in this huge fight today, but we eventually made up.

Dear Diary,

We went to a shower at Mrs. Welsch’s house today, for my Sister, of course. When we got back home Aunt Susan had to leave though, so we told her bye. Now it is just Kathy, Mert, and Misty here.

 

Entry 134

August 25th, 1996

Dear Diary,

I found out today we are going to have a sleep in at church. It is supposed to start around 6 p.m., and it isn’t supposed to end until like 8:30 the next morning. I really can’t believe that school is supposed to be starting next Monday.

 

Entry 135

August 26th, 1996

Dear Diary,

I stayed home all day today. At one point I did call Amy and invite her to the sleep-in at church, and she said she would ask her Mom about it tomorrow.

 

Entry 136

August 27th, 1996

Dear Diary,

            Today I did the same thing I did yesterday, and when I called Amy and asked what her Mom said about the sleep-in she said her Mom said, “I don’t know”.

 

Entry 137

August 28th, 1996

Dear Diary,

Amy’s Mom said yes about the sleep-in. I also registered for school today and I went to church. I guess you could say it was fun. We stayed outside almost the whole time.

 

Entry 138

August 29th, 1996

Dear Diary,

            I stayed home all day today while my Mom went to work for pre-planning at school.  It was pretty boring since I didn’t have much to do besides watch T.V.

 

Entry 139

August 30th, 1996

Dear Diary,

I found out Dan had a bike wreck today. His bottom lip was almost cut all the way off. He is supposed to be released from the hospital on Monday. Tonight is the sleep-in at church and Amy came over around 5:30, and then we left to go to the church.

 

Entry 140

August 31st, 1996

Dear Diary,

We had fun at the sleep in. I stayed up the whole time, Amy didn’t though. When I got home I went straight to sleep and slept the whole day.
