            This morning we woke up at 4:00 am and started to get ready to go to Roxie's parent’s house.  We were going there because Roxie’s grandpa died a few days ago.  So, we were going to his funeral.  When we got there we ate breakfast and sat around for about two hours.  Then we left to go to the church.  After the services there we went to the grave site and talked a little more.  I helped carry the coffin to where it would sit.  We went back to the church for lunch.  Lunch was delicious. I ate 4 chicken legs and some corn and a piece of bread.  We went back to Roxie’s parent’s house and got ready to go.  On our way back home we read some and then I went to sleep.  When I woke up we were back in Jacksonville.  I started my chores and when I was finished I played some on my PS2 until dinner time.  After dinner we watched a movie and then went to bed.

            I started school and had two tests.  On my Social Studies test I made a 100% because it was on the Civil War.  On my spelling test I also made a 100%.  I had another day of band.  This time we only got to play our instrument for five minutes out of the one hour of practice.  I came home and went to my piano lesson.  I had to redo three of my songs because they needed a lot of work.  After finishing the rest of what I had to do for School, we ate dinner.  Then Daddy and I went to play darts in the shed.  We had a blast.  I came inside and played my video game until the first home group guests arrived.  When every one was here we did our praise and worship and then Jaden, Lane, Darien and I went into my room to play on my PS2.  Afterwards we all went outside and rode bikes and skateboards.  When we were done we put everything away and then swung on the swing.  We all had a very fun time together.  We came back inside to cool off but it turned out that everyone had to leave.  We all said good bye and that we would see each other next week.

This morning Roxie and I did our school work together and then I had time to do stuff on my own.  I was done pretty quickly but Roxie and I still had a few more things to do.  We worked hard to get it all done in time before bed time but we were not able to.  Another reason I did not get done in time is because Daddy and I played base ball and stuff.  I got ready for bed.  I brushed my teeth and then I got Daddy to come upstairs and say good night.  He said he would be up in a minute and then he would come up, but it took more like five minutes.  I then went to bed once he left.  I still had the cat with me that night and he slept with me the whole night.

I woke up and Roxie and I finished the work that we needed to do.  I then started to play on my PS2 until lunch time.  My mustang on my new game is now complete.  It has a split hood with neon and engine accents in the engine area.  The trunk has one big 15 inch speaker and 4 more smaller ones with neon glow lighting it up.  It has Lamborghini doors.  My whole car is made of carbon fiber except the roof which is painted to look like the rest of the car.  I have neon under glow and my car goes 210 miles per hour.  I can’t wait to make the rest of my cars like that.

            I went to church this morning.  It went well but it was a little boring.  One of my friends named Eric came over after church.  We ate lunch and then Eric and I came into my room and played video games for five hours.  When I was playing www.runescape.com Eric was playing my new game.  He went into a car lot and accidentally traded in my tuned mustang in for a stock golf GTI.  I was so mad at him because I had spent over $120,000 on that car.  Once I had calmed down we ate dinner and then we took Eric home.  We came home and I had to take the trash out.  I then started to type in my journal.  Tonight I have to do piano and maybe I will have some time to play.

             After Roxie and I were done with our school work that we had to do with each other we ate lunch.  After lunch I had to pack up my clarinet and hurry off to band.  This time, out of our one hour of practice we only got to practice fifteen minutes which is a little better than last time.  It was still worse than before though, because the people had worse attitudes and they were louder than ever.  We came home and I worked on my stuff to do until I had to go to tennis practice.  It went well.   Daddy got me a new water jug because the last one was stolen.  He also got me a new racket because mine was bent in many places.  I came home and ate dinner.  I finished my school work and then made my bed.  Goodnight. 

Editor's Note:  We gave our neighborhood middle school band a try for two weeks, but it has been rough and God has opened up a better opportunity on more familiar grounds at Toupe's elementary school.   Read on...

            This afternoon around two o clock we went to band to tell my band teacher that I would not be coming any more to that class because I have been invited to go back to Fishweir Elementary and play there.  We came back to the house and I got the saxophone and my clarinet.  We went to band at Fishweir.  For beginning band I played the saxophone and I learned a lot.  For advanced band I wanted to play my clarinet but Roxie told me to play the sax.  The whole time I was sitting there pretending to play, but I did still learn some more.  We came home and I finished the rest of what I had to do for school.  We ate dinner and then went to play tennis.  I brought my new racket to play with.  Daddy taught me a style of how to play and it was kind of fun but it still worked.  After playing on the wall for some time we went and played some games of tennis on a court.  It was then very dark so we had to come home.

            This morning I woke up at 4:00 AM and I played video games from 4:45 to 7:55 AM.  After a normal day of school I had to wash the shower curtain because it was filthy dirty.  After I cleaned it I made of a game of slip’n slide in the yard and it was pretty fun.  I had to add a few plastic sheets to make it longer, though.  When I was done with that it started to rain.  I finished what I had to do by myself by 4:45 and I had time to play before dinner.  After dinner I cleared the table and came back upstairs to play until 8:40.  At 8:40 I took my shower and typed in my journal.  Now I have to go to bed.

            After school at 2:30 PM I went to band.  I played my saxophone and I am getting a lot better but it is still a whole lot different than the clarinet.  After beginning band was over I went on to advance band.  I played my clarinet in advance band this time.  I had to leave a little early though because I had a piano lesson.  At piano I finally made it to a new level.  I am now on level 3B.  I was so happy and got new books.  I came home and finished what was left of school that I had to do and then Roxie gave me a list of what other small things I had to do before home group.  When I was done with that some of the people started coming.  When everyone was here we ate a huge dinner because everyone brought some of their own dinner with them.  After we were done eating Darion, two other little kids and I came upstairs and played around.  Darion and I played video games while the two smaller kids played with my cars.  Everyone left and I went to sleep.
