Kindergarten Contortionist

I haven't had much time to blog this week. Kindergarten is just keeping me so busy! I'm exhausted by the time I get home and have had numerous meltdowns at night. What's a girl to do? I haven't had to much in the way of homework, just a couple of fun projects that my mom helped me complete. In spite of that, I've barely had any time to watch television this week. I'm a television junkie, people! It's a big deal if I'm not keeping up with my shows.

I've gotten in trouble a couple of times this week. Walking to school, a friend and I opened our umbrellas as we walked along, and our teacher hollered at us to close them. It was her idea, so I wasn't that embarassed when we got scolded. Plus, it wasn't even raining, so I didn't mind closing it up. Today, I grabbed scissors out of a girl's hand and had to sit in time out for 5 minutes. I wasn't that embarassed about that, either, because she isn't a friend of mine.

Went to gymnastics class again today for class #2. I have a feeling I'm going to get pretty good at this. I'm very flexible. I'm practically made of rubber. My mom thinks I'm going to get a job in a sideshow. That would be fun. I'm almost like the girl in the picture above.

Tonight, my mom said she wishes she had more money. I told her I'm going to buy her some. See ya later! I'm going upstairs for my bath and to listen to a book on CD. Maybe I'll do a review on it for you guys--Matilda

First Day of School

I went off to school this morning like I've been doing it my whole life. Here I am, getting ready to walk into school. I'll let you know how it goes....

Ladybug Undies

Well, the weekend is over and with it, my carefree life. Tomorrow morning I become an official school student. A kindergartener, with homework, phys ed, school lunches, etc. I'm wearing a green dress with three apples across the front. Maybe I can talk my mom into taking a picture. Stay tuned for details about my day...

Tonight after my bath I picked out underwear with ladybugs all over them. I said to my mom, "I'm picking these because ladybugs bring good luck. If you have ladybugs all over your butt, you will definitely have good luck. Plus, it might help you to not wet your pants at school." My mom looked a little worried when I said that.

Sarah Palin

Mommy asked me to look at this picture of this woman named Sarah Palin. She asked me what I thought of her. I said, "She looks weird. Maybe we could fix her up with a makeover." I came up with the picture next to this with my Mom's help. I told her what to do. I think I had great ideas. Mommy said she is running for vice-president. I don't even know what Mommy's talking about. Mommy also said she has 5 kids, and their names are Track, Bristol, Willow, Piper, and Trig. The only name I like is Sarah Palin's name. I have one word to say about those kid's names: weird.

I started gymnastics today. It was great. The teacher was so nice. She was so pretty. It was a serious gymnastics class, and I got very hot, and very sweaty. The leotard was picking me, because it was way too small on me. But I still managed to have a great time. I want my mom to buy me a red, white, and blue leotard, which they sell at the gymnastics center. For now, it looks like she'll just have me squeezing into my old one.

I also got some great news today! I got a call from my new school, where I'll be starting kindergarten next week. I got the teacher I was hoping I would get. She seems really, really nice, and she made me count teddy bears at my testing, which I was thrilled about.

Well, I have to get ready for bed. I have kindergarten orientation tomorrow, so I have to get my beauty sleep. Ta Ta for now! --Matilda W

Nothing New

I'm on a mini-vacation right now at my grandparents, so I've had to give my mom updates over the phone. I had root beer float ice cream the other night. It was DE-LISH! Anyway, there was a sweepstakes form on top of the ice cream. You could win a trip to Italy. My grandmom said if she wins the trip to Italy, she would take me with her. I told her to take my grandpop, because I'm not going anywhere where they don't speak English. See ya --Matilda W.

Me, Me, Me, Me, Me, Me, Me

Here's some stuff I want to tell you about myself:

favorite color: Red
favorite animal: dogs (I like my aunt's dog, it is a weiner kind of dog)
favorite food: taco, because I like to put a lot of sour cream on it
favorite tv show: Hannah Montana, iCarly, Arthur, SuperWhy, Wipeout (because I like when people fall off those big red balls)
favorite song: I Gotta Go My Own Way & Fabulous from High School Musical 2
things that make me laugh: when people say toilet words like poop, poopy, and peepee; when I see kids get in trouble with their parents at a store because I'm so glad it's not me, and I especially like when my sister gets in trouble
I love to: dance, blow bubbles, scream, sing, play with my friends
I don't like: my hairy legs, they just aren't ladylike; my hairy arms; boo boos, The Doodlebops, and having to sit in timeout; and most especially, I don't like it when I don't get what I want

I had breakfast at Cracker Barrel today. When you order chocolate milk there, you get your own little carton, like at school. I had two of them. Also, you get your own little bottle of maple syrup. I got in trouble because I took off the lid and drank it like it was a bottle of water. Also, I tried to spread the butter on my pancakes with my finger. My own little finger. Both of my parents were mad.

See ya later. --Matilda W.

Hello!

My name is Matilda, as in Matilda Wormwood from the movie and book Matilda. That isn't my name, but my mom says I have to use it in case weirdos read this. I am 5 years old. My mom is going to type this up and interview me if I run out of things to say. I hope you like it.

Today I found a great website where you can play fun games, oh yeah, and learn some things, too. It's the Sid The Science Kid section of PBSkids.com. Here's the link: http://pbskids.org/sid/index.html

Also, here's my first movie review ever. I watched The Little Mermaid Ariel's Beginning this morning. I want to say that it was really, really good. There were some great songs in it. I got up and danced each time one of the songs came on, so I have to say that it must be pretty good. I plan to watch it, like, a hundred more times.

The only other thing I want to talk about right now is a good drink at Starbucks. It's a smoothie, and I saw the man (well anyway, my mom said it was a man because his name was Ryan but he had a girl's hairdo and looked like a girl) put a banana in it, so I'm pretty sure it is a healthy drink. It was called an Orange Mango Banana Viviano smoothie. They had samples at the supermarket Starbucks, and I took two of them when they weren't looking, so then my mom didn't have to actually buy me a drink.

The typist is getting tired, so we'll talk more tomorrow. Feel free to email me and/or post comments. Keep it clean, I can't read bad words, but my mom sure can --Matilda W.
