Last night I had to go to the Elementary School for the PTO Board meeting.
Honestly? I'm still a little confused about what my role is. I just basically sat there and smiled politely and I have no idea what they are talking about. I mean, I read the notes and I really do try to keep up with what's going on, but since it was my very first meeting? Well, I don't know. I just nodded and smiled, which I am very good at.
After the meeting, I saw my daughter's teacher in the hall. I said hello and she smiled broadly and said:
"Girl Child is very excited about going to Disney World."
And I really wanted to say, "OH MY SWEET LORD! SO AM I! I JUST CAN'T WAIT! IT'S ONLY TWENTY-THREE DAYS AWAY!"
But yeah. I'm an adult and "responsible" and "not a huge freak" or whatever, so I said, "Oh, I know! Well, that's probably my fault. I booked the trip in May and in hindsight I should have waited to tell them until closer to the trip."
She laughed and said, "Somehow, and I don't know how she does it, she manages to work her trip into her writing every day."
I laughed too.
Then? I came home and took a look at her daily work.

Topic: Cats
I love cats. They are furry. Cats are nice and soft. If I had a cat I would have to board her before I go to Disney World on October 21st. I am very excited about going to Disney World.

Topic: The Tennessee River
The Tennessee River is very wet. It is very long. The Tennessee River is in Tennessee. It is not in Florida. Disney World is in Florida. So is Mickey.

Topic: Marco Polo
Marco Polo was an explorer. He did not discover Disney World.
Really. What on Earth would I do without her?
That girl knows what is important in life.

Take care xx
So, she's clearly not wanting to go to Disney World.
Love the entries!!
So cute!
Only 23 days? Time is flying!
PS. My word verification is "atool". heehee
It's finally almost here! Whoo-hoo!
Your children? Rock something fierce! I think we should all strive to mention DisneyWorld every day in everything we write.
I'm about to write a press release about some new technology. I'm sure I can put Disney in there somehow.
Okay, so that whole, "apple not falling far from the tree thing. . .?"
IT'S BEING LIVED OUT IN YOUR HOUSE!!!
What kind of crappy-ass explorer was he, anyway?

Aww, too sweet 'girl child's' journal....so you think she's excited much?! I am SO excited just reading about it.
You make me smile because this sentance that you just said completely describes me in most public situations
"I just basically sat there and smiled politely and I have no idea what they are talking about."
LMAO. Far too cute. It's these moments that make us laugh that really make it all worth it :)
She's going to take after her mama and have a GREAT blog one day.
she is an awesome writer-- just like her mama!
:) She's just a little preoccupied, eh?
I'm believing those are real and not made up entries...and they are killer funny.
Yes, the world needs her.
And her mama.
I'd say she is just slightly excited......lol. Too funny!
Hilarious, sounds like you guys are going to have some great memories from this trip!
That is too cute!
I love this girl on bagels. Bigtime.
Can you convince her that Disneyland is in Washington you think? I have a Mickey, a Minnie, and hell the kids can be as good as rides any day!
I cannot wait for you guys to go though. It will be so. much. freaking. fun.
Her creativity really is awe-inspiring.
hehe I love reading my daughter's school journal.
Disney is awesome, so I don't blame her for being excited. I love that place!
She's good!!!!!
This totally cracks me up!!!
