My poem is finished!!!!!!!

I'm so excited! I really put alot of time and effort into it, and Mr Smith said it was really well written. I haven't gotten a grade back yet, but that doesnt really matter because I know that he likes it. Our next assignment is writing a short story (3-5 pages.) Thats going to be much easier than the poem, but I dont know if I could do a whole story in that short space. I need subtle character development, but I'm not going to have that in 3-5 pages! But oh well, Mr Smith is an excellent teacher and I'm sure he'll do a fantastic job teaching it.

I made a really sad decision the other day. I told the family with the twins that I couldn't babysit for them on a regular basis, because I've got entirely too much on my plate. It made me really sad because I really wanted to do that job, but a verse from Proverbs is a tremendous help. "Do not wear yourself out to get rich, have the wisdom to show restraint."

I have enough babysitting opportunites to satisy my baby urges, but still there was just something special about the twins.
