Blog Journaling Challenge #3
Yeah, yeah I know that I didn't do challenge number 2.
This week is to describe myself as a child of 8. Since I was 8, that would put me in grade 3. I had Mrs. Bakely. We called ourselves the Bakely Bunch and came up with a song that went with the Brady Bunch's theme song but I couldn't recite it because I don't remember any of the lyrics and I don't think we ever wrote them down. I remember getting a Flintstone's book from her for Christmas. Also, when we learned our timestables we were allowed to start writing with a pen, eraseable of course. I remember her classroom faced the playground and was a couple doors down from the cafeteria. She was my only teacher that year and I think I loved all but a couple of the teachers. Not that they were mean or anything. One of them only worked until Chrsitmas break...and that was before the second quarter finished, and honestly I don't even remember her name. I think that was 5th grade and we got an awesome teacher to replace her.
Okay back to 8 years old. I think my room was decorated in a Cabbage Patch Kids theme. I loved my CPK's. I was a Brownie Girl Scout and loved selling cookies. I earned a lot of try-its and patches but that was because I went to most events since my mom was a leader. I loved camping, and still do. My brother was a toddler and a pest. :) Now, he's not a pest anymore. He's deployed over in the sand box and he won't be home in time for my wedding. :( :( He was able to be home for it and the Marine unit he's stationed with (he's in the Navy), their deployment has been extended twice and so my brother's deployment had to be extended. Which sucks because he really wanted to be home for it too and I wanted him to be home too. My best friend was Carole C. I still talk to her. She lives in Indiana now with her dh and kids. I believe her daughter is now 8. I think I wanted to be a lawyer or a teacher back then because of all the writing they have to do. I don't know what I was thinking! I'm neither by the way. The closest I was to becoming either one was in college when I was an education major for a couple years in college. I wanted to get married (which I am doing in less than 6 weeks) and have kids (hopefully not for a few more years). My favorite artist then and still is today is Billy Joel.
