April 22, 1988 I have been sick but I am feeling some better today. I went to the doctor and they did the two throat cultures and they both came back negative. I must just have a virus that is going around or something. That’s probably it because Emily has been feeling bad just like me and she came…

April 21, 1988 I was sick today and I went to the doctor they did two throat cultures and they told us to call tomorrow and see what the results of the tests are. I might have strep throat but they said it was probably just a virus that has been going around. I hope so because I don’t like…

April 20, 1988 Today has been pretty go so far. Yesterday I played kick-ball, soccer, and soft-ball with a bunch of the kids at the apartment complex. We had fun and I helped mom with the clothes and all that. My dad called me and I talked to him. He is going to move into a two…

April 19, 1988 Today has been pretty good so far. I don’t feel too good though. I hate school sometimes. I will be so glad when we get out for the summer. I am going to stay with my Daddy some and I am going to work at his store. It will be fun. There’s not really all that much…

April 18, 1988 Yesterday, I went to the state capitol and saw Huey Long’s monument. We went up to the tower and I felt like I was floating around when we were on the elevator. I almost fainted when we got up there. I was better when we got down. There was a bicycle race up there…

April 15, 1988 I had fun last Friday. My friend Heather and I went to Ms. Earlene’s office and passed out flyers for her. We had fun knocking on doors and all that stuff. We helped Mrs. Earlene out alot by doing that and she really appreciated it alot. She is a nice lady and I like…

April 12, 1988 The hardest thing for me to do is sit and listen to my mom gripe and complain about anything and everything. I love her alot but she gets me so mad sometimes and I just want to slap her across the face but I can’t help it. She goes on and on about things…

April 8, 1988 Life would be alot easier if men and women could get along as husband and wife and have a good marriage. Men should not hit on women no matter how mad they get and women should not throw things at men no matter how mad they get. People should act their age…

April 7, 1988 If I won a million dollars the first thing I would do is buy my dream car. My dream car is a candy-apple red Ferrari Testarossa. But one thing I would want it to be convertible and Testarossa’s don’t come convertible. I would have to buy a corvette convertible and get Testarossa body panels…

April 6, 1988 I earned my first dollar when I was in about 2nd grade. There was this older lady that lived by me (edited to add: Mrs. Mack) and she had a paper thrown every day. They would throw it on the ground and I would pick it up and put it on her door so that she…
