Some of the people reading this may be to old to remember what it was like to be in 5th grade,so let me give you an average day..............
8:40 :Slept in so your rushing every where to get dressed.You take the brush and brush your hair for about 2 seconds before running to the bus stop just in time to see it leave.All your effort gone to waste.So you hop into the car. (ofcourse you forget your coat and it's freezing)
8:58 : You made it!You step out of the car at the car dropoff right before the bell rings.You run across the field as fast as you can. .Suddenly you slip into a mud puddle .You think to yourself:why me!?You made it just intime.And instead of an award,you get work to do.
(you may think it's all downhill from here,but trust me,it gets worst)
9:00-10:45 :More work and caught snoozing and daydreaming a couple of times.Teasing for the wet water from the puddle,but it happened to someone else yesterday so no big deal.And then you stump to a hard problem and ask your teacher she sais "you should already know this" Well,you don't know but you leave quietly geussing the answer thinking to yourself:What's the point of going to school if your not going to learn anything?I mean, seriously.
10:45-11:11 :You realize you don't have a coat so you stall in the bathroom.You realize you had been stalling a minute past recess so you sneak in the room.Ofcourse you get caught and get the worst punishment of all:extra homework (somehow,whenever the teacher sais 'extra homework' in the backround you always hear a dun dun duuuuun!)
11:11-12:30 :Math.The worst part of the day.And then even worse; you get the hiccups.You drink water,hold your breath,even scare yourself.Nothing works.Once again you think:Why me!?(You think this ALOT during the day)
12:30-1:15 :Lunch finally!Your stomach growls in line.How embaressing!Your friend makes you laugh,while you drink milk.NOOOOO!Milk is all over you.Why me!?You call to change your clothes.One good think of the day;You missed recess.At least you didn't have to freeze yourself,then you think;why did I grab my coat?Extra wieght,great.
1:15-3:03 :You have to take a science and then history test and you haven't even finished math.More homework.That pretty much takes up all the time.You doodle and pass notes and the bell rings and you find you have 3 questions left in which you hurry through 3 minutes after the bell rings.
3:03-11:16p.m. :You find that you missed the bus and the day is finally warm,and you have to carry your coat.You walk home getting there just in time to figure out you forgot your math book,and you hadn't finished it.Then you eat a snack and watch TV till 11:00 when you go in bed finally and the last time you see is 11:16 before dozing off.
See how hard it is?No adult could last a day!It is so much more harder to be a 5th grader.All you do at work is(for my dad anyway)is eat lunch and talk to people and think of a way to persuade someone to do something.F.Y.I,i do this everyday.I talk to people,I eat, and I try to persuade mom all the time to raise my allowance money which may look easy but trust me,it is not!And mom,your job is to take care of us,right?I take care of myself every day!Shocking,isn't it?It's a piece of cake for adults,I mean seriously.They make money,stay up at night,make the rules, and get to watch any TV show they want.Did I mention that they don't have to go to school all year except for a mesly 2 1/2 months?I mean,seriously.You guys got it good.

Jessica, your mother has to save this to show to you when you are a mother (someday). The challenges change, but being an adult is definitely not easy.
Jessica I would LOVE to be able to go to school all day and learn new stuff. :)
Has Gossip Girl been shut down? Is there no new gossip happening in the Olsen household?
Gossip Girl -- Your fans await a new post!
This is hilarious. Keep the gossip coming. And by the way, I tagged you and your mom. Just go to my page to copy and paste the directions if either of you have time.
So Jessica, how about sending me a copy of that family picture? I want to print it out for Grandma Dorothy to take with her to Maine.
PS It is true; and not only do adults get to watch whatever TV show they want--they also get to eat ICE CREAM whenever they want to!
:)
